Tins Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's a friendly Ffs tins has it knocked us out of a cup? Has it dropped us any point? Did we field out strongest 11? The anwser to all 3 is no We once beat Cardiff and palace scoring 4 goals and ended up getting relegated Means absolutely **** all at the moment The point is, we fielded teams that would be either starting/back up in league 1 and they lost to a southern league division 1 team. I expected our players to be more technically gifted, and to be a lot fitter as professional athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's 2-1 now! This is it for me. No Season Ticket. Walked out. Berk. I'm sure I'll be posting this word quite often during the up and coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 But what is proved is that in the first half we would loose 2-1 to Clevedon. Imagine if that was against a decent opposition! May be a lot worse. Your completely missing the point. We are there for a run out, nothing more nothing less.....result means nothing, performances mean nothing (quote SOD if u don't believe me). We were there for a run out and fOr the local community...,. As for losing to them.....far bigger and better teams have lost to far worse than Clevedon Tpwn.....

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I don't see what the major malfunction here is, we have lost friendlies to non league opposition before even in our more successful years. Lost 4-1 at FGR same season we got to the Championship play off final. 5 of our top players didn't even play did they? Fielding, Baldock, Anderson, Albert and Davies... Usual kneejerk reaction springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's a friendly for Clevedon too though so how come they can have all the same excuses but score 1 more and concede one less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a lot worse. I think you totally missing the point, for us, this is a chance to tinker with the squad and assess who of the young uns is ready to step up to the plate come August, for Clevedon it's probably much the same, plus the added incentive to their players that if they win they'll have something to be telling their grand children about, given as most would unlikely play Bristol City in the league.

JammyOne Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just got back from work. 2 - 1 to Clevedon? Tell me this a joke and in-fact we actually won by a more realistic expectation of 1-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I haven't seen any tweets from the club with post match quotes like normal. I would like to hear from SOD why Davies etc weren't playing and get an update on JET etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Performances mean nothing? He was bloody banging on about performances all last season when we lost! He also put out his strongest teams because it was more than a training exercise. Have a word. Yes we have a far better team than Clevedon, but it doesn't matter at all at this stage. The players got what sounds like a competitive bit of matchplay under their belts. If you went expecting a vintage City win my real question to you is what possessed you to go to such a tinpot game.

Major Isewater Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 On way back- 1st half keeper made a mistake for 2nd goal, looked dodgy, will be gone I assume 2nd half keeper had a dodgy kick on him but aside from that had nothing to do Back 4 in the 2nd half had nothing to do Pearson was a stand out, big critic of his but he used his size really well and looked our biggest goal threat in the second half Holloway and ajala were poor Kelly average 1st half- Reid was the standout, Great feet, good balls Burns looked alright Wynter alright when pushed forward, confused to why he was right back Aside from Pearson and Reid the rest were very average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you would expect 11 Professionals to beat 11 Amateurs no matter what the circumstances, but lets hold judgement at least until after the rangers game where i'm sure it will be taken more seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hortonred Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 As many have said some absurd reactions to this result.SOD has got a massive job ahead of him .The state of the team /academy was pathetic and he has to rip it all up and put it together again.Also he has not got anything like the funds the previous hopeless array of managers had.To think this will be a smooth ride and everything will be fine by the start of the season is naive and stupid.It will take time and patience.At the moment he doesn't even know what strikers he will have available.There will be more embarrassing results ahead I am sure but I think we have the right man at the helm with the club at last seeming to have an idea of where they are going and how they are going to get there.

foghornred Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Defense in 2nd half looked like our starting back four and SOD had a word with them all before they kicked off,result-clean sheet. Flint looks like the type of player that we need and if Fonts can eradicate those errors of last season we have a solid pairing together with the best two full backs in the division,defense sorted !

collier Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Right here is my take on it. We controlled all 90 minutes with 2 different sides. It seemed more of a have a look at players game than result game. They had 2 chances and took them both. Wilson messed up the second imo, not the keeper. The keeper tried to get it but it was underhit by wilson. First half team passed it about ok but didn't really test the keeper. Second half team much the same, but playing without a recognised striker hurt us. All in all a poor game but nothing to get all upset about imo.

dezgimed Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I am consistent with my view on friendlys to be fair, I fail to see the benefit of losing 4, 5 or 6 etc games pre season, with the excuse that it is 'just a friendly'. It is the same scenario for the teams we are playing. If our 11 pros can't beat or avoid defeat against amateurs, why would they suddenly pull a performance out the bag against our real opposition when the season starts?
