Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Aug (3 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Pete]

Palmer stopping every attack and then not getting back. We don’t seem to know what to do when we attack
Torp and Wilson and kitching having good games
We are so poor playing progressing football

 

[Winny the Bish]

Said last season how I envied the teams like Ipswich and West Brom who attacked with a clear plan and patterns of play. Still jealous.

 

[Nick]

Oxford did 2 goals

That’s right no one seems to know what to do

It's not great but it's really not as bad as some of the performative posting makes out.

Thomas isn't a bad player, he just needs to think about the passes he makes.

It's all a bit meh but I've seen far worse performances from us the league first round

Fuming, I paid to listen to the game on the website and they've taken the money off of me twice but still no option to actually listen to the match, just keeps asking me to pay. I've emailed Ifollow but still no response...

Get a refund and spend it on only fans

Slowly pass it about. Get it wide. Fuck about for a bit. Close your eyes and launch it into the box.

Exactly. The plan seems to be the same as it was in the Gyokeres/Hamer days - “hope someone pulls out a bit of magic”.

 

[Tommo1993]

We sent Johansson for a nap. Looks like Bajic is on his way.

Not even that. Just go back to defence and give it away.

I like to think I am a rational person, but we've been terrible. And Thomas is thinking about his passes, he keeps giving away the ball under no pressure, same as against Stoke. This is incredibly frustrating

 

[Cally Fedora]

Positives: Wilson, Eccles, Wright.
Negatives: Lati, Thomas.
Lessons: 1) Dont play out past the press via Thomas
2) If Latibeaudiere is to play it must only ever, ever be at CD.

 

[Bad Boy]

Good word, much under-used.

Does it mean a steaming pile of shit?

 

[SwanLane]

Thomas has played ok apart from two really suicidal passes. Torp looked ok for a bit but then has looked like he doesn’t want the ball at times. Palmer has been Palmer. Lati has looked ok. Overall better than Stoke but still flat.

 

[Grendel]

Just switched Masterchef on Grendel, who’s looking best

I think Craig is a dark horse

 

[StrettoBoy]

Bit concerning we've managed 1 shot on target in 135 minutes

In their first 1.5 games Blackburn have had 11 shots on target and scored 8 goals.

At this rate it will take us until Christmas to achieve these figures.

 

[Nick]

Trying to bore us further by talking cricket

Try paying again.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

It's just all a bit "meh". No real positives apart from we're not losing.

The players don't seem to have the match sharpness or confidence. It reminds me of the games after international football when they forget how to play with each other.

Hopefully our subs are more impactful than theirs.

terrible? meh maybe

 

[Para1140]

Wilson mom so far. Thomas a liability, palmer his usual self losing the ball and one shot on target in 135 minutes of football.
their keeper might as well gone home

 

[no_loyalty]

Thomas is a concern at the moment, would go with Kitching and Lati on Friday. One up top not currently working, would like to see Simms on to partner Asante second half.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Bobby Thomas couldn’t pass wind.

That's not fair, he could pass wind but the follow through is the issue. Often wayward and destructive.

 

[procdoc]

There’s just no attacking intent. Far too conservative

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Jesus Christ what a sluggish half to put it nicely! It reminds me so much of Southgate’s England it’s frightening, no energy, no forward play… totally turgid.

It's already achieved what Southgate's football did many times...Mrs BSB has fallen asleep watching it.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Hopefully the graphic is wrong, as it showed both teams have won 5% of tackles!

 

[SBAndy]

Is that you Mark?

 

[Cov98]

We just seem to lack any urgency. The one thing I noticed immediately watching Sheffield Wednesday the other day is how quick and crisp they are in their attack. I get it was against Plymouth who were garbage but I can't remember the last time we moved the ball with any sort of pace going forward. It's always a couple of sideways passes in midfield, out to the wings and then back into midfield where it gets recycled to the back 4 or we just cross and hope.

They've played Derby and Stockport, we've played Stoke and Bristol.

 

[Tommo1993]

Do we get any points for greater possession?

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

We sent Johansson for a nap. Looks like Bajic is on his way.

Bajic was looking at his new One Plus 2 Tablet and doing a live review.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I think Craig is a dark horse

How did his sweetbreads go down

 

[Nick]

Now on about Tom Daley. An all round bore fest.

No mate
