ZiderEyed Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If you're reading this forum Stokies - I'm still cracking up that we won with a goal from a long throw, and that Jojo Allen had an absolute job done on him.

The Swan and Cemetery Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 7 minutes ago, ZiderEyed said: Benarous' disciplined really surprised me - for a boy making his first few steps in men's football, he kept demanding the ball after he got battered, kept his shape (for the most part) when he had to track back, closed down his man with real guts and determination - a genuinely good performance. Was meant to go tonight but can't afford the train right now, so gutted I missed out on the inevitable celebrations (have one for me if you're reading/posting on OTIB in the pub). Signs of an NP resurgence? Or is that a bit presemptuous? I’m going for lots of steps backwards so far this season, but slightly more forward, given the circumstances. Starting to get a tune out of players I’ll confess to having written off (Eg O’Dowda and Vyner) and introducing some exciting youngsters. And in a fair few of the games this season, despite some terrible last few minutes, we’re starting to see shape and lots of effort. That might not be all we’re aiming for, but it’s a start. Even injuries are better, we still get plenty of them, but seem to be fewer season ending types that we had in abundance last season. A light drizzling of January window activity and think we can finish in the 9th to 16th bracket and that in my view, represents decent progress. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Right, we've got the foundations now. An 11 (plus a few subs) that play with heart and determination. They don't take any shit and give as good as they get. We've got a long way to go in terms of skill but we can clearly see we have a team out there and that we've got something to work with. The two young lads, Scott and Benarous, are like two new signings at this stage of the season. COD has upped his game and it's great to see us play with real width at last. This set up should get us through to Jan with some decent points now and with the right signings we can push on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownendStokie Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Well I thought I’d better stick my head up over the parapet! I thought we were by far the better side up to the goal - and yes, being done by a long throw is really annoying! After that we really didn’t get going again and as the game went on your players seemed to grow in confidence and belief. If Romaine Sawyers had half of that we might have done a bit better! I thought we should have had a pen for your defender climbing all over Ostigard and the challenge on Vrancic could easily have been a straight red. Your penalty shout for handball in the first half was at the other end of the ground so no idea on that one. Allen's red was thoroughly deserved. A minimum of 9 minutes added time but we only played 7? Overall a typical championship game that on another day we could have won comfortably but that's football. Hopefully we get a bit of revenge at our place. Good luck for the rest of the season 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 After a worrying opening to the game we grew into it. The effort put in by the players was superb. There seem to be some green shoots. 4 points out of 6 at home, great determination from the players, a clean sheet and performances that have more shape about them. We have also shown we can hold out for a 1-0 home win We still need to be much better at retaining the ball. Small steps and three very welcome points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sorry I don't have time to read the whole thread, but this is the first time I've lost my voice in a long time. The atmosphere in the last 15 mins was tremendous and I've got lost my voice from singing so much. we were definitely second best for the first half an hour, then produced an excellent spell for 15 mins. Under the cosh a bit in the 2nd half though, but we did have our moments. Scott was amazing in a position that I would not have expected him to have excelled in and Benarus had a decent game too. I've always felt that COD would make a decent wingback as pure wingers don't seem to offer enough from a consistency perspective. He had a very good game in my view. Chris Martin is just too old and too slow though. Even though his goal scoring isn't so great, I do think the extra height, pace, strength and effort Antoine brings would be more suited to that position. Just revelling now from a home victory and a belief that we might have something going now to give us an opportunity to push up the table. I do hope we can do something in the January window to help turn us into a team that can push for the playoffs, though there are a few points to make up. First game in a long time that I can honestly say I really enjoyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get a bit of revenge at our place. Good luck for the rest of the season Fair play for sticking head above parapet. I watched on TV. For the first 15 minutes I could only see one result - a battering. Then we scored and got better but without ever establishing parity of possession (this has been the case against EVERYONE for the entire calendar year, btw - looking like the away team on our home ground). You display commendable self-awareness not to bleat about conceding from a long throw. Fair play again. Otherwise the name Rory Delap would be stuffed back at you. Or indeed the 2 most despised words in the English language, esp around here - Tiny Penis. Or, as we say, welsh gAss untc. Massengo's rugby tackle of Ostigard probably was a pen. But only out here in forumland - they're never given by actual referees, in actual games, in actual real life. So, no dice. Next week, one of yours will do exactly the same and it won't be given either. Ostigard's handball when blocking a cross in the first half was never a penalty, despite our crowd's howls of protest - exactly what a home crowd should do: get on top of the referee and opposition and bend them to your will if possible. The foul on Vrancic was a yellow - our boy was off his feet but not out of control, not reckless and not studs up. Exactly the same as the yellow for our player in the first minute. The referee was remarkably consistent on this throughout the game, to both sides. Remarkably lenient, in actual fact, given the current state of refereeing. He actually allowed a game of football to develop. He let plenty of contact go unpunished, was unfussy, wasn't card happy. Apparently, tonight was the first red card he's shown all season - and he thought long and hard about giving Allen that 2nd Yellow. He didn't really want to because he knew it meant a Red but then decided, correctly, that he had to be consistent and show the 2nd Yellow , based on the other Yellows he'd already shown for exactly the same type of foul. Fact of the matter is, Allen's cynical trip for his 1st Yellow was borderline Red anyway - and that was in the 1st half, O'Dowda was clean through, so you should have been playing the 2nd half with 10 men. Yes, our man was on half way and out wide but there was no covering defence and he would still have had the time and space to collect the ball and head straight for goal with no-one in sight - i.e. Allen stopped a clear goal scoring opportunity. Imo. Just because it was on half way don't mean shite - we were countering and you had no covering defence. It was the only thing the ref got wrong all night. Apart from blowing up at 8 mins and 37 seconds - not quite the 9 added minutes advertised but longer than the 7 minutes you've quoted. Who knows what you might have conjured up with 10 men in the missing 23 seconds?? But no doubt, repeat the same performances at your place and I'm certain you'll have your "revenge". As you say, that's football. Enjoy the rest of the season, after too long you have a good team, rather than a collection of overpaid individuals, and an excellent mamager. You'll probably do what we've done in recent times - be in contention, then snatch 10th place from the jaws of the play-offs. Still, that's progress, for you.

