I suggest you read the comments on here by people at the game. Sunday league defending was one I believe

Are you that deep into forum politics that you can’t even appreciate a moment of skill from one of our own players?

Think he was annoyed at them celebrating in front of the Bristol fans
Was booked

I don't think it came across in the TV pictures, but I saw a vlog from a Bristol fan behind the goal and Wright does a dismissive pipe down wave to their "ultras" in the corner.

Er I was responding to a comment - seems you seem pretty deep into it yourself

What did you think of his assist G Dawg

David O'Day · 2026-03-08T14:52:48+0000

JDS was great defensively in the 2nd half, absolutely heroic.

The thing is if he was as good defensively as he is on the ball then he isn't playing for us at this level.

It was fine. As I say I didn’t go and am referencing other views of an overall display during the game.

Still you seem to have engaged the services of Basildons finest so I guess I’d better stay away

The debate is not whether he can play football. It’s his complete inability to defend. He’s perfectly ok in their half. Just not in ours.

Totally agree with you. He's terrible at defending. He used to be terrible at attacking too but that part of his game has improved dramatically

Shannerz · 2026-03-08T17:48:42+0000

He's not terrible at defending at all; what he is is exposed against pace and balls over the top; his positional play could also be better.

He's usually pretty good defensively against technical-type wingers, and I think, regardless of his imperfections as a player, it'd be very hard to argue that he's not had a very positive season for us and expect to be taken seriously.

Out of interest, Whoscored made him MoM yesterday, for whatever that's worth.

Dasilva was superb defensively in the second half. Anyone saying otherwise is a WUM and/or an idiot.

Anyone still think Sinclair Armstrong would be a good signing.... Their fans around me absolutely hated him

Was it you flashing your city top from the home end at the end of the game?

Haven't seen him comment on it so not sure what you're on about.

Interesting that you didn't deny being either of those things though.

As I said I didn’t see the game - so observing ratings - Steve made Bidwell man of the match

I've watched the highlights a few times, and the ball from Woolfenden to Latibeaudiere gets worse with each viewing. Riis read the situation brilliantly and was closing Lati down long before the pass was made.

Riis knows Lati's slow and he's on him . I don't blame Woolfenden for that . Lati has a weakness and we all know it. You can't blame his team mate for giving him a pass because he might not deal with it quick enough.

The pass is absolutely fine. Even when Lati receives the ball he's got time.

Woolfenden should have seen that the pad wasn't on. And Lati should have just wellied it away.

Riis was closing him down at some pace. That's why I said he should have wellied it away. But the pass should not have been played.

Its a pretty normal pass, he could pass it straight on to Dasilva. By professional football standards he's got loads of time.

We're not going to agree so let's move on.

I don't think anyone will agree with you on this to be honest. But we won so who cares.

shmmeee · 2026-03-08T21:34:31+0000

Don’t think the pass was that bad, do think generally the passing at the back is bad though. Both long and short. Other than Dasilva we never seem to work it forwards effectively from the back unless it’s a CM dropping deep. I honestly can’t remember the last time MvE played it past his man.

You really are down on him
He played many balls to saka on Saturday

I love him, I just want more from him and Thomas when in possession playing out from the back and I think he’s trying too hard recently and his defensive game has suffered cos he’s like an excitable puppy.

He wouldn't necessarily be conversant with Lati's short comings you would think.

ccfc1234 · 2026-03-09T00:55:53+0000

How cringeworthy are the 'Lampard give us a wave" chants at away matches!!
He is under pressure mid game and has to wave to the away end or if he doesn't he gets a little boo. Let him do his job and celebrate together at the end of the game.

no fucking chance woolfenden wears that one.

Shocking by Lati. He’s not scanned before receiving the ball and he’s slow as fuck to react. You would expect your centre half to be able to receive this ball with that much time and space, and then pass it on to the left back

There're some really weird takes on here sometimes but I think we have a winner

Lamps · 2026-03-09T06:30:52+0000

Calm down lads. We've won another game and are clear at the top. We don't need a post mortem every time a player makes a mistake. Lati is one of our reserve players for a reason. Good enough to play for us where needed, saves us with some of his tackles but he isn't a top Championship defender. We're now a top Championship side with top Championship players so it stands out a little.

No the winner was someone blaming MVE for it
