Williams to come on?

Just missing a plate to put the ball on before we hand it over.

Very laid-back isn't he?

It reminds me of the 0-2 home loss to Bournemouth last season, when we hardly laid a glove on them.

We've done well to keep the score at 0-1.

We're getting outclassed in midfield. Kalas for King at HT, and push Naismith into midfield?

Benson - again.

Hell, that's only 4 hours and 29 minutes away. Thanks Steve!

Because the horses would trample the players!

The Jam double album, "About The Young Idea". Singles, B Sides, album tracks. A thing of beauty. Thank you Mr Weller.

Steve will have to start that window cleaning round again!

Anyone got a free live stream they could share, please?

Reminds me of the ill-fated 'Game 39' Game 39 - Wikipedia

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-losses-championship-rivals-8386461 How Bristol City's extortionate operational losses compare to their Championship rivals Bristol Live spoke to author of The Price of Football Kieran Maguire to get his views on City's 2021/22 numbers and those of their league rivals Bristol City's operational losses last year further emphasised the amount of work still required to further make the football club more sustainable as Championship sides continue to chase the Premier League dream. The Robins' accounts showed they faced losses £532,000-a-week in the previous financial year, with only five other clubs topping that figure in Fulham, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham and Stoke City, as past and present league rivals continue to post their figures. City have worked tirelessly to address their financial woes, which were inflated by the Covid pandemic including the collapse of the transfer market and the loss of revenue. In their latest accounts which were posted in November, it confirmed a pre-tax loss of £28.5million for the 2021/22 financial year which was £10m better off than the year prior. City saved costs on player wages, which fell from £5m from £31.5m to £26.9m, while turnover was £29.6m in the latest financial year compared to £16.6m in the year before. However, the cost of operational losses is still an extraordinary and unsustainable figure, although the Robins aren't the only team. Fulham (£1.3million) and Bournemouth (£1.1m) were the two clubs who were losing over £1m-a-week but their respective returns to the Premier League via promotion meant they have been able to recoup and put money back into the coffers. Nottingham Forest's gamble to the top-flight paid off after they were sustaining weekly losses of £981,000. Including Bristol City, nine Championship sides incurred losses of over £400,000-a-week while Blackpool's figure was the lowest at £75,000. Speaking to Bristol Live, Football's Finance Expert and author of The Price of Football Kieran Maguire said of the figures: "The approaches taken by owners of Championship clubs suggest their decision making is a combination of love, vanity and insanity as they try to provide the means for their clubs to achieve promotion to the Premier League. "As one owner said, 'Football club ownership is a bit like owning a racehorse, the two days are the ones when you buy it and sell it, the ones in between are very expensive with occasional highlights but plenty of forgettable ones too'." City owner Steve Lansdown, who is still hoping to sell the club or source extra investment, has invested just under £240m in the club during his tenure which includes over £120m over the last six years. "Bristol City are dependent upon Steve Lansdown’s affection for the City and the club in sustaining their position in the Championship," Maguire added. "He has put £230m into the club and whilst there have been improvements in terms of the stadium and infrastructure hasn’t had a financial return on his investment on the pitch. "The club does have a strategy in that it is trying to generate more non-matchday income from the stadium and achieve better cost control. Having said that over the last decade, wages have averaged £125 for every £100 the club generates which is not sustainable. "The EFL’s Chief Execitive Trevor Birch is trying to knock heads together and encourage clubs to live more within their means. The culture of clubs, from owners, managers, and fans, is that spending more and more money is seen as a shortcut to success on the pitch, and that leads to more financial risks being taken. "Until that mentality ceases or there is less of a gap between the Premier League and the EFL there’s little chance of a significant fall in the losses currently being generated." City have managed to avoid a points deduction having fallen in line with the EFL's Profit and Sustainability rules, however, Reading became the second side this season to be punished. Earlier this month, they were docked six points having failed to meet an agreed budget following an earlier breach of the profit and sustainability limits in 2021. Wigan were also handed a three-point penalty in March after failing to pay their players on time. It's worth noting Derby have yet to submit their accounts, alongside Sheffield United, Huddersfield and Peterborough. Championship operational losses 2021/22 (per week) Fulham - £1.3m Bournemouth - £1.1m Nottingham Forest - £981,000 Birmingham City - £577,000 Stoke City - £548,000 Bristol City - £532,000 Reading - £487,000 QPR - £468,000 Cardiff - £463,000 Preston - £450,000 Blackburn Rovers - £418,000 Middlesbrough - £410,000 Milwall - £240,000 West Brom - £227,000 Hull City - £151,000 Luton - £144,000 Barnsley - £122,000 Coventry - £110,000 Blackpool - £75,000

https://foreverbristolcity.podbean.com/e/sheffield-utd-a-the-verdict-more-of-the-same/ Early dominance but no end product – just like Watford all over again but with fewer goal chances. City silenced the home crowd with a spirited first half performance but the Blades upped the pace in the second period and scored the winner through a Man City loanee valued at £20M. Should City have had a penalty in the first half when Bell was flattened? Who was Nigel referring to when assessing the performance of his subs who failed to make the impact he was hoping for and added the comment “I don’t care who they are”? Ian, Mark and DaveP discuss the game and more. [Apologies for some sound issues!!]

That's our 6th blank in the last 7 away games. Poor in the final third and wasted all that hard work.

Mehmeti for Tanner.
