Hes lcey and beats his full back with ease. . I reckon Matty James would give hima good race ffs. Needs a decent spell out of the team as does absolutely sod all ( but hes academy so we cant say that can we!). I’m sure I read a lot of times on here that Bell is quick. I’ve never seen it. And today he looked like a slug. At times it was like he was running on a treadmill. So so slow. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

How much of it was them being woeful, and making us look good, how much was it us playing well (particularly first 20ish) and making them look poor. It always goes both ways and one impacts the other. This Quote Link to comment

In the past few decades, City would often go up north in grim conditions and get rolled over, today I thought the lads showed real guts, if not cutting edge. Yes, the culture has been well set, just like we dug in against Rotherham a little while back. 2 Quote Link to comment

TV Tom Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Just now, Davefevs said: FWIW I don’t think we looked good…I thought we looked adequate today. I sat there incredibly frustrated at some of the poor play from us, poor decision making and execution from us. So, no I didn’t think our “goodness” made them poor, because I didn’t think we were very good at all today. We had a bright opening 15 mins. Agreed it wasn’t great but how many times have we played better than that away from home this season? Quote Link to comment

This forum is a place for people to vent their feelings and thats all were doing. It may seem pointless to you but speaking for myself here, it's nice to have a playform to vent as holding it in isn't good. Blimey you will explode if you carry on like this. The future is fine with BCFC certainly a lot better than a month ago, and if anyone thinks we have taken a step backwards then football isn't really for them, we are entertaining and mobile, a few more tweaks and additions we should be fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

noize Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Doesn't look like Tinnion will be back on X / Twitter any time soon. People are upset (me included) about how Pearson was treated, the sacking of an experienced manager with prem experience, and lastly the utter garbage that comes out the mouths of those in charge. Statements like "top 6 squad", "top 10 budget", "see you when we're in the prem", REALLY annoy people. However, i do think (again myself included) that we should just accept that the people in charge talk garbage and try and move on, focusing on the here and now. We have Manning so lets see what he's about, still a bit too bit early to judge. It's so frustrating that we didn't win today, but i'm glad we are talking about how we should of won easily if we took our chances, that means there is potential with a few tweaks. I am fully aware Nigel wasn't given the opportunity to "tweak" the squad, but again out of our control. If we end up in a relegation battle then let all the lansdown and Tinnion quotes come back out in force. What i think i am most frustrated with is the "what could of been", i genuinely believed Nigel was taking us in the right direction and would get us to the Play-offs, but now we will never know. 4 Quote Link to comment
johnheadbcfc Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Cant wait for pearson to get another job so the nigel pearson army can go and support whoever he takes over, Christ there's so much season to go yet with hopefully a positive transfer window. It also feels like every goal we have conceded since Manning has been here have been individual errors rather than team performance. 1 4 Quote Link to comment

BCFC Rich Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 The thread makes a fascinating read if you start from the beginning. There is such a desperation to find controversy right now.

The first 8 pages are apoplectic that Sykes is playing left back, and then he comes out as a right wing back (playing very high in the structure, in fact pretty much a right midfielder) and surges into the box on 3 occasions in the first 15 minutes and was our most attacking player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I did have a chuckle at that. One poster even said it was 100% certain Sykes was left back, but didn't actually provide any evidence for that. Loads outraged about something that didn't actually happen Quote Link to comment
