But I thought on paper we had a great squad and all that.........really ? Shit keepers, average defence, non creative midfield and lacking goals up front. Peachy !

Warm up?

 

[Otis]

It's ok. We're playing a team near the top who're winning 4-1 next. We know full well that's the type of game we end up winning

Exactly.

Pretty confident of a win next week.

We are up and down like a whores drawers.

Or just a bad game?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Utter shite. How we can score on the stroke of half time and then hardly threaten for 45 minutes while chasing the game is beyond me. Robins tactically woeful yet again, zero bottle from the team. 308 days since we last won a league game after going behind.

Moan, moan, moan. Either take a happy pill if you want to follow City or build us a stadium

 

[Liquid Gold]

Shoutout to the guy who thought it was ok to tell the 7 year olds at half time that their dads are pedos. Man of the match. c**t

 

[Nick]

Not sure why with two strikers on the bench we waited 84 minutes to get one on. Considering how narrow we are surely just go 433

Because he doesn't know how to change games.

It has to stay in the same way as we started the game...

 

[matesx]

All be forgotten when we ragdoll Sunderland next week.

 

[mark82]

Think we need someone involved in the management side of the club who is more tactically astute, as Robins is lacking in this area. He needs some help.

If he builds it we will come.

 

[Evo1883]

Very poor today .
Made it too easy for Bristol all game to be honest .
We are a different side away from home , far too negative couldn’t tell if Doyle wanted to hold or be a centre half today .
Slow on the ball , poor movement and deservedly lost .
Sterling is diabolical

Got any spare happy pills?

Mistakes aren't a tactical decision you clown.

We have a mid table League One squad and we are ....... mid table.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

7 goals in 9 games is pathetic. Only 2 from open play and one was an own goal.

 

[Nick]

No, but trying to get back into the game after mistakes are.

Could understand if he tried to change it up to get us back in the game, predictable like for like subs aren't going to do it.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Mistakes aren't a tactical decision you clown.

What about the other 60 minutes of the game where we were utter shite with no changes to try and get back into the game? Moron. Please tell me more about how well we responded to being behind.

Please don’t point out relevant facts when vitriolic diatribes are the order of the day...

Apologies for not being delighted about losing 3-1 away at one of the worst sides in the league prior to kick off.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Atleast McNulty didn’t score for Reading

 

[fernandopartridge]

Considering the personnel what tactical changes would you have made?

Charlie's appeared again after we've lost. The fucking clown

I’d say it’s a bottom 8 side and we need to try and be too of that pack

 

[Pete in Portugal]

Omg terrible. Burge just stood there

Burge rooted to the line like statue.

I'd have made an actual attacking change before the 70th minute considering we were two goals down, get Hiwula on and running at them, try and go more direct instead of being patient. Wouldn't have played a half fit Kelly at all.

Check my post history, I was here after the Oxford and Barnsley games, big man.

Funny thung is you all said the same about Mowbray and Pressley.

yeah yeah, you fucking dipshit that went right over your head

You Villa or Leicester mate?

I agree, that should be an minimum aspiration.

Taking it game by game, 14 after 10 would be a solid start, points wise, do you think?

Dont think Sterling has got the stomach to fight in a game after the 3rd goal he did not want to know so unless he pulls off " i am injured " excuse i think Robins just took him out of th firing line as his confidence would be shot for the rest of the season

 

[Paxman II]

I didn't see anything in that Bristol side that should have troubled us. The first 10 minutes they were all at sea and wobbly. Then shocking mistakes from punted up balls we failed to deal with in wet conditions and we are 2 down. Suddenly Bristol are on the ball a bit and competing, confidence growing. Another ball falls the right side for them and they score. so now we have to say " bugger I'm not having this" yet we never seemed to get our shit together. Littered with mistakes on the ball, disjointed as though we were missing an outlet (Bayliss) and JCH showing how very lazy and ineffective he can be. Time and again JCH and Chaplin were miles from each other! Chaplin worked so hard but he needs someone who can support him. Giving the ball away and a lack of decision making simply gifted the game to poor opposition. If we have any aspirations we must sort out players work rate and application for 90 minutes.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We were inconsistent last year, despite promotion, but it was really enjoyable. Why should we turn into a consistent team in a league higher all of a sudden. Brainless expectation from some on here. Get real. Oh, and if course I want us to win every week.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Alright hard man, whatever you say

 

[Skybluefaz]

From what I've seen of Sterling. Which doesn't include today, I'm not sure he is ready for man's football. Not at league one level anyway.

Our strikers have scored one goal in open play between them this season - you keep saying poor opposition - we are relatively poor and at best will be middle to bottom half

I'd kind of agree. We were only sixth best side in the league below and have flogged our top scorer since, too.

Anyway, was Viveash back for this game...?
