    I love how the Bristol player is a mix of being pissed off and baffled and yet still lifts his hands to support Luke's legs <laugh>

    Mowbray has not matched Neil's signings simple as that and yet another loan player striker brought in, wrong subs as well against B city, should get Alex back if he gets blew out at Stoke.

    For a start these are our football directions signings and not Mowbrays and after saying that Neil’s were the same.


    True but did you see what was available ? The timing of Stewart’s injury wasn’t ideal either and signalled to other teams we would be desperate and it was a sellers market with us.


    I disagree here, many of us would have chosen O’Nein, Pritchard Cirkin and Ekwah to come on and try and change the game.

    He left us on the eve of a game for christs sake, he was watching another team when he should have been managing us. He’s a snake and he clearly doesn’t match our new philosophy

    Disappointing way to end the match. Neil caught in possession middle of the park in the run up to their penalty and then a tired tackle to concede a penalty. We huffed and puffed our way through the game without really hitting the level of performance we have become used to. A great goal from Clarke some decent performances from Michut Ballard Batth. A young side who actually looked a little leggy yesterday which is understandable the amount of effort put in over the last few games. No great harm done in the grand scheme of things the win would have been nice but it’s still a pleasure to watch these kids week in week out. @monty987 i hope the headache isn’t to bad. <laugh><doh>. Let’s move on to Rotherham Tuesday which I’m already looking forward to.

    Thought Tone's subs were a bit fishy yday mind. Sure we ended up with Ekwah playing as a CF

    I was wondering at the time do they know each other? Ex teammates or owt? Cause Luke jumping on him luke that is strange one but it's Luke who still has the funniest goal celebration I've seen! But for the player to take it so well!
    I know you won't respond but you are the most miserable poster on here! The second the lads don't win you start spouting off about all these negatives that don't even exist.

    I'll give ya a clue neither Neil wasn't happy that he had no control over signings!

    Shows how far we have progressed when everyone is so disappointed to not beat a team that are now unbeaten in eleven games , we should have beaten them but in fairness Bristol City kept going and were very dogged . We have had a punishing set of games and some of the players seemed a bit tired and jaded so it’s not surprising that TM brought on the subs that he did , for the most part a lot of times since he took over they have worked but not yesterday.

    This is true. Thought Bristol were really decent. Tried to play good ball too. That move in the first half which ended with Patto tipping it onto the post was quality.

    When a team piles in, at the end of the game, anything can happen ...

    ... we've done it ourselves, that's why football is unpredictable and exciting. Can't wait for Tuesday now.

    I just hope we don't forget the quality of our goal because of the equaliser ... fabulous again.

    That was amazing - there were a few touches in the game where I was just loving how good our players can be.
