Good player strong competition at left back.

And a potential ( when injuries occur ) to play behind Pring with Pring further forward. Finally looking like we have decent squad numbers. 

Decent. But hes no Cam Pring! Not a bad backup though!

Well done LM & the boys

Absolutely!

However, why the need to switch to the back 3 we all know doesnt work is beyond me.

If stays 2-0 then it worked!

Maybe it gives us that extra body in midfield screening the width of the pitch as we don’t exactly need more goals 

Wrong!

Invites pressure in a game we were under no pressure. 

Why does it feel like in Manning we have a bit of LJ? Silly tinkering of formations. 
4 at the back working fine then switches back to a 3 and leaves us wide open in wide areas. 
Almost trying to be too clever imo.

Low in confidence, probably feeling the pressure especially when with the competition for places up front. Needs a goal

Absolutely. Shame really. Amazing what a goal might do but defo struggling.

Totally lacking confidence.

Yep. One on one take your man on. No, lash it into the top of the stand.

Oh Sammy, the keepers on his ass and you hit it straight at him..

Weak mental game once again. GK was almost 18 yards out, loads of time to take it round him. Poor mental choices once again.

It is and he’s given one. And I think I’d concur with it.

Noone has to concur with anyone. Its a forum for opinion and discussion, not agreement.

What is the reason that we didn't take our chances in your opinion?

Perhaps we lack quality?? I really like the way we are playing under Manning but this is way too many games weve not won whilst being the better team. Hopefully some extra additions in summer help with that.

If Cornick had missed this place would have gone into meltdown. 

This is also true.

Whheeyyyyyyy!!!! Welcome to a forum of open opinions!

That is you take away from tonight. Seriously?

Nope. I take away we shouldve won and once again missed several chances to have won the game. 
My opinion on Bell is not swayed by a penalty. Hes not good enough and will never be. Simple as.

Weak penalty by a weak player 

Ah well. We can concentrate on the league and aiming for 12th place now 

Settle for 12th!!!

Weak player. Weak mentality. But hes academy so lets not slag him off!

Just now, RedRaw said:

Not having a dig but has max ever saved a penalty?

Dunno. But has Sam Bell ever scored one. Ffs. 

Why is it that, when they lose, the same old ‘they were a poor team’, ‘we shouldve won’, ‘the ref this, the ref that’ comes out every time?! I know Joey liked to talk shite but theyre all like it. All acting like their top of the league and how dare anyone beat them fair and square. 
An odd bunch!

don't think you can really blame that on Max. Shite defending really. Their bloke had way too much space for a shot

Yeh he only had 25 yards to spot it before patting it straight into the centre of the goal for a tap in. . But its fine as his distribution is brilliant ( it isnt) and he catches the odd cross more than 6 yards from his line. 
New gk in the summer please. 

Ah well. Max is a top keeper, lets not shout at him cos he comes out for the odd cross.

With Appleton in charge there, Curtis wont be long about being a caretaker again.

BUMP!!! Now there’s a shock hey!!

That will be horrific up there tonight in this wind!

Tbf, watching our not so similar man city tippy tappy shite isnt going to bring out an atmosphere!

No plan B. Why not go for it with Wells and Conway up top? We have a squad that can play 3.4.1.2 

Maybe yes. Better idea than putting Cornick on thats for sure!

We all thought that on 60mins when the changes were made. We were expecting Cornick to make an appearance but it obviously didn’t happen.

The raffle tombola wasnt open today for him to get on. 

In all honesty, away fans have the worst stand of the 4. We have several games where less than 1,000 away fans attend yet we still let them take the entire width of the stand. 
When away allocations are of this number, stick them on the Dolman or Lansdown side of the Atyeo so they cannot be behind the goal itself. 
You think of the several away games we go to where we are stuffed into a corner, i dont understand why we dont do that to the several teams that bring small numbers. 
But BCFC have always been too nice, with no real winning mentality at the club ( Nige changed this a little ), so we wont do this at all and we’ll continue to welcome away teams with open arms.
