Wouldn’t be too disappointed if he was replaced in January but not sure how easy that’d be. To be fair, coming on for a few minutes every now and then won't be of any help to him (or any other player). But it was a pointless substitution imo. Better team lost tonight, it happens.

Despite 2 knee replacements she's pretty mobile for a 66 year old so would seem a like for like replacement. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Red_Alligator Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Times continue to be pretty tough for us and to us. Tonight was most definitely "not our night", but Ashton Gate must become a tougher place for opponents to visit. Still 100% behind NP and his team. Just tired, cold and a bit damp. Heyho. 1 Quote Link to comment
marcofisher Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 We’ve had two good performances against playoff teams. We will pick up points against the lower teams now that the table is starting to resemble what people expect. Quote Link to comment

Lew-T Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hate to say it but Sheff did a job on us. The officials were poor and inconsistent but this is the exact sort of game where we come up short and it’s happened again. The experience and physicality lacking. Quote Link to comment

Vicious circle. 4 Quote Link to comment

Mihai Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Poor comentary from Sky, I am like fuking exploding of anger. This Sheffield United I hope they go up do same as Forrest spending and then going bankrupt...they are a disgrace, a mess of a team. They think a team promote like that ?, Wasting time since min 55. About our play: It was a good looking build up play most of the time apart from crosses. Some players showed good quality, Tanner was very good even Pring. It was a game that we couldn't win becuse the Karma wanted to not win. Everything was against us this night, and the officials also, with that CLEAR OFFSIDE goal. How can a stupid line man think if he doesn't touch that ball he is not activating the offside position.... FIRE HIM or send him to Vannarama. You have to admit that playing from the back, short passes, trying to build up, moving faster across the pitch suits our players better, if we play this system we will get wins eventually. But we must send Martin to the second team, he has no business to Play in Championship anymore. The relegation positions are close but I don't think we will go there. We have quality players and if Nigel makes them move on the pitch like tonight, we will get enough wins. **** SHEFFIELD, they are on my blacklist now hope they fall from top 6 soon.

ciderwithtommy Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 The ref was shit - no doubt. But we are still not streetwise enough. We don’t “get in” the ear of the ref enough, and that matters. When basham was getting treatment Robinson was in the refs ear, pointing out all the things he thought were wrong, ref was smiling and had a little cuddle before it restarted. Things like this matter. We need to influence more, and moan less. Frustrating and yet again we have officials who imo lost control of the game. the offside was blatant, sharp knew. also - the ref was always ok to book a player, but didn’t want to know once any of their lads had been booked. I hope he reads this (minimal chance haha) cos he is a spineless weasel. Quote Link to comment
RedM Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I feel more gutted to have lost today than pretty much any of our other losses. We didn't deserve that result tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment

That was incredibly frustrating to watch; very sore to have lost that as they barely created anything all night. We hit post and bar and had other near misses as well. Pretty decent display despite losing. Lost our heads in stoppage time though. Another stonewall pen turned down. What do we have to do to be awarded a spot-kick? Hardly a stonewall penalty. Looked 50:50 on Sky. Quote Link to comment

Disgrace of a team, I almost felt bad (only in that moment) that Tanner didn't put that guy out of football for 6 months. I am happy it didn't happened but that much hate I had towards them in that moment... Football can take out the worst from the fans haha... 1 Quote Link to comment

prankerd Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I knew as soon as we had dominated that first half and it was still nil nil we were going to get done over in the 2nd half, its going to be such a frustrating season, especially when we are playing so well and still not getting a result.
