downendcity Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 13 minutes ago, RonWalker said: Best defender, first-choice left back, two quality midfielders and best striker all out injured, does that not have any impact? Edit: Forgot we also sold our previous best defender and didn’t replace him. We've been without the best part of £30m worth of players and in Kalas, Nagy and Afobe , what would be the spine of the team. At this level, how many other teams would be able to cope with losing that many players and of that quality for as long as we have, and yet still be within one win of top spot? Yes, LJ still makes some strange and unfathomable selections and substitutions but he and the team are getting the job done, even though it might not always be pretty. When players like Nagy, Kalas and Dasilva return it will be like new signings. The big loss is Afobe, made even more so by FD's sending off, but perhaaps this is the opportunity for Rodri to take his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weimann and CoD sitters last seen headed Dundry way, Rodney's short tap-in in front of goal was headed toward The Coopers. Did their keeper make a save as Bentley was more occupied? Are you sure you actually watched the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit open defensively at time, but the last 15-20 mins we were superb Watch it back. The clue is, we weren't. But we won, so who gives a ****.

All bit chaotic...but what a pass for the winner. Wonderful stuff! I'm also sat at home tonight as been under the weather but the win has bucked me up. Should have scored more, with Weimann and Rodri missing chances, but their keeper made some very good saves. It wasn't a game where either side had control, and we gave the ball away too easily too often, but we're fourth having not hit our best all season. Season's certainly going to be fun and not for those with feint hearts or cardiac conditions. Fam out for 3 should see Rodri get more game time.

Robin-hugh-blind Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Get the f in... Was ok with the draw, did say if we're to get playoffs we need a few late winners this season in those tight games. Reminds me of a late late goal against palace in the league a few years ago.

Northern Red Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 They did a job on Diedhiou. He got his goal but they were niggling away at him the entire time he was on until he lost his rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just an incredibly tight and open division this year I think. We were 10th until the winner.

fishy Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 possibly one of the worst first half's I've seen in a long time. Win when you're playing badly is promising though. (Lucky, but promising) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best save of the night was Bentley post his error. Wholly disagree he played a blinder, we thankfully nicked a result which is all that matters but overall we were poor in the extreme.

Annoying thing is . Yes we created a couple of chances before they scored but didn’t really go for it until we went 1 down. odowda looked better in midfield after Han went off and we drive at them thats what we want to see at home.

My facts are also facts. Five unbeaten at home with 3 wins since the new-look side took shape. That suggests our home form is improving along with the personnel.

Appreciate all the injuries at the moment and our complete lack of goal scoring threat, so over the moon with any points we can scrape. On to Cincinnati With out current injury list I think it's not so much the how, but the how many that counts the most. Having said that, for a team at the top end of the table, how long is it since we last played convincingly at Ashton Gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Welch Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Can't believe I've come on here to read some negative comments. Must be some very miserable people out there. Charlton are a very decent side - we showed a hell of a lot of fight out there and Palmer and Rodri's quality had them rocking even with an extra man. Weimann's energy even into the last 10 minutes when the Charlton players were blowing very impressive too. Well done City - well deserved win.
