But we didn't dominate any part of the game, they did. After 45 minutes 0 shots on goal or otherwise, 0 corners and 1-0 down says everything. An improvement in the second half isn't saying much. Better team? Not sure about that from what I saw.

Maybe, but I don’t think Nyambe is as good as he’s sometimes painted. We’ve forgotten what an actual good fullback looks like. I don’t think Mowbray knows what a good one looks like as well.

Seemed to me like it was more Ayala being on the pitch than the formation change and I watched the game. And he didn't head everything away, Bristol still had good chances. Thank Kaminski for a cracking save too.

Wharton and Ayala at the back next game please.

I don't believe that at all but what I do know for a fact is if a player wants away they aren't going to give 100%. Today he looked like he'd been forced to go to football practice by a domineering Dad, and what he really wanted to do was play on his PS5. Ps, if we really can't afford a decent Championship right back then the club should just shut up shop right now. Having players is kind of a rudimentary requirement.

He's the best we've got but that doesn't mean we can't do better.

Get rid then. He's not exactly a world beater.

Meh, we've been shit. Just not as shit.

I think the Bristol commentators are on crack.

DIAAAZZZZZZ!!!!!

I've seen this performance far too many times to know who it's on. We've changed the players over the years, only one constant.

No excuses for Mowbray today.

No shots. No shots on target. No corners. Tony puts on another defender.

Ayala for Poveda when we've got attacking options on the bench.

Typical Mowbray. Doesn't know what to do so completely changes things and prays for a fluke.

Brereton goal disallowed.

It was always coming 1-0 to (then) 18th placed Bristol.

We're looking poor against 18th placed Bristol.

I'm sorry to break it to anyone not watching but we're back to being a bit crap.

Bristol fans will be thinking the same.

Bristol unlucky not to be ahead.

According to the steward I once had an altercation with, Sky even own the rights to the Sky. I asked if that was why they were called Sky. She said don't take the piss.

I hope Mowbray doesn't forget what made the team good last time.

As someone else said, he had a reputation as a good coach before he came here. If I were a Hibs fan I'd be terrified especially if the owner was regarded as less then squeaky clean. For us the damage of those 3 seasons (ish) have so far proved irreparable on so many levels. There are some who like to pretend otherwise but that's because they can't face the truth. "We've found our level." Absolute bullshit. The truth is we were comfortable in the Premier League with decent crowds and the best "local" support in the country. Besides the league status we had a sensible chairman and board who were maintaining a reasonable level of debt - much envied by larger and lesser controlled clubs. True we were punching well above our weight but it was made possible by good people. Unfortunately some bad people saw an opportunity to take all that and feather their own nests, no matter the damage to the club. And they had the media in their pockets so the fans looked like the bad guys. Only a handful of people spoke up but they were drowned out by the poor wee Stevey headlines. At Ewood it was like some kind of dystopian nightmare. The crowd had turned angry but to Steve Kean it was like it wasn't happening, like he was in his own bubble. He'd stand there bold as brass with a smile on his face as Kean Out was richocheting from each stand. Bold as brass, defeat after defeat. There was no authority left to remove him. Stewards were actively provoking fans. Because of the anger directed at Steve Kean the club were under orders to treat us all like the enemy. They stopped people being able to bring banners into the ground. A female steward once randomly started arguing with me, I tried to ignore her but she was like a dog with a bone which caused fans behind me to come to by defence - this was during a game. A policeman walked over, I thought that's it I'm out. Instead he told the steward to come away or he'd remove her and to stop inciting the crowd. There was one match where young children were being searched entering the ground. I saw fighting between our own fans and was later told that people had been sent in to the crowd to confront people not supporting the manager (no idea if that's true but it certainly felt like that). Some of those fans will never come back after the way they were treated. We had debts of £20m when Venky's took over in 2010. In 2021 it's £140m. Thanks for everything Steve you wee gem.
