A reminder it's round two this weekend, which means we are about to end the draw, where we all get our hopes up for a top tie only to be drawn against some low level non league team like Rovers

Anyone know if Crewe are any good this season?   

We've had the camp nou, their version is the 'blocked view'.

They should be pillar-ied for such a disaster.

Elsewhere, Rovrum 3-0 down at HT. The two South Yorkshire clubs look doomed already.

With the Blades, it's all 3.

Are there any other clubs in South Yorkshire? Barnsley and Huddersfield are West aren't they?

Doncaster?

The only thing I learnt from the total bore fest this evening is that we have a 125 year lease on what used to be our stadium.

The rest was woeful!

Vetch Field was cracker of a ground with a rather nice welcome from the locals !

0-5 on the 20th March 1989 . Oh what a night !!!

That was lively getting out of there!

Those little back streets were a nightmare.

Like others, the Boleyn, old Den, Ayresome Park, Baseball ground, Tinnion park and Highfield Road (1977) are the ones I liked. Sadly all long gone. Blinding atmospheres though.

On the 'intimidating' factor, many fans of other clubs say our place used to be bad back in the day, not that we probably noticed.

 Certainly not something I would attribute to Jurgen Klopp. 

Klopp used to do it with the Yellow wall at Dortmund after the players stood in a line doing the same thing. I think he's always done it.

Anything to do with the Yellow wall is awesome to be fair.

Not a lot of people know this Everton and Man U fans dislike each other other as much if not more than Liverpool 

Why? I always thought it was Man U and Liverpool that detested each other. Is this about the people's Republic of Scousers or something?

No keeper was stopping that to be fair.

Both Atkinson and Dickie were given instructions by NP to bring the ball forward when able to.

Fair comment but it was certainly more noticeable yesterday IMHO as said by BCFC01.

I think I might have to rate that one above TGH's.

Perfect execution.

Was thinking the same pal. That was better than Rooneys overhead years ago. 99 times out of 100, he doesn't do that!

Hell of a goal.

What a goal that was!!

The main differences for me was that Dickie was given licence to bring the ball out and get us up the pitch and TGH was played in a position that got the best out of him. 

Would Nige have told Dickie not to do that?

Very odd if he did.

Not Songs day, that's for sure.

So, given the thread is about 'transition' and not another one bemoaning the fact Nige has gone, did anyone see any particular differences? I certainly thought we were more positive with the ball although it's very, very early to judge.

Personally, I enjoy away games more than home ones so try and do a few.

Just my opinion, obviously.

Surely Bradley Orr deserves a place? Pissed up down town and getting arrested.

Who was the centre half that was with Brad and Brooker? Was it Dave Partridge?

13 here, not bad.

I think the most unpopular striker in my time was Scott mcgarvey, he got terrible stick from the dolman, even when he scored he was called a flash fing such and such, his scoring record for us was decent 

I'll raise you Ian Baird.

I’ve only truly hated one set of fans and that is Rovers fans.
Many a story to be told (not on here) hunting them down around Eastville, Twerton, AG when they played Swindon, and generally all round Bristol and Bath. Only one word hatred, but as I get older, the rivalry wains. Still got my 10 holed DMs just in case I get a chance to wear them again  

10 hole? I'd pass out being bent over long enough to put them on nowadays!

Each to their own. I have little interest in Cardiff not even bothered about the result. Even the games against each other are boring with little atmosphere.

I've little time for Cardiff but that pales into insignificance where the gas are concerned. I despise everything about that crappy little club!

Surely it's a generation thing as we never play them anymore but the feeling before a Bristol Derby is both incredible and horrible.

74 for me, used to be 82 but moves, clubs dropping out / new ones coming in did for me.

Following us all the way down and back up, like many others pushed the number quite high.

I would love to finish it but sometimes struggle with motivation to go to home games so not many away days is the order of the day now. Been to 4 this season already though.

Annis' cameo as attacking Central mid last week certainly warranted thought but sticking him wide left clearly doesn't work.

2 of TGH / James / Williams/ Naismith with Knight in the attacking role would seem to be our strongest option.

TC was so isolated today, I felt for the lad.

Food for thought for Liam!

He must be a BS employee then.

I couldn't afford the pay cut UR.

I haven't read the thread so here's my opinion on today.

No blame on Manning atall but that was a dreadful game.

The only positive for me was when Knight was moved forward and TGH sat in beside James. Annis is not a Championship winger but may do more centrally.

As for the rest of the game, instantly forgettable.

Hopefully better to come plus we didn't lose.
