Is it on the sky sports app? Can’t find it
It's on the red button but I have no commentary, just annoying musicQuote:

Great first 15 mins.

Jesus ****ing Christ!

Keeper shouldn’t have stopped
Bad defending that.
A very soft goal to concede.
That's a poor goal to concede.
The ball was virtually at the feet of Phillips but instead of attacking the ball moved backwards. Poor goalkeeping.
Thank god we have fans in the stadium to make some noise...
No replay on the red button unfortunately, but it did look as though Phillips hesitatedQuote:

Why pass the ball up into their half just to pass it back and see Morrison lump a long ball up to the huge Bacuna? I'll never ever get it. Defenders can't pass it so don't!!!!
He did, it probably cost us that, he needs to be sharper.Quote:

It isn't much of a spectacle. Many Championship games have large scrappy spells where there is very little of note at either end.
Too much inexperience and lack of commitment
Moore is far to isolated.
Good cross by bacuna.. Right footed on the right.. Unlucky by young Bagan
Goal has totally flattened us
Dreadful first half. No desire and no ideas
Everywhere they gooooooo
Everywhere they go 🎵
😂😂😂
That was a fun half eh?
Not exactly Barca v Real but I’ll take it.
Still think Cardiff will probably score mind.
Only so many Dan B can stop before something goes in.
Let’s see what the 2nd half brings!
One look at the bench and genuinely don’t know who to turn to
He's clever, good technique and a good footballer but man he's slow. I've seen it in this game and others. Players literally run around him.Quote:

Giles should be doing better with his chance.
As has been pointed out Phillips' hesitation makes the chance a much better one than if he closes down the time and space rather than stopping. Flint running in treacle can't be ignored as a factor if we're being honest either.
City seeing more of the ball but it's all a bit ponderous. Nobody in the middle who really beats a man and it hurts us. Takes two touches or more before the ball is moved on or pumped forward which isn't enough really.
We need somebody to inject a bit of tempo into the game. It was a tough watch first half due to both teams doing very little really but Bristol City will be over the moon with that.
I've heard a lot of rave reviews of Giles but on this showing he is not very good; very one footed and not a very good crosser of the ball in this game at least. Their goal was down to a goalkeeping error but their keeper has made a couple of decent stops. Very disappointing so far and a dreadful game to watch.
Weve been comfortably the better side. Should be ahead.
Poor defending by Flint and poor keeping by Phillips.
Agree with this. One moment of bad communication and we're losing a game we should be winning.Quote:

It is all the more notable when it gets to half time on City TV and they show the Dave Jones team in it's pomp. It was a world away from where we are at currently, both entertainment and footballing wise.
Dont think anyone would argue he wasn't caught out.Quote:

Not much of a spectacle. We seem marginally the better team but we are relying on speculative balls. Despite our midfield actually looking good today. We need to find a way to get Keiffer more involved.
We've had a one-on-one.
A shot cleared off the line.
Bagan's header made the keeper have to pull off a great save.
We've been decent.
He seems to have forgotten he’s got players like Josh Murphy and Lee Tomlin. Does he still phone them?
Really when I see the manager speak he doesn’t seem to give that much of a ****.
If someone’s basically competent in training (which they should ALL be at this level) just stick them in at that position and see what happens. Maybe it’ll work out ok maybe not - he’s not that worried.
A Rotherham fan I know commented to me that he seems a quality player when up for it but is very inconsistent.Quote:

It seems that because we've scored goals from crosses it's ALL we will try now, every time we go forward.Quote:
