We're finally playing decent football. I like the direction we're heading. The progress our youngsters are making is absolutely fantastic to watch. 

We were unlucky tonight in my view, both teams had chances to get more goals than they did. To question the manager is embarrassing, and so typical of some of our fans. Rome wasn't built in a day. 

Too many knee jerk reactions on here, but to claim Pearson is ‘one of the best managers we’ve had’ with his record thus far is interesting…

Im just thankful we have the high performance centre so we can enjoy kalas’s throw ins, our dynamic attacking play, and pearsons superb winning record.

I'm with you some of the way, but playing decent football ?

To be fair in 55 years of watching  there haven't been many seasons when i have thought we looked easy on the eye, maybe 7or 8 seasons out of that.

Most seasons the away team always seem to have had more flair. Maybe its just me?

Yes we played poor, and yes conceding a late equaliser is like being kicked in the nards by a horse. But we’re 12th, which after last year would mark a very successful season should we finish there. We’re improving, this was just a bad night. Onto QPR, COYR. Away thank god

Haven't quite worked out how to multi quote, so apologies. Decent football given what we were left with under Johnson and Holden. At least you can see the plan, see what he's trying to do. And some of our play has been decent, much better than last few years at least.

Theres always going to be 'off' games, tonight we weren't brilliant, but I still found us playing some decent stuff at times.

It's time to realise that a major investment in new players would be suicidal given FFP and the current financial climate.

We need better players to compete in this league otherwise we are going to and have struggled to get results and performance.  The expectation of most fans and now it seems the club is just to survive in this division.  
Where is Bristol City at the moment, I would say we are a poor Championship club.  I like Pearson but he can only do so much with the tools at his disposal.

2 defeats from 7 this season. Not the worst start to a season by a long way.

[Phileas Fogg]

I’m not too sure what people were expecting from this season. Before the season started the consensus seemed to be that most would be happy with mid-table. We’d win a few, lose a few and draw a few. Not enough for playoffs but not bad enough to go down.

We look to be basically achieving that as things stand. What has changed from people’s pre-season expectations?

I get that it’s disappointing that we haven’t won at home and I think many City fans feel Luton are the sort of team we should be beating. Doesn’t work like that though.

I was expecting us to stay in the division and avoid relegation. A season of consolidation with a few scares along the way.

What I have seen so far has been encouraging and I think my expectations will be met.

[lenred]

Drawing like we did tonight in stoppage time is an absolute gutter, sickening even, but we knew what was coming this year and the rebuild that is necessary after being completely shafted by the exploits of previous encumbants and the fact NP has had f all money.  Games like tonight are unfortunately to be expected for the rest of the season.

We are boring but difficult to beat.

Circumstances dictate this.

This season is about staying up, no more no less. We'll be bored shirtless but needs must.

Next summer there will be scope to mould the squad more to his liking. 

[bpexile]

After ploughing my way through all this, I just wish that all the posters that are jumping up & down & calling for NP's head would **** off & support the blue few, then they will really have something to cry about. This was never going to be a quick transition from the dire position we found ourselves in, NP has to be given the time & adequate funds when they become available.

In the meantime please stop acting like spoilt clueless brats 

[The Swan and Cemetery]

1. We’re 12th not 24th

2. We seem to have players who are decent at counter attacking, but less good at breaking teams down (see Weimann), hence we’re good away but mediocre at home. 

3. Home games are attended by more… home fans, so clearly if not so good at home, perception maybe below reality, given 3 points for a win is 3 points for a win in Cardiff as well as Bristol.

4. Thought tonight was miles better than last season, whilst still not being very good. Less sitting back on the lead, decent intent, lack of quality final third, silly howler at the end. 

5. Pretty sure Luton were trying as well.

Overall can see the trends so far continuing, more points away than at home, but enough points overall. Not ideal as home attendances may dwindle, but hopefully the training pitch can unlock some further improvements and if not, think it’s new players that we’ll need more than a new manager.

[firstdivision]

I was sitting there tonight in the Dolman, looking on, looking around, and one thought kept on going through my mind: we are so boring - is this what the winter looks like…

[The Coach]

Pearson has done great so far this season if you ask me. 

[CiderHeadDan]

So I have what I believe is a few neutral points for tonight.

Bentley made a poor save first half tonight which was down his throat and he palmed it in to the danger area, for their striker to miss a sitter. 
 

kalas was very solid tonight, first half especially. Atkinson also got his body in the way of most crosses.

I thought Massengo and James were solid but unspectacular. Done what they needed to and Massengo more of the clearing up work, whilst James more of the start of attacks.

I enjoyed an early sub as Pearson recognised Scott wasn’t effective and was pro-active.

