We are hitting long holeful balls and losing the second ball every time
They are letting us have it as they Re finding it easy to contain us other than set pieces

One shot on target for them says more about our finishing than their tactics or ours for that matter

Not sure how you can say we didn’t play better. Seems like you have an axe to grind rather than being objective.

When Bristol City prepared for this game do you think their game plan was to come here and dominate the game like we did? No doubt we dominated the statistics but statistics mean nothing significant - the only thing that matters is the scoreline. Bristol City managed the game well, held their defensive line well, remained disciplined throughout the game and intimidated our most physical players (notably O'Dowda vs Nelson and Morrison/Kalas vs Moore). In considering that, compare their performance to ours - what did we do best? We didn't do much well but oh well, at least we had the ball more than they did and we managed to put the ball in their box a few times. We didn't play well because we came close to scoring once or twice...we played poorly despite coming close to scoring once to twice.
My point being - they executed their game plan far better than we did. Don't let statistics fool you :
Don't assume someone is being unreasonable just because they have a different opinion to you...

You’re making assumptions of your own.
I don’t pay attention to statistic. Possession means nothing if you don’t win. Yes, we lost which is the only thing that matters.
Your comment was that we didn’t play better than Bristol. We did. We had more chances, looked more threatening and defended well apart from the fist 2 mins.
Just because they won doesnt mean they played well. Defended well yes. Bristols performance was straight out of the Warnock playbook.
