Eddie Notgetinya Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 They really seem to be loving Blackburn but they weren’t that good were they!? Yes they played some quick sharp football in the attacking thirds but they didn’t score and they didn’t really force Bentley into any stunning saves. I thought we matched them up pretty well, and let’s not forget this is far from our first XI. Neither side deserved to lose but we took our chance and the points. Feel we deserve far more credit than we’ve got so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 The co commentator thinks they’re brilliant and is miffed we beat them. He had them down as the best team in the division. With shooting like that, I don’t think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I know the collective on OTIB hate xG, but we have a higher xG tonight than Blackburn. It was close, but ours was higher, so if anyone deserved to win, on that basis, you'd say us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Sky talked them up like they were the most potent striking force the Championship has ever seen. No wonder that Armstrong has 15 goals or whatever this season. If he plays like that every week he must have had 250 shots so far. The lads Nyambe and Rothwell were very very good mind. Good three points that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the commentary was about Northants. It was as if Bristol did not exist. Lovely feeling just like tonight when Bris won with a last minute penalty. Most of the sport media do not consider Bristol teams merit any positive remarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I find it fascinating that we tend to get a weekly thread where people claim everyone is biased against us, I think some hang on every word from the commentators and pundits.

Kodjias Wrist Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Well Morrison said we didn't look like a football team after watching our last two games and echoes what many have said on here and on opposition forum boards. Individual performances helping us grind this out atm and I hope we will click soon as a unit or when Mawson , Baker, Williams and Walsh etc are ready to play we could have a bit more swagger about us.

There's nuance to the game and their shots weren't particularly dangerous tonight. Not sure of your view on xG but as someone further up mentioned we outstripped them on both raw xG and on xG per shot. We were more efficient - and that's been a trait of ours for the past 18 months or so. But still, 7 shots on target, of whatever quality, can't be dismissed as poor shooting. I guess in a way I'm praising our performance tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the point. It's patronising, we don't like being patronised. We get it, Blackburn are the ex Premier League club and we aren't so it doesn't matter if we're good or bad, nothing will change. The fact they gave Wells MOTM tonight was laughable , and were purring over Harvey Elliott's passes, was confused as to what passes they were quite talking about.

I actually think we get a fair amount of attention and positive coverage these days from Sky and their pundits. Especially compared to 10+ years ago when we rarely got taken seriously, our play off final season, we were pretty much written off right up until the final.

RobArnold10 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Yeah, have to say it’s only a few weeks removed when they were so far up our backsides it was almost nauseating. Think the OP and others are quick to forget that. For what it’s worth I think we got decent praise tonight, recognised that we are a bit patchwork and yet are in the top six. Suggestion that we were worth the draw but perhaps not the win, for me there’s tonnes of games like that in this division but nothing to dwell on. Only thing I didn’t get was Wells MOTM. Not for me by a long way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good three points that. They also talked up Harvey Elliott like he was the second coming FFS. Yes he is 17, yes he is a good player but practically knocking one out about him because he asked for a 5 yard pass back to him from older player is a bit much for me.
