Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers, Sunday 1st September, 1.30pm KO

[oldjamfan1]

Bad day at the office. Everybody needs to calm the heck down though. 

Learn lessons and move on.

[AdamRochina]

you can all come at me as much as you want, dosent bother me in the slightest,  defend that performance as much as you want your obviousness lacking up top,  shocking performance,  we have been slaughtered by an above average city side, god help us against the likes of boro

[BigBar]

So many blocked shots for Armstrong so little time...avoid the defender at least once

[G Somerset Rover]

Mowbray may be the messiah in many eyes but he’s got to get past certain flaws such as persisting with Smallwood when he can’t pass wind and continuing to throw on Nuttall who is a fish out of water in the Championship. Piss poor.

[Husky]

I'm sure we all want Nutall to do well, but every time he comes on there's something a bit Chris Brown about it all.

no chance, it ruins my whole week! i hate losing, i hate the way we have played its been so F..ing poor

We aren't good enough to compete with these sides this season or probably next. 12th to 15th will be a respectable finish for us. 

[Tom]

Good effort Brereton

Wake up call today? We've looked very league 1 this half.

Bristol City aren't such a great team either.

On this showing I think Bristol look very organised and fairly decent, showed good resilience coming back from our early goal and early pressure. Also seem to have a decent bench as well.

Armstrong, Evans, Bennett, Smallwood, Raya, Nyambe, Bell... all underperformed,

Even Rothwell has looked lost. Has Ben Brereton had more than 5 touches?

Confusing subs too. Unless Graham was injured, his substitution basically dissipated any foothold we had in their half.

Lets hope Dack doesn’t have a BBQ over the international window, or we might be in for a rough season..

Taking Nyambe off was a dreadful decision.

Agree. Him and Bell actually started the second half well.

[OJRovers]

I blame the red button.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Been quite a while since we had a proper pasting and as Stuart says,something wrong with the body language today...just not what we expect from a Mowbray side.

Just one of those games unfortunately. 

A goal from a FK that never was. Three goals from fortunate deflections. 

Meanwhile we didn't take our chances. We're never going to challenge for the league, so you brush yourself down, pick yourselves up and move on.

Shoes the lack of quality in this league if these guys are promotion contenders.

who wishes to tell me to shh now and who wishes to defend this?!   yes we cant win them all ect but today we have been pathetic, we look like a league 1 side,  pathetic embarrsing today, cant pass, cant finish, cant defend,    toothless pathetic cack

 

Somewhere in between these two comments may the truth be found.

Very poor today. But Christ let’s not lose our shit.

these sides?! or you for f..ing real.  this is bristol city,  an average championship side that might flirt with the idea of play offs at times but fall short and finish around 7th to 12th.   jesus christ if we cant compete with bristol city lets give up and go home

Harsh on Bell but agree on the main.

[jim mk2]

We needed better defenders in the transfer window - and a new goalkeeper. We;ll get more defeats like this

[Doaksie]

I don't buy that it's worse before a break. No point drawing today and spending the next 2 weeks thinking all is well in the garden (sorry Bradley). This needs to focus a few minds. You sink or you swim 

[Tormund]

Adam, nobody is defending this performance. Second half has been terrible. What are people’s expectations this season? I think every team will get a thrashing in this league, like Villa yesterday. I hope fans aren’t expecting a promotion challenge. 

[AdamRochina]

to round off the day burnley will beat united

Just for context, we’ve just lost our first game all season, and our third this calendar year or something. Maybe that’s why he was persisting.

[Stuart]

Disappointing result. 2 weeks of deliberations.

Villa will be licking their lips.

Did you not see them last season, they played man city of the park in a semi final, had a good league campaign until last 10 games or so. Their a good side. Our back four is basically the back four that got relegated, once williams inevitably comes back in. That's the problem, additions should have been made at the back. However we also need attacking options. Next summer hopefully we concentrate on the defence.

Glad you’re happy.

I’m laughing that you will literally clutch at any straw to find someone or something to blame.

To suggest this performance/result is anything to do with an instagram story - it’s absolutely laughable. We could get beat 10-0 and I’d still find that stupidly funny.

We lost because we played badly. Some poor subs, a bucket full of poor performances and we paid a heavy price for missing 2/3 great opportunities.

[Husky]

How can fans get an invite to Dack's BBQ?
