    Harry looked a little lost IMHO and we didn't seem to have much shape.

    Ralls and Pack are little more than grafters so if he doesn't play well, we have little hope, especially after conceding first.

    No doubt about it, we started on the back foot because of Harris and his defensive attitude, cost us.

    The chances aren't really worked though, we have to move away from crosses and long balls almost all of the time, we have to mix t up, work the ball wth some good passing and movement. It's predictable and other teams will know how to defend against it. Central defenders want the ball to be in the air, that's their trade, they don't want the ball played around them or forced out to defend, It's not enough i my opinion.

    Harris picked a side which would be correct if we were playing Chelsea away, not Bristol at home.
    Yes we bossed the game and it could have been far different if we had gone 1-0 up.
    We played the 2 up top to counteract the 3 at the back. Bristol played with a back 4. I wish Kieffer Moore had more confidence in front of goal but then, if he did, he'd be playing for Burnley.

    Pack has a good range of passing and is good at getting out of tricky situations. Both he and Ralls played well tonight

    We've got 9 games in 4 weeks after the international break, so either Harris goes now or we stick with him until Christmas.

    Of course it is.

    We have decent players now that would hold their own in nearly every other squad in the Championship.

    If they can’t play together as a team then where does the problem lie?

    Lots of people on here genuinely don’t seem to know.

    Agreed but I don't think we ever got the ball into positions to work, they were quite happy to sit back which again, is why we've got to stop conceding the first goal. It is a joke how often it happens. Bacuna played in centre mid for a lot of that second half, which I'm not sure if it worked!

    Glatzel did nothing when he was on the pitch this evening. The Sky Sports commentator said that he has been unwell recently.

    Yes can’t believe Bristol city are 2nd, they looked really limited. We huffed and puffed but little creativity and inventiveness in and around the box, we get putting in predictable floated crosses

    I think Dalman pretty much said that when we signed Wilson - need to be top 6 at Christmas

    He had been ill prior to the Barnsley game.

    I think they were bloody awful but, and its a big but, they were 1-0 up after 2 minutes away from home. They didn't have to do much else after.

    I wouldn't say they had bad games, they did okay, but I cant see how you think they played well.
    BC defended for most of the game so the onus was on our midfield to create chances.

    As I said, you know exactly what you are going to get with these two and it is not a barrage of defence splitting passes.

    I was hoping he would just do what his brother did the other week and take the game by the scruff of the neck.
    but nah, his touches were just, well just.....

    The goal came because we were caught out by having both wingers so far up the pitch that they couldn't play their part defensively - we certainly didn't concede that goal because we were too defensive.

    His confidence looks shot to pieces.

    He seems to have lost his pace

    The funniest thing about the Sky commentary was the Pack worshipping in the first half. They made him sound like Messi...

    He drops so far back he could play in goal, he slows the game down more the Pogba and he can’t (under-weights constantly) pass.

    Should never start again

    Unbelievably they are now 2nd in the League! And Kallas won man of the match for being awful.

    Did Glatzel ever touch the ball after coming on? And Bacuna!!!

    Out of interest, who would you give it to?

    Our defence and keeper - conceded a goal
    Our midfield - honours even
    Our forward players - our finishing wasn't good enough

    Their defence - They limited us to mostly half chances but we had 3 or 4 of those
    Their midfield - honours even
    Their forwards - apart from scoring once (all you need), what else did they do?

    It's either one of their defenders of their keeper. Sky went for one of their defenders but I think we had too much space from corners in first half for them to be happy whereas their keeper won't be shown any negative footage when they review the game.
