Clown defending 

[Super]

Hilariously bad.

[Andy082005]

Probally one of the most pathetic first half performances we’ve seen in a while 

[luke_bristol]

This is worse than Preston, they look like 11 strangers

Like to see Wells and Naismith on at HT.

Naismith for Williams should be a no brainer, better passer and Williams on a yellow.

Bell at CF was tried twice last season by NP, and neither time worked, not worked in fist 45 today either.

Should be 1-0 Brum, another shocking pass in a bad area. 

It is.

Nothing changes

[nickolas]

New goalkeeper please. Ruddy taking everything. Oleary couldnt catch a cold in covid times. 

[collier]

Oh well, good finish tbh.

[BigTone]

Well that's been coming

 

[The Nest Egg]

Spent those last two minutes absolutely doing us in, not a surprise that this has happened. Knight very poor to give away that corner.

Honestly didn't think we were too bad until then

I despair.

[Spike]

nevermind.... 

Great finish from Miyoshi but we gave away that corner pointlessly.

Well, now we find out how we handle going behind.

[Super]

We have zero attacking threat again.

[petehinton]

Staff - “we need Ashton gate to be a fortress”

Lord and saviours s82 - throwing paper airplanes and scrunched up paper onto the pitch 

[BritAbroad]

Cardiff have levelled too.

Has it? They’ve done nothing all game tbh. Thought we’ve looked really comfortable. 

[luke_bristol]

Booed off at half time, one of the worst performances I can remember. Looked utterly clueless all over the pitch.

It’s not allowed to be the skill of an opponent, it can only be our awfulness on the match day thread.

Naismith on agreed 

take off Mehmeti and push Bell out wide and bring on Wells 

Why he has tried Bell in the middle again - and against a team as physical as this is ludicrous

Knight was baffled by clown Cornick leaping as if to try and keep the ball in, he obscured Knight's view.

[Jerseybean]

First half thoughts we have been sloppy throughout, the player with the ball has usually had no forward options and our distribution has been poor, they have looked stronger / hungrier. 
 

James and Pring the two positives.

Didn’t you see how they won the corner? Completely avoidable.

[Fordy62]

A minute to sum up Max O’Leary. 

Excellent save followed by needless flap.

Wells is out injured?

[collier]

Got to say that we look pretty toothless going forward. Not to say we have played badly but on current balance we wont score if we played all night.

By conceding another 2 at least in the second half if the first half is anything to go by!.

From O’Leary’s inability to connect with balls into the box yes. League One goalkeeper im afraid. And to think people think hes better than Bentley!

[ChrisBW]

Playoffs having a laugh.
