The Official Bristol City v Birmingham City Match Day Thread

[BRISTOL86]

Very mean of whoever swapped Wes' boots with a pair of Toblerones at half time. 

[havanatopia]

Swapping him for Tomlin... great decision 

Pembo is doing everything to write himself out of the job which I suppose we should thank him for! happy to eat my hat.

what a miss by Agard.

I have read it all and in your words re SC's interviews if he didn't mean it why say it?, you can't have both ways always.

Mate...SC always complained about something...it was never his fault...bad luck, not enough players etc,etc...never graceful in defeat. You can't deny that...Pemberton has been a breath of fresh air in his interviews by comparison. Glad I don't have to listen and watch his sulking face anymore.

My particular favourite was how Colchester were well known for faking head injuries

Whats this ******* egg chasing?

 

[samo II]

Well, nil nil - not sure how to feel about that.

Charlton's result makes that game the most important game for a good long time.

Also; will be very interested in the highlights- if Kodjia was onside and the penalty actually a penalty, then we can add them to the list of terrible decisions against us this year.

Tomlin was not fully match fit, good decision by JP, you wait until he is fully fit, very good player and most of the chances in the first half came through him.

[Northern Red]

Meh.

Huge game next week.

[cityexile]

Clean sheets against Mbro and Bham. Sounds like we really should have won, but said that to often this season. Decent point in isolation, signs of life. Need things to go our way against Charlton and MK.

[Aizoon]

WTF is going on on Radio Drivel? ALL the frequencies have egg chasing

Pembo said last week that you make your own luck and wouldn't say we 'deserved' a better result.

He say's it like it is...unlike SC who always made excuses.

I preferred SC's moaning... more passion.

Oh I have a grip fella... but Burns? Pleeeeeeeease. Poor decision plain and simples.

I was talking to an Opyami  tribal chief in the Amazon rainforest the other day and he said to me , " Why do Colchester do that ? "

He just could n't understand  it .

and frankly , neither do i .

Will watch MK's game tomorrow against Chelsea and see how they do, I don't give them much chance, but you never know the way Chelsea are playing.

[Ivorguy]

A point gained but two lost

Simply not good enough to avoid the drop

Come on City we need a goalscorer

Hopefully someone will have the bottle to bring all our forwards in at 9 am tomorrow for extra practice and keep them there until each forward scores at least ten goals against an empty net !

This result in our first home game of the season would have been fine; after all takes time to gel a new side.  On the other hand all the new boys would have been match fit

I have real doubts we can overcome the shambles of the summer and the intransigence of SC to Christmas until next season in league 1

same old, same old .  City are a third tier side sadly.

[Super]

I thought we played well but fairly obvious that unless we sign a quality striker we will go down.

[Major Isewater]

We ' miss ' so much i just have a feeling that we'll miss the drop !

FFS where does 'grace' enter into the modern game? honestly pass the prawn sandwiches FFS, i'll tell you what I will wait for his post match interview, but exactly what do you expect him to say?.

1). We need a striker.

2). Referee got some key decisions wrong.

3). Should have taken our chances.

4). Result unfair.

Those fall into your category for SC.

of course he could also say some of my players may not be good enough.

I wonder if they got there in time?

Indeed

[havanatopia]

Its a big ask for Smith to save us from the drop but that is what it might have to come down to.. I suppose its a final roll of the dice tomorrow and into Monday and then if that fails its loan signing from Feb 7th. I am sure Tomlin will score for us but we for sure need firepower and fast and haven't we all been saying that for the last 6 months.

Ashton said when talking to Twentyman today that they are still trying to sign a striker.  The deadline is not until Monday night so who knows.
