And who's fault is it when we play really well?

Again look at the post I was responding to.   Without context it looks wholly negative.

Reminds me of the rhyme. When we are good we are very very good, when we are bad we are ****

Yeh. You’re right. And in other news I knew Leicester would win that Premier League title in 15/16. 

Did you,how much you win or are we not allowed to say how it is 

[bcfc01]

Reading deserve the win and we were lucky to keep it to 0-2 imo. They looked technically so much better than us, relatively easy game for them.

They had 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target, we had 5 attempts with a big fat zero on target.

Very disappointing to see such a difference from the WBA game, but not entirely unexpected.

I can't pick a man of the match for city a poor performance all round. It was such a different performance to the attacking flair we had at the start of the season. No idea how any of our strikers are supposed to feed off any of those long balls.

Incredibly disappointing today.

I don't think Reading are a better side than us, yet they've beaten us 2-0.......these are the games I find really annoying.

[Curr Avon]

Didn't we do well uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!

Am I the only one who thinks Max probably should have saved the 2nd at his near post?

Possibly yes, I’d always prefer Bentley in those positions. That said we shouldn’t have been in that position, Klose was awful when trying to defend the attack.

What a WEAK PATHETIC BUNCH OF ***** WE HAVE WEARING OUR SHIRTS no fight no passion and no care of the people who pay their wine bill we need to say **** you and all stay away( board would have to act ) cannot put a back to back shift in pathetic team with no belief and useless manager 

Yes ,

With Potch , Tuchel , Stevie G And Steve Bruce all currently available it’s time for serious thought

People need to understand that when you’re shit and you’re turning things round, everything doesn’t happen at once. Things take time. We’re inconsistent but we’re a damn sight better than last season. Our trend is upwards. 

We can’t be world beaters every week. 

Indeed. 11th-16th is where we will will finish, we simply don’t have the depth or quality in the squad to compete any higher at this level irrespective of manager in my opinion.

Remind me to never go to a game on a Saturday ever again

Was there any sort of foul potentially in the build-up to the Reading 2nd or just fair physicality. Not that we deserved anything anyway tbh.

Reasonably okay in possession, no shots on target yeah a loss was fair. We remain a work in progress.

Klose being a pussy mate. Got wrong side, looked for the foul. Rightly didn’t get it.

I actually thought we bossed the game before their goal after which they stepped up a level and started winning the second balls.

 I just wonder why all our forwards seem out of sorts all at the same time. 
 

Oh well this is the Championship. 

I think Semenyo is getting to the point where he fears an injury that would put him out of the world Cup.

I think Klose knew he was beaten for pace and attempted to get a foul. What he failed to realise is this is Bristol City and our players need to have a leg shot off to even be considered for a free kick let alone a rather embarrassing ‘ professional ‘ foul. 
 

[Bazooka Joe]

As soon as it was reported Reading were missing so many of their regulars, the writing was on the wall.

We never seem to beat a team "weakened" by injuries and suspensions.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, as usual.

I think you know what my point was. 

He played an unchanged team that had got it very right in midweek. Can’t really do a lot else than that can you?

In fairness the ref gave us loads of decisions today.

Watched it back a couple of times, the clip by Nick.Yeah looked like Klose was weak.

He should have fallen on Long, and taken a yellow card for the team.

I'm sure you were praising Pearson when things were going well, in the same vein he has to take some criticism when we are playing poorly and getting comfortably beaten by reading without a shot on target?

I’m sure the Pearson haters will be on soon,I’m not one but you have to call it for what it was today 

[WessexPest]

For anyone wondering what went wrong after Tuesday let me take that one:-

WBA are complete s**** and made us look decent.

I’m so worried about us. There don’t seem to be any stand out poor teams in this division like there have been in the past two seasons that have kept us away from relegation worries. Everybody seems to be picking up points…. Including us for now, but if we fall into a routine of playing like this, we are gonna be nervously looking over our shoulders.

Weve been playing a 5 atb for a year now. It dosent work. Something has to change. 

It won't change. NP is not flexible. He is full of himself. I think every opponent manager knows what to expect from our team. I am waiting for NP to bring something new to the table.

We have players that can play wide as Midfielders not Complete Wing Backs. He can try to play other system...is not that great. 3 at the back with Klose... I don't know. When I see there at the back I would like agile and faster centre backs. How can a Klose cover such amount of space with his granny speed.
