The strikers missed sitters and the defence gave up another awful goal. Second half returned to slow tempo stuff while again missing inexplicable chances.What happened to the first half's "this is the best we've played all season" and "this is lovely stuff?"
What happened to the first half's "this is the best we've played all season" and "this is lovely stuff?"
Mostly for being so poor on the ball.Why is Thomas getting such bad marks? Thought he was ok today.
They do say the first half hour is what decides the quality of a red wine sauce to be fairWilson 5 - a few dodgy moments today.
MVE 6 - sometimes is more conservative than he needs to be and should be running at his man rather than passing backwards.
Thomas 5 - Lots of passing back to the opposition today. A really good footballer, not sure about defender yet.
McFadz 5 - Not his best day.
Binks 7 - Best of the defenders again, needed to make more of the Weimann incident and also the foul in the second half.
JDS 6 - First half he was an 8, second half he was half that.
Sheaf 7 - You can see how much he has been missed.
Eccles 5 - Why is he allowed to take set pieces? That's not his game. His game is running box to box, simple passes, harassing and tackling. We need to stop pretending and keep him focused on that job alone.
Sakamoto 7.5 - Fantastic first half, faded second half. Baffling that he hasn't been starting games in the no.10. He looked our best player.
Simms 5 - A couple of decent runs down the channels first half, tried to make things happen for himself which I don't think is his style.
Godden 5 - His all round game is lacking, but if he finished his chances today I'd feel he was worthy of starting games. He didn't so now I'm not sure.
Wright 5 - Just doesn't look that great a player. If he had only cost us 1,000,000 I wouldn't mind so much.
Ayari 5 - Not sure what his job is meant to be and neither is he.
Can't remember anyone else, started cooking on 80 mins anyway. Think Lati came on and Kitching did as well, but no rating because I was concentrating on my red wine gravy.
That first 30 minutes has given me a small bit of belief which I certainly haven't had yet this season though.
Think he may have signed a new 3 year deal this year? Let’s hope soSheaf head and shoulders above the rest when we were playing well for the first 35 mins and when we weren’t for the rest of the game. How long’s left on his contract ?
The 2nd half happenedWhat happened to the first half's "this is the best we've played all season" and "this is lovely stuff?"
We’re pushing to cling onto mid table at bestBobby Thomas looks very unconvincing to me as a Championship centre back for a side pushing for top 6. I don’t think he’s any better than McNally or Rose and certainly not Latibeaudiare.

Lats N/A
Wilson - 6 - Not much to do, distribution was OK.
Van Ewijk - 7 - defensively still looks frail, but great coming forward
Thomas - 5 - Struggled to pass to anyone in Sky Blue
Fadz - 5 - An off day
Binks - 7 - the more I see of him, the more I like him
Sheaf - 7 - Welcome return. Some great balls to counteract his 'sheafness', I.e. losing the ball in dangerous areas
Sakamoto - 7 - Excellent throughout. Knew from minute one he would be subbed at some point.
Eccles - 5 - don't care if he is 'one of our own'. He's just not very good. God knows why he was made King Of The Dead Ball.
Simms - 5 - some good work, but not in it today.
Godden - 5 - Poor today, but guaranteed to start, so he needn't worry
Not a bad journey considering how bad the M5 around Bristol can be.
BCFC fans silent throughout apart from when they scored and at the end of the game.
Disappointing as for the first 35 minutes or so we were immense. Terrible second half. We still wouldn't have scored if we were still playing now.
As was the languid tempo we were playing at.The substitutions were baffling considering we were chasing the game
Just what before summer is my recollection.Think he may have signed a new 3 year deal this year? Let’s hope so

They were.Eccles - not sure his corners were as bad as they are perceived, some fault also lies with Fadz/ Thomas etc who just didn't seem to compete
On the contrary I think they’re well justified on the performancesRidiculous how individual player ratings across the whole team jump up and down according to the result, which in reality depends on small margins in both boxes.
So if one of the shots by Simms or Godden goes in off the post (or a defender's arse), Wilson somehow keeps out their header, and we scrape a 1-0 win, you're saying the ratings for Eccles, Sakamoto and the rest would still have been the same? No chance. People would be crowing about a professional job away from home, only one point off the playoffs, and every player's rating would have been inflated by at least 1 or 2.On the contrary I think they’re well justified on the performances

I get why it happens though.
