cityexile Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Other than Reid maybe making it 2-0, looks like our goalie has had a bit of a blinder. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/championship/10245864/brentford-1-1-bristol-city So nearly a classic away smash and grab.

chipdawg Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 1. Great goal by Tomlin 2. Reid should have scored or at least got his shot away. He seemed to be caught in two minds about whether to draw a foul, wait for support or take a shot 3. I appreciate many will disagree, but when Kodjia was through on goal, the initial challenge was a foul and it would have surely drawn a red card. As it was, the stumble was just enough to put him off 4. Never a penalty in a million years, justice was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Reid has 2 chances to slot it in before the lad gets in a good tackle. Its odd to see Kodjia stay on his feet for once. Had he of gone down their lad would have been off I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more confident we'd have won against 10 men than if we'd gone 2-0 up Albeit in the first half, Brentford showed us up at our place with our 10 men, as long as they don't roll round like they've been shot (or lie on the ground motionless for 5 minutes) I've got no problem with our players taking a hit when they could release the ball 1, 2 or 3 unfortunate moments shouldn't cost us 3 points - if we're serious about challenging even mid table next season we need to consistently create and take chances when we're on top in games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that this must have been the 1st time Kodgia has tried to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they wonder why players go down at the slightest touch, punished for staying on your feet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted April 17, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Looking forward to our own highlights so we can see the challenge on Kodjia in the box too. At the time it looked a nailed on pen, far more so than the one awarded to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Ben Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Baffling that Kodj didn't go down. Fair play I guess but it is frustrating when you see other teams benefit from players not being quite so "honest". Some pretty weak defending in places, I guess it was backs to the wall stuff, but I do like that Flint was first to the penalty rebound - great alertness. Whether Reid should have shot or not, that was a great challenge on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Looked like Bobby`s was a definite pen. He was just setting himself to stick it away when he gets clattered from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time it looked a nailed on pen, far more so than the one awarded to them. Our highlights are there now. The Kodjia one does look a definite penalty. I don't believe the Reid one was. I guess Reid is not a natural goalscorer or he would have shot long before the defender got back. I thought there's was a weak penalty but a penalty none the less. In the context of the other ref decisions it seemed odd. Our defending, especially first half, looked all over the place. Flint and Baker and O'Donnell don't seem to communicate.
