Good work Curr.

Pathetic performance...some questions to be answered by many

This has been going on so long I'm not even sure what the questions are any more. But sure as hell nobody at the club seems to have the answers.

[foghornred]

Bit like when Cotrill was in charge before he left we kept letting in late goals and yet again we let a lead slip away.

Bristol city are becoming a bit of a joke we are a club in crisis and Pearson appears to have improved nothing

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

Mikey mouse cup who cares.

I care. I don’t give two whatever’s about this cup, but we need a win.this is worse than embarrassing, it’s getting dire

[pl00peh91]

Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the strength of our squad unfortunately. I remember in our semi final season we won the first game 5-0....

[BUTOR]

Ah well. Difficult job for anyone to solve this mess. Young players getting experience. Hopefully NP will improve his substitutions but never expected anything more than a struggle. Keeping us up is surely going to become the main target in the coming weeks

Best to just sit back and not get too invested.

The mess that was allowed to fester over the last 3 years is not going to solved in a season.

Exactly how I feel. Pearson has a tough job. Can't see much point in weighing into him or anyone else in the current regime trying to turn the club around. They've been handed a poisoned chalice. I feel reasonably confident they will come good...but conceding last minute goals is soul destroying.

[The Original OTIB]

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

[Hocca]

Enough of the mr nice guy act Nigel get stuck into these bunch of fairies. No backbone on any of em pathetic result. Relegation battle this season with this current crop of shite

[Mr Hankey]

Not too bothered as its just a bit of a meh competion, but i am beginning to become concerned with Pearsons current win record. Very eary days in the season, but seems to remind a bit of SOD’s reign from when he took over towards the end of the previous season many moons ago. Hopefully this will change soon

Or GJ before he went we kept letting in late goals all over the place.

I'm fairly certain we conceded an equaliser right at the end of that one too?

Quite simply I have no idea if Pearson will save the day.

I do know that Lansdown, Ashton and Johnson fostered and nurtured this mess over the last 3.

Aim your anger solely at them.

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

A reserve team containing three players who, between them, cost well over £10m.  We’re not talking about a bunch of untried kids here…

[Hampshire reds]

why did our most experienced player kalas not take a pen. fair play to the kids for taking one. we need a couple of signings asap

[Robin101]

Ah Jesus - I’m actually so bored of Bristol City just being a bit crap. 

Not annoyed, just bored. Better see some green shoots soon.

[Super]

We are so weak its laughable.

I thought we looked significantly better against Blackpool than we did for the last few months of Holden's reign 

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

We still couldn't win..!

Knocked out by FGR, Jesus wept this is low. 

3 Internationals in the starting line up, another lead squandered in added time. It is a worry for the club. 

[TV Tom]

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

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

Maybe so but the mental weakness seems to pervade the whole squad and has done for a long time. No sign yet that it is likely to change any time soon.

Turning this club around is like turning a cruise liner around. Going to take some time.