I thought Dasilva for Pring wasn’t a bad move as Pring wasn’t effective tonight - as much as he has been the last 2 games.

I thought but Bentley was poor in the air and could do with a more decisive keeper in these situations to claim an easy cross. 
 

altogether I’d give a 6/10, they probably had better chances to win it but it’s always depressing when’s we concede late. We are cursed at home and frustrating we can’t get a win.

[Slack]

Ain't his fault yet, still seeing improvements, football at the end of the day isnt anyone's right to win a game and if your seriously telling me you wouldn't have taken a draw at half time after they could of easily been 3-0 up. Is this a step forward from last year... Absolutely! Should we give him time.. again absolutely! 

Yes he will make the odd bad call,but again mistakes will happen(it's football).

I believe we are in the right hands, stop asking for his head and for him to leave. 

Yes home form is really bad but how many times in the past would we of been battered against that squad. 

Wait til mid-season to pass judgement. We are all frustrated losing 2 points again that way but don't just ask for him to be fired.

How many more times this season are we going to read this?  Rebuild, no money, bad results to be expected, would have lost it last season, progress.  The fact is that Pearson picked an unbalanced team, with several players out of position, that played very poorly and didn’t deserve anything out of the game.  Is this Emperors New Clothes?  Are we all going to continue to see progress, even after another two shocking home performances?  We played better football with a substantially weaker squad in the first half of last season.  Nothing against the man (except the subbing of an out of position Alex Scott in the 35th minute was savage), but he has to start delivering results.  If our home form remains like this, we will be relegated.

This sort of post is very premature. I wasn't automatically bought into Nigel Pearson like some on here. I think some would suck the fart out of his behind if given half the chance.

He will be judged on results for me but he's definitely made small improvements on last seasons dire performances. You can tell the players are up for it more. We've just lacked that little bit of quality and rub of the green.

He needs proper time before we make judgements like this.

Tonight was awful though.

Slow and ineffectual all over the pitch.

If we would have lost 3-1 you couldn’t have had any complaints.

It was turgid to watch.

We can debate all night about how and why Lansdown and Ashton led us here and how we try to move forward but tonight was pathetic.

We didn’t lose 3-1 because they hit the woodwork twice and missed 2 sitters in front of goal.

[Tomo]

Before tonight's game, we had won 2, drawn 2, lost 2 and guess what Luton had exactly same record, so a draw tonight was hardly surprising was it?

It was a fair result. We would have won, but Bents makes a mistake and we end up with a point. It happens. 

I was lucky reporting (more unlucky really) at every game live at the ground during lockdown and it was terrible. We all have to admit that the football is improving compared to last season. Of course, we all know that we don't score goals easy, so that's something that needs addressing in the January window. 

If anyone thought that we would be knocking on the door and be involved in the promotion race this season, should stop thinking that! There are always a couple of teams that 'surprise the championship' but I can't see it being us anytime soon. 

The home record is shocking as we all know and we are going to make that 15 games without a win as we will not beat Fulham later this month.

Enjoy the rest of the season and hope we get in the top 12 - realism is calming!

Pearson STAYS and REBUILDS. Could take a while, but I'm sorry to say that's the deal, so let's deal with that as supporters of our club.

You see fans back in stadiums after covid around the country going absolutely wild and you go down the gate and it's a pretty bland affair. 

People are upset because they are bored of it, I know I am. It used to be the highlight of the week but now watching City is slipping right down the list of things to do on a Saturday. 

Not everyone can afford to travel to away games to watch the odd game we turn up in. 

It's an entertainment business and the club would do well to remember that in my opinion.

But we have had a tumultuous time of it internally over the last 12 months with our main backroom staff basically screwing us over, on top of the COVID implications and to ignore that when looking at the overall picture at the club is wrong imho.  Not sure what people want really. What do you suggest that is going to make us so much better than we currently are?  

The obvious answer is to appoint chris wilder. Apart from that, sorting out the full back spots by putting pring at left back, potentially with semenyo in front of him… right back??? Try tanner? Simpson is a waste of a salary. Keep weimann through the middle, give martin some rest occasionally? Will we ever see joe williams again, can he come into midfield and give us energy? He isnt better than james or massengo anyway in my opinion?

It wasn’t.

We created nothing of note. I’m not even sure Baker scored.

They played all the decent attacking football, sliced through us at times, missed two absolute sitters in front of goal and hit the woodwork twice.

I don’t mind highlighting the positives of Massengo and Pring but be big enough to admit who deserved the win.

Did you miss the first 12 mins or so where we should have been 2 up?

Nothing like a last minute equaliser to separate the wheat from the chaff

No. 

We sold/released our only goal threats/creative players. It's going to be turgid without any pace or willingness to run off the ball and in behind.
