JamesBCFC Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Simpson was the only of our defenders who stayed alert after the shot that hit the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Enjoying our performance. Deserved a goal. Playing well - need to keep it going and cut out the mistakes causing goals (Atkinson done too easily and left us exposed). Overall though v positive.

BanburyRed Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Felt City went a little passive after conceding and has taken some time to get that early 1st 10min intensity back. The early Martin miss looks pivotal at mo. Poor goal to concede, Tomas turns sideways instead of square on? Unlucky that deflection off post comes straight back out. HNM good in midfield, looking to drive forward, Pring & Scott (for both so young) look impressive. Pring needs to isolate Fulton now one on one. I'd be slightly concerned by the fact that Swansea can get forward far too easily with 2 or 3 straight passes, and Jay looks a little bemused with ball over the top at LB. Otherwise, positive signs and definitely in this game, next goal crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Feel very strange ; 0 -1 down yet hugely encouraged. Best performance I’ve seen for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfitInMyPocket Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thought Bentley's positioning for the goal was poor, left that whole near-post open to shoot at. Unfortunate to fall back to Piroe for the rebound but just felt if he was more central Piroe might not have gone for that corner, could tell he checked it before he shot. Got to clear the ball in the first place though. We're getting the ball in good areas with Weimann and James but final ball lacking yet again. We're playing alright but just need to be a bit sharper. Worried about Simpson on a yellow with no Vyner on the bench. We can get back into this but still feel like we have a mistake in us and they could punish us.

We’ve had a couple of half chances, certainly nothing clear cut (admittedly I got in 10 mins or so late because of the hoo har outside) I don’t think we deserve to be losing as Swansea haven’t done much, but I don’t think we’ve been particularly dangerous ourselves You are, we’re creating chances, just need something to go our way. Playing better than we did at Reading. A total mess from a throw, 3 or 4 players being dragged into a 6 yd area and then losing it, you tell kids not to do that at U9 level….

Ten shots, four on target. We look fluid going forward and just need better finishing. A great first half performance that deserved more. Lets keep it up and the goals will come.

We've created enough opportunities to be comfortably ahead but are behind to a sloppy goal.

MelksRed Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Agree - playing well - their goal was well taken - we were slowest to react. Bents had a worldie about 6 minutes later. Concern on the left (Bidwell is pulling Simpson all over the place. We lack a clinical finish - plenty of opportunity.....which only knocks a handful of times a game....need to find the net.....

Great save by bents but kalas and Atkinson looked so far apart and kalas very deep. Would like to see the goal replay, looked too easy, again. Swansea players falling over at the slightest touch, and the ref is dreadful. Being conned every time Atmosphere is awful. I know the players need to inspire but we’ve been away for 18 months, it’s a little embarrassing to be honest Are you here at the Gate?....the atmosphere is the opposite of awful, in fact it's excellent ?

keflav Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 What a frustrating first half the best football I have seen us play for so e time, but we are 1nil down in typical city fashion. We to be fair are not having the run of the ball but we desperately need some to play down the centre up front, if we did we would not be losing this game. Hope we play the same second half but take our chances, perhaps we'll down the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both FB areas they are trying to exploit but Dasilva is doing ok. Simpson is doing his best but his legs have gone, we need a RB in this window in my opinion as this is our problem area The rest of the players are giving it a go and we don’t look to bad but need to take our chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
