The Official Bristol City v Brighton & Hove Albion Match Day Thread

[Portland Bill]

0-2 can be retrievable......... big ask against these though.

[Gakoe]

Have faith guys! I just got a city win at 28/1.

 

[stevep38]

I'm just hoping for a Sheffield  Wednesday  scoreline.

We are 2 down, been giving the ball away to easily and dont really look like creating much. Is hard to see anything different at this stage.

We can only comment on what we are seeing mate. At the moment we started well but are 2 down after 20 mins verses a side that bangs in goals for fun and are unbeaten in 42 when leading.....what exactly are we supposed to be saying??

I get it. But the game's not over.

Brighton are a very good side, which is why so many were predicting a defeat. So why when they score is it such a surprise?! 

We know we're struggling first half and we know LJ has made some very shrewd changes this season. 

Im no less disappointed at the manner of the goals, but there's plenty of time left

[Lack of Action Man]

I surely can't be the only one who thinks GON either gives the ball away or committs a foul every 5 minutes?

[Fordy62]

I love the bloke, but Joe Bryan is having the worst game any footballer has ever had since Duffy for Blackburn. 

[Northern Red]

Bryan's having a shocker.

Based on how much football?

Based on fact that other two are poor at this level

In my opinion never had such poor goalkeepers at this level

Oh,for a Gibson or a Cashley

Based on fact of Lucic's career and he is the future.  He needs blooding before our promotion season.  These two are simply not good enough 

My opinion of course, but I see from this thread that I am not alone in my thinking

So many unforced errors...

[Fordy62]

This is as hard to watch as last seasons game.

So you don't know, I'd rather have the decent fielding who is proven at this level with us and Derby then an unproven player with just 90 minutes experiance 

[stevep38]

Just seems like they have no idea.

Exactly   All Brighton have to do is sit and wait for us to make another misplaced pass or an error, and away they go………it's like shooting fish in a barrel?   If this is a marker for where we are at present?  we are a long way from a top six side?

I think that's a harsh assessment of our keepers. If they didn't have their flaws they wouldn't be playing for Bristol City in the second tier.

We don't know that Lucic is better. Johnson sees them all in training every day, so he is better placed to make that decision than any of us. I'm willing to trust him on that one.

Think we all knew that to be fair apart from the few optimistic nutters on here

If you are right then this is a position we should be looking at in January

How on earth did we ever let Heaton go!

[Londoner]

Get Korey off anonymous

Because we got relegated and he isn't a League One keeper.

[Lack of Action Man]

Has Joe Bryan been bribed or something?

Because he wanted to go…….and we were unable to match the wages he was being offered elsewhere

[brizzlelou]

Yesterday's overall vibe on otib:

I think it's going to be a loss tomorrow. Could even be a big loss. Not looking forward to it. Could be shown up. They could seriously undo us tomorrow.

This evenings overall vibe on otib:

F@ck! Oh my god we're so sh1t! We're nowhere near ready for top six! They're picking us apart!

He has Premiership quality. We got relegated.

[Northern Red]

I see the forum's resident sad old mess is embarrassing himself as usual.

By him only having a 1 year contract and leaving at the end of it,

[Fordy62]

Paterson had looked alright. But Korey, GON & Joe have been absolutely diabolical. 

[petehinton]

Really ******* frustrating. Say what you want about the goals. It embarrassing defending for both. System doesn't work when you have Paterson constantly drifting inside or standing at CM. Nor does it work pumping balls to Abraham against two 6 foot 5 CBs. Dont give Bryan number 3 shirt and publicly laud that his best position is LB then play him left wing. Brighton are embarrassing us in 3rd gear. 

[stevep38]

It's embarrassing  how easy Brighton  have won that half. Bereft of ideas and all Brighton  gave to do is wait for us to lump or pass to them.

[cityexile]

Training game fior Brighton at moment. Not sure they had to get out of second gear. To many mistakes from us, created nothing, and to many players having really poor games.
