JBFC II Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Probably the most undeserved win I've seen in a rugby game for a while, Bristol were pathetic first half after the try and despite improving slightly in the 2nd there were still tonnes of errors that have to be ironed out if we want to win the league, hopefully it's because it's the first game of the season but improvements are definitely needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Two words? Extremely unconvincing. We got lucky, not one bit of doubt. When Hartbury great position to get a try they knocked on. Plus they missed a conversion that just lacked the power- after their first try. These happened at key moments. Can understand a slow start v a seasoned Championship side...different style of play etc. However...this is a ******* college side we scraped by against??

Harbury played excellently and on that basis could get top 4 but they have just been promoted from a part time league whereas Bristol have a wage bill of 6.5 million a year.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I thought I would take a look on here and see what you all thought about today's game, well it looks like pretty much the same as me. No flow to the game, I think they did a number on us perhaps? They set up to disrupt our play and it was their 'cup final' type of game, and to be fair with the help of the ref I thought for a while it might be their day. We got to be a hell of a lot quicker, sharper and have a better game plan than that. It was the rugby equilivelent of the Millwall game. Yesterday I was sat in the warm sunshine watching a quilte entertaining game of football at QPR, today I was cold, wet and bored at AG. Hartpury seemed to have a load of fans there today in the 7400 ish crowd, take them away and the fan base looks very sparse and at those prices I can understand why.

Kid in the Riot Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Alarm bells ringing already. Hartpury are semi pro and only train 3 morning's a week and it was two tries each today. Only the boot of Madigan won it for Bristol. Same story as has been the case for many years Bristol just make way too many errors. Handling errors, giving away penalties etc Pat Lam I hope is under no illusions as to the size of task that lies ahead after that today. I'm fairness, I think I read that Hartpury were unbeaten in league competition for the last 2 years prior today. So they have a winning mentality whereas Bristol are very much used to losing. Tough game at Cornish Pirates next weekend now. We need to keep finding ways to win whilst the squad gels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed there was THAT many.......watched a bit on the box (to see how our pitch held up), it looked empty!' How small must the Minimal be when a Sag sized crowd looks lost at AG ?

CyderInACan Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Not the start to the season most people expected! Most games will see us having to cope with the other side having a "cup final" mentality but that's no excuse. Poor kicking, sloppy interplay and awful lineouts made it a poor spectacle. Definitely need to gel together as a team more and quickly otherwise confidence will spiral downwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How small must the Minimal be when a Sag sized crowd looks lost at AG ? Exactly what we said about teams like the Gas playing football to that sized crowd week in week out. I was sat corner of South Stand and Lansdown so couldn't see how full Lansdown was or what corporate boxes were being used but we had a whole row to ourselves and the one behind was empty. The Heinekein Lounge wasn't being used and at least one block of turnstiles were not open at the Winterstoke Road enterance. These photos were taken before the end of the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Nice picture of the South Stand @RedM I can see myself As for the game, the ref was awful, the atmosphere was flat, the crowd sparse and Bristol's performance was poor. Not a great start to the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some Gloucester youth players playing for them but they are a club in their own right, they had 4 ex Bristol players, none of whom are from Gloucester playing for them yesterday for instance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Lucky to come away with the full haul of 5pts. Don't think the weather helped by the sounds of it mind.

We need cortes and tuohy to come back asap, the scrum has been a big problem in the first two games, the back 3 look excellent though, Luatua was outstanding Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Need to sort things out asap with Bedford away in a couple of weeks. Gotta be looking to pump Richmond this weekend though! For anyone interested, tickets for the home game versus London Scottish on Saturday 7 October are all £10.

Only in the latter part of the 2nd half did Bristol get a grip on the game. For long periods neither side looked like scoring. The game was a lot closer than the scoreline reads, seems an odd statement for such a one sided scoreline but one sided it wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Let’s not underestimate how important this weekend’s game is mind. It’s not turning out as Chris Booy thought it would! with the score at 0-0 about 5 mins before the break on Sunday I was worried. A good 2nd half though for another BP win. Some tough games on the horizon with Bedford and Ealing up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Bristol 40-21 up at Bedford. Six tries scored but three conceded. Remind you of the last time they were in the Championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
