Strange game yesterday. We looked decent with the ball but clueless against their rapid passing and running on the break. They were so clinical too.
We've got to shore up central defence with some quality signings or well be toast.
 
Surprised you didn't use up one of your get out of jail cards for this one Roy 🤣 (sorry I can't bring myself to read this).
 
A lot of fair comments. Most of them acknowledged that it was a bit of a freak game with their finishing and our lack of from the chances we had. Got done on every single counter attack though, agree with selles that can be worked on with a better tactical understanding, we weren't always set up to counter press yet did it every time anyway and we were often a couple of seconds to late to players and therefore got cut open every time.
 




Cheers Panchero!

Some very level headed comments in there, from their fans.

We had so much possession and so many shots at goal, that on another day, the score line is reversed, and their fans seem to recognize that.
 
Can't argue with any of that , that game could have gone 4-1 either way ?
But !! We need 2 CB,s ,RB and another CDM.
It was actually nice to see us dominate a team (74% possession? ) ,their first goal if hamer had scored it we'd have still been cooing about it next may !! 2 defensive errors and haven't looked back at the game yet for the other ( can't 😱 )
I know before anyone starts !!! Go look at the match stats and just look how things have changed going forward. Will selles get it right I actually hope he does but the board need to dig deep in their pockets for a couple of quality, experienced defenders ,recruit those and we've still a chance of top 2 .

As always Roy thanks mate for your work.
 


Nope sorry mate
 
Bristol city played perfect, their counter attacks were swift and by God they were clinical, their comments are fair and honest, and their confidence that when the defence gets sorted we'll be a force, puts my lack of confidence, yesterday, to shame.
Thanks Roy
 
THEY ADMIT THEY WERE WORRIED FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO

we had forgotten that bit and focused on the poor defending
not all doom and gloom , hard to swallow but weve been here before
on many occasions
 
I actually thought they were better in the league game at our place last year but didn't take their chances. I didn't think they were that good yesterday but very clinical and took the game away from us at the perfect moment.
 
Their manager is claiming credit for seeing our weakness in preseason and exploiting it. Fair enough.

But before anyone thinks the guy’s a genius, he rattles on about our set piece threat. Which barely existed last year with Souttar, Anel and Moore. And this year simply isn’t a thing at all.

Honestly, when will the Bassett, Warnock tag actually wear off? 🙄
