I think I might give up on this for a bit.

Can't think when I last enjoyed watching City play.

Invest nothing in the playing squad (Tanner aside) and this is what you get. 
 

Absolute spineless crap. 

Maybe not the time, but which part of FFP don’t you understand?

I love otib. But this place is very silly. 

Sack @Fordy62 there I said it he has to go.

[BcFcOneLove]

Could feel it coming towards the end but not quite losing it aswell....

[Fordy62]

I blame the stupid woman on robins tv. All she had to say for the last fifteen minutes was 3 points this, 3 points that. She needs to learnt to keep it quiet.

Face it, we could put Pep or Jurgen in charge of this side and the results would be the same. We simply aren't good enough.

We are in this for the long haul until we can develop a better squad of players.

It’s sad but it’s true.

We clearly have some good young players, but we also have some absolutely average-to-bad senior pros stinking up the place; need shot of the dead wood asap to be able to get a real sense of things.

But honestly; it’s ******* Groundhog Day with these last min goals - and that isn’t just individual mistakes, it’s the coaching; we defend too deep and for too long. I’d rather lose 3-1 trying to go for the jugular than 2-1 to these shitty last minute shockers.

[AirlieBeachRed]

Go completely negative late in the game and we get what we deserve. Took all attackers off.

Way to send out a message of just hold on.

They played alright tonight, quite entertaining but the ending is ridiculous

[Mihai]

Hahahaha I am laughing cause I can not be angry anymore. I was laughing my ass off, I was 100% sure we will get another one. You know why ? Cause the faith goes with the better ones.

We have a shit team, I don't care about your criticism over my comment. Is a shit team cause of the mentality. The quality is not that bad, a 10-15th place quality for sure. But all of this half our big boys showed us how small Bristol City is as a club.

We played against them like they were Real Madrid, hitting every ball into the stand or back to their keaper.

Is a fair result and they had a penalty also in min 80.

We are going nowhere, be glad that we won't relegate probably. Pearson is not the man, SL is not the man either. 

Have a nice day, i will go to watch some good football in UCL.

I’d say it’s his responsibility. We haven’t won at home under him 

[Red & Gold]

All came from a terrible kick-off, where we went back to the keeper (something we never do) a rushed kick and pressure back on us. 

After conceding one we have to be professional enough to control the things we can control: readiness from kick off, pass quality from kick off, etc and see the game out. 

Hard after conceding so late and feeling the the world is against us at home but we have to be more professional than this. Shame as we worked pretty hard as a team so to get nothing is tough to take.

 My reference is not to this one match but to no home wins since he took over

He’s the boss the buck on the pitch stops with him.

Agreed the bigger problem is SL, though

This is total crap,,, we have shown zero will to win and barely compete… absolutely pathetic

That is utter nonsense!

if anything we’ve tried too hard, that lunge from baker is desperation to win. A cool calm head doesn’t make that challenge - also doesn’t put it in the stand on the halfway line when there’s a man to pass to 5 yards away.

The run has got to them massively. Up until 90 minutes we were pretty good tonight, certainly good value for the win. Clearly a desire to win, but mentally it’s a burden.

Just now, cidercity1987 said:

It is. Wells unlucky not to score, could well have had a penalty...and pretty sure their winner was hand ball.

It really feels like we are cursed at home. Hard to rationalise that.

Not quite sure what else they could do, Martin knackered, Wells knackered, O’Dowda to run at them was sensible enough, just a stupid decision to dive in at the end.

Nearly a year of this nigel pearson crap,,, cant keep possession, game plan involves kicking it long and see if theres a rebound or mistake. Absolutely pathetic!

We're never comfortable, never retain possession. We must be such an enjoyable side to play against...you've mucked up that chance?...here - have the ball back and try again!

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Sad that I'm not even angry or upset at it, it's happened so often now I almost expect it to happen. I'll also take the blame for mentioning Blackpool and Luton(!)

This team needs a proper rebuild of playing staff to get rid of this whole negative vibe from the on-pitch to the way fans are feeling off the pitch.

Nige is the man to do it! Give him a chance, a lot of these players have had way too many.

Yes, I'm afraid it leads to a team playing with fear with predictable results.

No need to sit so so deep for 20 mins.

But I do ******* hate football sometimes and to see that ugly bastard Cooper run down the touch line. Was the winning goal handball?

Spot on. If I was a neutral I would've wanted them to score as we spent the whole second half being totally negative. 

Sorry Nige but that one's on you.

Sadly Lansdown and his awful appointments have historically been the problem...could have been so different years ago. But I agree - we're we're lumped with him now.

Nigel's remit this season is to keep us up. Like it or lump it, that is clearly our aim and to rebuild the finances

Do we have the worst record in the top 4 divisions right now for longest amount of time without a home win?

That’s not coaching, it’s confidence. It’s natural to drop back like that when under pressure, no one does it intentionally

[BcfcRed3]

Anyone else wonder why they bother? Absolutely dreadful AGAIN

[YGBjammy]

I'm still behind Nige.

Play that last ten minutes 100 times and we'd win in probably 85 of them, and draw in 14 of them. Just one of those things.

I think Pearson is the best manager for us, for now, overseeing this overhaul of the squad and club.

Preparing to get slaughtered for this opinion now.

You don't get the argument because you don't understand FFP or the financial situation City are in. This isnt Football Manager

There are some very detailed threads on OTIB that explain the situation we're in.
