Without being overly dramatic, there is a losers mentality. It is a mental thing, it needs addressing.

Been here for decades.

We’ve had loads of opportunities since the mid eighties amd not once did we back ourselves properly. We simply felt the zenith was simply getting back to division 2

[BCFCGav]

No need to blow this out of proportion. The late goals need addressing but I’m still seeing better performances than last year. Early, early days in the Pearson revolution.

I see Swansea having appointed a progressive young manager won 4-0 at Reading, why oh why don’t our club have the imagination to appoint someone like that 

They lost at the weekend.

The parallels between watching england and city are clear,,, if theres a way to **** it up, both will find it.

I'm not sure there are many parallels between in the last 3 years World Cup semi finalists, Nations League semi finalists and Euros runners up and the nonsense representing this club each week tbh. 

[RedRock]

We knew we had a squad of mentally and physically weak players but, it’s basics, drilling (even our limited) players to seeing games out in injury time shouldn’t be a massive ask. 

Jesz.

Yeah, should probably get rid of him, that'll sort it...

He's improved a lot of things so far

[Alan Dicks]

A draw v a poor Blackpool team at home.

A defeat at 4th Div FGR

Be prepared for a season long relegation battle.

This is what kind of worries me a bit. Ok I thought performance was fine on Saturday, but to now concede late goals in 2 successive games - it screams of poor mentality

[Boston Red]

In the last 30 years City usually only get five or six years in the second tier before the club gets relegated and has to re-set. We wasted four years under Johnson selling all our best players and wasting the money on bad signings, and now a South exit from the Championship is looking more likely than a North exit.

Blackpool were probably the worst team we've played in the championship. 

We still couldn't win..! 

Not even close to the worst and I think you know that really.

Agree 100%. There was a lot of dross here and rot had set in. Still going to take more time but players need to toughen up and quick. A team that was just promoted from L1 and a L2 side. Doesn’t bode well.

Our reserve team lost on pens seriously get a grip everyone.

 

"Our reserve team"  - featuring our most expensive player and two players who featured for their countries in the Euros.

The fact that an academy player getting his first start was our best performer is deeply concerning.

The team we put out there probably cost 30 times more than the whole FGR squad.

We should have pissed it. That we didn't is worrying.

[Lack of Action Man]

I saw we were 2-1 up on BBC sport so put Netflix on. 
 

Have only now seen that we have in fact lost this match. 
 

What the actual ****?

You mean like Lee Johnson?

[old_eastender]

Janneh surely done enough to at least be on the bench for Saturday... one positive

Shame we couldn't play against ourselves 

[Lympsham Red]

I can’t believe people are saying that because we lost to FGR in the Mickey Mouse Cup we’re going to get relegated and Pearson has failed. 

Yes it’s a shit performance and Saturday was shit too, but there’s 45 matches to go and no one was expecting immediate success and promotion were they?

If anyone can convert this lot into challengers it’s Pearson, he’s done it before. Unlike Johnson, Cotterill, SOD, McInness..

Agree the result was frustrating, but look at the performance. It was the first time in forever that we've created multiple good chances and have deserved to win a game. Shame to drop the points, but a clear improvement on last season IMO.

(and I'll certainly agree that Blackpool are the worst team we've played in the Championship this season )

[RUSSEL85]

I feel guilty that I don’t really care anymore, but I want to so badly. 

[WolfOfWestStreet]

We've just lost to a vegan village who's population you could fit in the Dolman Stand. 

What a time to be alive. 

[YattonCity]

It sucks true. But I have a feeling we’ll win on Saturday and this result will be quickly forgotten

Well they are the worst team we've played in the league this season.

Would be 1-1 

90+4 BCFC A 

90+5 BCFC B

Still would’ve came second. 

[Poset Red]

Purchased a season ticket at the last moment with the hope this season may be ok, couldn’t go Saturday as I was isolating so listened on radio Bristol as I did tonight. Can’t help but think I may have wasted my money, I know it’s knee jerk but I’m absolutely gutted!!

[Jerseybean]

Disappointing result and gutted by JW injury. Just off to walk the dog, will be sure to hold onto the lead!

It would probably be an awful 0-0 with no shots on target
