Fordy62 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 LJ is still firmly in massive credit, obviously, but what in God’s name were the tactics this afternoon? Awful, awful hoofball. You make your name playing slick one touch and then you serve up that? Why oh why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Can't disagree. Of course if we'd have got the point we so nearly got we'd say it was a decent result. But I'm with you - we needed to go there and play like us, not them. Was only ever going to play into their hands. Not saying the outcome would have necessarily been different, but why abandon everything good that's got us where we are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 He bottled it went for a point. If we loose trying to play football fair enough. Dropping Reid back into midfield when he's our most dangerous player in the box is mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williams' Penalty Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Couldn't agree more. Initially reading the line up I was firstly happy, the first thing I saw was Joe up in LM and Mags LB. But then what's this? Diony starting and Reid in midfield? What is going on there? Diony hasn't looked great coming on from what I've seen, and in a big game why decide to start him. Additionally, in a game where we could do with some good technical play, why pack the midfield and remove the technical Bobby away from where he is best. For God's sake Bobby is our goalscorer, he is proven and quality yet we are moving him to make way for a player who is on a goalless run. Bizarre. By all means use Diony as a sub, but he isn't ready to start in a match of this magnitude. The thing that I've taken away from this match was how much I miss Milan, he is absolutely class and does the job of a CF, it would allow us to actually play Aden in his actual position. Also, we really miss Pisano, Bailey again struggling to play out of position, we could do with the experience and expertise Pisano brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we are very over rated by pundits and some our own fans with regard to our brand of football. Don't get me wrong, we play some lovely football at times, but a slick one touch team with the philosophy of playing attractive football would never serve up the dog shit we produced today.

1bristolcity Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 We sold out to-day, but in a way I don't condemn him for trying something different, I don't agree with him but I won't blame him. It's a learning curve he is on, and he will take a massive lesson learnt from this,. You don't learn as much from a win as you do a loss. Thing is Warnock only knows how to play one way, at least we can play the game as to how it was meant to be, just that we shelved that to-day.

They are not there by fluke. It is the way they play. We seemed to decide we would match them, and be better at what they do than them. We were not.

We should be better than to get 'dragged to their level' of anti football though, play OUR game, not theirs. LJ should have been able to get that point across but blatantly didn't or didn't want to. I would be interested to hear his post match comments TBH because taking a Warnock team on at 'Warnockball' was only going to end one way surely?

I think they will be caught by Fulham but that’s more in hope than reality. I can’t see many catching them now in truth as Colin knows how to grind out 1-0 wins. Only good thing is looking at history all clubs Colin get to the prem (or just manages) turn to dog shite after. So can’t wait till the shit hits the fan with Cardiff.

shelts Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Pathetic performance. Have we forgotten what got us to the dizzy heights of second ? Lj was set up for a point and he came unstuck against the wily old fox Colin. 65 minutes onwards it was quite clear we was being over ran . He sat on his hands and it backfired when Cardiff scored.

Gert Mare Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 We played right into their hands today and they waited til they knew we would run out of steam and got their winner.

I like LJ but he got it wrong today, and I think we had a much better chance of a result if we'd have gone there and played our game rather than trying to play theirs, which we just don't have the personnel to do.

I think the frustration for me more than anything, was I thought first half of the season I was seeing how LJ wanted us to play, his type of team. Yes, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’nt, but you could recognise his preferred style. Today he has not had the courage of his convictions and just thrown it all out the window. We will clearly not be the only team to lose at Cardiff this year, but would have rather gone down trying to be ‘us’. Think I preferred it when LJ only had 11 players to chose from...needs to be careful not to go back to periods of last year when he was just overthinking it.
