[ptr]

Good punch by Dovin. Go through whoever it is in front of you. Good keeping.

Atmosphere seems like miles away. I guess now sky have so many live games they don't have the mics around the pitch for the lessor games. They also sound like the commentators are reading from a script.

Bristol City have always been shite fans. 9 times we've been here in 11 years and we are still waiting for them to make a noise.

 

[Jamesimus]

For balance, both teams have looked decent, both trying to play football. Bristol have had more possession and some decent long range chances.

Relatively even game, need to make it count when we counter.

 

[skybluecam]

Dovin takes Lati’s head off

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Torp needs to be quicker with his play. Poor

They need to do a deal to share the commentary from local radio, at least you might get commentators who give half a shit then.

 

[mark82]

Torp needs to realise he can't take so long on the ball.

 

[jordan210]

Torpe and Eccles are far to deep

 

[Marty]

Torp so slow on the ball there, could have easily been caught out.

 

[Evo1883]

Torp slower than me on the ball

 

[mark82]

That's a very soft free kick.

 

[procdoc]

Torp needs to realise he can't take so long on the ball.

I don’t think he got a shout from his teammates

 

[shmmeee]

lethal front four and we can’t get the ball to them :/

 

[Nick]

Refs giving them some soft fouls

 

[fernandopartridge]

Torp still not up with the necessary intensity

 

[skybluecam]

Toro still not quite grasping the speed of play in this league.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Our midfield is shite

 

[Winny the Bish]

Our pressing is so poor. Swear it never seems difficult to pass through our midfield.

 

[Evo1883]

We are just playing quite negative, very slow and ponderous and our movement non existent ..

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Eccles and Torp are having such poor games.

 

[ptr]

Midfield battle well and truly being lost here.

 

[Paul Anthony]

It's too sloppy and too slow.

 

[Grendel]

It’s a poor performance so far

 

[ccfcchris]

We need to improve. Fast.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Rudoni invisible as well to be fair

 

[Evo1883]

It’s a poor performance so far

It's a typical robins first half away from home , need to change this mindset to push on

 

[mark82]

Good save but Dovin hurt. Armstrong went studs up.

 

[pusbccfc]

Armstrong and the ref getting rightful abuse.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Rob Gurney to Martin Winch:

'What did you make of that one Winchy'

 

[procdoc]

Dovin very brave there

 

[shmmeee]

Dovin’s been Marosied

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Dovin saved us again.

 

[Matt smith]

MIDFIELD

 

[Marty]

That Armstrong up front for them seems a bit of a bellend tbf.

 

[Osabisa3256]

Yeah, all midfield have struggled

Eccles and torp far to slow neither are the standard required for this league
