Bristol City 1 SCFC 1
Here's ten minutes of highlights from last night's game - Danny Bathh scores from James McClean's cross at 7.30 mins in the clip.
Great to catch a glimpse of Rory Delap just after the final whistle.

From the 10 minute highlights, most would say we were far the better team, but those last 15 were messy and showed the lack of calm that only Powell exudes.

Calmness from the defence is essential To be fair there was some robust bodies on the line defending last night (which you need) but lack of calm indeed |

Look a lot better outfit than the Jones era that's for sure. Not without its problems, but onwards and upwards now.

Powell is honestly the difference between us being an upper mid-table team (as we have been form-wise under MON) and a relegation contender. It's that simple. We have no way of advancing the ball up the pitch without him. |

We were definitely the better side and should have won quite comfortably but the same issues as we've had all season happened.
Crap players that can't defend.
Crap players that can't finish.
Some say it's bad luck, I disagree. We know they're crap, we know they can't defend and we know they can't finish. No bad luck about that.

That last ten or fifteen minutes I expected a penalty every time one of their players ran into our box.

The ball looked like it went a mile out of play but wasn't given, the play was then switched and it ended in the box and I think it was Batth who just body checked someone. It looked like a foul to me but without seeing a replay I wouldn't like to say for sure. |

I think that, regarding finishing, we’re getting there, save for Gregory. Since MON has arrived, we’re the 4th highest scorers in the league. Fitness is an issue, but I think MON will sort that. |

Maybe but we still miss too many chances for my liking. McClean being about the worst for it. So many games we seem to have a load of chances and then concede 1 with the first shot or some shit. |

As someone else has said if you extend MON's record over a whole season we would be among the highest scorers which s quite remarkable having woeful finishers like McClean and Gregory. Clearly Campbell Powell and Clucas have an eye for goal and I think Vokes although not great is OK. We need another striker and wide men who can finish unlike Ince and McClean. For promotion you need one player touching 20 goals and 3/4 chipping in with double figures we have the latter just not sure we have the 20 goal striker, although Campbell is progressing nicely. The defence I give you is a shambles we need better fullbacks and a regular partnership at CB that's what will improve our goals against record and turn the defeats into draws. |

The goal is horrendous. No nous, no awareness of what's going on around them.

The defence I give you is a shambles we need better fullbacks and a regular partnership at CB that's what will improve our goals against record and turn the defeats into draws. We've got a solid base in the middle of Clucas and Powell to build around attacking wise for sure. Campbell has shown he deserves that chance too. Could he score 20 next season? Certainly but we don't know. I'd like to see him given the chance though. The only other attacker I actively want us to keep is Verlinden. I think if we can keep him fit and play him then he adds a lot more to the side. But we need 2 wingers for me. Get rid of Ince and McClean and lets sign some pacey players who are more consistent. If Smith is the preferred right which he clearly is, then we need better. Batth is a good sub. Chester is wank. And we need 2 left backs and goalie. DM is the key for me too. We have no one that can protect the back 4. No one does it in our side. We need someone to do that and act as a platform for Clucas, Powell, Campbell and others. |

We're not buying two left backs Bayern, unless Tymon is done for. I assume Ward is off too. If that is the case, you may be right!!!McClean will stay, there's no two ways about it but I'll drive Ince anywhere myself, so a starter for the right wing and Verlinden to pressure McClean once fit.

Fair result, going by that video clip. 🙂
On another day it could have been 3-3. Their #9 (Jeju?) should really have scored early in the game! But we had a couple of more clear cut chances than them to score, plus a couple of half chances as well.
MoM: Danny Batth
How could Vokes miss that one, close to the goal line??

We need 2 desperately. Tymon is awful. McClean will stay sadly but there’s no way he should be a regular. |

We got very lucky with their ruled-out goal too. Batth fell over.

Their goal was fine but these were the kind of games we were losing under Jones. We dominated the home game v them and lost. Last night was a real good effort.
The first chance, the defender has Vokes' shirt and not even looking at the ball.

I didn't know we were still kneeling it before KO.
Anyone know when the authorities call "time' on this unlikely display?
We can't do it forever can we.
Its getting a bit daft now, like a minutes silence stuck on repeat!
