BC1867 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 CC has his out after the bannan decision so he can dodge questrone about playing 85 mins without any tempo, forward passing or desire to attack against a run of the mill side like Bristol City. The style of play is appalling and a couple of wins doesn't even paper over the cracks. Could deal with playing like that (and we did) when we had a squad of frees like under Dave Jones and Stuart Gray. But when we have an expensively assembled squad it really is a criminal waste of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol are 4th in the table so hardly run of the mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first thing get talked about to rob stating when asked an open question. He very definitely did blame the refs for getting decisions wrong.

Flat Owl Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 It's a sad day when you reach such a comatose level of performance that a refereeing decision for you is your only chance of winning a football match. Its not a coincidence that a decision in one single moment in a game is regularly such a big issue. Perhaps Carlos, if you acquired the right players, set this team up and deployed these expensive footballers properly you would not be talking almost every week about one incident that you think prevents this team winning. Instead of questioning referees, why not question why our best playmaker who is 5ft 4 is trying to run the game From centre back? Its not the personnel, it's the way they are being asked to play the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Bristol are organised and resilient, doing unexpectedly well this season (in part by virtue of frustrating the heck out of home teams like they today). But they could still be playing that match now and they wouldn't have scored yet. Unfortunately you'd probably say the same of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on,that said.....you alter things to combat that,Hunt & Bannan still found space to work in,although Bannan had to drop a little deeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that seems Carlos’ main problem so far. Avoiding the fact that we aren’t doing enough to win games by our own merits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) It wasn't all about the refs though was it? It was if you take one answer from a 10 minute interview. Throughout the interview Carlos mentioned key players not being up to standard, us not moving the ball quickly and accurately enough going forward and playing the game to Bristol City's tune; all of these are massively concerning. Despite our poor form (how are we 9th?!) it is astonishing that we have not had a penalty in 17 matches. Lee at Bolton, Fletcher at Derby, Rhodes and Bannan today, quite incredible really.

It's equally a sad day when 2 pieces of foul play and inept refereeing deny you your only 2 chances of winning a football match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
