One of those games where we don’t look up for up for it as much as anything.

I’ve posted this a couple times this season, but I’m always amazed how we do not seem to have any coherent plan to win the the game.

Yes we do, we chuck on about 5 strikers with 20 mins to go...

[maxjak]

Palmer  should be only played in Home matches, he becomes a liability in away games, and does not contribute enough....we need some physicality in midfield when playing away, and as is obvious today, we are a soft touch.  Holden is really beginning to p**s me off with some of the nonsense he spouts, it's a case of careful what u wish for ?    We mostly wanted LJ replaced, and now look what we have ended up with?

KP is a great player on his day but today he is a liability and is giving the ball away time after time Lets have a sweepstake the time of our 1st shot on target i will say 82 min

Normal service resumed for KP.

[Sturny]

Better 

[Red Exile]

That was a decent few minutes!

[sh1t_ref_again]

Thats the difference if wells had been a derby player he would have gone down for a penalty

Feel the same, are we still setting up based on the opposition or on our strengths. We’ve looked so disjointed at times this season

[Jerseybean]

Translation from the Robins TV commentary, ‘sustained pressure from Bristol City’  and ‘camped in their half’ = we spend a minute and a half in the opponents half! 

[Sturny]

Starting Rowe was a mistake, playing much better now

[Red_Alligator]

Rarely has the phrase " a game of two halves" been called for more...

Clearly so, one really does wonder about our medical team..

[054123]

I find it funny how when we’re winning there are posters who get very active, then when city put a turgid display, they disappear.

Similarly, there are posters who get active when city are shit but disappear when city play well.

I know we all love city and just want them to do well.

Exactly mate. That pitch would have been classed as perfect in the 60’s, 70’80’s and 90’s. Younger fans haven’t got a clue, 

For sure. And you'd have been suffocated by other peoples cigarette smoke on the bus going to the game, and then have people piss down your leg at the game. You'd like to think we'd moved on though!

Seriously - no of course it's nothing like pitches back then - but it's poor and no excuse for that nowadays, even with bad weather. And it's slowing the game down.

Do vision express sell the glasses that COD is wearing? 

[pillred]

We have got probably more undeserved points than any other team in the league, using that I'm going for us to take all 3 points here today.

[Peter1450]

Who’s decision to start Rowe , clearly still carrying the midweek injury 

[Ryan_BCFC]

Do they realise you’ve got to create chances and have shots to win football matches? 

[oOoOoOoOoOoO]

what a shit half, usual from us then

I think with someone like Tommy Rowe it`s down to the player a fair bit whether he feels OK to play or not

I was wearing a pair like that when I met this missus....

What does that mean? 

Its 2021. You cant use the world as it was 40 or 50 years as some kind of benchmark.

Plus ‘City haven’t had too many chances of note’ = we haven’t had a corner, shot on target or even anything like a half chance!

Looks like Ashton will have to launch another enquiry!

It’s been raining in Bristol as well but the pitch at the end of the Bristol Bears match last night looked perfect 

So you don’t think that a lot more rain and snow, can make a difference to how a pitch looks.

 

[Sturny]

Nahki dragged their keeper out but someone fluffed the pass

Holden still in charge no?

[tin]

One blocked shot from Wells is the only effort on goal we’ve had in the last 90 minutes. Another pathetic performance in what’s becoming a long line of them under Holden.
