If ever a game was crying out for Fam to come on, he can win it for us with a goal and he's one if our best set piece/high ball defenders

It was open play though, more than likely he's not in Callum's position for that ball at that time so its going to be a midfielder/defender so largely irrelevant as if we'd cleared that ball we'd have won and been the correct decision.

Or 3-1 if Pato had tapped the ball across to Semenyo for an open net (all events after that would have been different, and even if the penalty still happened 3-2)

Yeah or the Wells touch from the header from Martin, or the Martin header where he climbs over the defender and has a chance to score. etc etc

Arguably a free kick. But we all know free kicks are given for a lot less than pens. 

If pens were the given like free kicks are then there would be loads of them every game when defenders nudge a player, hold them, go into them when heading the ball.

Agree with you about how people talk about him.

Misjudged - thinking he could get there 

Realises too late he’s not in the race , so turns to protect himself , which makes a late challenge look even worse, and clatters the Barnsley player a good moment after the ball has gone

Its a clear foul IMHO

Agree, mate. Probably a confidence one. Yes, there's a player in there, and he's a confidence player.

Agreed, but should have been pretty confident with what he did when he came on. Ran well, drew two bookings, looked confident, makes you wonder why if he is a confidence player he makes bad decisions?

Cringeworthy

Its mad isn't it? We are top of league, playing as well as we have in ages. COD looked pretty good when he came on - like he, along with so many other players, might significantly improve this season.

He made a mistake.. a costly one.. and the rage gates open. Despite the overall situation being so promising and COD looking like he might be a real asset. 

There doesn't have to be a bogeyman everytime we drop points.

I don’t see how anyone can honestly think that’s not a foul? Nailed on. 

A real costly lack of concentration by COD. So stupid. Literally no need. A shame as he actually did well when he came on but you just can’t defend that.

We were by far the better side second half and didn’t deserve that.

If he just stood there and watched without making a challenge then he'd get pelters for a lack of effort and commitment. 

He was unlucky,  was it even a clear cut pen in terms of position? 

Either you want players to fully commit and accept these things happen sometimes

Or 

You allow those headers to go unchallenged due to a player not giving their all. You can't have it both ways, just not how it works.

There tends to be a bogeyman even when we win.

I said high balls too, plus I think in the last seconds of the game that's exactly where Fam would have been.

But I was thinking Fam should be on the pitch long before the goal, instead of Semenyo, think we'd have created a 3rd

I thought it was going to be Fam for Martin tbh, don't think Semenyo did badly alone though allowing the 2 of Zak and Tyreeq in front of the defence, didn't manage to play through them.

Holden says it was a foul. Not sure what those saying it wasn’t are seeing

You can be delighted about how the season is going and how the club is currently being run while also thinking that a certain player just isn’t up to it and has never been so.

Agreed but the vitriol is a bit pathetic

Ignoring what he did today, I still don't see where he fits in. We don't use wingers, he isn't going to get games in midfield so he is going to get occasional sub appearances.

Dean reckons he can play left wing back but assuming Dasilva isn't injured long term he is third choice there.

So what is he for?

There are 2 reasons why he is here in my eyes,nobody wants to buy him or Holden like LJ see something we don’t see

In all honesty, I suspect the former. He's obviously down the pecking order at left wing back and I suspect he will be in midfield once Walsh and Williams come in.

In a way I feel for him. Any player can make a rash challenge and, whilst daft, it is also one of these things where, if another player had done it, we'd just see it as rotten luck. But I suspect O'Dowda is not going to get too many chances this season so he really needs to put performances in when he does, both to get fans onside and to impress the manager. This is an absolutely catastrophic impression for him to make and is going to set him back further.  Which is frustrating because, from a sheer business-minded view, we really could do with him either proving his worth here or proving he might have worth to somebody else.

As I’ve said previously; I’m delighted with how we are doing. One highlight is seeing new players like Bakinson come through and excel, and how we are using these players instead of odd loan signings. It is a sign of how far we have come and I doubt today’s result will have any significant impact in the grand scheme of things.

However for me COD has has numerous chances, has not developed and now it seems that we aren’t overpaying him too, so nobody wants to take him.

I always want any negative opinion I hold about this club or any of its players to be proven as false and moronic but O’Dowda as far as I’m concerned is a negative opinion of mine that he unfortunately proven to be correct.

Is this a 'thing' now? We call players out for mistakes, cuz I've seen a lot worse.

I thought it was the perfect substitution today, Pato had done well but COD goes past players and covers the ground just as well. Holds the ball and drifts past defenders, great to bring on later on. He also (usually) defends very well. TBF he probably saved a couple of potential chances before the mistake. He's not the sort to throw himself into people, he mistimed a header and it looked bad because the guy got hurt, and I think the Ref gave the Pen because of that as much as anything. Harsh, but I don't think it was the wrong decision.

COD could be a very important player for us this year, Pato won't play every game so he's an alternative and he brings slightly different things into that role.

If it was the other way round not one person on here would be saying it wasnt a pen.

It gives Andi Weimann a rest....We are Bristol City, we need a scapegoat!

Can some of COD haters tell me what he's done wrong today. Was'nt even a pen. Get a grip

It was a foul and it gave the ref a decision. Odowda was late to a header where the player had no real chance of doing anything with it...Rash, late and not near the ball.. A bad decision To go into it and just a bit like he didnt really want to compete....However s4it happens...We go again Tuesday. If you take that out he played well in his cameo. 

All said and done strange things will happen over a season, hopefully these things even themselves up!
