Popular Post Davefevs Posted August 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 …off an running after two defeats Defended resolutely if a bit deep at times. Vyner had a good game, Conway very good, should’ve sealed the 3 points with his 6 yard header. His pace at times was a surprise to me, I knew he had some, but he’s gained an extra yard. A few quiet performances, but stuck at it. Will give confidence that we didn’t concede and another ref determined to make it harder for us. How he didn’t red card Bennett is a disgrace. Violent conduct…full stop….red card. Their manager knew it, hence subbed off at h-t. 33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I want to feel pleased with a point, but can’t help but feel disappointed that another winning position was let slip. And that a dominant first 30-45 minutes was once again (perhaps we should expect it now) not enough to see us gain the edge in the match. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) This is going to be another season where conceding last minute goals and throwing away leads will be the norm. We should celebrate our first point of the season, and be grateful that we held on till the end. If people want to see regular wins then Bristol City aren’t the team to support. That’s not what we do. Edited August 13, 2022 by Wanderingred 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, in 3 games this season we’ve been in a winning position. That possible 9 points has ended with just 1. That’s not very promising. But I’m not gonna jerk my knee at the moment and will watch intently for progress. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams got up & as he walked away Bennett (still on the floor) kicked him, as clear a red card as you will see. Bennett has always been a nasty piece of work, famously stamped on Sane when at Cardiff. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that is fair about knee jerk but the manner of the dropped points is a recurring theme. You can see the goals coming every time. Not really been a lack of luck defending. We invite pressure and fall into a pattern of get overrun on wings, cross come in and creates calamity, clear it as far as we can and repeat of concede pump one up to martin from kickoff which does not stick and back at us. It is a really frustrating watch and we do not change anything tactically to combat it. It was such a positive build up to the season with our early business and good preseason. That has disappeared in 3 weeks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Two unbeaten. Andi on fire. Getting the goals shipped average down, slowly. We equalise today and draw 1:1 and it'd feel different. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, horrible git. I remember seeing the still photo. Studs up from the side about half way between Sane`s knee and ankle. You could see his lower leg bend. As bad a leg breaker as you`ll ever see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure the first one on Conway was a pen (just like Hull’s wasn’t…yet was given ), but the second one was. Just because he gets a shot away should make no difference. Awful challenge by Whatmough. It just makes every result harder to attain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked very sharp and very quick. Should give his confidence a huge boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 If we beat Luton we can say that the tide has turned with three unbeaten and four points from 6 in the league.

It's completely unfair that we had to struggle in 30+ temperatures, whilst Wigan players didn't - and as for us having to play in midweek, whilst Wigan were granted a bye into the next round is a shocking endightment of the football league hierarchy......
