  1. He might have been a yard too far over to the right hand side. But I'll forgive him that when you consider he gives us far more than Frank Fielding does. The mistake at Wolves aside I and may others are no longer sh1tt1ng ourselves every time a cross gets delivered into our penalty area. And the save he made in the first five minutes which wasn't shown on the highlights was probably a match winner because had they gone 1-0 up then it could have been a long afternoon for us.
  2. No, Westwood is a permanent signing. He fell ill in the warm up - looked like he was being sick. What was wierd was that they didn't put Lewis Price in goal though.
  3. It started out at sixth richest in Britain (should have no problem beating FFP and signing players on £250K per week in that case) but then the Sags got hold of it and they're now richest in the Galaxy...........by some margin. Similar to their away support which has been averaging 15 million with a further 3 million locked out. Yet it appears that this massive corporation would still rather pay interest on the loans to build the ground apparently?
  4. Sixth richest club in the country.......so people keep telling me, yet they are now looking into "Plan B". Isn't there a Plan A where the multi-gazillionaire just dips his hand in his pocket and builds the ground then?
  5. So the Billionaire Basement Bottlers came down to earth with a bump today then. 6th richest club in England....soon to be the biggest in Europe...and TENTH in League 2. This maths just ain't adding up.
  6. I think he would be mad to do anything different. Until such times as we are more or less safe I cannot see him trying to put much of his own stamp on the side. That may well have to wait until next season when he can add his own players.
  7. Johnson's ability as a player and whether fans believe he was lucky his Dad was Manager (and many do) in order to have played so many games for the club has nothing to do with whether he has the ability as a Manager. Whichever side of the fence we are on in that regard we have to forget that and judge him as a Manager.....unless he starts picking himself in Centre Mid !!!!
  8. Frank came off his line far too late. The players were looking at him as if to say wtf including Pack which I didn't like as he made the first mistake himself. The forty yarder that Barton hit the bar with right in the centre of the goal was also embarrassing. How does a pro keeper get beaten for pace from 40 yards?
  9. Just got back as staying with family up North. Flint at fault for first two goals, Pack and Frank were embarrassing on the third and they took the p1$$ out of us on the fourth. Smith and Baker head and shoulders above the rest. Wes and Bobby did alright at the end. Flint was jekyll and hyde, Williams ok and the rest stunk the place out tbh. Got to tell the truth and say that Pack and Freeman were literally stealing a living today. Absolute disgrace the pair of them. Kodjia wasn't much better and is clearly playing for himself. New GK, two midfield players and a replacement for Wilbraham otherwise totally convinced it's Div 3 football next season. And the way I feel after that trip today Bristol Sport FC can stick a L1 season ticket up their arse.
  10. Do that and we stay up no problem at all in my view. Don't do it and we may as well toss a coin.
  11. Not the worst result in the world and a decent performance overall. Green made a couple of saves that very few keepers in the division could have made although Frank's save at 1-0 down was class too. Great ball in Bryan for the goal - hopefully he can push on. Freeman was better today but not as good as one or two are making out. Smith is still carrying that midfield to a large degree. Baker had his head on this week and we looked much safer defensively. I would have subbed Bennett for Little much earlier because he was having one of those days that all wingers have.
  12. Two sides with completely different aspirations this season. They want to get out and we want to stay in the Championship. On today's evidence both will get what they want out of the season.
  13. Exactly. We won't stay up on today's result and won't be going down on the back of it either. No need to slash your wrists because you "only" got a point and clean sheet away from home.
  14. You also failed to mention the realists who realise that we could be higher up the league but don't expect us to travel anywhere and smash teams out of sight in this league including ones who have only lost once at home this season despite being in the bottom three. Oh, and the people with an agenda who want Cotterill out so take the negatives whenever they can get them.
  15. What's all this bull$h1t about us being told how good we are? The comments I have read from Cotterill are that we are getting better. Have a look at our away record - it's not that shoddy. If we sort things out at the Gate (and we have won two out of the last three at home) we will be alright. To call an away point unacceptable is unacceptable if you ask me.
  16. A point away from home is a result for me. You can't just turn up and smash any team in the Championship.
  17. And a Goalkeeper if Hamer doesn't cut it over the next few weeks (I can't believe for a second that he won't be given a go after Frank's dismal effort today).
  18. What would people do on Tuesday? Foe me it would be Hamer and Reid in for Fielding and Freeman. Maybe Cox for Wilbraham who looked like he had concrete boots on today. And definitely Baker in for Bryan if the lad is fit. For me Bryan and Freeman went missing when it counted today. Pack gets a lot of stick in comparison but at least he tried to get on the ball and put himself up there to be shot at - a far better trait in a player than going missing in my view.
  19. Bloody annoying that they dish out the points based on the final score !!
  20. Get a grip ffs. We played a team that beat Middlesbrough last time out off the park, their keeper was outstanding and we hit the woodwork twice. On their own patch too. If anyone cannot see that this team is starting to cope with life in the Championship send us a pm because I know where you can get a cheap guide dog.
