Same problem as the semi-final.

Too much too soon. Bristol just not confident enough at this level.

But that’s fine. This is all well above expectation.

The gift that keeps on giving 

Deary me, Gaschat is hilarious

What’s sad is that my 14 year old doesn’t understand my feelings, despite being a season ticket holder himself.

He understands that people refer to them as ‘rivals’ but it’s just not tangible to any anyone under the age of 20.

Even under 30 is a stretch.

He talks about them like he does about Keynsham Town.

One team in Bristol!

He's certainly started the season very well but steady on.

My point is, if his performance today was ‘average’, then where do you place his ‘better’ performances?

Touches of class but definitely not at peak form today. 

Peak form would be outrageous Fordy.

He would control games single handedly.

Yes excellent again bar a 5 minute spell where he got too cocky. Considering he is basically in by himself it's some achievement.

Exactly.

Its quite astounding when you put it all into context.

I thought he was average at best today. Bit naive at times and inexperienced. He was better second half, but nothing to write home about. 

Bentley motm followed by Weimann.

Disagree. The amount of times he broke up play. 

He’s asked to be involved in almost every phase of their play, so by sheer odds will always make one or two mistakes.

By contrast Weimann is afforded the luxury of 5/10 minute ‘disappearing acts’, because of Bakinson.

His is by far the hardest role in Deans system and the fact we are winning says it all.

If Bakinson was any better right now, he would be a high end premier league player.

None of our players are that.

Phenomenal display today by the youngster.

What Holden is asking of him is a hell of a lot, yet he is stepping up to challenge.

Won so many balls today and played so many settling passes.

Not MOM today and yes one or two errors, but all things in, he probably has the hardest role at present and has been phenomenal.

That man takes a wicked set piece. I used to watch him warm up our keepers and every ball was on the money.

Wasted coaching the keepers!!!!

The race for equality just ended up with needless pressure on very rich clubs to ‘buy’ their way to success, creating the same monopoly we see in the men’s game.

The unintended consequences that blight modern society.

I don't really think customer service is a top priority for the Lansdowns they've got the money so tough you know what

That would be a shame.

I hope the club empathize with the situation we are in and for those who may ask for refunds, they are not treated unfairly by the club and lose their season ticket holder status.

Of all the things going on at the moment, this one is a key indicator of how the Lansdowns view their relationship with the fans.

Quite 

Nothing unlucky about tonight. 
 

A team battling for promotion wins tonight.

Booooooooooo

really makes no difference how well you played tonight or how you can compensate for a silly foul for the goal or the sending off its still another lose.. that's now no wins in 8 games (only a few draws in there) its relegation form, cant blame the break been the same for all . we started back after the break with all players back and a few points off 6th in 7th place... its utter garbage and LJ time has finally run out can anyone honestly say they would trust him to be manager next season and get us up, would not get many....

 

Did we really play well during the first half?

No goals and no good chances.

Typical Johnson in that you can point to some ‘patterns of play’ or something as a positive, yet ultimately didn’t score a goal.

Thrown this one away through Weimann and Williams’s stupidity, but played some great football.  I hope we can concentrate on the positives rather than resort to the usual pointless Johnson Out threads.

We still wouldn’t have won.

LJ not to blame for this match. The other matches however......time to go

How astute!

He certainly isn’t to ‘blame’ for our bright first 45 as he couldn’t replicate it even if he tried.

And even if he could, we still didn’t ******* score

10 minutes ago, JBFC II said:

you going to blame that one on Johnson as well @Andy082005?

In the sense that we have Taylor Moore but he’s decided to go with Journey man Ashley Williams instead?

This the the game that's secured Lee's departure. Not because it's been bad tonight, but SL made it pretty clear that it was playoff of he's gone. 

Interesting to see who we will bring in. 

He couldn’t tell you why we started well and ate just as likely to play poorly in the next game.

Time to go mate.

All that backing and I bet he still wants to rebuild over the summer.

Let’s be honest, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Someone (maybe @Olé) posted it far more succinctly then I could, but he doesn’t really know why it works, therefor cannot replicate success at will, nor can arrest demise.

Backed to the hilt for almost 4 years.

A case study in faltering to deceive.

I’m done.

More or less has been more reliable than the news for years with its straight, unbiased look at stats. It’s coverage on Covid has been excellent, but today’s ‘wrap up’ episode is great if you want to understand how we got it so wrong.

I’m starting to understand and have sympathy for Liverpool fans.

It began to dawn on me just how unjust it would be, for this four year journey with Lee Johnson to be robbed of it’s 11th place finish.

A sickening blow indeed, but thankfully now a reality again

Yep. Completely a money decision.
