We have to remember that he and other new signings are still ‘bedding in’ to LJs style and ot course settling in in the area but I saw enough to convince me that he’ll get better and better as the games go by. It wasn’t down to Watkins that City started to misplace passes....that was largely down to Pack who had a ‘mare today. The bloody referee didn’t help by getting in the way................. A first half mare, but got a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is surely as dominant a 2nd half as you will see? Chance after chance and some lovely one touch football. First half we also played well until they scored. Rarely does any team get a 90 minute performance in this league for it to be good for about 65 mins ain’t bad. Yeah - I was baffled by that appraisal too. Second half we were excellent. There were other chances too - decent stop from Taylor shot. Couple of opportunities for a fifth at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im certain that Pack realised himself that he was having a poor game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think our MotM had that great a first touch today either, especially first half - everyone is being really tough on a player who is taking time to bed in. There was enough strength and good touches (even without the goal) to make this a ridiculous witch hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Good performance to top off a good run of results and calm the doubters, including me. But will the international break bring about the usual slump in form when we recomence? I hope not. If we can carry on picking up more points than we drop it would be an encouraging sign that LJ is getting it right. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly who was MotM?, because I have no idea, although a couple of weeks ago it was given miraculously to Paterson. Secondly I think you are being over dramatic, it's not a witch hunt, it's exactly what I and many others have witnessed today and in other games, it is our opinion based on what we have seen. As I said earlier I expect and I hope that is better to come, what is wrong with that? * I will concede one thing he has far more steel in his game than said Paterson.

nickolas Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Up The City! said: I think your summary is some what wide of the mark. We started excellently and could have gone 2 or 3 up. They then scored an absolute freak goal that in truth should t have stood. I admit we then didn't play too well most likely due to the shock of conceding such a freak goal plus having loads of dodgy decisions go against us. We finally got back into the game and never looked back. We could have scored 6/7/8/9. Well according to Tony Mowbray the result was cruel, they shouldve been 3up at H/T and we never troubled them.

Well when you only get 2 shots on target and you think you should be 3 up and the opposition have 11 shots on target and score 4 then over 90 mins Mr Mowbray you are going to come out the wrong side of a result but who am I to comment on your view of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport Red Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Some in the Blackburn forum being disrespectful. “These sides?! or you for f..ing real. this is bristol city, an average championship side that might flirt with the idea of play offs at times but fall short and finish around 7th to 12th. jesus christ if we cant compete with bristol city lets give up and go home” better give up and go home then really amazes me people can say things like that after we have tonked them.

cityexile Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Good to see the goals. Thought Pack was well offside on the 4th, but last header was from their player. Think their goalie will feel he could have done better in first and third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJS Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Davefevs said: Their away support is usually decent, and in comparison (not numbers) outweighs their home support. In what way. What do you expect from him in his position, and what do you think he didn’t achieve today? Interested. Didn’t do anything with the ball. No end product apart from his goal. Was slow and very unproductive .Thought Elliason achieved a lot more in the same position. Hopefully he can improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