brad blit Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Morning all! It’s always better after an evening win….. Plaudits rightly being given to usual suspects last night, but I havnt seen his name mentioned and wanted to give a special shout to Zac Vyner. Thought he played with maturity last night, lots of composed moments with the ball at his feet and some excellent passing from the back. Along with COD hes been at the club a long time now and needs to start concentrating on one position, being consistent and cutting out the silly errors. He’s started doing that last couple games and I hope he continues to grow in confidence, as he’s always been a capable footballer who’s never had run in team in one position to grow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm… I think my attempt at irony may have been missed here! I’m well aware of our history with the long throw having witnessed Rory Delap in action many times. Conceding from a long throw feels very much like being hoisted by your own petard (or whatever that saying is). Apart from that he’s also on our coaching staff so you’d think we’d be prepared! I found it amusing that our fans were going mental at how long your throw ins took -drying the ball with the towel etc, considering we practically made it an art form in our earlier PL days.

He was the one who spent a whole Sunday at Jamie Vardy’s house persuading him to sign for Leicester City instead of Blackburn Rovers - this was when Jamie Vardy was pretty unknown with a non league background. Then Nigel Pearson signed Riyad Mahrez for £450,000 - both Vardy and Mahrez were instrumental in Leicester City winning the premier league and Mahrez was subsequently sold to Man City for £50 million ... yep this is the same Nigel Pearson who picks Andi Weimann for every game - what do you know that Nigel Pearson doesn’t? Because Nigel seems to rate him ... Thought Weimann was great last night, just ran and ran and ran. There was one point around 30ish mins where we broke from a corner and Weimann was the only one up top, busting a gut in and out of their defenders to create space. Getting the ball up to him allowed the rest of the team to join and from that point on it was sustained pressure - a really handy player to have. I think if/when we have a more skilful team he will be a vital part of that and be able to show his talents a little more. At the moment him and Martin are doing the dirty work and not necessarily showcasing their potential. Also have to mention how good Scott and Benarous were, O'Dowda and Williams strong too and I thought Massengo was decent when he came on. A really encouraging game.

