we are more in control now still not creating much,bristol city don`t look very good but neither do we,could be a draw

[Exiled_Rover]

Another shocker from Brereton-Diaz.

What a miss

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Miss of the season.

[BigBar]

Hedges has started very well...again.

[booth]

Brereton missed an absolute sitter. Just a tap in and skied it.

[Miller11]

Nice bit of play there, Hedges did well. Brereton should be burying that.

[roverandout]

Everything revolves around hedges

Which is why I wanted Cantwell. Very similar player, would have provided great balance.

This is our problem. Missing good chances.

[roverandout]

Vale's weakness nearly cost us a goal

It isn’t. Our problem is creating chances. We’re 2nd last in the league in that regard. We actually convert at a pretty high (unsustainable as shown recently) %

Well we missed 4 golden chances against Rotherham and a couple against Boro, so I'd suggest it's a big part of the equation. 

[BigBar]

Massive upgrade on Pickering needed. So vulnerable every time down his side. Teams gets so much joy. They have got in twice down that side already.

I think he's improved massively this season under JDT, but there's no getting away from the fact that he's a poor athlete at this level and he's there to be got at. 

[West Yorks Rover]

Rotherham 1-0 up at Watford.

got no pace,as a full back in the modern game it`s a big drawback

Combining your two posts, I'd say it's more like it's becoming a big part of the equation. As he said, we were converting at an unsustainable rate, and we have stopped sustaining it.

Massive problem with modern game mindsets. People don’t give a shit about fullbacks being defensive liabilities, as long as they can pass a bit.

[roverandout]

Vale really is weak as piss

[bluebruce]

If anybody knows anything about watching this game without being in Bristol, I'd be amenable to a DM...

[J*B]

Jack Vale. 

Not big, but not small.

Not quick, but not slow. 

Not skilful, but capable of a trick. 

Not a poacher, but can finish. 

Not strong, but not weak.

League Two at best.

I agree but we've created plenty of good chances in the last three games and not scored one of them.

Down six points because of bad finishing.
