72 bus Rather have Shane long than Oliviera, much more of a team player

So would I - but less likely to happen.

Rumours in Ireland that he's a Sheffield United target if they get promoted. He has a year left on his Southampton contract

Uggh. Not sure how I’d deal with him going there!

Enjoyable game, should really have taken 3 points. Meite MOM for his efforts in Club 1871.......although I was worried he’d be injured by being mobbed!

tidus_mi2 Is there any particular reason we're kicking off early despite not being on TV?

So I can watch it over lunch in the south of France!! Very kind of Bristol City to think of me on my holiday!!

Watching games like this and Sheffield just puts to bed any idea that we have a squad of players that are anything other than mid-table at best. So please lets not have any more "If only the players cared more/the manager was better/the crowd backed the boys" posts and just accept that th...

I didn’t think we were that bad......not great, but not awful! However, who gives an ox**rd?!! We beat that cheating scumbag Cook and his cynical clowns!!! URZ!!!

Bloody Derby after January!!!

Rotherham tried hard, ran hard, but lacking quality. If we put half their team into ours. We'd be comfortably mid table. :roll: Quality players alone don't make a team. Other ingredients come into play. I'd back Rotherham to stay up above us. More likely to scrape points together away from home. Th...

URZZZZ

Kitsondinho Aluko............(well Pogba was similar under Jose)

If you're talking about being used in the wrong way, then you're correct

Exactly my point. Aluko falls into our long line of ‘very expensive (for us) but unsure how to use them’. The Carl Asaba curse if you will.....

Aluko............(well Pogba was similar under Jose)

I’d be one of the few sorry to see him go. Shame it hasn’t worked out because he is a quality player at this level. We have just never looked like we know how to use him. However, I’m not going to argue that he has been anything other than another big money flop for us. We seem to like breaking our ...

Kitsondinho We couldn’t cope with the high press at the back.

That was Stam's tactical downfall. Opposition managers set their teams up to stop us playing out.

Indeed and we still have no plan B.......or we just don’t use it!

Not really much to say. They were better in every department. Meite’s performance kind of summed up today. He worked hard, covered a lot of ground but actually achieved nothing. We never looked dangerous going forward. We couldn’t cope with the high press at the back. A win on Saturday against Rothe...

The best bit about the cards was when a Derby player got sent off they all held there red cards. Made me chuckle, shame it never cought on. :D I was in the North Stand (in the beautiful seats) that day. Every single second half decision resulted in everyone around us waving the cards at the ref! Th...

We were just beyond dreadful in the first half....apart from the obvious moment of quality from Swift. Aluko was the worst performer in that half for me. He was decent at Wednesday on Saturday, but backto his awful, disinterested worst today. 2nd half we improved massively.....mainly due to Meite’s ...

Plenty of people were happy with Clement's window in the summer at the time. On paper filled the holes. In reality didn't work out. As many transfers dont. Still no experienced permanent backbone to the team. Long road ahead yet potentially. These loan recruits are putting themselves in the shop wi...

Start by sorting out the defence and work from there. Hes got the first bit sorted. Exactly. Under Clement we would have lost that match (and probably season 2 Stam) by at least 2. It may be boring at the moment, but if it keeps us up I for one will not be complaining! The match on Wednesday agains...

Couple of people don't seem to understand the value of keeping clean sheets which is worrying. The goals will come. You can visibly see the players are gaining in confidence and that confidence will spread from the defence to attack in time. It's all about our next two home games now, they will mak...

Martinez and Miazga were absolutely outstanding yesterday. 2 brilliant signing by the club. If Oliveira played that might have made the difference between us collecting one point or three. If Nelson had been the one to have Barrow’s key chance (round the keeper) in the first half, he doesn’t hesist...

Decent point today. Really impressed with our defensive efforts today, looking much more solid under Gomes. Moore was outstanding, as was Martinez. However, although we had a few decent chances, we do look so toothless upfront. Thought Aluko played well and worked really hard. Barrow was great at t...
