    Surely Naismith is now fit enough to return as a CB, and allow Pring to go back to LB, as he has been getting murdered as an emergency CB. Not his fault; he is just doing the best he can, but unfair of NP to keep asking this of him.

    we seldom do very good against lower placed teams when it matters? so today does it really matter!

    MILLERS 4 pts from safety with a game in hand and we cant be relegated! SO no pressure then if we lose next 3!
    CARDIFF our local derby club also a game in hand at home to Stoke pretty much sure of missing out on relegation via GD.
    today should see the relegated but not the table fight to be second sheff needing 3 points from 12 or Luton losing or drawing v midds
    EXCITING BIT is who will fill 5th and 6th ...

    WELL 2 MORE HOME GAMES AND 1 AWAY AND ANOTHER SEASON OVER WITH NO PREM FOOTBALL ... WILL WE EVER .... in my remaining lifetime!

    we have quite a strong bench for todays game, couldn’t say that in the past, multiple quality players to change the game if needed.

    Because he’s really quite rubbish. A very poor signing

    We seriously need to work on threatening free kicks as that last one was well off target.

    Was that a penalty miss by the ref, but perhaps because he had just booked the Rotherham player he decided to pass on the decision. We deserve the lead but need to stay focused.

    Imo it wasn’t a pen, but others will probably disagree, certainly wouldn’t have been happy if that would have been given against us..
    1-0 up deserved although Rotherham have been dreadful!
    I’m still not totally convinced regarding Naismith..
    Nice to see the gas 2-0 down!!! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Mike it was easier to score bloody shocking that.sat here in the ground right in front off us could not believe he missed it.
    Definitely a penalty just watched it back-their players grabbed him.

    When I looked at the penalty shout further I think that it was a bit weak.

    Our quick touch passing has been poor today, quite messy, looking more for the long ball

    Pissing around at the back has cost us a penalty against Zak. Looked similar to our claim. It's now 1-1 and we always give up a game when we are leading in a match that we have totally under control. Absolutely typical Bristol City showing up again and unless we can exorcise these demons we have little chance of improving. Cornick's shocking miss might come back and haunt us unless we get our act back together.

    Zak has generally looked good today but his fellow defenders had more than enough time to put it in row Z, but no they decided to try and look good and leave to everyone else. We are allowing Rotherham to take over and boss the game and perhaps we are setting up to give a goal away late in the game.