Kodjias Wrist Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 4 minutes ago, DownendStokie said: Hmm… I think my attempt at irony may have been missed here! I’m well aware of our history with the long throw having witnessed Rory Delap in action many times. Conceding from a long throw feels very much like being hoisted by your own petard (or whatever that saying is). Apart from that he’s also on our coaching staff so you’d think we’d be prepared! I found it amusing that our fans were going mental at how long your throw ins took -drying the ball with the towel etc, considering we practically made it an art form in our earlier PL days. Definite lack of self awareness there… Find the reactions from your fans quite funny. The whole we should have 4,5 or 6 nil is always a funny statement because theres no telling how the game might have changed if you scored to go 1 or 2 up. What they should be saying is they had four or five chances to get their first goal. I personally think there was only 3 decent goal opportunities for you and so did the sky stats.

22A Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 On their forum, the thread is now 27 pages long. https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/302392/bristol-city-stoke?page=27 Was a painful one to take that was, thank god my short trip back to Devon wasn’t as bad. Fair play to the ones going back. Shame one or two felt the need to damage some seats, kind of like the way people react on here after a loss I suppose….So many wrong choices and rather unlucky, they seemed to waste time from the moment they scored. Shocking to think we used to play like that and enjoy it… dreadful to watch. No one on this forum has commented on damaged seats; many or just a few? The second highlighted comment sums up what several on here have posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Some notable absentees on the forum today. Hope they're alright. I wouldn't like to think they only want to talk when we lose. These things take time. Trust in Nigel.

Bris Red Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Great win for the boys i am delighted we finally seem to be turning the corner. Onwards and upwards to safety this season and bring on the next big clear out next summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Stoke played in one of the dullest kits you are likely to see and their performance matched it. With the possession they had, we should have been well beaten but this team has found a new strength. We still make too many mistakes, can't keep the ball for lengthy spells but there is a spirit in the play now. COYREDS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm only interested in the 3 points. We are in a transition period. We're constantly being out played such is the state we were left in by the previous regimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 15 hours ago, DownendStokie said: Well I thought I’d better stick my head up over the parapet! I thought we were by far the better side up to the goal - and yes, being done by a long throw is really annoying! After that we really didn’t get going again and as the game went on your players seemed to grow in confidence and belief. If Romaine Sawyers had half of that we might have done a bit better! I thought we should have had a pen for your defender climbing all over Ostigard and the challenge on Vrancic could easily have been a straight red. Your penalty shout for handball in the first half was at the other end of the ground so no idea on that one. Allen's red was thoroughly deserved. A minimum of 9 minutes added time but we only played 7? Overall a typical championship game that on another day we could have won comfortably but that's football. Hopefully we get a bit of revenge at our place. Good luck for the rest of the season You're not the only Stokie in Bristol. Just ask Harry and Bradley. Oh yeh, and there's also the Bishop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Great result, Battling performance. The fearless youngsters coming through are a refreshing breath of fresh air. I hope they maintain their passion, enthusiasm and energy whilst developing their footballing brains and reading of the game and opportunities. As Pring might say "Cam on you Reds!"

I wouldn't like to think they only want to talk when we lose. These things take time. Trust in Nigel. I do wonder whether a small minority of our "fans" genuinely hate football including Bristol City FC and literally only get enjoyment out of slagging the Manager, players and the club off? Is it because of the money the players earn and there is a bit of jealousy in there, is their opinion so important to them that they would rather see us lose to prove themselves right than the be happy at club winning, is it because they are high flyers in life and the club cannot meet their massively high standards or are they just miserable bastards who have such a horrible and/or sad life that they cannot even enjoy a win with everyone else? We all like a good moan from time to time but surely after a game like last night you have to enjoy the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some just like the attention, even if it’s just ridicule, so they’ll deliberately be controversial. I’m actually surprised that mug from Hampshire hasn’t been on here, banging on about us being so lucky last night that it doesn’t even count as a win and Pearson should still go! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
