MATCH THREAD: ‘BRISTOL C v CARDIFF CITY ‘ MATCH THREAD

Tommy Conway is a little bugger. Hitting the ground on every contact and grabbing the ball in before the ref blows the whistle, like he knows he's going to get the call. Handball if he doesn't... joke.

Again! And this time it leads to a goal. Fuming.

Do not understand why nobody put a big challenge in on him first few minutes.
Completely out-battled.

Remember when the transfer rumours about Wells were going, nobody seemed that keen. He's been one of their best players, only wish we had him now...

Wells and Conway best players on the pitch today

Hand ball…

Look at Watters stood watching on the edge of the box when O’Dowda crossed it??
Where was is famous run that a few on here bang on about.

Hope he scores to shut me up about him!!

Exactly. I was hoping that Watters just needed a goal to get him on his way, for him not to have been bombing in for that play is terrible, basics, and he would have scored. I think I've seen enough of him as even if we had two up top, I just don't think he's got it in him at this level.

mmmm there was 3 others standing doing nothing but hey ho watters is fall guy... as for runs he as made at least 6 great ones but where was the support? I know they were admiring the Run...

It kind of is his job though. If anyone should be hitting the 6 yard box it should be him. He's been poor today. Should've scored and at least 3 or 4 where he wasn't where he should've been.

That is absalute garbage and you know it? Your saying he needs to be clairvoyant and be in place before ball is played there? Its job of other players to find him aswell
or is it watters playing in all 10 outfield positions?

Why dont you just stick to criticising everyone else. Its clear from your comment you know absolutely nothing about football.

You'd say Watters played well if he sat in a deckchair on the halfway line all game.

Hes a striker. His game is getting into positions to scire goals.

Still time! Jacks threw it away in 2 mins of added time!!

Colwill looking good.

Spot on.

Its also job of other players to support him isnt it.... Can people say hes been supported by one player? Hes made the runs got the ball so where should he have been love to know..

Wells and Conway best players on the pitch today

Agreed. I think Allsopp, Kipré and O'Dowda played well for us, everything else was a little quiet.

Colwill impressed me so far, yeah odd sloppy pass, gone down bit easy but he looking for the ball seems to be strong when receiving the ball. Wants to make something happen

Colwill strikes but way over the bar

Our passing and general play has been very loose and below standard.

The players beginning to believe their own hype?

This season weve done ok, but we are nowhere near any finished article and have no consistemcy at all.

Come on Allan. Dont retort to silly replies. You know he was crap. In that one moment, a striker to stand flat footed on the edge of the box?! OR make a run for the 6 yard box?! I think we both know the answer. The other players as you say (midfielders) have the edge of the box covered, as they did.

I agree with that

Hmmm. All those players should be running in, basics. But your missing the point here Al, Watters is a striker, his primary role is to score goals, he should have been all over it. No wonder he's been hooked yet again.

Exactly right and spot on Paul.

He’s the main striker and as soon as the ball was played to O’Dowda Watters should have been sprinting in but he stood watching. Been poor all game just doesn’t know where to go.

And now he goes 2 up top…. Too little to late I think

Kion Etete on / Romeo off

Kipre with a last-minute challenge on Martin, but just nicks the ball as the referee rubbishes penalty claims.

Know about some as you.... but can you honestly say hes played badly and not made excellent runs to get possession ? Yes should scored but goalie saved it .... if he had 3assists for goals you would will still criticise him.... who else am I criticising ??

5 mins added time coming up

Very poor performance from nearly all of players but for me the midfield has been appalling and then Ralls comes on and takes it to another level of lowness.
Sad day

Our passing and general play has been very loose and below standard.

This season weve done ok, but we are nowhere near any finished article and have no consistemcy at all.

Definitely this.

I feel at home we'll do well. Playing this possession way.

We need to develop a better way of playing away from home. Slightly different. More of a counter attacking style.

Oh, and we need a striker. Desperately!!!

Weve scored 3 goals in 6 matches including the Cup game, not enough

Worst performance so far this season. We don't half bloody pick em. Rinamota - missing, Sawyers - not at the races. When will our players get up for a derby? FFS

5 mins injury time so let's string 5 passes together at the back f**k flooding the box and crossing it in. Kills me

Bristol have seemed to want it more all game ….too many quiet performances…Colwill has made a difference tho

Good save Allsop

Opened us up way to easy then.

Also, I still think we need a 'tough guy' in midfield, we're a bit powderpuff, no one to drive us forward. I don't mind the passing around but it needs to lead to something.

I’m sure Morrison will bite some reporters head off if they criticise him, seems the way with his stinking attitude towards people sometimes, another derby another defeat, hate derby days now, always a defeat

Ok perhaps I just think people blame him for the failings of morison to play with support for him you've got to agree playing one upfront is never going to work with strikers we have ? Whilst he should been in box for o'dowda so should others been there whst was point if being 30yrds out when ball was going to be put into 6yrd box at worst.. anyway cannot wait for new striker but morison needs have change of attitude to how he sets up team

Absolutely spot on, that opportunity was meat and drink for even an average striker.
