Popular Post Fordy62 Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 No two ways about it. We keep playing like that and we will win miles more than we lose. All over that game from the first minute and lady lucky (and the officials) were against us. We also shouldn’t forget that we’re without a whole back line that wouldn’t look out of place at the top end of the division. There really is no need to panic here. We’re slowly turning into a really good team to watch, the results will come. Trust in Nige. 71 3 3 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Agreed, similar to the Norwich game. Can’t fault the effort or work rate. Someone actually suggested a few weeks ago that the players had downed tools, not a chance. Another night we score a hatful 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Key point is they need to consitently keep performances up but also confidence levels (and Weimann and Semenyo need to get their mojo back). We're slipping too close to the lower reaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Agree with everything you’ve said, we were very good tonight (though Sheff U’s lack of pressing did suit our game). I hate only being 3 points clear of the drop though, these (excellent) performances need to become points sharpish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) True, but hopefully sooner than later.... points wise, we're on a bad run and getting closer to the bottom 3 Just need to be more clinical Coyr Edited November 1, 2022 by redrum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Bristol City 0 is the problem. We have lost our scoring touch. Our balls in are dreadful and dead balls we should just give them a goal effing kick. The three at the back did well except for being under the ball for the cross. I’ll settle later but we are the usual soft touch complaining about officials. News flash is they are pony every week, but if we can’t cross or score it’s bloody irrelevant! 2 minutes ago, archie andrews said: alot of huff and puff and yeh a bit of bad luck but most of our crosses and set pieces are pony.....

exAtyeoMax Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 who do we have to bring on instead of Chris Martin ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thing is, there’s no consistency to our performances and we could easily go to Middlesbrough and have another absolute shocker like Reading or Birmingham, rather than build on tonight. Therefore, we really need to make our good performances count when they do come. I’m so so worried about us this season.. it’s so congested at the bottom and despite two good home performances, we have just a solitary point. We can’t afford to play badly in our next couple of games or we’ll find ourselves on the brink of the bottom three. The pressure is on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Disagree with the op . We are mentally weak and our defence is awful. I still of the opinion we will be relegated. 3 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played very well at times tonight and on another day we win the game with ease. Certainly no panic yet from me although the table isn’t great reading tonight i must admitt. Teams below us are now picking up points, looking like its going to be an incredibly tight relegation battle this year and we really don’t want to be involved in it!

petehinton Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Results will come…if we keep playing that like. Issue is, we don’t really. 2 wins from 11 is very concerning regardless of performances. The consistent horrific goals conceded is a real issue now and no longer a joke or blip. Not worried yet, but I do think there’s cause for concern now. Those are two huge chances for much needed home wins missed.

reddoc Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Never looked like scoring. And bringing on Semenyo and Martin made it even less likely. Forget how many cross's were quoted first half but it was a lot. All comfortably cleared. Another single defensive error , albeit offside and the game was over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgy Red Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 We didn't deserve that tonight but i have to admit to having some worries moving forward. I think when we return after the World Cup we are going to be in the bottom 8 and it's going to be a tough second half of the season. We can't keep feeling hard done by. Results are everything.

Kibs Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 The problem is, relatively dominant performances like that are rather uncommon for City, so to say “keep playing like that and we’ll win far more….” is a bit pointless tbh, because it’s a performance that shows up only a handful of times a season. That’s the reality. Goals have dried up and confidence is starting to drain which is such a big part of it. Id love to be wrong but I think some are kidding themselves if they don’t think we could be amongst those scrambling for safety. The World Cup break can’t come soon enough. We need players back and a reset mentally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly as above Mostly because of Scott. Need James on set pieces imo and stop the short corners. New LWB on loan wouldnt hurt. Don't mind Jay, but his end product so often let's us down. Sykes isn't much better, but he had the excuse of having an unsure Tanner behind him tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepers Ball Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Not with Pearson in charge. We had a good momentum going then he goes and changes it. Wells wasn't flagging. No sooner did Chris Martin come on that was it. The whole game changed 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red22 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Worrying thing at the moment is even when we do turn up in games we still can't get the points.

City's best home performance of the season, despite the result. We just need to put those chances away. Gutted, but proud. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what he brings in an attacking sense but Id like to think we’re not that reliant on one defender to dictate our entire attacking prowess! We need to be far more versatile than that and need to know how to score without him. Teams had started to target him before his injury.
