The worst part about yesterday

[Super]

We got beat by a truly dreadful team, probably some of the worst football I have seen this season from both teams, our first half performance was pathetic no quality or passion for a so called Derby game. Truly depressing day.

[beaverface]

But disappointed with some of our powder puff tackling yesterday. 

Can believe how easy they'd beat two of our players and it would come down to Baker or Flint to put a strong saving tackle in.

Agreed.

[BS4 on Tour...]

.....was having a Butcombe at 10.30am....

[yardy]

Was a terribly dull game and gutting to lose to such a poor side.

I think we needed to kick one or two up in the air if i'm honest, something that a tommy doc, stevie galliers or gerry gow would love to do. It would of got our crowd going and inspired our players.

Lee if you are looking for a midfield enforcer i am your man!

They were hardly dreadful. They played an ugly kind of style to get the job done. They could have passed it around more and played more open and impressed people like you more, but that would have played into our hands. I don't think we were that bad either, just couldn't find a way through. Did not see a lack of passion either, thought our players were running their socks off.

I saw little passion, even a crunching tackle would of fired the crowd up but there was nothing. 

[petehinton]

End of the day I think this is just the sign of the times of modern day football. No atmosphere, no good passages of play, no great saves, can't remember a single tackle. All in a derby. Even the North London derby was only spicy yesterday because it had such a big impact on the title race.

Baker put in plenty of crunching tackles. I remember one in particular right in front of me in Dolman A.

When people talk about "passion", what does that mean in practice? There was no lack of effort from the team, they appealed vigorously for penalties etc and Tomlin even ended up in the book for saying too much. Beyond that you're into the realms of stupidity and risking getting yourself sent off (think Baker v Blackburn).

Failing to break down a well organised side doesn't mean there was a lack of passion, whatever that actually means.

[cityexile]

Worst thing about yesterday was other results. If Rotherham had lost, as I expected them to, it just would have been a 'meh' day.

I just don't know what it was but everything was flat, the performance, the fans, everything. For a so called Derby it was bordering on embarrassing.

Agreed, closed us down and defended so well we resorted to high ball tactics, must have watched the video of the Brighton game. Nevertheless we had some chances but didn't take them. They will probably get into the playoffs, just hope our confidence isn't shot for the games at Wolves and Fulham where we should get some points.

[spudski]

On reading this, I think some of our fans are in for a rude awakening...'Welcome to an average Championship game'....this is what a mid table type of game generally looks like in this league.

I still think you'll struggle to stay up based on what I've seen of you this season.

Nice away kit yesterday

[bakes]

The atmosphere in the Atyeo was fantastic, great effort from the lads with all the st George flags.

We did not get going in the first half where they controlled the midfield and deserved the lead at half time.

On a different day we could have had 2 pens, they had 2 good chances and took them both.

Thought it was a good derby game personally the first half was theirs and the second ours, should have been a draw after battering them at their place earlier in the season and ending up with a draw.

Clearly you didn't go to the reverse game at your place then, when we comprehensively outplayed you from start to finish. Although we didn't win that day, you couldn't possibly have witnessed they performance and concluded "you'll struggle to stay up". And before yesterday we'd won 4 in 5 - you're just going to ignore that sort of inprovement?

As for picking out the Brighton results, you clearly don't understand football if you think that's how it works. It's not a ladder system. We beat Boro home and away - who would you rate as the better side?

Nice "always be blue" banner by the way. Where was it during your promotion season? Was it there the night you all took a free red scarf?

So you're ignoring our playoff final season then 8 years ago? Is that not "dining at the top end of the Championship".

Your "great owner" has made you a laughing stock. He gets no credit for changing back your colour as it was him who changed it in the first place! And isn't it a remarkable coincidence how your "always be blue" campaign only gathered any momentum once you were on the way back down. And what a magnificent stand you made by all staying away from a televised cup game against lower league opposition.

There is no set of fans who would swap with you regardless of your league position. That's because most of us value the identity and traditions of our club more than success at any cost.

As for your "state of the art" ground, it's a generic bowl indistinguishable from countless others build over the last 15 years. It is an architectural travesty, built on a budget. You really think this is the cutting edge of stadium design?

You're right though, it's not a ladder system, we are there because there are only 5 teams better than us at the moment. We beat Boro at home too for your info. 

I was at both our games as well, you can claim to have played us off the park all you like, truth is, we taken 4 points from our games this season - who was better is irrelevant really because you couldn't score against us on both accounts.  

Enjoy your relegation scrap though, hopefully Joe Mason can score for Wolves on Tuesday to rub the salt in even more. I would say see you next season but.... We could get promoted or more likely, you'll get relegated.  

You are deluding yourselves if you think the way you sold your soul for a crack at the big time is just something from the past that you can pretend didn't happen.

It is a permanent stain on your club and your fans that you allowed it to happen and only found your voice to object in meaningful numbers once the dream turned sour. Those of us who value more in our football club than success at any cost won't forget. The passing of 12 months doesn't make it any less shameful.

We are 7th in the league and level on points with the team in 6th. If we played poorly yesterday then it says something about quite how awful your side is that we still beat you 0-2. A few weeks ago we tore apart a BHA side which thrashed you at home. At the moment we are light years ahead of you - yesterday's result and the table don't lie. We've got a reasonable chance of getting into play-offs and you've got a reasonable chance of getting  relegated. I happen to think it is a pretty average Championship this season but, if so, in that average league we are one of the better sides and you are one of the worst.

Took you a while to crawl out of the woodwork RFG.  You did not tear BHA apart whatsoever, the scoreline belied their performance and you got lucky. Likewise we were unlucky against them, so the gap is nowhere near what you make out as you probably know deep down. We were all over you second half yesterday and another day the scoreline could have been different.  It happens.  

You have absolutely zero chance of going up this season and are nowhere near being one of the best sides in this division as the next few weeks will show I'm sure  so we'll see you next year 'boyo'.

Where did I say you were lucky? I said you didn't tear them apart which was the claim and which despite the scoreline you did not.  They were all over you second half and missed a couple of sitters which couldve given it a very different outcome.  No delusion there at all. I watched the game. 

Youre a half decent side at the moment and you're on a decent run which given your parachute payments and amazing owner you should be, of that there is no doubt.  But you aren't going up, no chance. See you next season.

To be fair , we have created plenty of chances all season and not taking them but were wide open at the back under Cotterill. Since he's been sacked our form has been much better and we've played much better than yesterday especially away. We gifted you both goals and pinned you back for most of the second half but made poor choices around the box. On the balance of play we deserved a point but we need to be smarter in this league.

Nice try mate, but you had almost 2000 school kids in on freebie vouchers (adult + child for £15) v Preston last week, bumping the crowd up to 15k. No give aways here this season, full houses and we've been getting hammered for most of it. 

You're right about on the pitch but off it, we've been streets ahead of you this season. You can pull a big crowd when things are good, but the records show you lot desert your team like few others when things are really bad (the stats are out there for all to see. I've seen them).

Looks like the carpark during an "always be blue" gathering, a campaign that originally saw a "huge" gathering take to the Cardiff streets in protest of Tan's Ladyboy takeover, huge as in 3-400, truly a show of passion and pride from Wales' second largest club.
