Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted September 14, 2022 Worst we have played since the first game. Gifted two goals but otherwise very sloppy especially in defence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted September 14, 2022 This is the most annoyed I've been all season. I can't believe how much space we're giving them and how lackadaisical we've been with our passing. We're playing like we have hangovers or something. It's a good job Bristol are so poor because most sides would have put 3 past us in that spell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted September 14, 2022 We lack our structure and passing game. Let's hope we sort it at half time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,605 Posted September 14, 2022 Very frustrating game. Felt we actually dealt with the Bristol threat quite well but the midfield were passengers both in attack and in shielding the back 4. Nunez has gone very off the boil after his hot start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,772 Posted September 14, 2022 Enjoying being back in the Barclay tonight, enjoyable game but utterly littered with mistakes. We look world class going forwards at times but Sunday league at the back, Bristol goal was more than coming. Note for Cantwell though, he's been everywhere in that half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted September 14, 2022 Delighted to be ahead after what was actually a very poor performance for most of the half. The goals were a result of our quality but even before they scored we had no grip on that gsme. The midfield is non existent defensively (Kenny?) and neither Todd or Sarge is giving shy protection to their full back. Todd roaming is a particular problem when we don’t have the ball as their man is left in acres down the right. ramsey and Sarge may as well not be on the pitch.

ron obvious 1,502 Posted September 14, 2022 Too easy as per usual, so we start playing silly buqqers. Smith needs to give them a kick up the aris at half time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imo you can’t get away with playing guys out of position for too long, they get found out…sides will focus on Byram - it’s not his fault though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big O 225 Posted September 14, 2022 That was woeful and I am usually the positive sort. On the plus side we are winning but so slow to react to the tweaks they made. Sargent, Ramsey and Cantwell look an odd 3 behind Pukki. Got to bring Sara on at half time and stiffen up midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,517 Posted September 14, 2022 These last 20 minutes have been sloppy and even in the first 5 minutes we gave away stupid passes. Underwhelming... and when we were 2 goals up you could hardly say it was deserved except for Teemu's customary brilliance. Bristol look very decent and must be fancying their chances. Unless we buck up our ideas. Cantwell ineffectual as is Ramsey. Sarge struggling to even get into the game. Nunez brighter. Big HT regroup needed. Smith needs to earn his corn here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like he's playing with an injury or something, but look at the space we're giving them infront of him! You can't blame him for being exposed when they have half the pitch to run at him unchallenged We need a change of formation and personel at half time because tactically we're getting worked over here.

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted September 14, 2022 5 minutes ago, king canary said: I find this such a strange benchmark. We're not playing in the Premier League so why judge the team by how they'd do in a league their not in? Because we obviously aspire to be there, again. We wouldn't have been gifted two goals and our regular misplaced passes would be punished. I don't particularly have a problem with yo yoing per se, but make no mistake, we'd be coming straight back down playing like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
