    Only positive we didn’t lose.
    So slow again really disappointing performance.
    Greaves isn’t a left back
    McLoughlin was poor tonight
    Slater looks lost
    Traore isn’t a winger
    Twine anonymous
    Disappointing

    Think we shaded it. Don't understand why we don't show anything until they equalise though.

    I think a draw a fair result, we certainly had chances in the 2nd half, but this time Aaron couldn't take them. Macca is definitely the weak link defensively, always makes me nervous when he is on the ball, I think we need to see Greaves move in to the centre when Vinagre is back. Nevertheless, respect the point and move on.

    I have to say I would be happy for us not to get Philogene, Davis, or the extra winger if we got someone who can stop the opposition running through us but suspect it ain't going to happen. I like Slater but agree he's not a CDM (nor in my opinion is Seri). The idea that we'll get anywhere near promotion with those 2 as our central midfielders feels pretty fanciful to me.

    Really really poor for me that. Too many are passengers in this style, we are terrible out of possession. Slater anonymous again. Looked vulnerable everytime they came forward, really obvious holes in this squad but Rosenior can’t see it.

    An Oscar shot is deflected for a corner, they clear it, we get possession back and 20 passes later the next goalkeeper to touch it is Ingram. Cannot see the attraction in that.

    LR must see what we all do it’s an important week ahead in the transfer market.

    Don’t think Vinagre slots in until the midfield balance is addressed.

    The system let us down there. Fair play to Bristol City and Nigel Pearson, but we clearly had the better players (technically).

    Would it be so wrong to want to see Delap and Connolly up front together?

    This game has made up my mind that the keep-ball system doesn’t work. Try it against the teams we don’t expect anything from by all means. Not in crucial games like this. We should be making sure of the 3 points by going for 2 goals up (and then playing the system). Not inviting the pressure. It’s too safe. Top half at best with this style of football. Shame.

    A really good game, I think BCFC should have won it, we had the better, clearer chances over the 90 mins, but we didn’t take them. I’d have taken a point before kick off, so all up not too bad. A good advert for Championship football, shame it wasn’t on Sky

    Stream was constantly buffering or were we simply stuttering?

    Had to babysit grandson all day which stopped me getting up for the game. At least I managed to remain calm.

    1 shot of Acun in 2nd half, he looked very unhappy, during one of our ****ing about at the back phases.

    I honestly think 3/4 games so far show where we are this season:

    Norwich could well finish up there at the top - blew us away

    Wednesday will prob be fighting for relegation - utter ****e, we battered them

    Bristol, not great, not terrible. Presume they'll be mid table - Level pegging, can see them finishing along side us.

    Some on here weren't convinced we needed a number 6/enforcer/DM - call it what you like. What is it now - twelve/fourteen games, including friendlies, without a clean sheet? No team's going up with that defensive record.

    Your forwards definitely looked better technically than ours from what I saw, but nowhere else tbh.

    We are persisting with a midfield 2 which just gets overran every game.

    Glad it's made up your mind, but it must be forgetting the immense pressure we put Bristol City under in the first half. It was when we started launching it blindly from Greaves and Coyle and others that we looked worse.

    I still think someone would be getting more out of what we have....

    IMO that was because they sussed us out and decided to press.
