Full nelson

Wow!! What a result they had today......they are so weak and embarrassing at the moment. Take it for granted they played a good side today but to concede 70 is utter bull s&-t. 

Robinson was never the man to take Bristol to the next level and he's clearly proving me right.

11 on 11 we were the better team. That's the crumb of comfort I'm clinging to here. However, we bottled it after the two sendings off- completely lost our heads and I think that's very worrying. Everything that was good in the first half just went out the window at 10 v 10 and we should have had the advantage; we were quicker than them for an hour and passed the ball better. We ran them ragged first half and yet we were blowing out our arses in the last 10

The penalty was as clear as they come and while I appreciate that Tomlin is the designated penalty taker, why the **** wouldn't he give it Tammy? He can only lose from that situation- if he scores so what. If he misses he looks like a**** who's just robbed an 18 year old of a hattrick. O'Neil's sending off was bullshit. HOWEVER you make a tackle like that, on a yellow card, after the ref has just sent a home player off, he's going to even things up

So what was good. Tammy is an absolute beast. It's my first game of the season, I didn't expect him to be so physically dominant. Magnusson is clearly a top quality player, needs to work on his heading but his positioning and awareness are excellent and he's got a great pass on him. O'Dowda was also good, Bryan excellent and Brownhill was also very good first half

The bad. Tomlin is part of the problem here folks. We want everything to go through him, but he just can't keep up with Tammy, COD or even Brownhill or Bryan. Then when he does get the ball he's holding on and holding on because he wants to be the one who plays the killer ball rather than just having the play go through him. Johnson either needs to find a different way to utilise him or bench him from my small viewing sample

Midfield- Pack is too passive in a game like that, that's why O'Neil was having to make the kind of challenges that got him sent off. Pack is great when we have possession and are dominating play, he doesn't influence it enough when we're chasing the ball

Flint- from the sublime to the ridiculous. He's making mistakes and he needs to cut it out 

Management- Johnson didn't do enough to influence that game and when he did, he frankly got it wrong. He brought Bobby Reid on to the right wing when Adam Reach was running riot. Bobby then constantly drifted inside, giving Reach so much room and space. It needed a proper winger on there to a) get behind him and b) reduce the space he had. Bobby was either poorly instructed or poorly disciplined 

Anyway, rant over. Hopefully some lessons will be learnt and some improvements made. The 1st half needs to be the norm and the 2nd half needs to be learnt from

Spot on! I've been saying for a while now that LT could be the issue here. I said you can't play JK, TA and LT together. JK left and I think if he stays and LT is benched!!!!!!!!! (What have I said) we have the best strike force in the league.

Watch the highlights on Sky and you can see that Derby clearly are firing on all cylinders.  They absolutely murdered Ipswich.  61% possession, 23 shots to 5, 4 corners to none.  And Ipswich won with a bad mistake by the Derby keeper with 1 of their 2 shots on target.

Derby will be a really tough game on Saturday. 

Yes they will be!! They are a very good side. 

This ends 3-2

Was working over Patchway this afternoon and whilst standing behind a few of the young stone island brigade in the local corner shop, I overhear that "Chelsea ain't ready for the Gas Hit Squad"

Well if goals come from elsewhere then there's nothing to worry about! 

Just watched the goals again. Wow!! I thought the defending was bad and it was bad.

I'm glad City are giving it everything in this relegation 6 pointer.

Not listened to any of the game so far, but how have we been playing? 

I posted in the week we are worse under LJ. I stand by this. Really think we will get relegated under him 

We are not very good!! LJ at this moment in time doesn't know what to do....hope he sorts out by HT as I can see another goal coming from Fulham

I can see this lot going up this season! Could they be the best team in the south west next season?! i think they could be. 

LJ will feel the verbals from the fans after the lost to Fulham on Saturday and Bolton next Saturday!! 

Hahaha!! Bristol is a crap city for sports! 

:laugh:

All my mates were saying 2 weeks ago how safe we are!! :laugh:, how things have turned! We can't score goals and we leak soft goals.....going down to the last game of the season!!

Thought we played the better football first half but the final ball wasn't good enough, Reid needs to work on his corners, all were terrible. 

Yeah! We may of shaded it just but the game was poor overall. 

I thought the game was 50/50 up till the sending off! Nathan Baker needs to look at himself with 3 really awful tackles and apologise to his team mates and Cotts didn't help by not making the substitute at HT. The penalty at the end was never a penalty but if you go to ground in the box and give the ref who was not great for most of the game a decision to make then you're asking for trouble!! Flint needs to stay on his feet, it never cost us the game and it's something he can learn from.
