A small selection of comments from Brizzle fans in reaction to their dreadful display. In summary they aren't bitter at all towards us, they agree they were awful and they think there going down just like us a couple of weeks ago. Oh how football twists and turns.

In the second half we were shocking ..... no pattern to our play, no leadership .... in fact it looked like we had no ***king idea what we were doing at all.

Relegation looms, wide and black...

The club is an absolute shambles and, considering we have one of the wealthiest owners outside of the Premier League, it is shameful.

1st shot on target on 75 mins is a DISGRACE

Still, looking increasingly likely it'll be league 2 football next year. And if the season tickets work out at any more than £10 per game for that level (which I have little doubt they will do) then it's highly unlikely I'll be renewing.

Cotterill said himself: "We were abysmal today, and that's tough for me to take because I'm a winner."

MORE TO FOLLOW.
 

They've had a bad day after a good spell. Christ, they sound like...well, us.
 
I also had a look at their main forum, and the atmosphere felt much like this forum did after the Crewe game. I therefore decided to have a look back and see what people were saying after they won away at Leyton Orient a couple of weeks ago.

There the similarity ended.

They are, at least, consistent in their depression. Even having just won away against a team near the top of the league, they were very down. There was the odd "credit where it's due" but generally the view was still that the team was disinterested, that they'd been lucky to win and - where most of the focus lay - that Cotterill was the main problem.

Their view of Cotterill couldn't be more different to our view of Clough. We tend to see Clough as the bright spot when things go badly, and the hero when things go well. They see Cotterill as the cause of most of their woes.

The general atmosphere is much worse than here. They sound as if they think they're down.
 
After todays performance, theres no way they're staying up. They were absolutely dreadful.
 
What a load of rubbish from Cotterill - United did not let Bristol into the game for the full 90 minutes - it is disrespectful to say they were poor - we were just dominant in every position and the performance typifies what we have been building to for a few weeks (Crewe aside). We were nearly as good as that v Bradford except for a mad 10 minutes. Same as Gillingham in the 2nd half - they too never had a kick of any note.
The oil tanker has tuned - bring on the pigs and f*ck all this crap about Charlton. What better way to say that we are back than by stuffing the pigs in the QF on what ever day or time it is played.
UTB!

Not taking anything away from United, I thought we were really good, but it helped that Bristol were so poor.

This.

Yes, we were good, but Bristol were rubbish. And if we'd been better up front we'd have had a lot more than three. Baxter isn't a striker, so asking him to play a lone striker role is perhaps asking him to do too much.
 
Bristol were poor, particularly going forward where they had virtually no ambition or cohesion. Only when we'd gone 3-0 in the game did they have a sight of goal. That's not good.

But in truth, they weren't a mile away from what I expected from a Cotterill team. Big, strong, and cautious. Trouble was, they could only have hoped for a 0-0, which for a team of their status isn't acceptable. As soon as we scored they had to change their ways and simple couldn't.

Only one team played football today.

I am curious about one thing - we all go apeshit when morons and cretins in the media refer to us as 'Sheffield', but everyone is referring to Bristol City as Bristol.

No great lover of City, after '88 and employing that CUNT Shutt, but Rovers are barely a club are they? Easy mistake to only identify one club in Bristol.

Gasheads might disagree with that point ;-)
 
AS PROMISED:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Todays result shows the difference between 2 clubs one with a history , tradition and pride the other drifting from one crisis to another grabbing at straws no direction from top to bottom and a manager with no tactical skills.

Spoke to few Sheffield fans who all said we were by far the worst team they have played all season. ****ing fuming is an understatement !!

We were awful full stop.

"We were just atrocious, with and without the ball. With the ball we did nothing other than lump it from front to back (while Sheffield United on the other hand had two centre backs clearly extremely comfortable bringing the ball out from the back). Sadly Sheffield United did just look better than us in every aspect and it would be wrong for me to try and say 'we lost because of this' or 'maybe if we'd have done that we would have won' we were just outclassed by one of the few teams in the league that had sat below us."

I dread to think how many goals one of the more clinical teams in the division would have put past us on that performance!

For me the pluses for today was the balti pie , the great support and Matt Hill who came over to applaud our fans at the end. Good on you Matt..It would be great to have you back.

pathetic performance.

Don't want to be negative but that was shite.

Did anyone really expect us to get anything from Sheff Utd?

I hoped for a point - considering we last played a week ago and Sheffield Utd played Sunday and then midweek.
What I didn't expect was such a limp display and a hammering. They would have been tired going into today but won't believe their luck that they've won 3-0 so easily. Simply not good enough.

They're a better team? With better players? Winning their 5th game in a row?

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Not very happy are they. Thoughts?
 

Maybe we're being a bit unkind on United's performance? Our blistering start, which included several corners, could have seen United out of sight by half-time. Flynn's marauding down our right was kept in check by some determined/desperate defending and we began to get a bit over-anxious, over-hitting several passes.

We challenged for every single ball, often 'ganging up' on the Bristol players. Our defence was rock-solid and had a growing confidence to look for the right ball instead of just hoiking it upfield.

Just 'a bad day at the office' for Bristol. We all have them - we did just 3 weeks ago at Crewe. Their day was summed up by Howard's double save followed by the blast into the kop at the end.

Maybe they underestimated us? Cotterill made a big deal that they'd had a 'free week' and we'd played on Tuesday. Yes, with a team that rested key players. Bristol looked poor in the same way that Sunderland looked poor at Arsenal yesterday - simply up against a better, more determined team.

Having said all that, not one Bristol player stood out and the cheering of their replacing one of their players (Nurse Glawys Emmanuel, was it?) was just an expression at having wasted a long, fruitless day.
