Sparkz 76 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 It was all about the win today to boost the players and the club quite frankly. We have broken the straw from the camels back and lets push up the table to safety. Just as well we won today with Blackburn and Burton winning.

redapple Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 For 65 minutes we were woeful against the worst team to come here all season. Shouldn't have had to come to making 3 desperate subs . Pick the right team in the right formation and start playing from first minute with that late passion .

hoxton casual Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 at last a win, and that is all we had to do was win. LJ now has a mountain to climb in the next 3 matches. If he doesnt get 4 points out of those he could be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreet Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 How we won matters not a jot . We won . ( end ) . Manner of win predicts nothing for forthcoming away games against top half teams . 4 points out of 6 agreed the minimum required but a lot of teams higher up would not have cricket scored against an energetic opposition like Rotherham. Matty Taylor looked fitter than some of our players and certainly sharper . Lee J " start the Derby game with the team who finished the game today . " this is a league where nothing is for sure . Look around you . Zola at BCFC 1 win in 10 , Allardyce imploding at CP . I know it ain't good but small steps . Callers to Radio Bristol please get real . This is a war to survive and margins are wafer thin finally respect to the 200 fans from Rotherham . True foundations of the game . COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyolly Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 1 hour ago, petehinton said: Don't really know where to start. Expected to not have to scrape a 1-0 against a horrendous team. Expected to not have to worry about Rotherham, Blackburn and Burton after spending millions upon millions in 6 months. Expected to not have to time waste from the 75th minute at 1-0 at home to a team that hasn't scored in 3 Expected to not have to see a panic treble substitution in the 62nd minute to play long ball. I could go on I think you are a bit confused... You expected free flowing football and a 4-0 win after our recent run? The team that hasn't scored in 3...still hasn't scored so what ever we did and however we did it worked? Subs...Did they not directly lead to us scoring a goal? The goal that won us the game? Disappointed is an understatement as to where we find ourselves but we have taken a small step (very small maybe) in the right direction and at this point in time I will take that.

I wouldn't say what we did 'worked'. We were ******* awful. I didn't expect free flowing, but I think we all expected a bit more confidence in ourselves after Tuesday, especially in another home game in front of our biggest crowd this season. The subs were needed because the initial plan 'a' was a very bad one. This underlines that we still don't know our best team or formation and it's February. That first half was one of the most boring and disjointed I'm sure most of us have seen in a long time. We've played 4 different goalkeepers in league games ffs. That in itself tells a story. We need to really sit up and recognise that we are right in the thick of it now. If today is to be used as a benchmark or a 'result over performance' outlook then we'll be in L1 next year.

RedM Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Today it looked like two already relegated teams playing eachother. No, perhaps that have been a more entertaining match as both were looking like they were playing with the handbrake on, scared of losing. Just shows the level of pressure the manager and players are under, to me it looked like both managers were thinking if I lose today I'm gone. But win we did , an ugly win but it was a win. Yes we played much better agsinst Sheffield Weds, but maybe we weren't really expected to win that game, a draw was more realistic, today's game was much more win or bust. Hence the expectation leading to pressure. I don't know where are next points will come from looking at our away games, but anything is possible. Forest have just beaten Villa for example. If we are doing the City of old and winning ugly, then maybe will will also do the city of old and unexpectedly beat teams placed much higher than ourselves. oh, I know people are name calling to emphasise their points, but calling someone a clown or a cretin doesn't really add much weight, probably does the opposite. Yes I know I called Wally a name on another thread yesterday (before someone finds it and throws it back at me) But come on, he is a Gashead so it goes with the territory, let's at least be civil to eachother please.

Red-Robbo Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Anyone who thinks that was the worst game ever clearly hasn't watched a lot of football.

He can't have been at Ashton Gate last season when we walked in 4 down against Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 If ever you want a demonstration of a manager who doesn't know how to make a team anywhere near the sum of the parts then you just need to watch a rerun of today's game.

No, we looked totally and utterly outclassed by Fulham in that first back in 2015. We didn't look outclassed today, but both teams looked poor. We had more possession, more shots (on target and off) and better chances. We just weren't clicking right. Midfield looked poor - Pack seemed unable to spot a forward pass in the first half and Hegeler had his poorest game for us. Tomlin was particularly below par: a few sublimely weighted passes but gave away possession more often than he retained it. When you rely on Tomlin as your creative playmaker and he's having a poor game, then you're going to get few chances on goal. It's a bit like the reliance SOD put on JET. If JET had a bad game, we lost, we had no other creative spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Worst game ever? God no. I remember as a 15 year old we were due to play in Bridgend. Lucky us! We arrived in driving rain and freezing cold, to be informed that our match referee had buggered off to watch Cardiff. Never mind. When one of the other matches had finished, the referee of that game would referee ours...but we were in for a long wait. Naturally, we sought alternative entertainment. I went off for a packet of smokes and when I came back one of my fellow Bristolians found his way into the Sports Hall, and came back with a Javelin.... and started to re enact a scene from Zulu. At the finish of a surprisingly good performance, he threw the javelin at the wall opposite. To our surprise, we found the wall was merely a Plasterboard partition....to the Welsh lads changing rooms....and yes it went straight through. Two full teams were brawling before we even kicked off... and when we kicked off.... shortly afterwards...it all kicked off again. After waiting the lions share of 2 hours for a game, our match was abandoned after 25 minutes... In terms of bad games and bad days out...this un took a lot of beating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they didn't like Tammy being subbed - but that turned out to be the right call. In the circumstances, any win will do. And we won. If the best we have to look forward to is a win with zero entertainment value they can do it in front of an empty stadium as far as I am concerned. I pay to be entertained and that did not happen today and in fact has not happened for a long time, irrespective of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
