The Official Ipswich Town v Bristol City Match Day Thread

[ten minutes of rough]

Feels like a defeat in truth, but in the cold light of day, I would have taken a point at 3pm.

[Berts city]

Good point that. Well done city.

[MichaelRobartes]

Annoying to concede late but not a bad point.

[screech]

A good point that, pity we conceded so late and yet again, shipped 2 goals but, that's a tough place to go.

 

[cityexile]

Did not think at the start of the day I would be disappointed with the draw. Concerning we still let in 2, but an excellent point.

[Clevedon Red]

Good point away, only way is up now.

[kevinmabbuttshair]

Good point but conceding just over 2 goals a game spells trouble

[samo II]

I'd have been happy with a point pre-game, so that's a good start to what hopefully is an improvement in our fortunes.

Still concerned at our inability to keep out goals, and quite what is going on with our bench; fancy it might be a sign to the board that SC needs some backing, perhaps?

[Cider red]

Good point. but we cant keep throwing points away and conceding 2+ goals per game. Its why were bottom I suppose.

[Numero Uno]

Five points from five away games when you look at who we have played is decent form. One point from four home games is dismal and that is where Cotterill has to come up with a solution. So not bothered that we are bottom tonight after that result.

[Alex_BCFC]

Point gained if we beat MK Dons next week.

[JoeAman08]

Before the game I would've taken a point but considering we were up with less than 5 minutes remaining, I think it hurts. Maybe tomorrow the lads can look back and say we played well but today it hurts. 

Again badically no subs used or used much too late. Sure we could've used fresh legs. I know Pack and Wilbs are tall and can help in the box defensively but we were already quite big back there. An away point is good but considering all things should've had 3.

must win at home to MK dons

[old_eastender]

As others have said would have taken a draw today, but a bit gutting to miss out on all 3 points, rock bottom now.

Shame Cotts didn't sub Wilbs for fresh legs while we were still ahead.

[ten minutes of rough]

2-2

Do me a favour, just do anything else on match day, but stay away from here, you seem to be the first bearer of bad news, always.

[Garland-sweden]

Offcause when 2-1 we want all the Points. However one is ok. Now we must start win at home. Well done City. We were one down so its ok. Coyr

[HoldenBall]

Must win next week.

[cityexile]

Bottom three look familiar.

One straw in the wind is at a quick look we have only played two of the current bottom ten. 

[The dastardly red]

Not away at ippers it isn't, more so that we do most games

Got to be honest, I don't share in the mass moaning but I think Cotterill is being a right Diva with this 6 on the bench b0ll0ck$. We were amateur enough as it was in our pre-season and recruitment full stop but this type of thing just makes us look like a Sunday Pub outfit. We must be the only professional football club in England that cannot fill a bench - except we can because we could stick an Under 21 on there (scrap the Academy if NONE of them are up to it, simple as that).

Please learn how to write in sentences. 

 

"Kodjia got the second"

 

re read your post. 

no I wrote it like that on purpose. You were able to decipher it so what's the problem? I didn't know this was an English lesson teacher, please forgive me. ******* knob

[oldstandrobin]

The 3 that came up are in the bottom 3 no great surprise but we are playing football and will kick on yet.

very ironic but I still think that as time goes on we will settle and our form will come through as we ARE playing football, different to when we were last in the Championship.

[TNBT]

Gutted we only drew but would took that before the start so can't grumble, think Cotts might need to go Spec-savers if everyone else can see Wilbs was tired but he can't :laugh: his subbing does baffle me or lack of it.

[RumRed]

Whats the point of filling the bench just for the sake of it ? And why is the club amateur ?

It used to be five on the bench - don't know why they changed it to seven, seems ott to me.

Six is more than enough.

2-2 draw at Ipswich, 6 on the bench doesn't appear to make any difference at all.

But you and others have to find something to moan at I suppose.

We have space so why not give the youngsters match day experience?  Smacks of dummy throwing to be honest.

If you have a 7th you can use it to give a young starlet an experience of first team away games, if you have 7 it means that you can effectively cover every single position and then some. It simply decreases the chances of having to play people out of position. Why in any world would you not have 7 players on the bench? Its Cotts making a point that has already been made. Lloyd Kelly would've been a nice person to have on the bench, he can cover Baker and Bryan.

Grow up and read the post properly you big Jessie.

It's sad that you have to explain this to some people.

7 players gives you 7 options to change things; it's something the opposition have at their disposal, so why limit and deny ourselves that?

We've got a good point today; no question, and while I don't share the idea that a 6 person bench is in any way making us look amateur, it is more than just not bothering to fill it - it limits SC's options, and even if he rarely changes his team's, he doesn't tend to run with a cut-size bench, so I think this is a message.

[Numero Uno]

 

You're a moaner pal, nothing more than that.

Club amateur, Cotterill a diva etc etc etc.

I think its you that needs to grow up, I'd stop the dummy spitting if I were you - makes you look a bit stupid.

 

Whatever Clever Clogs, you are the one with the 15K of posts on this forum, all positive of course.

[kevinmabbuttshair]

Ooops, use of the word pal clearly meant in an aggressive manner would suggest that it maybe someone else who is spitting the dummy

[Aizoon]

More moaning on here than your bog standard average ******* mother in law.

And another thing...
