Sam Bell shouldn’t be playing regularly at this level. Not ready for so much football in the champ.

We have no players! Who is playing ahead of him?

[mozo]

Cardiff don't look like a genuine top 6 side. So scruffy.

What are the alternatives?

There isn’t any. That’s the problem.

No one.

[RedorDead BCFC]

Is Andi playing today? 

[bristol red]

When I say standard I mean proven.. a few seasons been and done it and know what it’s about…

I know people will accuse me of ridiculous overreaction, and maybe that’s fair, but…

Is our season already over? Just can’t see us competing for the top 6 with these injuries. But don’t really think we have to worry about relegation either. 

Pretty much yeh.

I thought the first half today has been ok considering we've put out an U23s XI.

Need a CS level keeper… another CS standard CD, CM and ST in my opinion 

Maybe Uncle Steve has a suggestion box at the Gate?

I'm pretty confident that we're not going up and not going down, which was my pre-season expectation anyway. I guess the positive is that young players are getting lots of Championship gametime which will be good for their development 

I've got to the stage though if we get a good player coming through I now think how long will they be with us? sadly.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Anis booked

[marcofisher]

Smart to take that yellow and break up the play by Anis to be fair

More like a collection box.

[RedNachos]

Decision making is just below par from the whole squad, some of that you can attribute to youth, some of it to individual quality. The last 3 games we'd kill to have Alex Scott back.

[BCFC Rich]

How has Meite not been booked. 

[old_eastender]

that must be 6 or 7 fouls by Maitee for them, should have been booked by now.

Just thinking the same thing. Pushes, pulls, trips, it's constant.

Sensible post

If we aren’t in a position to mount a serious promotion or play offs shot , which we aren’t IMHO , even injury free , and we steer clear of relegation , then it matters little to me whether we finish 10th , 14th, 16th or whatever - it’s more about ‘Are we looking healthier and building something’ for me

Young players getting a chance , and experience , some of the younger promising players a year older , and should be a year on in their development , another year to shape the squad (If SL doesn’t stab NP)

At least 4-5 fouls given against him.

WTF!!!!! Have you looked at the depth of our squad recently? Who would you swap him for?

[marcofisher]

L1 level match atm but we are still in it! James has not been overwhelmed at all and has kept it simple.

[Red Exile]

We don't look awful. Doing quite well considering the line up. They don't look much better. But same old story, careless in possession, final ball missing.

Dispiriting mid table mush I'm afraid. 

[megansdad]

 

decent 1st half showing and unfortunate to be behind -not sure how Meite has not been booked!

 

[Malago]

Players giving 100%.  Shame about the goal, Max should have come for it imo.

Young lad doing ok, not getting pulled out of position.

[bristol red]

I am sorry but you cannot expect any different results by fielding a sub championship capable team week after week… it’s not fair on the players, manager and definitely not us fans… absolutely ridiculous situation… really surprised Nige is still hanging about… maybe waiting for the sack based on results.. be an interesting read when he has his say… £40m sales in players replaced by youth not to it.. a few players league 1 standard…

That's the plan though, always has been.

 

Sell the very very good after a season,  keep the decent to good.

The circle continues

[Gazred]

All a bit passive and by the numbers from us. Undertandable with the line up but need to up it to get anything from this.

[old_eastender]

HT 0-1. Except for getting badly caught out on the corner from which Cardiff scored, we have been the better side and looked the more likely.  Bell could have done better on a couple of occasions and like against Ipswich Andi not really in the game.

[westonred]

Although i dont think this patched up side are doing too badly there are still too many passengers out there Weimann Bell Mehmeti all not in the game.. Dickie got booked for his 1st challenge Meites now on 5 fouls and not even spoken too 

[Curr Avon]

So far we're containing them okay, apart from that lapse for the goal.

Its just our passing in the final third that's been poor apart from the interplay between Sykes-Mehmeti-Bell, with a good whipped cross to Cornick at the near post which was well defended.

Is Méïté up to his 27th foul without a yellow card? I've lost count.
