Portland Bill

I was only saying recently that we never score from our long throws............................

Must be an awful game to watch  if your a neutral!!

No it doesn't.

Didn't Bradford have superb cup run and get promoted. ? 

I understand your logic though .

 I think the cup run has been good for us .

We need a bit of a break which we're not getting at the moment.

As for Norwich they looked good and if they had a forward we would have lost 3 or 4 nil .

Very disappointed by the result but we have played some neat football just lacked a bit of quality in the final third .

Again .

Perhaps we do need another striker . 

Bradford’s League form took a massive dip that season, they slipped to 7th, but they did manage to go up in the play offs.

Just saying!

Just a thought, maybe Magnússon was knackered after playing 90 minutes against Sterling in the week?

I think the whole team was knackered, that’s why using only one sub in Manchester was a strange decision imo.

Coaches are very clever in this league, they are now well aware of how we play, and will set up to stop us in the first instance. We need a physical presence up top in some of these games, because Bobby Reid  for all his skill and energy just can’t cope with the physical side and still create.

The sooner our injured forwards get fit the better. The players have been fantastic, but the same ones can’t be expected to do it every game.

It happens to a team every season, a good cup run seems to effect league form.

Plus, if you were the Norwich manager you would stick a physical presence up against Bobby Reid, we are in need of getting our injured players back very quickly.

Had a bad feeling about today,  it’s always hard when your second game in a very quick turnaround is away from home, especially at somewhere like Villa.

I put a fiver at 12/1 for Flint to score in the 90 minutes, so I thought £65 win.

Just checked the bet, “Flint to score with a header”gutted!!

Big credit to the referee, great advantages played for both our goals.

Awful challenge.

What did he do so poor ?

Was left exposed couldn't jump into a tackle IMHO

 

Should have shown him inside Bob. I think everyone could see that Clarke was more than happy to hit one with his right.

Just allow him to put the ball on his stronger right side and shoot, shite defending.

Out of no where,,,!!!

Im sat at home watching Brum v Cardiff, Cardiff are top- it shows what a poorer league this is this season, as they are dire.

Leko should be right up for this, West Brom player playing against Wolves!

Rather ironic that their shirt sponsor is a travel company 

These Rovers fans never cease to amaze me, 2,000' of them disguised as red seats behind the goal they are defending. 

Got to give them credit for that!.

Almost knocked him out. You are a joker pal.

The 'pal' is a she! She knows nothing about football ( as has been shown over the last 12 months on the main forum) and clearly the same re boxing!.

For what it's worth...from the Millwall official site:

"Harris...was pleased with an "excellent" performance in the West Country.

"We knew had to be on the front foot and ready for the challenge from the beginning," he said. "I thought the performance today from my players was excellent. The team delivered the gameplan to stop Bristol City's strength of passing the ball between the lines. Ultimately, I've got a dressing room that's really proud of the performance, but disappointed they didn't get the three points. I thought we got stronger as the game went on. The subs made an impact, too. Barring a great save by the goalkeeper and hitting the woodwork, we'd be coming away with the three points...we managed the game very well today and were just missing that end product."

 

Every Championship scout will by now have our game plan sussed, just as they did last season. It's now up to our coaching staff to come up with a variety of ways of playing.  

The big question is are they capable of doing this.................

Cardiff and Ipswich seem to have done ok playing that many games!

Yes, because both of those teams have very experienced managers who know what they are doing......................

It would have been sold out twice over if it hadn't been for that pesky balloon fiesta ...

I heard........... there was real concern of today's game selling out, that apparently 5,000 of them were above the mem watching!

Pity the Sag who contacted Radio Bristol to say he was gutted, as he took his woman to Charlton in a mini bus for their anniversary.

Bet she was thrilled with that then!!!

 

Edit.....Maybe she was the driver.

 

No, Robbored drives the mini buses!

Fundemental problem with developing the Mem is money - they ain't got any. Plus it's a small site - you wouldn't consider it if there wasn't a ground there at the moment. 

The last time I took any interest in them was when they told us they had a new multi zillion billion pound new owner. 

Your not seriously telling me that they got their facts wrong are you...........................

What the kiwi press think of Luatua's move to Bristol.

7 goals conceded in 2 games, good job it was all John Pembertons fault.

An absolute thrashing will help Johnson yet again deflect blame and Lansdown will suck it up "let down by the team" "needs players he can trust" blah blah blah. Players appear equally to blame tonight but Johnson has created the situation.

Too late for a change . Unless Blackburn lose every game I think we are down.

I cant imagine he goes so folks unless you feel your support is reciprocated by the club then vote with your wallets and stay away.

Those who continue to support this ******* fraud and his megalomaniac backer then genuinely I say fair play and hope you continue to enjoy the match day experience.

If LJ stays as our manager, then Blackburn can't lose every game........................
