The physical direct kind of sides. From MK, Charlton, Rotherham, Shrewsbury and now Bristol. Not good sides but direct, bypassing midfield kind of sides. He has to learn from these games. If we can play football against sides we do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 What a load of pig poo They were the long ball team, smashing to that Nuhu who as an aside was utterly useless All the goals came from either beating that man, getting wide or one touch play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Old Boy Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Perhaps he's referring to the rugby club, as they're the only "Bristol" team I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another owls fan did correct him further down this thread referring to the comments made by their commentary team that we did play some good football !

ChippenhamRed Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Funny how the myth about Cotterill's style still persists.... CC seems to have a problem against the 'British' type of teams.

If we can play football against sides we do well. truckerowl, 09/04/2016 at 17:01 According to Radio Sheffield, Bristol City were playing good stuff. They may be big bastards but that's the squad that Cotterill signed. Johnson, their new head coach, does like to play footy properly. And MK Dons aren't exactly known for their direct play.

Mad Cyril Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 We must be physical. Presumably we hacked down two of our own players for the penalties too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 A case in point that comments such as "my mate supports xxx xxx and says player Y is this and that" should never be trusted. Fans like that simply haven't a clue what they are watching. Might as well stick to reading the ingredients on the back of their pasty during the game.

cidered abroad Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Brazil or Barcelona we are not. Neither are we Rotherham and lots of teams in the Fourth Division. Just sour grapes from someone upset because his team were well beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting all those crunching tackles our replacement left back put in. I`m surprised half their players can walk this morning. I mean, if you were tackled by that animal Bryan you`d likely be out for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Bristol city never try to play direct football we have never liked it as fans hence why managers like Pulis and Osman didn't last. Mk dons as much as I don't like them also try to play good football as well don't know what he's on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point Nihiu went to ground after he was "pushed" by Joe who's about a foot shorter and 3-4 stone lighter. Was a good laugh. SW weren't flopping around but they had a few cringe moments of it. They played some good quick football at times but I think they really messed up playing Nihiu. I don't know if Hooper was injured but think we'd have struggled more with him and Forestieri.

Numero Uno Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 A quick look through the highlights yesterday tells you what sort of football we like to play. But the one thing I don't mind is us being physical - that last ditch tackle Baker made yesterday......he effing meant that and that's exactly what I want to see from our boys....physicality with discipline, tactically aware and able to play nice passing football but also to mix it up and get it forward a bit quicker if the particular circumstances of the game dictates. Isn't that what the very best teams do? If Barcelona were playing a team in a Champions League Semi-Final who were useless at defending the ball in behind their back four that is what Xavi and his mates would do isn't it?

Major Isewater Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I like the fact the we adapted to their game by by playing fast ,mobile players and they ,misguidedly tried to adapt to ours by playing to big lumoxes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 TBF - This was a isolated comment on their website - a few normal 'how are we losing 4-1 to a side like Bristol, but plenty of positive comments about how we've kicked on post SC and how we play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Obviously LJ and/or the coaches have got into Flint at long last. He didn't "lump it" once yesterday. Short, simple passes all game. I was very pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
