You're making out like I was shaking up the champagne and spraying it after the Swansea game - I wasn't. All I said is what I'm saying now, we are improving every game.

I'd give him half the season at least. I don't believe he's not good enough, as I've said there are improvements being made. We bring someone else in and we start the process all over again, and presumably they only get 10 games as well.

I don't know, but he deserves to be given a chance. I'm sick of modern football and managers being axed after a handful of games.

Think everyone should watch this clip. Confirms to me what I've thought, that our squad is a massive rebuild job not in terms of personnel but in terms of mentality. I firmly believe Still is the man to do it

The two consistent things we've been missing is a top goalkeeper and effective centre forwards. The signing of Bazunu is one of the most damaging we've ever made.

They were overwhelming the midfield from the start!? After half an hour they put up the stats that only 10% of the play had occurred in the final third near our goal and we'd had 75% of possession. They played on the counter attack and it worked, fair play to them, but at no point were they overwhelming our midfield. They bypassed it.

If I compare yesterday's performance (ignoring the result) to earlier in the season there is massive improvement, yes. I'm willing to give him longer term to fix the issues remaining as he is improving us. Earlier in the season we could barely string passes together to get the ball forward. The forwards, Armstrong in particular, were completely isolated because they were making the wrong kind of movements but they were heavily involved yesterday.

Christ almighty 🤦🏼‍♂️ I long for the days where managers were given half a season before they were judged.

Well I'll be honest I didn't see any evidence of any of that. There was plenty of passing from the backline forwards, including to Charles, Jander, Scienza and Armstrong who were all very mobile making themselves available for the ball. The mistakes that were made weren't the result of getting in each others way or not taking responsibility, it was individual mistakes. Poor control from Wood for the first, on McCarthy for the 2nd for assuming it was going wide then shitting himself when the ball rebounded to him, and then a poor pass from Jander without looking which went straight to a City player.

Good times come and go for all but the most elite (and even they have "bad" times where they don't win anything for a couple of years). We've been lower than this and come back.

Absolutely hate Ashton Gate.

What's impressive is that people can slag Downs off for miss controlling the ball and not touching the ball once at the same time.

Give it a rest.

What's going on with Matsuki? Get him back in the team FFS. He looked brilliant and then he disappeared.

Edwards runs in at the back post, perfectly in time to meet the ball into the box, and then is so surprised to find it at his feet that he swipes it over the bar in a panic. Fuck off.

Assume Fellows has come on wearing a nappy.

Fucking hate playing Bristol City so much.

If the commentator is right that Fellows had a knock and then got ill, that is proper shit luck. Fraser has been crap today and after the weekend it seemed obvious that Fellows would start down the right.

That's the most ridiculous goal I've ever seen.

Edwards backing off and off with plenty of cover behind him, just fucking get into him!

Referee stops play just as McCarthy puts Armstrong through on goal. Brilliant.

Once again deflecting entirely from the point. Yeah, we have poor finisher's up front. But we are NOT playing defensively. Stop making shit up, from what you've posted I don't think you're even watching...Edwards going up front from goal kicks FFS 😂 total nonsense.

29 shots on the weekend, 10 so far today...doesn't exactly scream sitting back does it.

With 6 goals so far this season...

Moore is fucking gash. Wouldn't have said no to McBurnie though.
