It seemed he felt he was better than us when he was here. He was though, to be fair. And to be fair at the time you’re looking at a club who’s admin was so shit that he was even able to walk away on a free Seems a strange game where some call us winners and some agree with Liam. Personally I had it as a score draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I thought we showed again a really good resilience and character to come back. They get a penalty, we respond really well and get two goals and in that moment, and in the second half especially, we felt we controlled the game in our shape and with the ball. "But for two really really poor moments we end up losing the game. No mention of a penalty for his side tthat was a complete joke. Awwww Liam , Bristol born and bred, but he always manages to have a little dig doesn't he? 3 points mate, we'll take the 3 points. Yes Hull fans singing we saw you crying on wembley way well tonight they were crying at Ashton Gate . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNQ Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Roseniors comments after their recent loss to WBA 3-1 (Hull, like last night also had less shots than their opponents).. He’s a tosser.. Hull manager Liam Rosenior told BBC Radio Humberside: "It's always horrible, especially when you lose a game in the manner that we did. We gift-wrapped the game to them. "For 90% of the game we were the better team but in the 10% where we switch off and make errors and don't do professional things, that's what won them the game. "We've gone toe to toe with a very good team, dominated certain areas but gifted goals at crucial times. "(Seri) has made a mistake and will hold his hands up and I will hold my hands up because I'm asking the players to play that way - I believe in it. "In fact, playing that way gets us back in the game and we took complete control, Lewie scored a fantastic goal and for a 15-minute spell in the second half we were completely on top." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player for player nobody looks at us and thinks "wow" and many managers are probably confident their lads can turn ours over going into any individual game yet we are that annoying wasp like team that you rarely go two ahead against..........so we are always competing in pretty much every game. We do pick up plenty of results where the stats (I get it, game not decided by stats before anyone gets upset) indicate we were weren't the better side on the day. I would have thought we are seen by our competitors as "decent players throughout with a couple of good players, never an easy game, committed opposition, lot of resilience, stay in games they have no right to, average championship quality side overall". No manager likes losing to "that" side. We wouldn't if the boot was on the other foot and it was us with the extra quality and "that" side turned us over. I would suggest there isn't a Championship manager who sees us as "little old Bristol City" though, not one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree , but uno this is Bristol city , I have been watching city from about the age of 10 just before we got to the old first division even then we seem to be on a rollercoaster in games , the only period I can remember being very comfortable at the gate knowing we would score 234 and breeze through the game or go behind and come back to win easily was the double winning season under cotterill, even under Johnson senior we always seemed to be chasing the game and scored a fair few late winners , a nice 3 or 4 nil would be nice though I agree but I also think unless you are a top two side the nature of the championship just doesn’t allow for teams to totally dominate games , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) If they were in total control why was the possession equal we had more shots than them more shots on target than them more corners than them oh and more goals than them if that’s total control he’s lost me 2 very evenly matched sides and by the way I think Hull are a very decent side Edited December 23, 2023 by redkev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were given a penalty for NOTHING. Can't remember Max having much to do. He was making it sound like a robbery, it wasn't at all. Hey, if you think we were lucky, how can i argue. Agree to disagree mate They were in total control at the point they scored 2 goals. Yes the pen shouldn’t have been given but no manager has ever come out and said “we shouldn’t have been given the penalty”. Regardless of that, they were in control of the game at that point. It was a funny game in that both teams had periods of dominance. It wasn’t an end to end game. They took chances when in top, as did we. Not really sure what you’d expect Rosenior to say? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I never felt they had control of the game, you could see there tidy on the ball and are a good side but for example we were winning the ball back and breaking quickly on hull in transition. I felt they played quickly and looked to go from back to front quick. They didn't have a great deal of shots on target either and when you look at possession stats its 51 to them and 49 to us. The sunderland game I'd say they controlled the game especially when we went a goal up. Edited December 23, 2023 by BCFC31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Hull fans are blaming their goalies, but I'd say the difference was that we - as the managerial cliche always puts it - dug deep and just outfought them. They were a skillful side and well-drilled. Most of their players had very good touch on the ball and combined for some slick interplay, but collectively Hull sat back for far too long after their (ludicrous) penalty and paid the price for lack of desire. We simply wanted the win more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
