[BangorBlade]

Fcking dire !! we're mile's of it.
Striking trying to mark their 2 keft side players BBD defending more and mid field is nowhere to be seen.
Holding looks good calm and steady.

 

[Blacksea]

Just wasted 45 precious minutes at this stage of the season,every minute of every game counts and we are tossing them away like we are 10 points clear at the top.

 

[toledo]

We've had some bad halves this season but, for me, that was the worst by a long way... no coordination, no midfield. They are playing around us, through us, under us, and above us... thank god for Cooper!!!!

I'll take this with a 1-0 win.

I won't take it if we don't improve knowing the position we are in and what we need to do...

toledo / dayton

 

[Colombia Blade]

Not a great half. Hamza looks like he's playing in the middle of a 3 at the back even when we're attacking so we don't have the numbers up front. Hopefully the plan was just let Bristol run around with it to tire themselves out so we're nice and fresh for the 2ns half!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

If Hamer not.fit enough for 45, dare I say....oh god....Choudhury off, Brewster on? Asking for a friend

 

[Iceybabey]

No midfield. Diaz not in game. Not playing quick enough.

Having said that, it could be 2-1 at least to us. They can knock it around but have zero quality up top.

 

[robbiez666]

Fairly even game. They've had the best chances but we've probably had better chances.

They've had more of the ball and moved it well but little end product. Very obvious they're playing without a real striker. We've broken quite quickly but then slowed it down again. We've also been far too casual, at times.

In no surprise whatsoever, they've got far, far too much room on our right hand side.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

These look more up for it tonight. Hope we can sort it out second half. UTB.

This is what’s making it even more frustrating….. we’re not taking advantage of this with Wilders wank tactics, and to be fair the players dire play so far……. WTAF, we’re playing like we’re 10 points ahead of third….

We’ll lose this…

 

[Shadota]

Very mixed half that. We've allowed them 2/3 of possession, but they've only conjured one significant chance from that. Meanwhile we've forced more saves from their keeper, and had one major opening where JRS couldn't shoot, which would have tipped things in our favour.

The lack of any meaningful pressure on the ball, makes it extremely uncomfortable to watch. We're basically picking at scraps, whilst giving them the time to conjure a 3-course meal.

If playing this way wins us the game, so be it. But, it currently feels like we're willingly offering up the chance for it to be taken away from us.

Their movement off the ball has been decent, but some of their passing has been pretty wonky. If we put the effort in to press them, we'd force more mistakes and likely gain more chances as a result.

 

[jono_t2000]

If we dont fix midfield and they bring their top 2 goalscorers Mehmeti and Nahki Wells on.. it's game over

 

[Gimli]

Yeah Chowdhury not been great at all

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Peck - mikes off it

Thought his first name was Sydie?

 

[knowsnowt]

Wilder banking on a special moment from one of our star players, who aren't even on the pitch.
Gerrim aht!

 

[Blacksea]

They are comfortable, they've got influential players to come off the bench and they have a plan that's working.
The longer it stays like this we just get drawn forward more and they will hit us with a simple breakaway goal in the last 15: minutes,guaranteed.

 

[Barnette]

Lots of gaps in the crowd tonight. But honestly, I am not surprised - we are a tough watch at the best of times. Its hard to get excited watching us these days. OK we might score a goal/win a match 1-0 but that's about the best of it.

 

[JayGreen17]

Again… we do not have a system that plays to the players strengths, Wilder is more bothered in how we can combat the opponents, and it has worked for the majority of the season, but more recently we’ve been found out. We cannot afford to rely on luck for the next 9 and a half games….

 

[themaninblack]

Decent game considering it’s still 0-0. Brizzle have come to play and had that one great chance; Blades have forced two good saves from their keeper and JRS should have done better. Looking forward to the second half!

Totally this….

 

[Bobby b]

Choudhary needs to be reminded that he's playing in midfield and not centre half if he doesn't freakin move there drag him off, because we're getting overrun and all clearances go to a city player

 

[Seun]

JRS has been absolutely dire tonight.

 

[toledo]

What the heck is going on!!!!

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Rak Sakyi has had his usual decent couple of spells but on the whole has created very little.

 

[Jan Age]

Wilder is fuckig thick as pig shit and so stubborn

 

[fifty shades of blade]

That japanese lad is a reyt pussy

 

[gooseh]

Saved! Here he comes......
Oh, and Gus

 

[Jan Age]

No change in midfield though where it was needed

 

[utd4ever]

Bristol city have a habit of taking points off us.

 

[Seun]

Hamer was literally right there, Tyrese

 

[JayGreen17]
