Respectfully I’d disagree with the OP Glyn. 
 

2 weeks ago v West Brom it was hugely frustrating that we didn’t make any subs until the 79th minute when the game was crying out for us to inject something to change the momentum of the game. 
 

Today Nige basically did the polar opposite of what he did v West Brom. 
 

We were by far the better team in the first half and once again we came out slow and sloppy in the second half and the opposition got on top. Exactly the same as v West Brom. 
 

When I saw the 4 changes I was surprised but actually pleasantly so. It was very clear to me that the game was going the same way as West Brom and we needed to do something to change the momentum. Stoke had began to dominate and after we’d been by far the better team in the first half it needed to change. 
 

And it worked. After the subs, we immediately wrestled back the momentum and were again the better side. Yeboah was giving them something to think about. Cornick was battling and scrapping for everything and giving their Cb’s a real hard time (in fact I’d give him man of the match). Weimann did what Weimann does and was drifting, dragging and making penetrative runs. The changes gave Stoke a problem and shifted the momentum back to us. Until we blew it at the end - and that was zero fault of any of the subs. 
 

Whilst I was very critical of Nige for the lack of subs v West Brom, I was really pleased to see how he reacted today and the early subs really shifted the momentum back to us in a game that looked like it was about to get away from us again. 
I was happy with these changes today. 

[Jacki]

It’s amazing how we all see the game so differently. I thought the subs made perfect sense…. We’d lost our intensity, especially on the press, after they pulled one back and the subs all put in a massive shift to help us get that back. With us having 2 more games this week, it all seemed sensible to me.

Of the players that came on, Cornick had the best game I’ve seen from him and Weimann gave us the energy that you’d expect from him. I agree with others who say that Yeboah just isn’t quite ready to affect a game of that magnitude yet. He’s full of running, power and pace but is miles off being an effective championship player in my opinion.

Ultimately I thought we deserved to win the game but for some dreadful defending. It was incredibly frustrating to watch.

Let’s see how we react on Wednesday - need a result as unlikely to get much/anything against Leeds - don’t want to go into the international break on the back of a really poor run of results

Play like we did going forward today and cut out the mistakes and we are more than good enough to win away at Rotherham

I actually thought Sykes tracked back better in the first half than Bell did 2nd half (watching from the Dolman). Thought Cornick was good, but needs someone closer to him to pick up the ball when he flicks on/ it bundles off his shin. Like the look of Yeboah, but wish we could keep him as a last ten substitute for energy rather than pinning our hopes on him that early in the game

First half we were pretty dominant (as dominant as a City side ever is), so not an awful lot of tracking back needed.

Very good second half after 54th minute?  We had one shot.  I don’t think one shot in 43 minutes of football can ever be called very good.  Lacked any sort of finesse or calmness on the ball: thought it was really poor 

We had 6 shots at half-time.  13 at full-time.  All 7 in the second half came after the subs.  I’ve just gone back over bbc live text. So you’re facts are way, way off.

My gut feelings say the four subs were an anger reaction & not considered.

Although of course I can't be sure of that, it certainly presented itself in that way.

 

I think there was some anger in Bell and Sykes subs.  Tanner injury, carried over from first half, perhaps?  TGH almost came on first half.

I wouldn’t have made 4 subs.

I actually thought we played well for most of the game.

I think the result is driving people’s criticism.  If they want to be critical of the result, that’s cool, I’m bloody annoyed by it too.

We weren’t playing that badly. Tanner deserved to go off, gutted McCrorie is out as we are crying out for a bombing down the wing right back. Pring gave us a lot on the left. TGH is a good player but again no idea why he is on free kicks. Naismith had to be, I was expecting Kal to take that one on the edge. Cornick did well, but Sykes was on it and shouldn’t have been taken off. I’d have been tempted even to go 3.5.2.  

Because he was carrying an injury?  Or because you thought he was poor?  I thought he gave more attacking wise today than he has all season.

At the end of the day, poor defensive mistakes cost us. The first especially, weak header by Naismith, Pring gets out-hussled and it was a terrific shot. As that stage we looked very likely to get a 3rd before the break.

