I don't like the style but i sometimes feel we are a little too nice and naive . We could use one or two more " streetwise " players to shake things up a bit when needed ;

I agree with this, and I think one criticism you could level at LJ is he has been a little naive too at times. Yes confidence was high, but going gung-ho at Hull on Saturday was probably not the safest option and we certainly got exposed.

Just going to point out that both Warnock and LJ have managed 7 games at their current clubs, one of those has his team a few points clear of the relegation zone as it stands with a 1.71 PPG average, while the other is currently in the drop zone with a 1.57 PPG average.

Don't you go giving out facts that distort the truth....

Ah you do have some faith then? Maybe try keeping it a little longer than 3 minutes next week!

Reid always seems to be much better playing away from home. At Ashton Gate he always seems pretty useless. 

I think to be fair you can say that about most of the team! It's our away form keeping us up at the moment

We've made big progress to be just the one goal down at half time in this sort of game. Still in it, can still win it!!! COYR!!'

I'm sure we will have a go second half, so we will either ending pulling something back or concede another couple!

To be fair, the East End was on the South side.

 

That would make the Williams the South stand then? It's either south or west, never North!

Great result, perfect afternoon. Get in there!

of course it was correct but this is not peculiar to SC, as I said it goes with the job, most head coaches/managers are like this.

 

Absolutely! Anyway, game thread....Come on City!!

Sorry to reopen the topic but it really baffles me how Cotterill messed this up, a simple change in formation and the results arrive. Don't think the resurgence is just down to new manager syndrome either. Grateful to Cotts but my god how can someone be so stubborn?

I was thinking about this the other day ... seeing how it's now going, does he regret anything?

Surely even the most staunch SC supporters must admit now it was the correct decision to fire him. The way he persisted with 3-5-2, amongst other things, baffling beyond belief  

Sounds like Wolves changed formation at half time to out '5-3-2' us, but we managed to out '5-3-2' them

Congratulations lads, great bounce back from Fulham!

Table at half time, couple more goals and we could be up to 18th!  COYR!

Hoping Charlton equalise against MK Dons, which will lift us a place too...should we win! COYR

Get in!

that rule book is just a perception, I haven't ever seen him say that he wont make subs at any point in a game.

Have you not seen his little book he always holds at the games?

Apparently someone wrote on here once that on first page is a list of tactics.

1. Don't drop Wilbraham

2. See above

There is a LOT of moaning on OTIB tonight - and we are not even losing yet.

I like Baker.

He may look like a raging jihadist, but he's a damn good defender

As long as his waging jihad against the Wolves front line tonight, I'm a convert!

So Agard, let's see what you've got! 

And thank God Baker is back.

I know it's very early in the season to talk about 'must win games', but this really feels like one.

Defeat tonight might just knock the confidence to a point where it will take something drastic to rediscover any kind of good form.

I'm feeling optimistic that we can't perform as badly as we did against Fulham, and hope the boys will come out to right some wrongs tonight.

I'm following the game on a train in Austria, so cheer the lads on for me, would ya?!

Problem is Cotts comes out and says we were unlucky not to win, we were brilliant etc etc, and the players believe all the hype too. Poor. 

Well up to now you could argue our poor results have not matched our performances. That has kept SC safe.

As soon as the performances become like they seem to be today, he won't survive for long given our league position.

Not at the game so can't comment, but is it a coincidence that we are back to the Williams/Bryan left sided combo and conceding goals for fun again?

Seems all that hard work from the previous few games and progress is out the window today. Shame

Look, i'm not Wilbraham's biggest fan and he may not have had a big impact on the game, but he is a physical presence up there and has been involved.

I'm sorry, but those of you who think he hasn't won a header all half, yes, you're mistaken. He may have lost out a fair bit, but there were at least two/three flick ons but because Kodj wasn't running on to them they are forgotten.

two poor crosses from Joe, great position both times.

It's the age old lack of composure holding us back at the moment.

Well in the game though

Baker's got a problem, off for Bryan
