Deserved a draw but not to be, poor defending on the goals. We missed Allen when he come off the pitch and hope Kelly is okay. Dust ourselves off and move on to the next

Decent performance with some sloppy moments. Fear that Kelly will be out for a while now. Overall I think we more than deserved a point.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Caught cold at the start then bossed play and should have gone in ahead, second half was all them really as we tired and had to replace Hamer. Plenty to be positive about and Robins said we're about a month away.

Sooner we bin off Kasta and Max and loan out the like of Drysdale and Jobello the better. We need the funds

The hell you smoking. Jobello will be 1st team once fit.

 

[stevefloyd]

Shipleys faults today was bottling a tackle or 2 and totally losing his man for their 2nd goal, it shook him and his head went down but he had a good 1st half and looked lost 2nd half but cut him some slack because he had to try and fill Kellys boots.... a job too far? We will see

 

[Evo1883]

I think we will be ok this season PUSB

We’ve just got funds Wilson sale

 

[AStonesThrow]

Have to say I was disappointed with Godden second half, got in some good positions but lacked quality imo. Could be tired legs, but Walker made him look mediocre

 

[PVA]

No football since March has definitely affected us more than having to play through lockdown has affected the other teams. We looked knackered in the last half an hour.

 

[BristolCity]

We were very poor in the first half but you played very well throughout. Didn't deserve to lose.

 

[speedie87]

Having to do early sub for Kelly and having to take walking booking Hamer off cost us in end not being able to freshen it up

 

[David O'Day]

If we play as well as that for the majority of our games this season we'll be ok

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Encouraging, that. Deserved at least a point, and we'll hopefully toughen up in defence after we get used to the division a bit.

Encouraging though, we didn't look out of place.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Let’s just shithouse QPR next week instead

 

[larry_david]

First half we were unbelievable. I was so proud of us. Bristol City players were looking at each other like, wtf do we do here. We were awesome. The problem is you can't play like that for 90 mins. I hare was awesome but he and everyone else were fucked after 70 mins. We needed to be in front by that point then sit in which iis what we're really good at.

Gotta say I've got a massive issue with Hamer. Signed as Walsh replacement, he looked really good but wtf is the point in having him have to be subbed off after an hour because he isn't disciplined. To be booked after 11 mins for just hacking someone down is criminal and unfortunately we lost all momentum once he was off. It happened last week as well. Stamp that out right now

 

[skybluereeve]

Missed Hamer when he went off. Thought Hyam looked strong

 

[BigadamL]

We held our own and ran the game for long periods of time, when Dabo is back that’s another outlet, really liked how walker and Godden linked up, would of thought they would get a few between them.
Was really nervous that we would get shafted but today filled me with confidence

We knew this when we signed him. He picks up a lot of yellow cards.

 

[cc84cov]

Dabo to come back will make a huge difference

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Shipley was playing well until Allen went off

I think tiredness played a role there for Shipley - he usually lasts around 60 minutes. But, we were losing a grip on midfield before Allen came off. Losing both Hamer AND Kelly in the same game was tough for us and we lacked organisation and tightness in central midfield.

It’s a tough one for MR because Hamer’s discipline forced his hand. A catch-22 since taking Hamer off probably cost us the game, but had he got a red card, that probably would have cost us too, with the added blow of missing the next game.

You can teach discipline, talents harder to come by

 

[Samo]

Unlucky today.
Nothing to be scared of for us moving forward.
First game came a bit too soon re injuries.
Unlucky with Kelly, we would have had more sub options late in the game.
Dominated long periods of game.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Disappointing, but we're 14th in the table. Not too bad!

 

[mark82]

We were very poor in the first half but you played very well throughout. Didn't deserve to lose.

For me the difference in the end was down to you finishing your season in July and us finishing in March. We completely ran out of steam mid second half.

 

[Blind-Faith]

I don’t care if he’s one of our own, very very poor from Shipley.

There’s a reason why teams haven’t looked at him, but the likes of bayliss , Maddison and Wilson catch other teams attention, there good players.

But the general performance of others was good today , we should be ok over the course of the season

 

[MusicDating]

Reminded me of the Scunthorpe home game first one back in League One. Didn't deserve to lose and last 15 mins of first half was a joy to watch, they couldn't get near us. Get the fitness levels up and we'll be fine

 

[robbiekeane]

Gutted about that but with fitness levels and arguably a couple of our best players missing in Dabo and Rose then I think we will do wel this season.

Will be interested to see how Walker does on his own up front with Allen and O’Hare behind him if/when that happens. Not saying will be better or worse just interested to see it cause think we’ve only seen him up front alongside Godden. Godden off to a great start - 2 in 2 for him this season!

Hamer looks an absolute baller, and impressed with O Hare too. Pask playing as well as could expected out of position but reallycan’t wait to get Dabo back.

 

[Kieranp96]

You obviously haven't watched the game today

Oh I did, was a great game hamer off, and Shipley crumbled just backed off players let them go, even there goal it's his man that scored he just stood there, he is a OK player but defensively he is a liability.

We’ll get up to speed soon enough.

 

[robbiekeane]

P.S I’ve only just finished the game iFollow was fucking dog shit for me today. I think my Mexican internet is toss but worked fine last week and for some reason worked on my phone not my laptop. Wish on your phone you could lower the quality

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’m much more confident of a solid mid table finish now than I was at 3. Fitness really was the only difference and we we’re fantastic for periods.

 

[Kieranp96]

Dabo and Rose back and we'll be fine. Agreed I'd like one more CDM unless Eccles progresses.

Who do we drop for rose? Ostigard and hyam were both amazing and mcfadz is our main man.

 

[skyblues1708]

Outplayed them for large periods of game but Hamer and Allen coming off killed it for us. We looked very tired towards end of the second half. A couple more games and we will be up to scratch in terms of fitness. Dabo will make a huge difference but think we need one or two more signings.

Was it buffering or just glitchy, if it was just glitchy everybody had it.

Ostiguard will make way for Rose no doubt
