    We are just so slow in moving the ball.

    City fully deserve their lead - and we fully deserve to be behind. What our defenders think they are doing is anyone's guess.

    By playing our full backs as attacking players, we are leaving big spaces when they move up field. City have exploited that very well.

    A bit of, understatement, a shake up needed in the dressing room.

    That is uncalled-for. 1-3

    If it's any consolation, Luton are losing 2-1 at Sheff Utd

    Yup. Stats don't mean a thing.

    Well you cannot argue that we lost because of bad luck or anything. City deserved what they played for.

    I was just looking at the stats on hive live and thinking about how they had zero reflection of the game. Bristol City were deserved winners yet the stats don't bear that out. Apart from the result itself: not flattering, not really.

    Too many errors - gifted them 3 goals.

    Shame we scored then let one in straight away .

    We looked leggy and lazy really

    BC pressed us well and very dangerous on the break and down their left .

    Really poor. So many errors and giving the ball away easily. Feel we should have stopped playing it out from the back as hoofing it and giving away possession in City’s half is better than gifting them in our own half!

    They knew how to catch us out and we didn’t react to it .

    If nothing else, it would have made them stop and think - you really need at least a Plan B if Plan A isn't working.
