    Do you actually support BCFC ?
    Have you a brain ?

    I'd never select King at CH but Pearson is beset with injuries.

    With what's available we were excellent today from minute 1.
    Yes even Vyner and I thought Pearson's set up was spot on.
    I thought Wells and Conway did brilliantly defending from the front, they must have covered miles.
    Scott, Williams and James were outstanding in midfield.
    Vyner, King and Pring were excellent.
    Culminating in Max not having ONE save to make against a top 6side, even with all their money.
    Well done City.

    'How can the NP luvee’s not see how ludicrous his selections are……'
    Supcon - you really need help.

    Personally I would have taken off Wells for Semenyo rather than Conway.. Lots of energy from Wells but lacked sharpness & finesse with the ball today imo..
    All season I’ve been shouting that we are better when playing front foot and closing down from the front.. today we did, today we looked good!! By now NP should see how we play best..
    NB. I didn’t think Watford were all that today..

    Well done those boys every one of em put a shift in and were by far the better side today.
    Just a shame we could not hit the net.
    Nige can now get Kalas and Naismith fit which will make a huge difference.
    Clear up any niggles and we go again.
    Fans were quite as were Watford fans but stayed behind the team.
    Can’t fault that performance today.

    I still think we have to get a lot better to see out the season and the current lack of goals is also a concern. On today's good performance I think it proves that we are way better playing higher up the pitch which takes pressure away from the defence and allows them to focus more.

    THERE IS NOW 11 TEAMS IN A 6 POINT WINDOW!! if you include Huddersfield with a game in hand 12

    How far back to look for a dozen teams after 21 games [ circa half a season ] all being in a relgation battle... being honest BCFC is in a RELEGATION BATTLE !!!!

    He had Atkinson on the bench ffs, a natural CB…. But played King there. I didn’t see the game, but listened, and it sounded like Watford did not turn up

    Apparently we had a bug. :bandit: I’ll not press that too hard as we took the piss out of L*ton when they played that card! ;)
    Well done, and good luck for the rest of the season. <ok>

    PS. I’ll stir a Hornet’s nest ;) and then bugger off. Nigel Pearson is a class act. Stick with and support, and you will go as far as your resources allow. And I hope you, he’s a very good lad. <ok>

    Not sure what you mean by resources....it comes across that he has no need for financial resources and likes to use what there is..

    I can see from your username and avatar, you are a man of taste. So you must have faith in Big Nige’. He’s a top guy.

    Well, the same as for us. He couldn’t take us further than our resources would allow. But he’ll take you to that point.

    Not knowing the wonderful Robins’ situation at all, but I’m sure that Big Nige’ is not the only variable in play.

    You are the main person who thinks he’s a magician. The rest of us think he’s average at best

    Would have happily settled for a point beforehand
    Slightly disappointed that we didn’t get all 3 points given it seems Watford didn’t have a shot on target but onwards and upwards hopefully

    we have been the better side against all the so called better sides at the top.
    A little bit of luck -Kalas and Naismith to come back and and few important improvements in January we will be fine.

    shows how important James is to our starting 11, we look different class when he’s in the team, him and Williams were great yesterday, even Vyner had a excellent game and had been ok the last few weeks even though he seems to be the new scapegoat when we perform poorly.
