Bristol City vs Blackburn

[BCFC David]

Sack the c*** so at least we have a chance. Clueless. Same shit. No creativity. Negative. I'm bored watching us.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

We've been very unlucky there.

Baker deserved to be sent off but aside from that the referee was against us from start to finish. Disgusting decision not to award a pen for Hanleys rugby tackle on Agard in the first half, just as he was about to nod in a header. Their pen I couldn't really tell, but the South Stand were more than convinced he dived. Did look that way.

 

[JJH]

Paul Lambert's magic touch continues.

If that's what you want to call it...

You looked just as poor as we did until Baker got sent off, baring in mind you were playing with the referee firmly on side as well.

Blatant penalty, stupid challenge. Just witnessed two grown men full on have it out outside the South Stand because of a disagreement regarding the penalty decision. How I fucking love this club...

Bewildered as to how we're not in the bottom 3. We certainly will be come the end of the season at this rate.

Fair enough, game was pretty much done by that point anyway

Dude what happened? Flight delayed?

Try cancelled! That meant missing my connection at Amsterdam so ended up going via Brussels which took 16 bloody hours!
As for the game, sorry but Cotts fucked up big time and then blamed Baker and the pitch (wtf??) on the radio.
Much as I'm grateful for last year, he does appear to be out of his depth and I, reluctantly, am firmly in the 'need a change' camp now.

How on earth did he fuck up big time???

Not every team capitulate when they go down to ten men? That's twice this season that as soon as we lose a player we concede goals straight away. The football's poor, the subs are poor ( put a right sided defender on the left of a back three? Move Williams back and use Bryan) I said at the start of the season this is the season that coterill will prove his worth. 3 wins in 20? Shut the door on your way out!

 

[roversfan2001]

Sounds like we didn't play that well today too. Good signs if we can win 2-0 without playing brilliant.

 

[Ciderup]

Anyone could see that Baker had to come off at half time. Even my 13 year old called it. Cotts has to take him off, it was obvious!

If he'd have moved Williams back there and put Bryan on then people would've gone mental that we only had one player over 6 foot in our entire 11. It would've been called shocking management considering how dangerous they were on set pieces. Anything he did would've been scrutinised.

He's our best defender. Cotterill would've had a word with him at half time and trusted him to be professional. Unfortunately Baker has still gone out there and let us down.

 

[Ciderup]

After the telling off for the 2nd foul, his card was marked imho. Look what Lambert did when their bloke was booked and things got a bit tasty, straight off!
With a Premier league defender on the bench it was a 'no brainer' for me.

I would have taken him off for Moore personally not JB.

It was obvious what was going to happen, he should have been sent off in the first half. I think he's let himself down, but he loves a tackle, and what he lacks in pace he makes up with positional awareness. Cotterill should have taken him off, I think everyone in the ground could see he was going to get sent off from before HT.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Ah but then everyone would've called him a fool for putting a right footed player on the left side of a back 3. Like I said, people would've picked faults with any decision he made.

Possibly but as JJH says, 'it was obvious what was going to happen' and I totally agree with him. Rather a right footer on the left than nobody there at all!
I think he dropped a massive bollock today but that's just MY opinion.

you guys clearly need a magic touch to beat us

Ouch. That is well and truly a nightmare.

But Bryan cant put a single foot right at the moment it seems.

Can't remember the last time Bryan started a game. He's not a wing back in this league, if you want to accomadate him you have to play him as a winger. Was alright in L1 where he didn't have to worry about his defensive responsibilities, but he doesn't get away with it at this level.

I'd change the system to accomadate him, he's brilliant going forward and he is a source of goals. Williams offers nothing going forward, we had no out ball on the left today. Very one sided in terms of attacking.

Where as everyone can?

 

[TTOCS]

We are in big trouble to lose at home to limited sides like Blackburn.

Plenty of idiots on the pitch today- Baker, Ref, Lawrence, Flint, Cotterill.

Smith was our best player by a long way, Freeman and Agard the worst.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Don't care until JET comes back.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Bristol City are "gou bian bian".

Bu hao.

I actually agree with you for a change. Luke and KA were utter toilet!
Cotts out.

Nobody likes a smart ass Luke. English please.

Basically, I said that we are the brown stuff that comes out the rear end of an animal that smells and likes to bark.

That's better mate and accurate as well. With Cotts in charge, we are going nowhere but down.
Cotts out.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Where as everyone can?

No but for me Bryan seems to stand out more as somebody who really is under-performing. Middlesbrough was his last good peformance, while Freeman and Wilbs are the only players I see to as done as badly as him this season. Sadly Bryan is too attacking to be a wing-back in this league. I agree with JJH's point about changing the system, for Bryan's sake, and maybe for the team's sake.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Sounds pretty grim at the minute for you lot, have a bit of faith!

Cheer up everyone, we might finish 23rd!

Yup. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he'd have taken him off and we'd conceded soon after he'd have been absolutely roasted
