I'm sick of playing very well and getting sh*the results!

[super_pig]

Much of the performance was really good and to hit the woodwork 4 times is so unlucky - but the substitutions weren’t positive they were fucking suicidal when down to 10 men. Should have taken the point.

nah bollocks to the point

It’s getting very annoying in that all a side has to do against us is shoot from 20+ yards and invariably it ends up in the back of the net. Perhaps we need to look at our goalkeeper situation in January. Both Moore and Blackman seem to have a knack for being beaten from range

all of the shots have come from the same place.. just outside the corner of the box.. it’s where the gap is between the end cb of the 3 and the wb

Having now seen Fleck's challenge, it looked a soft red to me.

Yes he caught the lad on the follow-up, but he won the ball clean, and he wasn't off the ground. For a first foul it looks harsh. A yellow and a final warning seems more appropriate to me - although I will happily concede I'm looking at it from the point of view of a Blade who has seen our key playmaker get a broken leg from a far worse challenge which wasn't even blown for as a foul...

Or look at by the defenders who are letting shots get away?

There are freeze frame shots which prove that both feet were off the ground when lunging in.
So technically you can understand the red card.

The Coutts incident was different, it wasn’t a challenge, the Burton player had his foot too high trying to block the shot.
On another part of the pitch the ref gives a yellow but in the penalty they generally don’t give them.
Coutts was brave and it was his follow through on the shot that caused the injury.

..look across the city, we could be playing shit and not getting results

It's not luck tho.. Appreciating emotions high, but..

Hit bar 4 times? Poor finishing.
Ref making bad calls? Subjective ineptitude
Keeper having a blinder? Well, that's not luck, that's their keeper having a blinder.

I could go on, but can't be arsed really. I know what you and Kozzy_is_my_Dad are saying. I am more concerned that always going for the win will hand a quality opposition an advantage when we are not firing on all cylinders.

Skills.

That's physics, not luck

It's the same fucking goal again and again (slight exaggeration), wide player drifts in, no fucker marks him and he's in space to shoot. I said this after Brum, it's like we still think we're in L1 where most shots from that range end up in the stand. We've got to stop this, it's killing us.

I'm fucking sick of it. Shit results despite decent performances. United cannot and should not change anything about the way they play. I love our football.

But fuck me. Can we have a stroke of luck please? You don't have a divine right to beat anyone in this league and we should be grateful to be back after so long away. We started the season so well and understandably expectations rose. But perhaps rightly so, on merit and effort! And nothing has changed but the results have faltered.

QPR were awful, we lose.
Fulham were were shoddy at best but could've still got sumat.
Birmingham we battered, but draw.
Bristol we batter but lose after going down to 10 men.

You can't even say we've "been found out". We haven't. We play lovely stuff and it remains largely effective but, fuck me, I am SICK of long range efforts and shite results. Fulham, Birmingham, and now Bristol. That's three in around a month. It's infuriating. And then the sky pundits and their insincere fickle nonsense at the end "this Bristol City side won't go away". Oh piss off! We've battered them. They've created sod all until we had a man sent off. We've outplayed them, then hit the woodwork 4 times.

Lundstram's come in and been brilliant tonight. We looked solid with Baldock back and that's the most balanced line up we've had since losing Coutts. Duffy's been sensational, Billy and Leon have worked their knackers off and we've been class in possession. I know I probably need to heed my own advice here but kept the faith Blades, it will come. But fuck me, it should have already come before now. We play lovely stuff.

Smarmy fucking Lee Johnson Bristol City bastards with sky pundits rimming them. Not Browny and Andrews in the studio. Those insincere commentators. We were the much better side. They've not done owt to deserve to win this. Their substitutions were shite, Djuric is dire, Reid offered nothing and they can all fuck off.

Up the Bastard Blades!

Yer Dad might not get in this team, just enjoy.

Can't blame Moore, simply a good dig, yer need to look at those not stopping the dig.

 

[Tommoblade66]

That's football innit. Thought the booing at the end was directed at the ref rather than the performance

I'm CERTAIN you are correct ....... another shit set of officials !!

No such thing as luck?
It’s a view I suppose - but not one I necessarily share.

Totally agree that if we’d have finished our chances we’d have been free & clear by half time.
But to hit the woodwork 4 times?
For their keeper to have a blinder?
For us to have linesman giving us very little?
And a ref who gave things mainly 1-way?
For an un-meant pass to land right at their centre-half’s feet in the box for their 2nd?
For countless rebounds & ricochets dropping at their feet & not ours?

A lot of things went Brizzle’s way tonight that we couldn’t control. If that’s not ‘luck’, what is it?

As for that human pantomime-horse they brought on at half time, WTF was that?!?!?
Never seen a more poorly co-ordinated ‘athlete’. He looked like he was being tasered when he was running.

Hope Young Kozzy feels better for his OP outburst. Made me chuckle - I could taste the frustration

Barely pal, barely! But I needed a rant, and I rarely rant - so you can tell how bloody unjust it was! We've battered them!!

Didn’t go to Millwall
But results apart I’ve still been thoroughly entertained last three home games.
The blip will end when you are playing good football
