Martin has the talent and ability to imitate some of the best players in the world. Unfortunately he’s imitating Lukaku atm

More like Lulu than Lukaku

Better since Williams has come on

Pearson has got to go. Hasn’t been relevant for 8-9 years now. Won what? 13 or 14? In about 60 games? Not even 1 in 4. 
 

His style of play is absolutely horrific. His recruitment has been bad. Not mixed or anything just bad. Can say he played kids but lets be honest Scott and Semenyo are can’t miss for a club like us. Probably under-utilised Benarous. Spouts shit about not protecting players but plays same shite week in week out. Honestly feel relegation is a very real possibility next season and reckon even this season we end up within 5-6 points out of it. 
 

But in the end it starts at the very top. So even when Pearson goes we’ll get another shite appointment. The cycle will never end.

Because we do not have a fit right back. In Pearson's opinion that means that we cannot play a back 4. So we play a back 3. Pearson would rather play a back 4 I'm pretty sure, but because Tanner is injured, and Simpson was shite, we cannot do that.

That is something that can be fixed in the summer. Will it transform our defence into an iron curtain, maybe, maybe not, but it should free up a man to help in midfield.

Barnsley are playing smart here though. Bit of a throw back to the high press they used under Ismael, coupled with balls into the channels between our CBs - who's confidence is fooked thanks to the early goals. Both goals were awful. 

Iron Curtain?    More likely to be a.............chocolate teapot?

[HoldenBall]

We make every small part of the game look difficult, to defending corners to simple passes.. Williams just over hit a piss easy cross field ball and we have to start over again with our attack.. it’s the small details that make this team piss poor

Just thinking that too. A bit more intent.

Cannot wait to see the queues for season tickets next season?

They have a really interesting decision to make on pricing. After 38 years I’m not bothered about renewing anymore. 

[054123]

What a piss poor half.

Unless the summer plan is sign 11 amazing players, we’re ******.

[RedorDead BCFC]

Watching through Barnsley stream and the commentator just said  “here comes Cundy”, “I’ve really got to becareful how I pronounce his name”

So you’re suggesting we stick with Pearson?

[Banjo Red]

Did they not get the get the memo about trying in the last 9 games.

Yes, at least the last 5 mins we have kept possession a bit. Martin still a complete passenger, need to get him off and either give Wells a go (he made a difference Saturday), or give Conway some game time.

[Guest]

WELL 2-2 is still on I suppose, apart from that

[Super]

For all the rubbish we have had some chances. Final ball has been useless.

That's the key bit. The club is being run into the ground in effect and whether it's Pearson or you get your wish and he goes the shitshow carries on. The owner is the big problem at this club. We will go nowhere whilst he is in charge. You are looking at 10K tops for season tickets next season. Tough times ahead.

[cityexile]

It is as bad a half as you will see, no doubt. One team playing for their lives, one…not.

Equally we have created the odd chance which we have also screwed up. All down to poor defence. 

[mossey]

Barnsley 2-0 Bristol City

Bristol City are all over the place defensively here and are let-off again as Barnsley push for a third. 

Carlton Morris ties Rob Atkinson in knots as he goes left and right around him, but luckily for the Robins Claudio Gomes' strike - when it eventually comes to him - gets deflected behind.

 

Pearson has to go! Any other manager would’ve been long gone, I know players he’s been left with, aren’t the best, but surely they should be doing better than this, ! Not even doing the basics, How many season tickets are we going to sell after this shambles, yet again.

He needs to go, use the health problems as a reason.

[Dullmoan Tone]

Let’s not forget they were better than us in the home leg - it was only their finishing that let them down!

[054123]

Absolute bullshit

[Jerseybean]

First half reflections in a nutshell, written in the style of our performance e.g. seriously disinterested.

Very poor from us

Barnsley 2 school boy defending 0 - commentator ‘Barnsley must wish they played against this defence every week’

They want it, we really aren’t bothered

When we have the ball we give it away far too often and far too easily - key sentence of first half commentary ‘that’s given away again’

We are fortunate it’s only two

I think the ref has done well

Traveling fans have been remarkable despite our performance

I would pay to hear NPs half time comments. Anticipate Wells will be introduced for Martin, as at least  Semenyo has looked a bit interested once or twice.

I agree, strictly speaking they've scored two easy goals from very poorly defended corners, but we've had by far the better chances overall.

[Rossi the Robin]

Took 42 minutes to be competitive- not good enough 

[cidercity1987]

As shit as it sounds like we've been, I've only watched the last 5 mins and Barnsley look nervous as anything and scared of Semenyo. Definitely a point still waiting for us if we can improve in the second half

[Tin Soldier]

To be fair, City have been shite for the last two and a half seasons.Relegation written all over City next season unless something BIG changes. You do reap what you sew in football and selling all the family silver is no recipe for success.

Every cross drilled sideways, try cutting back to find a man. All too predictable.

[Finley_Smith10]

That home truths meeting was well worthwhile then. Exactly the same all season

[barney999]

Martin, is playing terrible tonight, some would say for a while, has not done anything of note....
