Most likely. I still have mine.

[maxjak]

Ha!  We told the pheckers.............did they listen?  After six weeks they still screwed it up, it's a great shame that the powers that be have no courage, foresight or ambition.  Still lets roll our sleeves up and move on...........Ha!

As a matter of interest, can you name the convent that you are referring to?

shots 0 

on target 0

Riveting stuff here, about to fall off the edge of my seat!!

And Preston have one of the worst defensive records in the league and we cant even get 1 shot at goal, not even on target, disgraceful

11 players out mate. Not sure what everyone expects? 

 

PLEASE stop using this as an excuse, many playing tonight ARE first choice 

These are still our players yet they are continually inept

Maybe WB aren't the best attacking option to rely on when you have to flog the same two players, two games per week, for weeks on end.

If your wing backs can’t cross the ball, why persist with them?

I know we have a lot of injuries, but at this level you surely need a squad that are knocking on the door ready to start or compete for a starting place.

Think shambles is an extreme description we’re doing out best but something needs to be said about how this squad has been assembled.

How big a squad are you expecting?

We’ve assembled what is a decent squad, not all of them are going to be first team quality as we don’t have the finances for that. No team builds a squad expecting to have 11 players missing

We've got roughly £24m worth of players on that pitch.

We could have the entire acaademy squad injured, I'd expect better than not a single bloody shot or semblance of a style of play in 45 minutes, let alone the last 370+ minutes.

[Globe Trotter]

I will ask again, what is our strategy for scoring a goal...

Rob one from a set piece, hope Wells bundles some half chance in and now it has extended to passing to Hunt and getting him to cross it no matter how wide or deep he is

Really? Really?

Name a stronger strike force available?

[George Rs]

At least if we go down hopefully we can have some shots on target

Can't think of a side worse than us at the moment.

[big dosser]

my  grandson just asked me why dont city shoot grampy,how the bloodyhell do answer that to a 3 year old

[Galway Red]

I'm afraid that Holden, decent bloke and all that, is way, way out of his depth 

[BigTone]

The half time kick about on Hesgoal is better action. We could learn alot from it.

[B1ackbird]

An attempt on goal would be nice...

Only Mawson, Da Silva, Patterson would be classed as absolute starters and you know that but continually blindly make poor excuses

People need to run the channels to give other options. Nobody does that so our attacked are predictable. We sling one in and Preston mop up easily.

It looks like everyone to a man has regressed.

No ideas, no movement, no passion or desire. Stale

We have our best forwards available and midfielders,and defenders 

I guess you’ve forgotten Sessengnon, Baker, Mawson, Dasilva, Williams and Paterson (all of whom would be starting tonight) ?

[George Rs]

If Bristol women’s played Bristol men’s I would generally be on the fence about who would win 

[Garland-sweden]

We have no flow, the whole team looks stress.

Simple. Because we're shitte.

[Redsi2]

What I would give to watch some Danny Wilson football now. We may have failed to get promoted but God we played some good football compared to this.

[Snufflelufagus]

Shall we have a raffle band the unfortunate ones have to attend the next home games?

Quality over quantity, if we had a decent squad they’d surely be able to step up and fill in.

And 5 internationals. 6 if you count Massengo as playing for his age group. It’s absolutely shocking how underprepared they are.
