Hilarious. Die you *****.

Rovers fan I work with said to me earlier this summer that Luke James was the worst striker he had ever seen play for them. When you have watched the likes of Christian McClean and whoever they had up front in the season they were relegated from the football league, that is some ******* accolade..

8 actually, (2-4, 3-4).

See that bloke Miller they were due to sign in the January transfer window from Dover (and who their friends at The Post have been bigging up this week for scoring over 40 goals this season) has signed for Peterborough today. Weird, isn't it? Run by a billionaire Arab owner apparently yet outbid by a club with 6000 fans & run by the likes of Darragh McAnthony..

Only a club which should declare itself an irony free zone could include a picture of someone who looks like a tramp above a story about helping the homeless. Are there really people out there more unfortunate than the sags?

Yet another penalty today, such a shame they still got stuffed by a side that hadn't win in a while, eh?

Don't think somehow that Reading away is the game Blackburn were targeting to overhaul us, seeing as we still have to go there and if we lose tonight we will already have done so 14 times away from home..

Sickener for the Bristol Post and their desperate attempts to will them into the play offs.. At the same time as running articles slagging us off, of course..

In many ways this is the most depressing aspect. It is certainly a valid argument to say that as a coach who had responsibility for the defence he could have little complaint about being sacked, though what justification there is for still keeping the other 2 clowns on I have no idea. However as the only obvious candidate to be caretaker this now means I think that LJ will remain in post at least until we are mathematically relegated. Unbelievable.

Expect one of their resident optimists will be on here soon crowing about how this now eclipses their last transfer fee- the massive £40k they apparently paid Cambridge for Gaffney.. Exciting times..

What is brave in using all your defensive options up at HT when it was only 1-0? Even without an injury to a defender a red card is always a possibility away from home. The defence we tried to see the game out with contained 3 players playing out of position, that isn't brave, it is stupid.

If your reckless substitutions mean that you play the last 20 minutes with a CB at RB, a winger at LB and a LB at CB you can't be too surprised to get beat, can you? Shambolic.

Seeing as we have lost 8 out of our 12 away games it isn't that astonishing..

"Common sense and logic"! Our average attendance this season is 19,300, which even taking into account away fans is a suspiciously high percentage of our "25-30k fans" when it is compared to your season's average of 9,100 when you are supposed to have "23-28k fans" isn't it? By the way, your higher crowds this season are on the back of successive promotions and up to five weeks ago what looked like a season of being play off contenders. Despite this (Xmas apart) you don't get anywhere near to selling out your tiny little ground (despite your club pretending, it isn't really a "stadium", is it?) even though you are now again based in what is supposed to be your heartland, North Bristol. I can only come to one of two conclusions, if you do have the numbers of supporters that you claim then despite what the local media and your club keep telling us, your actual "support" is pretty shit. Otherwise and much more likely though is that you simply don't have that number of fans interested in your club and so your current average is, as I said before, only actually about 30% of Bristol's football fans.

This season's attendances would suggest it is about 30%. That blue "half" of Bristol line peddled by the local media (and them) has been a myth for years.

Not sure the sale of Cureton for £250k to Reading was exactly genius.

8089 were there tonight, with 411 of them from Charlton.. **** me, one game at home that they don't win and the self proclaimed "best fans in the world's" crowds plummet to only 7600 home fans. Pathetic.

Really? How about every single game of ours under O'Driscoll? Or is this one of those "I can't remember" posts that is actually referring to the last two years? Would not be at all surprised by a 0-0 or 1-1.

Just seen it, an unbelievable decision. Sent off for handball, no way was it deliberate and the ref wasn't even going to stop the game initially. One of many odd refereeing decisions they seem to regularly benefit from.

Nope.

Yep, yet another one..

With O'Dowda out of favour, Freeman injured and Paterson on the bench we do look very short of width. Hopefully a midfield including Tomlin and Reid will make up for it with their creativity. Wilbs first league start of the season, too.

I somehow doubt this.

Having just watched the goals Taylor blatantly trips the guy marking him off the ball and so is left alone to score the second and looks to be well offside when he scores the third. What with a staggering combination of regular opposition red cards and penalty awards they do seem to have a lot of "luck". Perhaps that is why Wael doesn't spend any money on players?

Condolences to the OP. Be good to get a decent result tonight but the first post just reminds us all it really isn't that important.
