[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Calm down you doris's, we are playing well, 1 miss and people wet their kegs

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Bristol City are absolutely wank. Fair play to United though, just need to hit the net... Close but no cigar so far.

 

[Drunk blade]

If this is lovely stuff we are in a fucking mess overall then.
Completely shit in front of goal and a giant fucking cart horse ambling arondbin midfield.

Think we've played well other than the end product should be a couple up, playing much better than against reading

 

[Chingo]

Jaoa would have buried that

Maybe that post has outed you as a pig … you moaning git !

 

[Il Coltello]

101% possession. Nice build up play around the box. Never really looked like scoring.

Another 45 minutes of the same coming right up.

 

[SUFCinks]

Genuinely think we played some lovely football that half. Tried to create a lot more, even shooting outside the box which is good to see. Apart from the fact we haven't got a goal that was a good first half performance from the boys!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

That's 2 wasted chances in last few minutes. Much better 1st half than whole game on Friday. It's just the finishing off that's let the Blades down. Billy the BLADE would have put both them chances away

 

[jono_t2000]

Much better display, much more fluid.

Only thing I'm wondering is are we missing an out and out striker in and around the 6 yard box.

Would be tempted to take off Fleck (not done anything wrong but protect groin injury) and put on Osula as the proper striker.

 

[Flumps]

We've played well this half with a prolific striker or two in the side we're up by more than enough in that half.

Some good 1 touch passing, getting in to positions well and Bristol barely look a threat but clearly infront of goal we have no one that can put away those chances. Ndiaye and MGW should each have a goal, they seemed to kind of snatch at the attempt and wasn't so composed - perhaps something they'll gain with experience. Even Enda nearly had one there just before the break.

Everything feels positive but its almost like there's a barrier on their box that stops us in our tracks at times.

Good first half keep going, keep a level head and the goals should come.

 

[marsh blade]

Has anyone seen much of Will Osula and is he good enough to make the step up to this level?

Like people have said if we had a striker on the pitch we'd winning already, given he's our only striking option I dont know if he's good enough to come on and pinch us a goal?

I'm with you bro ! utb

 

[robbiez666]

Better first half with no finishing touch. Their keeper is a clown. Robinson or Egan should lend him their clown shoes.

 

[bakeblade]

Playing some lovely stuff, worried we will get caught on the break though

That's what Bristol are playing for, you just know they'll get a chance and Bury it

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Why do I have this "we're dominating this and should be winning but for poor finishing, so Bristol will score and win with the only chance they'll get" sense of foreboding?

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

The lads have done well, this half.
A pity we haven’t taken one of our chances.
Some on here, need to stop moaning and get behind em.
Much better showing, than friday

 

[JJ Sefton]

Frustrating, but not too much wrong until we get into the final third.

 

[adamawdhali]

Iliman Ndiaye is very good at football

 

[Tony Currie]

Much better display, much more fluid.

Only thing I'm wondering is are we missing an out and out striker in and around the 6 yard box.

Would be tempted to take off Fleck (not done anything wrong but protect groin injury) and put on Osula as the proper striker.

Fleck has been the difference though - two lovely through balls - always moving forward. Agreed we need a striker are MGW and Nydia playing too deep. Push Berger up as number nine?

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Neil “Sheffield” Warnock.

Annoying me now. He keeps saying it as if he's trying to wind us up. Well done
'Colin', it's working.

 

[bettsyblade86]

All this game is proving is how much we've missed Bash and how we still miss Billy.

If they don't get new contracts, my toys will be seriously out the pram. It can't be more obvious how much we NEED them both.

 

[GVBlade]

Warnock: 'Sheffield need to do this, that or the other' - tosser, he knows, twat

 

[robbiez666]

The bog difference is that we're playing higher up, but it does leave us a little exposed to the counter.

 

[breeny]

Some good play so far, seems to be much more movement...not missing OMB but obv hope he gets better soon.

 

[Jan Age]

You just know it’s got Bristol 1-0 (90th minute) written all over it.

Playing well though.

 

[breeny]

Warnock: 'Sheffield need to do this, that or the other' - tosser, he knows, twat

Yeah, why????

 

[Drunk blade]

Can't help thinking billy buries both of those first half chances

 

[Bobby b]

Hecky needs to tell ndiaye and gibbs white that somebody needs to stay in the middle, if one goes out wide the other busts a gut to get in the middle, if sharp was playing hed have had a hat trick.

 

[Champagneblade]

Gibbs-White owes us a goal now.

That's another good opportunity after those vs Bournemouth. He's had the free kick which he did nowt with and another shot. Come on lad.

N'Diaye showing invention and should have scored.

Come on, one of you be the hero!

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

The amount of times a player jogs up alongside him and robs him of the ball is ridiculous. How is he so unaware of players tracking him? Do Belgian kids play with wing mirrors?

You know he’s Norwegian right?

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Where’s Ndiaye been since the Fulham away game ?

 

[e17blade]

This is the trade off… the extra midfielder gives us more creativity around the box but we lack the striker to finish it off… but if we add the striker we will lose some of the creativity.