I too thought we improved after the subs came on, just lacking the finishing, hopefully TC would soon be fir to start and fix that for this.

Ropey moment with the ball at his feet 2nd half sticks out. Attempted pass rebounds off their player. Fortunately it goes safe, but too casual for my liking. 
 

I struggle to see confidence in MOL presently. When he first came into the team, to replace DB, he looked very confident. Now it seems like he is almost he shrinking into his goal.

Those who have said we needed an older Maenpaa-type keeper to come in and challenge were spot on for me.

With the ball we were really good today.  Weimann looked really sharp when he came on.  Cornick really effective.  We were t that bad without it either…but boy were we punished in isolated incidents.  That was today’s game in a nutshell for me.

Yeboah is Yeboah.  With Conway and Weimann back he will probably drop back down the pecking order a bit I guess.  Good experience in this early part of his career.

It really does appear that some posters on here were cheering for joy when Stoke got their winner . Just to be negative on here.  Most bizzare behaviour.

Excellent debate about the subs . Rather looked like a great move , the game was ebbing away from us. Cornick was excellent , yet few can bring themselves to say it. I struggle with the signing, but if he is good , he is good. He was damn good. More of that Harry. Well done that man. 
 

We missed Vyner , hugely . Who would have thought that 18 months ago? 
 

We should not lose games like today, it is frustrating. But we still look like a proper side, missing maybe some quality, but we have many constraints, so we have to develop. We are. If you watch football , live football , to be entertained , we were entertained . There were stories everywhere. We do not look a joke , players work damn hard , and they care . We also play some beautiful football at times . Young players developing , getting better . That’s enjoyable . We are no longer a soft touch , a holiday club . 
 

Oh and TC is coming back. That boy is going places.

Then you really have no clue about how our club has been viewed in professional circles these last decades . How long did it take to get those facilities ?

Well, for me, the subs were good and we retook the momentum, and we never should have lost that game. 

For me, I'm not sure about Yeboah being ready yet but he can be a handful in terms of physicality. TGH doesn't look a fullback to me.

[IAmNick]

I'm sure Tanner was replaced as he was injured. He'd signalled to come off in the first half when the physio saw him and I was surprised he came out for the second. Shortly before he went off he needed to chase his man but you could see he was only going at about 70% speed. He then signalled he needed to come off.

He'd also been arguing a bit with Dickie about his starting position being (in Dickie's view) too high up the pitch. I don't know if that contributed, but it's something I've noticed Vyner complain to him about before as well.

Cornick deserves a start in one of our next two games imo. He reminds me a bit of Peter Crouch in that he never looks like he has complete control of his limbs, but in fact is deceptively skilful and good at close control. Was impressed with him today.

Dickie was ok but both he and Naismith are a risk at the back. Vyner and Atkinson would be lovely with Kal in the mid and McCrorie at RB. Big difference….oh and perhaps we will buy a decent keeper in Jan! Job done.  

Tanner won’t be a huge loss. Sykes on the other hand, disappointed he went off. He is a bright player at present for us. 

You really do come out with some utter shite.

That I was pretty much in line with it, plus that our official match day feed said at the time “Sykes appears to be bundled over INSIDE the area”.

That sort of thing.

Would like to see it again.

Ah Pring was fouled was he?

Odd how these things don't go our way..did we use a bit of a luck quota with the claims of opposition penalties v WBA and maybe Swansea.

Then you really have no clue about how our club has been viewed in professional circles these last decades . How long did it take to get those facilities ? Have you seen what other clubs have also done? How do our facilities , those that arrived just a few years ago , compare with Prem league clubs ? 
 

The icing on your cake is that you quote Swindon and Rovers. Yeah that’s the benchmark for a City like Bristol . Just with these comments you confirm why we have been a joke in professional circles. 
 

Unreal 
 

 

 

 

Typical- you miss Reading - in the Premiership a few years ago.

If you think our club has been a joke club for decades then I pity you.

So what you reckon the club made it up?

It serves absolutely no purpose for them to say it was inside the area if it wasn’t.

Just admit you’re wrong, it was inside the area.
