East Londoner Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I’ve seen a lot on here since the Derby defeat about a lack of winning mentality, but honestly i can’t remember a season where we’ve won so many points and games coming from behind. Last night may have been dire until the penalty save but it showed guts and character which we haven’t always shown down the years. So even if we do miss out it shows we’re not far away and besides we never seem to beat Leeds anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Surely the good teams that get there are rarely behind though. Yes it is good that we bounce back but surely the main point is we keep having to try and overcome a deficit and no team is getting promoted with a -1 handicap most games: particularly as the handicap tends to commence from 20 to 50 minutes into the game.

When you’re losing you have no choice but to go for it. I think we’ve been good this year and are learning how to manage games better there is a more cautious approach where we don’t go ‘ balls out ‘ from the off which often saw us too open at the back and /or running out of steam at 70 minutes. However there needs to be a balance and I believe we’re getting there. We are growing up as a Championship club . Whatever happens tonight and this weekend it has been a generally positive season and leaves me looking forward to the next thrilling installment of the Bristol City saga. Well done to all at the club and the Red Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 We have managed games much better this season. We have only let in 4 goals all season in the last 15 minutes of games, the best in the league, which proves we are seeing games out much better.

I haven’t studied the detail of this, so maybe wrong, but I’d think Norwich have come from behind a few times, they’ve certainly conceded a few, and also made a habit of getting late goals this season. Granted they have more goals in them than we do and that dictates style. They set out to score more than they let in. We set out not to let any in and score 1!

Port Said Red Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Perhaps we should take the Danny Blanchflower approach “We aim to equalise before the other team score. We should get our retaliation in first.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just found one from Nov this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 It shows a great spirit tbh. We've gained a lot more this season than last season that's for sure. Maybe the stats will prove otherwise but it definitely feels that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
