I tried changing things up by wearing some new socks (with a red trim) for the WBA game. Won't be doing that again.

I hate it when that happens and the best case scenario is that a caretaker takes over but doesn't have the kind of impact that a new manager would have. Caretakers don't always get the bounce like new managers do (or seems to).

Yeah agreed ?

I think it would have been impossible for him to be 100% sure which foot touched it so you could argue that it was unfair for the lino to call it. I think with Wells being in such an advantageous offside position the lino just erred in the side of caution because to incorrectly allow the goal would be embarrassing. Just my best guess though.

I saw the behind the goal angle and it's inconclusive but you can see that Weimann and the defenders are both stretching their toes to the ball and could even have both made contact. Regards Tanner's backpass, he passed it beyond the wide player nearest to him but didn't calculate that the striker could also run onto it.

Lansdown says it would make a significant difference and yeah maybe you're right that 2023 or 2024 are in his mind.

Beating Barnsley would put these three defeats behind us and create a new dynamic going into games against our fellow mid-table battlers. A draw would at least give us another point towards 50. But to lose...that would be a hammer blow both to the confidence of the squad, and to the faith that fans have in the current project and there would be boos and groans echoing around Ashton Gate.

Exactly. This thread is forgetting that we are openly seeking investment. So a lot will change in the coming years.

My outlook now is that every point towards that goal is sacred.

Please don't refer to Northern people as monkeys.

There's a famous photo ?

No, but I did expect us to beat Blackpool, Luton, Preston and Forest Green. Sacking NP not the answer, but I hope NP has the answer.

We all thought it!

To be fair, this is a much better second half. If you take Simpson's stupid error out of the equation we might even have edged it on the balance of play. But we're still shit.

That just makes a mockery of the substitution. I'm really opposed to first half substitutions and I hate that NP does it.

Me crying like a baby...

Where do we deserve to be because that seems to be further down the table every week...?

I'm glad we demoralised Tanner because now we're much better set...

Baker goes off injured. We concede the same goal we concede every week. Nige hooks a player on 30 minutes. This is just classic 2021 City.

It's so disheartening to seeing Luton and Coventry look so much more competitive than us.

Sorry who's this "Vyner" guy you've included in that line up...?

Yes I agree with that. I do think Martin will get the nod over Wells (if they don't both play) just because we face a physical team.

Even on loan RR?

I think we need both Pring and JD on the left, whether that be a 4411, 451 or even a 541. Then we probably have to play Weimann on Tanner's side as Williams is injured and Massengo needed in the middle. I just think wide areas need protection. Then I guess Martin up top for his hurly burly (sorry Wells fans).

Looking at the pics makes me wish Pring had been brought on to support JD on the left. He'd still be an outlet, but would secure that side much better than any of the rest could. Even if that meant a 5-4-1 for the last 15 minutes, I'd much prefer that to what we ended up with which was Palmer and O'Dowda doing the foxtrot in the centre circle.
