Despite our reliance on set-pieces on pumping the ball into the box, our delivery has been terrible. No pace on the ball.
Trying to get the ball out wide again.
Its pathetic that we are so one dimensional.
Not just out wide, but to the feet of only one or two players.Originally Posted by dembethewarrior
Unfortunately for us to succeed this season, our team needs hard work and momentum.
That's gone now.
Have you only just noticed? 😄
It is basically all we've done for quite a few seasons now.
Our first 8 goals have been headers.
We just lost to a shit Bristol City team.
Just dissapointing, Moore needs support.
Concerning thing is I thought Bristol City were a very poor team.
No, we have been long ball merchants for years. We haven't JUST tried for crosses over quite a few years, it's Micks tactic.
I'm not moaning because we lost, I've been the same when we've won and draw.
The way we play bugs the **** out of me.
Embarrassing..
That is 4 points from 9 at home. A draw against Barnsley, a win against Millwall and that loss today against Bristol City. That is 5 points dropped already at home against teams that, if we're being honest, are not going to trouble the promotion places.
Lack of energy and one dimensional.
No surprise really. If we don’t get delivery into the box right and bully teams then we are a very average team when trying to try any type of plan B.
Dml and the likely lads will pull plenty of positives out of it though I'm sure.
Lets face it your glad we lost.
Other than brief highlights, that was the first time I’ve seen City play this season. Very disappointing. No invention or composure in the midfield at all.
Playing Giles on the right looks a waste of time. He looked mediocre at best today, but he clearly needs to be playing on the left.
3 CBs and 2 midfielders who offer nothing going forward seems overkill against a team like Bristol City.
Not at all.
Pointing out that we are devoid of ideas other than lumping the ball into the box isn't being glad we lost. It is there for everybody to see.
We have dropped 5 points against 15th placed Barnsley and 17th placed Bristol City (prior to their 3 points here). These teams coming and taking points off us at home are the average teams and lower mid table. If we keep losing to teams like that today then we'll be lower mid table or worse very quickly.
You were happy with that were you?
MM can't manage a game to save his life. Outfoxed again today.
Spot on.
I don't get this attitude from people, he's entitled to post his views even if they aren't happy clappy.
Of course. I dont believe for 1 minute bluelewj is a City fan though.
Wouldnt suprise me if its one of Jirgas accounts.
No sign of him after Blackpool. Any negative threads hes prolific.
Said about Giles on the right. Needs to be out on the left.
Took an age for City to wakes up (and fans) and quickly got the feeling it was going to be a frustrating day.
Really difficult to pick a MotM for us, possibly Bagan but definitely not Pack or Giles. I still think Flint has been over rated this season and today showed what he does when not scoring goals.
Ralls had his best game this year but he's clearly spent too much time under Warnock and it showed in last 20 when he wanted to be a spoiler rather than keep momentum going.
Ref watch: interesting to see new direction regarding soft fouls play out.
Think a draw would have been a fair result but the moment of quality gave points to Wurzels. No complaints here.

Three times in a row eh?
We must play in Cardiff more often.
Until next time folks.
I'm glad you're pleased. I'm sorry it's only August. That's probably as good as it's going to get for you this season. Roll on 22-23 eh?
Is that when they start their European campaign?
I don't understand this 'only comment on the game if it is a positive comment or we won' line of thought.
That wasn't great today and we scored because of a big slice of fortune. We could have played until midnight and not scored from open play.
If I was to pick any positives at all I would struggle genuinely. That starting 11 was average to bad from front to back, not forgetting playing some on their wrong side. Biggest positive was probably Colwill coming on and looking like he wanted to actually be there and do something.
