  1. Ferguson I'm not defending the players anymore. Why should I? When you watch a start like that? Unprofessional. Disorganised. Sloppy. Poor. It takes character to win games. I'm sorry no disrespect to Sam Baldock but he's not a target man. How has he got a free header. Sorry it's not good enough and I'm not defending them anymore. What a load of crap. BBC Radio
  2. I can take losses, relegations, defeats etc. When I come to places like this all I ask is they have a go and give their best. Everyone of those 10 men chased every ball tonight. To see Frank Fielding booed every time he took a kick. To see their forward run after the ball in front of their kop to place the ball down for a goal kick. Then watched Fielding pick the ball up and stroll over to the other side of the goal to take it with huge abuse behind him. They hated Fielding tonight and he didn't care. They all ran their socks off tonight. Bloody awesome. That's all I ever ask boys. Just have a go.
  3. Never stayed in his technical area once. Ran over to get the ball in the last mins from our bench and moaned that we were taking too long for the throw. Ref pointed out Baldock was coming off for a substitution.....
  4. Haven't seen any messages on here yet but I have no voice left. Just applauded them off. That's the most gutsy display by a Bristol City side I've seen for years. They never stopped running all game. Every one of them.
  5. When El Abd came off. Pemberton patted his back. Cotterill stood with his arms folded looking straight past him. Then Started signalling 4 across the line.
  6. Well what can I say. We were far the better side first 20 mins. Even looked like getting a 3rd and Baldock was proving a handful. Peterborough were awful. The cross field balls were flying out and nothing was going right. We were comfortable Then a moment of madness. I didn't see it. I followed the ball but then saw their player lying on the floor holding his face. As soon as I saw the linesman waving his flag I knew we were in trouble. Down to ten men it's been impressive. Cotterill has put them as two banks of four and were giving up the middle just staying solid. Jet is the lone striker on the centre circle. The tackles have been strong. Osbourne had marshalled him, Williams, Moloney and Wagstaff well. The two midfield boys are coming out of the bank and closing the middle runners this time. It's hard though. This guy is a classic home towner. He is giving them everything, we really need to be careful, they are looking for a pen and he is liable to give it. Work to do this half but this is a solid performance with City players chasing everything and running and tackling for everything. They deserve applauding off in 45 min no matter what happens. Good goal by them but v annoying to concede when we did.
  7. Local radio "To be fair this is a horrible fixture. A side fighting for their life with good players and going into it with back to back wins. If people think we are going to easily roll Bristol City then they've got a shock coming in the next few hours"
  8. I think we will struggle. Could do without watching us get tanked though....
  9. Stopped 50 miles outside Peterborough to change out of work clothes. BALDOCK services. Surely an omen. Luton fans in here. They must be home.
  10. Yesterday the chap next to me said it's only when you come to away games and sit this close you realise how small and how young Fielding is. Fair play to Frank I thought he played ok. Extra marks for the final whistle celebration in front of us!
  11. You also can't keep a manager who has delivered a relegation, taken us to the foot of the league below, delivering awful football and lost large sections of the support.
  12. Pearson got skinned. El-Abd had to race across and leave his man to cover, didn't get there, crossed it over Fielding then their striker rose with Flint and Williams to put a bullet header into the top corner. Pearson caused it by poor marking if you're looking for a scapegoat.
  13. Still in the Charles Darwin with Shrewsbury fans. I hope people will be happy to hear they all think we'll stay up.,,,
  14. Best comment I was on sporting life and said to my dad "we are up to 17th now" Fella behind "you see, they'll be on the forum talking about play offs now" Gotta love this places reputation!
  15. I don't know on that second goal. I know Flint and Williams were staring at him but he had two men to mark. He had to leave his to get across to the bye line to charge down the cross he didn't get to. Who was skinned before that? Was it Elliott? It was a poor goal to concede but can you lay it at El Abd door? I do agree he gave away some idiotic fouls for pushes in the back that invited pressure.
  16. Who said 4 coaches? Just come out the ground and there's about 12
