And where is Pearson. Sat on his ass all game in the crowd. How does that help the team. Not good enough.

Britton aint that slow.

Britton aint that slow.

I know Pearson says Brittons issue is his fitness rather than his attitude or ability. Surely he must be fit enough to give him 15-20 mins at the end of a match to give Martin a bit of a break?

As he did at home to the mighty Brentford last game of the season when he got on for the last 15 and flattened one of their center backs and then got into the box to tap in a goal.

This young lad scored 3 cracking goals for the under 23s in their last match and has been playing very well. He's earnt his chance but this was a difficult match with the team under pressure to win at home. Hope he stays in the first team squad and gets on for 20 in the next match.

Yes your team is more likely.

Britton has to be given a chance.  He may not be the quickest - is he any slower than Martin - but he'll rough up and unsettle defenders as he did against Brentford end of last season. He's also better at putting the ball in the net. A penalty area player.

NP has form for chucking the players under the bus after a defeat and then picking the exact same team for the following game. 

Wouldn't expect many surprises.

My team would be .

 

                                     Bentley

                       Kalas     Atkinson     Pring

     Tanner                                                     DaSilva

                          James     Massengo

                                       Palmer

                             Weimann     Britton

 

Switch Weiman for Palmer and put in Wells alongside Britton.

Why did Sterling stop running, the keeper was dead and buried.

Cus he ain't got a brain to work it out.

Very overrated, makes so many poor decisions.

Totally agree. Headless chicken. The complete opposite of Grealish. No wonder the latter was cursing when he sat down. 

Taking Grealish off and leaving Sterling on is a joke. Southgate out.

Why are we not calming it down with several subs. Bring on Palmer, then a couple of minutes and bring on Bell to use his useful energy.

It is the old OTIB standard on Britton, he is ‘one of our own and he is going to be a star’’ .

He is miles off being a Championship striker at this point. 

Doesn't stop Martin being selected. 

Bad idea. Spillage, interruptions during game to get refills plus loo visits. Will cause aggro amongst fans. Get drinks before the game, at half time and at the end.

O’Dowda would have turned back and ended up passing back to Bentley!

Pearson will sort that.

Steve has been waiting for an excuse to hire Mark Robins for years

Well his connections with Man U and the fact that he got Walsh to get 3 awards this season, is in his favour.

The top coaches wouldn’t be interested as they could work for top Premier League teams or clubs abroad. However, there are always plenty of good coaches who would want to work with a team like City. We’ve got a good ground, training facilities, the basis of a good team and an owner who gives a coach time and money. The way to identify them is to advertise the job, see who applies and then interview the top 5 applicants. Unfortunately, this basic principle doesn’t seem to happen at City and the job is just given to someone SL likes - eg Lee Johnson, Steve Coppell, Keith Millen, Brian Tinnion 

One season with the quality of our players would ensure that a top coach would soon be up there with the Premier League teams.

Any ideas? I would suggest top coaches wouldn't be interested in Bristol City, we're not a big club. Bristol Bears are in the premiership, and I'm guessing have one on the best budgets in the league, you can't really compare the two.

The question is - How then do we become a big club?

OldlandReddies. Smashed against a wall in frustration!

Sorry, but Diony would have been entirely wrong today, and Woodrow was a goid shout.

There were two teams out there today.  We bossed the first half; Leeds shook themselves up at half time and played very well in the second half.  A draw is a draw.  You might as well say that we didn’t win today because we didn’t have Aguero, or Kane, or any other player.  Fact is that with the squad we have we got a creditable draw at Leeds which, as Bobby Reed said, they who’d have taken before the game.

No disrespect, but Johnson is the manager, not you, and I think we’re having a pretty decent season.

Were having a pretty good season is correct. We are not now. We are sinking and need to sort ourselves out before we fall massively away from the playoffs and a major disappointment.

Leeds were short of a lot of first team players through injury plus three who were suspended and serving the last match. They were there for the taking.

#1 I am a fan of LJ and the club philosophy.

Next;

Woodrow should be nowhere near the first team

If we were going to go 451 then I’d rather have had Bobby stay upfront (he can almost  do the job of 2 with his energy and pressing) and bring Walsh on (he would look after the ball and ultimately help relieve pressure)

If not, Diony instead of Woodrow

Diedjou was clearly struggling so a little slow to make that change

Another game that not having a RB (and Wright) has cost us. I like Wright as a warrior, but at best, our 3rd choice CB. Another consistency of the season.

These are not thoughts with hindsight but ones which I had during the game.

Rather have our player Enkvall than the loaned Woodrow and also Diony. Diony hasn’t settled whereas Enkvall has and is more mobile than both. We keep taking him to games now but apart from 5 minutes at home recently when he looked sharp  with a couple of runs, he’s not had a chance yet.

Leeds played much better in the second half for sure, but from the half time scores two games in a row when you fancy the top five would have seen them both home for six points pretty comfortably

Just seemed to lose our control in midfield at half time, and carried very little threat. The worry as it has been for a while is that we do not really for the top six have a strong bench. Not the worst result in the world, but not looking great either.

We let them in by conceding a shocking first goal and thereby gave them a lift. So needless.

Exactly the same failing as last week  - we stopped playing. All the things we did in the first half to control the game we stopped doing. Just before they got their first goal I made a comment to my son about how we seemed to have stopped pressing, allowing them to have their half to themselves. For both their goals we let them get in front of us rather than showing the determination to be first to the ball. When teams take their foot off the peddle it's difficult to get control of the game back - so in the end we were hanging on and lucky to get the point with their chance right at the death.

On the one hand a point gained, which I would have taken before the game. Overall, though, another two points wasted. 

Still all to play for, but very frustrating today.

 

To go with the 5 points lost in the previous games against poor teams. As you said, we gave them to much space and allowed them to play. Their first goal was absolutely needless. From the tv camera behind the goal Flint was marking nobody and shorty Wright was infront of his man and blind. Can remember this costing a goal in a previous match. Should Fielding have come for it? Not sure. Why was the inept Woodrow in the centre of defence on that free kick which they nearly scored from at the end of the game. What does our player Enkvall have to do to get a game in front of that loan player. Good that LJ is learning every game we cock up. Need a win now as confidence will dwindle away.

Can we all stop talking about the f’ing Playoffs!!! We ain’t staying in the top six. We will do well to stay above 10th!! Good season turning out to be very bang average and a season which will just dwilndle along till May. 

Bit like last season at the start of the year.
