Sounds like we have started this half strongly.

HT. Given it’s a borderline scratch side, cannot complain that it sounds like we have given it a real go.

It is difficult to tell, but player reactions do often tell you something. Everyone close appealed straight away. Luckily we have VAR so it must be right…

It’s a full blooded appeal for handball you have to say.

For commentary, anywhere in the UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/68049795 Then from the scroll boxes chose radio Bristol, wherever you are in the UK. Sounds like we are struggling in the air from set pieces, but creating chances ourselves.

Creating some good chances it sounds.

1-1. Never in doubt.

There will be extra time if scores are level before it goes to pens.

Yes, but we were really poor today. Clearly they are better than us, but when we have the ball, a bad pass is a bad pass and a poor cross is a poor cross.

FT. Positives. Ipswich are out of the top two. That’s all I got.

Appalling cross from Anis.

Huffing and puffing. It’s not that it looks like we will lose, it’s that the score flatters us and when we have had the ball we have been very poor with it.

In fairness, think it has been more even last 20 or so. Not really in any way dominating them, but whilst only one in it, never know.

Starting to squeeze out the odd chance now.

They were better than us at their place. Gave them a game however. Only hope is their pace drops off.

I mean, they are objectively better than us…but we have not made them break sweat for it yet.

Chasing our tails. Not the team to give the ball away to this often.

Right lads, let’s get going second half…oh.

Steady...he can deserve a pint of cider we chip in for to drown his sorrows after they lose...as a decent poster. Not buying his ‘we are rubbish and will most likely lose’ line however.

Knowing us, we will have signed Mick Lynch, RMT.

As somebody who played goalie, this this this. If the player had smashed it in the corner, we would be moaning quite rightly about switching off, how much time he had to line his shot up with space etc. No way a goal up should he have had that much space with minutes to go. It was a bad error by Max then. His shape was to gather the ball up and he got it wrong. He will know that but if you give a player space to shoot stuff can happen. We would have been delighted with a deflected shot winner a couple of minutes later.

Coventry on a great run. Good point before the game, deserved to win. Incredibly frustrating at the end. Should have, could have. Well played for an unexpected point, but bugger me it’s irritating.

That’s my City. It’s the hope that gets you.

What does it mean when we get it in that net thing? In fairness, deserved. Coventry doing that thing where they do very little other than score goals from the chances they get.

Kind of where we are. Not playing badly but not creating great chances, down the other end, 1-0.
