Samarkand999 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Disappointed by the result but pretty good performance. Really think we'll be playoff contenders within 2 seasons at most (if finances don't bring us down). 2 1 Quote Link to comment

HappyClapper Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Very disappointed by the result. We deserved at least a point. However, lots of positives. The sort of energetic performance lots of us have been looking for. 5 academy products in the first 11. Another excellent display by Scott. Vyner and Kalas looked a good pairing 4-3-3 gave us good shape going both ways. Semenyo looked a handful again. Another encouraging performance by O’Dowda If this is the blueprint going forward with us gradually improving the squad then I’m happy with that. 15 Quote Link to comment

We have until recently been surviving with a weirdly cobbled together 11, with no sense of plan or structure. We now have a young, dynamic team emerging - and playing pretty well. Give us 2 good signings to bring them along, and hope that Benarous is all we dream of, and we're looking good. 3 Quote Link to comment

Some people might take comfort in a performance, but that doesn’t always win games. There are no bonus points for a spirited showing I, for one, certainly take comfort from a good performance and, as I said earlier, I thought we played well this evening; in fact, very well indeed in the first half - not bad in the second half, either, when we went down to ten men. You are correct, of course, that a performance doesn't win games, and, as you state quite correctly, a spirited showing doesn't win bonus points. Nevertheless, in a season where we appear to be threatening neither promotion nor relegation, I would prefer to watch a performance like tonight (where we gained no points) than a boring, turgid 0-0 draw. I hope you enjoy the rest or the season. 3 Quote Link to comment

Hardly bawling our eyes out. Just not making excuses like 90% of the people on here who are blaming the ref or knocking one out because the players ran around a lot The cold hard facts are is when it mattered, we made the same costly errors we’ve been making all season.

Bedred31 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Becoming 100% convinced that this is a relegation season. We play badly and lose. We play with heart, commitment and some attacking flair, and lose. Seen a few relegations since 1972. Not every one looked like this. But every one that looked like this has ended in the drop.

GlastonburyRed Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 A predictable outcome. Ref not great, but Andy King must have taken leave of his senses for that second yellow, really poor from an experienced pro. Not a bad performance overall, and battled really hard with 10 - can’t fault the lads for effort. 11v11, second half QPR would have been there for the taking (or as much as any team can be ‘for the taking’ when having the fortune to play us). On another note, Max scares the poop out of me when attempting to come for crosses/corners. Quote Link to comment
Frenchay Red Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'm surprised Adomah is not getting a shed load of abuse. Grade A **** in my book. He should have thrown the ball back to us, as is the accepted and expected restart when the ball is put it out for an injured player. (When Semenyo was injured.) But no, he throws it down the line to a QPR team-mate, setting up the play which led to the corner and their goal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Slack Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Disappointed 100%, however this game first half especially we played well. That ref had an absolute shocker. It's amazing how many times we get kicked back down by this kind of thing. I hope we keep similar play style Sunday. Tonight looked like a team of people who give a s*** and will fight even when the luck isn't in our corner. More performances like today and we will do okay(minus the senseless red) 1 Quote Link to comment

Sorry but we've played quite a few home games like that and ended up losing. A good opening 20 minutes without taking chances. Followed by losing control of the match and conceding late goals. The ref was hopelessly biased, we should've had a penalty and King was a prize turnip for getting a red. However even though there seem to be excuses it doesn't change the fact that there is a pattern there. Keep losing games to late goals and we won't necessarily be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment
