There's a surprise.

The ****wit's watertight contract wasn't watertight.

Oh Hull City are also playing tomorrow....so lest we forget.....

 

So a goal to decide who went to the Premiership or a goal scored by a team that forgot to bring their shirts, ate their pre match meal on the coach and then relegated you to into non league.

No wonder we say "mind the gap" you sag loser.

Ah its all easy saying it now in hindsight.. Lets see if Rotherham can continue it.. We looked as good as sorted didnt we and now look at us.. They could easily go on a bad run now too.. **** Warnock he wasnt the answer man

Well, we will find out at the end of the season.

The only thing that mattered this year was staying up, Rotherham looked out of it when he took over, seen the table now?

Some of those comments about Warnock will come back and bite a few on the arse, too.

Three wins on the spin now..

Thanks for your contribution, glad you read the 120 pages. Cheers.

Read 120 pages? As a sag he's much more likely to have coloured them in...

87 Hartlepool fans last night.

I have to say that for that length of journey from the North East for a night game to watch a side in the bottom three of the whole football league that is far, far more impressive than the 6500 who crawled out of Lockleaze and Southmead to attend.

6634 there tonight.

Massive club..

More chance of hell freezing over. Mark my words, Sheff Utd. 

My thoughts too.

Another shite result for them today, Adkins won't be in charge much longer if he keeps that up.

I thought their budget meant winning that division was a piece of cake? Pretty sure I read that on here when Cotterill did it, whereas they don't even look like making the play offs..

Look who was in the away end

What sort of ***** calls someone who led us to a 99 point, title winning season "agent"?

Oh, of course a gashead. ****.

God the moderation is a bit harsh on their site. Saw a Red got banned for this considered post :/

 

 

I'm defiantly not gutted. Obviously you are all getting a bit excited about, which is fair enough, the same happened when Lansdown happened. 
If anything, this may make City push further on, for obvious reasons. 

There is however a danger to the deal you've just done, just hope it ends positively for you lot.

 

Banned.

Woo woo!

Yeah, but we're all shitheads, aren't we? All South Bristol, out of work, whereas they are "Family club" "passion", "loyal, never boo" etc, etc.

*****.

Sheff Utd (a far, far bigger club) sold a 50% stake to a Saudi prince back in 2013 with the intention of "returning to The Premiership as soon as possible".

Remind me again, how's that going?

Wow, a quick Google of their new chairman throws up a few "interesting" stories..

Mark Cooper is the tip..

Seeing as we just played the second half with a keeper with no first team experience I'd say a draw away to a Premiership side was none too shoddy.

I doubt the players will be anywhere near as damaged as they would have been by the Charlton score, either.

Let's hope we have one or two new faces by Tuesday and get the win we need.

What a bunch of ******* losers.

My optimism is gone. We are a poor side and will do well to stay up. I want you faithful to say you told me so on game 46 and we are sitting 10th or something but I simply can't expect that from this team now. Before today I thought we could get 7 from our next 9 points. Now I think we'll do well to get 2. 

 

Fair play to you for reasoned debate.

For what it is worth from (as my post history will show) from about two weeks before the season started I've believed we were in a relegation battle and still do.

Talk of a mid table finish (or 10th) is fanciful.

I don't think we'll finish any higher than 18th and it could well be very tight.

However just because (for reasons none of us know) our summer transfer strategy was a shambles that doesn't mean that January's will be, does it?

Last summer went pretty well.

Some of the stuff posted on this thread is ridiculous and to also reply to the thread above I'm actually pleased Cotterill is going ballistic at the players after the game..

First defeat in 4 games, but only 4 points from 4 games. Four points obtained from matches against Wolves and Hull is good, but zero from Bolton and Rotherham is poor. There has been a lack of consistency all season caused, IMO, by a squad that is too small and lacking in quality in key areas. 

Zero from Bolton?

A freak result? Maybe. At this point the freak results are our positive ones. Boro and Hull results were quite long odds. What is it about us and big score lines though? 15 goals scored against us by 4 teams. Every 4 or so games we have one like this. Why? Progress then a setback. Progress then a setback. Why? It's baffling to me and hard to keep the faith when we get embarrassed every third or fourth game. This talk of unbeaten in 3 when its 3 draws. Or unbeaten in 4 of 6 with 1 win 3 draws and 2 embarrassments just isn't cutting it anymore. They aren't fooling me. We play pretty football at times but never for a full 90 and never in either end third of the pitch. 

But not that long ago you were posting about us having enough quality with last season's players (plus Kodjia) to finish half way..

This league is tough, we are usually competing (though admittedly not today) with teams who have better players on far more money and with much greater budgets.

I also don't believe for a minute Cotterill expected us to make just two permanent signings this summer.

Face the facts we are a small fish and are in a real fight to stay up and that nonsense from Freeman midweek (perhaps he should concentrate on making a greater contribution to games once in a while?) is best ignored.

That having said we aren't rock bottom, either and so need to stay in the game until the window opens and we can evaluate what we can get and afford.

A heavy deat at somewhere like Rotherham is definitely a potential destabiliser for any manager

Agreed but I also expected a defeat last week.

Two defeats in eight or (nine?) before today suggests to me he isn't in immediate danger but in a league where pretty much everyone can beat everyone, we need to stay in contention until January, which despite the pessimists on here, will be when our fate is decided on the basis on what business we do, I feel.

Once again Cotts refusal to use his subs is mystifying...

Eh? One made at HT, one after 58 minutes and the last with 22 minutes to go..

I don't really want a like for like replacement. I'd have Ayling in there. Better on the ball, quicker off the mark. Looks like he'd make a good midfielder alongside Smith, just maybe not as dominant in the air as pack.

So you'd play one of our first choice defenders out of position?

Interesting.

1 minute ago, Jonbristol said:

I have thought all season that Fielding and pack are our big weak links. I am looking forward to seeing who comes in for pack. 

I have bad news for you, we don't have a like for like replacement on our books so in all probability we'll be weaker next week.

It's noticeable how JET only gets mentioned when we have a poor result.

Not a peep about him last week.

He couldn't even make QPR's subs bench today, hardly seeing him as essential, are they?

Did they lose then? I was expecting their obligatory penalty to save the day for them, again.

Yep, even though their goal was, according to one of their fans "miles" offside..

Clarke in.

Not sure Bruce can moan about any of those bookings?!

He played under Alex Ferguson, so he thinks every decision should go for his team..
