Just got back

[BS3_RED]

Well in reality I got back 20 mins ago but needed to sink a shitload of vodka to calm me down.

 

The easiest way to sum up today and this season is with this sentence.

I would have never associated the words gutless and spineless with a Nigel Pearson team, however they are the only words I can use to describe the team in his spell in charge of Bristol City. Even with a man advantage, everyone in that ground knew Cov would win that game. That says it all. Time for Pearson ( who I wanted like most) to go.

They are great. It means I can start a whole new thread without people telling me that there is already one about it.

Fair play to you for going.

Your right,pearson I believed was the exact type required, no nonsense no shirking and total commitment from his team. I have changed my opinion completely and feel guilty saying it but you can not argue that he should be able to at least put a solid pattern of play onto the pitch as a minimum with his experience.

I don't think Pearsons been well for a long time and I'm pretty sure he isn't the manager he was before,I might be clutching at straws but his health is setting him back no more so with this new COVID set back.. I can see him retiring from the game. Hope I'm wrong.

Yep, ref should have given us one early and theirs looked more than iffy but thats football. We still re took the lead and should have then pushed on.

Spot on.

We had our first penalty in a year & after theirs were 2-1 up against ten men.

I take your point but how many international caps have we got in the squad? Kalas has a few but suspect he won't get too many more.  Same goes for Odowda.  Can't think who else?

This squad is shit. I fail to see how anyone else can think this squad is any better than bottom half. However the doubt regarding NP is now starting to creep in also. Today was inexcusable, shit squad or not.

Thanks.

For a professional football team to concede 3 goals in one half to a team from the same division who are down to 10 men is unforgivable. 
There are no excuses for today.
Head coach (even though unfortunately absent) has to be held responsible and should resign.

Not good but competitive in this division - That is obvious.

It’s a fairly decent squad when all fit but missing a few vital components that is costing us

The fans have been pretty patient so far. What was the reaction like from the away support at the end today?

So you don’t think it has more championship experience than Barnsley, Peterborough, Luton, hull, Coventry, qpr, Blackburn, Millwall, Blackpool, Preston, Birmingham… wow

totally agree, this hideous result after conceding 2 goals in injury time to Forest and countless injury time equalisers, of our many shocking managers over the years, I can't remember results this bad or embarrassing

I think that's a bit hard on Mowbray. His teams always play a decent game, as we will see in two weeks time.

It might have similar experience but is that experience deserved? Every championship squad has a mix of good championship players and some journeyman types, looking with hindsight we might have had a few top end championship players and prem players propping up a squad of league 1 quality players. We have had to sell or get rid of our top quality due to FFP & COVID leaving us with some league 1 quality and now the has beens have turned up.

It's interesting to me that us and Preston came up together and seem to track each other and are now struggling together.

Let’s just say there are unlikely to be any “Full time scenes” or “Fan cam” YouTube postings from the club for this one.

Suggest no Robins Uncut either for a fortnight either.
