Numero Uno Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 8 minutes ago, Shaun Taylor said: It's always interesting to take a step back and think were you beaten by better individuals or is it down to players not trying, tactics or just unlucky on the day. Repeat the process after every defeat and you normally see a pattern to base your opinion on whether the players individually aren't good enough or if it's down to lack of confidence or the manager. Today was poor defending on the day compounded in my opinion by going gung ho in the wing back areas with two 18 year old kids. Whereas against derby we defended the game very comfortably. Attacking wise we are improving and should have scored four or five today. I'm not seeing particular patterns, I am seeing inexperienced players (could be age or the level we play at) playing well one week, not so well the next. The higher levels you play the more mistakes get punished - see Leeds tonight, it was brutal what Arsenal did to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely sounds like you are work in progress and maybe a couple of older experiences heads are what's needed to help out the younger players.

If Joe WIlliams gets fit (this will start a few off) we will be fine. I think we need to bring a couple in for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely amazed there was aggro as most of the ground sit on their ass in silence all game. Teams love playing here. Too true, and to think what it used to be like. I have mates from a few different clubs who say that Ashton Gate/Bristol City Away was one of the scariest away days they attended. Unfortunately now, the whole experience is a sanitised Disney World day out, its no wonder the players play with so little bite and enthusiasm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet Stoke fans were saying a few weeks back how the were impressed with the vocal support from City fans although I do agree that quite often it is piss poor.

If it was the same match, and I suspect it might well be, Frank Worthington spent almost the entire warm up juggling with the ball and performing numerous tricks. I was in the Open End and remember being totally enthralled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly f*****g Zulu is it. You’re a bunch of bedwetting old farts on here, honestly. What a great defence! Do you think that might stop a fine and/or playing behind closed doors?

cityloyal473 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Just watched the highlights - some of our defending is beyond comical. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Total shots 17 hudd 11 Shots on target 6 a piece City 8 off target Passes City 408 hudd 351 We created more it seems. I just watched the highlights or were they the low lights. The goals we conceded were poor and almost like school boy defence stuff. Apart from a great start, a very god penalty save by Bents and Massengo coming close a couple of times our defence and what it seemed like some players just giving up over all it has too go down as a frustrating performance.

Garland-sweden Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 We scored 4 goals in two games and only one point. The defence dont work. Derby, Barnsley and Posh in the relegationzone. Think we are better than them and play in this leauge next season. Hope we can get some or one defender in January. Baker is missing.

Yeah, laid on the ground on a sheepskin coat with a scantily clad young lady, a fag and a Babysham, whilst reading the Racing Post, as I remember it. Oh, and his E type Jag parked between the Dolman and the Park end. That was football in the 60s/70s for you ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did rather lose their (collective) heads in the last 10 minutes. I gotta say, I don't think the long break helped though. Unfocused things.
