Was it just me or did he not seem as comfortable on the ball today as he has recently?

Defensively pretty solid but I thought the pace and movement of the Sunderland front men today unsettled him.

Maybe. They pressed pretty high though so he wasnt given much time on the ball as usual.

The eXact spot of Bas’ finest moment 

I still dont think i’ll ever see again an entire ground laughing in unison as that fateful Bas day.

Last 6 games they've lost 0-1,  0-3,   0-3, 0-4,  0-3,  0-3.

P6  W0 D0 L6   Goals For 0   Against 17

The 0-4 was a FA cup game., but that's some streak.  Can the manager survive that run?

Not many POMO’s there!

That depends if anyone scores though!

Generous assessment.

The solution is incredibly simple, make the free shirt offer that goes with U12 tickets apply to the family area in the Upper Lansdown only.

Still sell kids tickets elsewhere, just no free shirt unless it's in the family area.

But my son will like to sit in the Dolman with me, listening to the pr1ck behind me still not understanding the offside rule. .
Its good education for my 7 year old to understand how stupid a single adult can actually be!

My solution to this is that if a STH fails to attend X amount of home games (without a good reason) then they forfeit their seat. 

I simply refuse to believe that we have 1000s buying adult season tickets and then not attending. 

These empty seats are kid STs..

Ah, im back at school then!!

I see 3 yes votes. Welcome Jon, Steve and Brian to the forum!

Are sky bet likely to give odds on what time the first “dont know what you’re doing” chant is recorded on Sat?

Well that shall be when he takes Sykes and/or Knight off again.

Im looking forward to our head coach, who has no prior experience of the championship, telling us all about how tough a league it is again after the game. 
Blokes clueless. Takes off our most two influential players when we are well on top and changes the game by killing the momentum. Utter shite. 

We need:

GK, sorry but Max still gives me the heebie jeebies!

Left winger - Bell and Mehmeti are, erm, not very good  

Big No 9/strong pacey forward. 
 

dont think we need much tbh. Theres a lot better movement and forward football than before so we need to improve the quality in forward areas to take advantage.

I’m sure I read a lot of times on here that Bell is quick. I’ve never seen it. 
And today he looked like a slug. 
At times it was like he was running on a treadmill. 
So so slow. 

He isnt fast one bit. Its absolute bollox. And again, it mustnt be said, because hes academy. Lightweight, not pacey, not very good in general. 

Just now, westonred said:

This will upset a lot of people but Bell needs to go out on Loan in Jan he isnt championship ready yet

No no. Hes lcey and beats his full back with ease. . I reckon Matty James would give hima good race ffs. 
Needs a decent spell out of the team as does absolutely sod all ( but hes academy so we cant say that can we!).

Ah well. Atleast being in the top six we arent just 7 points away from the bottom 3, hey big Jon.

The Iain Dowie of football management.

Funny really. The club have probably reduced hours due to lack of footfall. 
However the lack of footfall is due to shite, and very little actual worthwhile stock to buy. 
Quality marketing once again.

Shop has been poor since it opened.

Crap stock, no space, nothing really fresh and seasonal (I'd been all over a decent Xmas jumper).

 

Was in there today. The only xmas jumper was a plain jumper with the smallest gold ‘bristol city’ tag stitched on the front bottom part. Couldve been a m&s jumper with a tag on it for all anyone knew. 
Seemed quite a lot of shirts in tbf, bought some for my boys. But theyre 4&7 and no nothing about shite quality so theyll be just fine.

Budget was maxed out in August wasn’t it?

Shouldn’t be any signings without people leaving.

I dont believe this for a minute. SL has always backed new managers too so im sure we’ll see 2-4 signings in Jan. 

Then the ‘budget is maxed’ comments will be like the departure of Nige, all lies!

And are they as worthless as they seem?!

20,424. Looked about 15,000 on the telebox!

Glad i didnt bother wasting my time going and listening to the **** sat behind me all game and sat and ‘enjoyed’ it on the telebox.

Got everything we deserved. Cant finish our dinner Nd that 2nd half was just pedestrian and slow and utter garbage.

A weird set of results today mean that if we win by two tomorrow we go seventh!

Gotta make the most of these chances

Poor from Conway there 

Cant wait for Wells to be fit. Conway not up to it presently.

He will absolutely manage in the premier league, probably not with us, but I’m convinced after that that he will. Extremely clear communicator, obviously a really talented coach. Anyone who puts him & LJ in the same bracket is crazy. 

I hope we get a good sell on clause for him then from Bournemouth.
