fanjita Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I know it doesn’t make a jot of difference now but wasn’t the penalty against the “rules” now? I thought the run up and taking the kick had to be one continuous movement, not the case here, Afobe stoped just prior to the kick. 1 Quote Link to comment

Great battling performance in the second half what an impact HNM had on the game and well played Andi for finishing off the chances... Good to get the winning feeling again. But we really do need the level of second half performance more often, thought towler looked way out of his depth (unfortunately) need to get the players all playing and cut out the silly mistakes... Papering over cracks maybe to a degree but a much better level of performance in the last 2 games... So did Scott when he got hooked after half an hour earlier in the season but he’s a starter now. Young un’s take different timescales for the penny to drop. 2 Quote Link to comment

Bedred31 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 3 points- absolutely precious, as this is assuredly a relegation scrap. Brilliant comeback and result. Good to win at home as well. Well done NP and the team. 1 Quote Link to comment
Out of his pie crust Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Loves a winner like that ….. goalmouth scramble then into the net. Yeah we might not be as high up the league as some expect but if you were there last 2 games and first half of today and was there when that went in today I guarantee you’d have properly enjoyed it.

Garland-sweden Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 We played well vs QPR and second half today. Now we have players who moves the ball and themselves. Happy to see a structure when we play. This win was important and well deserved, we have many young players who still will be better. Compare to last season think we can have Hope for our Club. Williams soon fit and many players gets better and better. For me Weimann since long is one of our best players. Sooner or later his hard work give results, his 3 goals today shows it. Funny that our topscorers get sticks, last season Fam and this season Weimann. We have to accept that most games last season and this its Been difficault to be a fw in Bristol City. Our team have not been Good enough to play creative football. Last two games have been better and that makes Hope for the future. COYR 14 Quote Link to comment

You may disagree, as is your right to do so. But I'll quite happily have my views, cheers. The conspiracy is all you . Again another one mentioning off field issues . You have made that up . How many ex players have to state what good man manager he is. You’re entitled to a opinion of course but don’t make things up . This don’t play by the rules statement , that’s lies. He actually said the rules apply to everyone . Meaning , even though he’s captain he’ll be dropped if not performing , which he wasn’t. Also if you can’t grasp that we’ve had major problems caused by the previous recruitment policy them I’m lost for words. Pearson has inherited a bloody mess. If you’re looking for a conspiracy theorist have a good look in the mirror . Edited January 2, 2022 by steviestevieneville 18 Quote Link to comment

RedM Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 1 hour ago, billywedlock said: A very hard worked win, great application for such a young side. Never gave up despite a few negative moments . Tried to play better football , not so long ball, trying to pass. Yes it still needs much work, but we are building and going in the right direction. Well done everyone, well done the fans at the ground you kept the positive support going despite the set backs. Exactly. The youngsters are being appreciated by the fans who have more patience with them than say Wells and Palmer. Yes they are work in progress and there will be some mistakes whilst they are learning but they have been a breath of fresh air compared with the stale football we have previously witnessed. I don’t think we will go down this season and playoffs aren’t going to be for us either, but if we can bed in these youngsters further maybe, just maybe, we can ‘hit the ground running’ next season. After all that’s what they have been telling us for years. 7 1 Quote Link to comment

Midlands Robin Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Watched the first half on Sky and then had to go out so missed the second half. In the first half we really struggled to find space around the park. Millwall pressed us hard. I feel sorry for Towler as he struggled against a tough, experienced team. Perhaps this wasn't the game to throw him in for. He's going to need an arm around his shoulder. Make no mistake though, this was a massive 3 points. Not every match is the same but at our current points per game ratio (1.2) we are set to finish on 55 points. COYR Quote Link to comment

I’m allowed to be unhappy with what I watch and still happy we won If you go (which I will wager you don't) to football for the "artistry" then you're following the wrong club.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Loved the second half today. A proper game of football. My boy’s 11 now, been coming since 2018 and we’ve had so little to get excited about in that time. We’re not there every week but that was by far the most he’s enjoyed a game. 9 5 Quote Link to comment

Things you learn. Never knowingly ever seen this one applied I think ”Additional time is allowed for a penalty kick to be taken and completed at the end of each half of the match or extra time. When additional time is allowed, the penalty kick is completed when, after the kick has been taken, the ball stops moving, goes out of play, is played by any player (including the kicker) other than the defending goalkeeper, or the referee stops play for an offence by the kicker or the kicker's team.” You get a penalty kick in the last second. Ref says he is allowing extra time for the kick; same rules as a penalty shoot out. Penalty is saved but scored on the re bound, ref correctly disallows it. Not sure many fans would follow that. Equally, I have seen once players go to half time straight from a successful penalty kick, with no restart. I guess the same rule was being applied. 1 Quote Link to comment

LoyalRed Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 2 hours ago, tin said: And that counter attack sums up Semenyo. Weimann tells him to hold his run to stay onside so that AS has a clear run in on goal. He doesn’t look, doesn’t get it, and gets flagged offside. That should be 4-2. Great opportunity spurned and AW rightly has a go at him. I thought he was onside and just needed a quick pass which Weimann opted against and took the ball to the right, it’s about being clinical and passing it straight away. 16 minutes ago, Sir Colby-Tit said: Well, this is awkward Shouldn’t be conceding 2 at home, makes it difficult there I said it Quote Link to comment

He made it clear he wasn’t going to celebrate after his goal and then did a kind of half apology to the South Stand. Got a fair bit of applause from those around me. Thought that was nice touch all round. He’s a classy guy, although he did get booked for dissent in second half! 1 Quote Link to comment

Also nice to see our players such as Kalas and Max make a point of going up to him at the end of the match. 4 Quote Link to comment
