Robbored Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 It’s that simple. Sawyers and Livermore bossed the game against a desperately lightweight City midfield even tho we gifted all three goals they were the better team by quite a margin and highlighted just much City have to improve to reach the same standard. I was particularly impressed with their pressing and also their fans who sang and chanted for the entire match. So......zero points from the two matches against the best teams in the Championship............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't create any angles, we didn't utilise any width....we didn't look like we could even get a ball under control ....then they scored and it was game over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 We know they are better than us - blindingly obvious analysis. The disappointing thing about it all is that out of the 7 goals we have let in against them, I think 6 have been down to individual errors.

But to play poorly week in, week out at home is simply not good enough. We're only where we are because the Championship is so poor this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did O’Dowda throw a hospital ball to Henriksen, what was Fammy thinking, why did Bentley display parks goalkeeper handling skills, what went through Ashley Williams head?

Simple questions, not rocket science is it? Why is everyone blaming O’Dowda for the throw in?! Have you watched it back? Whilst yes, Jay was an easier ball it was a pretty standard throw in that a championship midfielder should be able to control and move on pretty simply. Henriksen was at fault for being so slow, which he and quite a few others were guilty of a number of times today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 3 points behind Leeds at the time we played them.. only 5 places between us at West Brom.. just shows the mentality of the club, the players and some fans that we're just happy to be playing these teams.. I don't expect to win but I expect us to show a bit more fight and act like a team going for the play offs, and not just there for a nice day out and watch these big scary teams outplay us like they both did..

Yep forget the manager and the in/out debate. Everyone at the club talks about competing for promotion yet the performances were like we were playing two legs against Liverpool. Weren’t close to either team. It is the complete lack of belief that frustrates most people. There was not a single minute in the last 180 where I felt we were a threat to the opposing keepers.

I agree with everything you’ve said We were poor at Leeds and we were poor today. In fact we’ve been poor all season. Our league position has flattered us for too long. As did our Carabao cup run. Under Lansdown, Ashton and Johnson this will be as good as it gets. Papered over cracks, mediocrity football. Time to arrange some talking therapy I think. Under these clowns we’re going nowhere.

Convincingly beaten in every one of those games. and 4 goals conceded in the last two games with probably one decent shot on target in 180 minutes. not good.

The Red Planet Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 We matched them for the first 20 minutes or so, but after that we were out-classed and out-played all over the pitch. How many passes that we made failed to connect with a fellow player? At least 30 I think. Nagy was the worst offender in giving away possession. He should have been taken off earlier. Correct me if I am wrong, but we had just one shot on target today and that was Wells's dipping shot in extra time which was tipped over the bar. Forget promotion this season. Even in the unlikely event that we make the play-offs, Fulham or (more likely) Brentford will win them. A very depressing afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
