Another defensive mistake.

"they've matched their Premier League opponents, just some suicidal defending on the edge of the box"

 

again ! For all the reasons I would be happy to see a new manager in, the players really don't help. Back heels, misplaced passes it goes on and on !

[Fordy62]

Just so long as we match every goal they score from here, the Johnson brigade will be able to justify him remaining.

Why did his hamstring go within 5 minutes for us, but not them 

City innit

 

[JamesBCFC]

"Bristol City will feel hard done by"

"will feel aggrieved to go behind"

"they've played really good stuff"

 

A shame we're behind but sounds like we aren't playing badly even if it we're on the back foot

We're looking strong before the goal. certainly holding our own. Tried to go forward but work cut out breaking their attack down. Think Tammy would do well here, if they don't go ultra defencive now they scored. A draw would have been fair at HT. We certainly aren't looking shocking

How is Reid playing? 

[Chairman Mao]

Johnson in??? Do the fans know what the word 'in' means?

I would've thought Sam Vokes scoring personally but each to their own

You're right. Just so long as we only lose by one. 

[BobBobSuperBob]

Bearing in mind LJs comments in the week , think it may be the last we see of Bobby Reid for a while !

Mind you , knowing LJ he will probably start the next 5

I don't know what's worse. Fans chanting "Johnson in" or Sam Vokes opening the scoring. 

#AlternativeFacts

It's an OTIB FACT that 90% of fans want Johnson out.  Therefore that chanting can't be happening.

[Reigate Red]

BBC 5 - miserable game in miserable weather !

[JamesBCFC]

14,921 there.

676 from Bristol

[samo II]

Meanwhile, over in the Championship...

Worryingly both Rotherham and Burton not being beaten as yet.  But I've been told by some on here they are both worse than us, so no worries about them overtaking us. 

[BobBobSuperBob]

We will win this 2-1 

Duric & Tammy

[miketh2nd]

It sounds like we have defended well and had a few good counters. Let's not forget  impressive Burnleys home form in the prem!  we are getting a few crosses in we need another striker on!

Maybe 90% of the fans there are chanting Johnson out only to be totally drowned out by the 10% who want him in

Well, as mentioned on the commentary; we were losing at WBA before nearly getting a win.

Imagine Tammy might get a run out of it looks like this with 20 mins to go.

Will he interested to see what folks there say; notable that we created our best chance from a cross - more of them please.

Have 50p at 40/1 on us being behind at half time but then winning !!

If they were fighting for league points they'd be out of sight.

Because we persist in playing men who are not fully fit and then act surprised when they pick up injuries?

In that case they would not have made 8 changes for the game

[Monkeh]

So depressing

Should we be worried about Rotherham against a severely weakened Barnsley side?

As it stands they have 17 points, Burton on the other hand...

Yeah never mind that we're sounding competitive, away against a solid Premier League side....it won't stop the witch hunt.

[BobBobSuperBob]

Even got Bob the dog to join 

 

[Alessandro]

90% of 500 keyboard warriors, of which have 250 have probably watched 3 games of less this season say Johnson out.

Yet there are 800 plus fans who actually GO to the game chanting Johnson In.

Interesting.
