Match Day Thread Bristol City v Sheff Utd

Proud of how we played with a make shift team, we are starting to play as a unit. We lost our heads at the end. But we keep playing with that spirit we’ll be fine. Everyone putting in a shift and working for the team. We lost our heads at the end but we are a young team and as long as we learn from these set backs I’m happy.

We do need someone upfront to help Nakhi, the two we bought aren’t good enough yet, we need someone for the here and now, if Nakhi gets injured we’re stuffed, ditto goalkeeper, we need cover for Max

 

Max needs a proper keeper to press him and even be better than him he is a weak link.
We need a proper goal scoring striker in the Armstrong mould but can score it will cost good money.

 

Lots of views tonight so I thought I would add mine, for what it’s worth.
We competed well against a good opponent. Both defences were strong and negated attacking efforts.
Thought Sheffield Utd shaded it really.
We lost out on too many 50/50 challenges and both teams gave the ball away too easily.
On the 1st Sheffield goal, not sure what Max was doing but haven’t watched it back yet. My irritation is that we then switched off at the subsequent corner, taken quickly and lost the equaliser. That is unprofessional!
Then we panicked and went back to seasons past. Almost as if the second goal was inevitable.
I am really disappointed tonight that we have lost a game that was there to be won.
However, I still think we are making progress.
As I say, just my take on tonight.
Now then, what shall I have as a nightcap?

 

Disappointed, but not surprised
From others comments O’Leary let the side down once more

 

I wonder if he could try Armstrong out wide from the start, with Wells through the middle. He could have an impact doing that, he runs the channels more often than not anyway. He can certainly hold the ball up and worry defenders, but can he cross or find that killer ball is the question.

 

We need to address the goal scoring threat in Jan 2025.

i like Armstrong must be a handful to play against but he has to score goals.

 

Armstrong, so far, has looked like a slightly upmarket Bas Savage.

 

I think the Sheffield United keeper’s rugby tackle on him last night saved him the embarrassment of missing an open goal

 

He tends to lose every situation where he is one on one with the keeper and fails to score. That is not good enough under any circumstances.
