' TONIGHTS TEAM BRISTOL R v CARDIFF CITY ' MATCH THREAD

No pace, no penetration.
Sideways and backwards with no ideas going forward. Let's hope things improve.

Very poor first half from both sides. We look solid and have had a lot of the ball, but done very little with it.

It looks like it's going to be a long season

6 changes and I'd like to think we're going to do some business come the end of the month. That said, I've seen Zahore a good few times now and he doesn't excite me at all.

John and Richards are too shit scared to run with the ball and take the man on. The formation only works for Wales because of pace up front or the Bale factor.
Painful to watch.
No pace. No passion. No creativity.
Plenty of sideways and backwards.

Back underway for the second half, let's hope there's some improvement

Needs to be

City taking control

Cardiff 71% possesion

Doing nothing though Annis. Noone is terrible along with Zahore. Changes needed.

Thank f**k for that.

Pilkington replaces Zohore.

Chance for Zohore to prove his worth tonight, but poor again I'm afraid.

It's not as if you can say bristol played well, we just look very average. Serious lack of movement, during the first half we had all but our 3 centre backs and keeper in the oppositions half, and there was still no one to pass to

Freedy on for Noone.

I'm sat with the Bristol fans and jazz Richards is not interested in the slightest.. Ca understand why Fulham fans where glad to se the back of him tbh.. What has happened to Craig no one? Freddy on for him now fingers crossed we get something

Wake me up when it's finished

Freedy on for Noone.

Good cos I have him to score with a 0-2 win.
10 pr so minutes still to score a couple.

Get a bid in for Marty Taylor up front for them asap.. Exactly what we need. If we let gunner go
We are crazy imo

I hope Zahore just had a bad night. Pilkingdon has done more in 10mins than he did in 60.

We need to move the ball foward quicker to much side to side going nowhere slow passing. Also Richards needs to run into space when it opens up for him rather than than stopping and passing backwards.

5 mins of the 90 left = 0-0 .

He's had a few bad performances in a City shirt. He's not up to it I'm afraid.

Feel like I'm watching a keep ball training section

Hmmm not the best of matches

Hmmm not the best of matches

Terrible.

Not quite as thrilling as synchronized diving or badminton!!!

Hmmm not the best of matches

Dreadful.

Bristol Rovers seem more likely to score than us.

Cardiff City are down to ten men. Stuart O'Keefe has picked up an injury and can't continue.

All three substitutes used.

1-0 Bristol Rovers.

Bloody hell with 5 mins to go what a strike by Rovers and what a goal 1-0 to Rovers
