BP1960 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Just back, dont care if it's the JPT, there were around 100 of us made the trip and to be frank it was a :censored:ing disgraceful performance. They should have won 6-0, we had 0 good chances, the midfield was absymal, stray pass after stray pass, about 3000 offsides. I regretted going after 10 mins. The manager should pin that on the dressing room wall. Edited September 1, 2015 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Went to the game. Everything about the game was poor and the whole occasion was dull. Glad we are out of this cup and can now focus on the league and fa cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageTheBeast Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Just arrived home now. First point I want to get off my chest I think it was a disgrace the club didn't run an official coach to tonight's game. Second, what a poor game that was. two shots on target all game and the sidewards backwards passing was awful to watch. Endless offsides from us, I think croft was caught at least 5 times. Ratings Cornell 4 couldn't really do anything with the goals Dieng. 4 didn't really do anything wrong but offers little Edmondson 5 looked solid until a dodgy back pass Wilson 4 not his best game gave the back pass away Brown. 3 poor no confidence to go forward Croft. 2 offered little born to be offside Jones. 2 abysmal hardly looked to go forward Philliskirk 2 never a central midfielder in a million years Green 5 looked to get forward and actually shot yeates. 6 MOM best of a bad bunch drove at the defence and looked to attack just wrong decision making at times Turner 1 poor. centre half had him in his back pocket all game needs to play alongside someone subs Murphy 3 ran around and should have had a penalty Forte 3 didn't touch the when he came on tuhoy NA I gave up watching by then Edited September 2, 2015 by SavageTheBeast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sounded like the usual backwards/sideways passing, two holding midfielders, and one up front again. Does the coach know anything else?, he seems at odds with the manager's philosophy of expansive football. How one email can cause such a u-turn... Any praise for Holden for tightening up the defence unit this season? Or does that not suit your agenda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Great result! Say it every year so might as well keep it going, :censored: cup and hate being in it. I bet there isn't one Bristol City fan who has utter the phrase "I'm so please we won the JPT" and neither would we if we won it. Well done to all involved to make it look like we fulfilled our commitment to the competition now lets leave it to the other mugs to get unnecessary bookings and injuries.

nzlatic Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 There are a few things I don't get about people being happy we lost... 1. We lost! How can that be a good thing? 2. After 20 years in the same division with hardly anything to get excited about how can we get snobby about a day out at Wembley in the 'wrong' competition? 3. We have a big squad and no reserve team, the JPT is the ideal place for the fringe players to get game time and try and show form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a big squad and no reserve team, the JPT is the ideal place for the fringe players to get game time and try and show form. The abandonment of reserve leagues has been a big mistake IMO, I'm sure many clubs (even top flight) would now like to reform for example a Central League of two divisions. Under 18s at our level and Under 21s higher are finding it hard to step up to a more a physical style football. The loanee system is I understand being changed, so we will see if that has the effect of bringing back reserve teams.

JoeP Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Booing the team off. At a JPT match. In September. Right! The delicate little flowers on the pitch should have been heartily applauded for what by all accounts was a performance full of effort and quality, just lacking a tiny bit of luck! And all our band of supporters did was have the privilege of paying out to travel to a place not just round the corner, on a Tuesday night to offer their support in a competition a lot of people regard as a waste of time. Our fans really don't know they're born.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much prefer it if we'd won - just as in every game - but the faux hysteria in the reaction of some is a nonsense. We went out of a competition that doesn't count for that much - just as in 1990 we went out of the ZDS Cup to Sheffield Utd 7-2 ! If individual players - not the manager or coach - had put away pretty straightforward chances at Bury then can anyone genuinely say the reaction to ladt night would have been the same. It was a changed team last night - and last Saturday the team played attacking football, creating chances. Are people saying that it disobeyed instructions to play cautiously?!

It's almost as if the knives were being sharpened just waiting for an excuse to stick them in. One bad JPT game and all the positives from the league games are forgotten.

SavageTheBeast Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) What really pissed me off last night was the quality of football, players should be playing with freedom. some fringe players had a chance to impress but they were far from impressive. I dont know how we are going to keep fans when playing like this we lost 350 fans from Fleetwood to Shrewsbury. People may preach we are unbeaten but it's one win seven playing dire football. It was nice of Darren kelly to go and stand in shrewsburys half when applauding the away fans...

beag_teeets Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 You mean all 40,000 who had a great day out at Wembley? Yup, as well as anyone who has any kind of affiliation with Bristol City. How can anyone with any knowledge of football take any satisfaction from their team winning this cup? To qualify you have to be in this :censored: league or below, how is that any good? If you're in doubt, go and stand in front of a mirror, put your excited face on and say excitedly "Yes! We've won the JPT cup!" Then go and get a biscuit, the biscuit will be of more value.

I want us to win every game. I hate losing. And a by product of that is wanting us to win the JPT. The way you've phrased that suggests anyone happy about winning the JPT would have fulfilled their life goals. I'd be happy about it as it might generate a winning atmosphere around the place and lead to us finally getting out of this division. Plus I'd have a great day on the piss watching it. But no, we were once founding members of the premier league don't you know, this sort of thing is beneath us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My attitude was forged in a 7-2 defeat at Sheffield United (after going 2-0 up, if i remember correctly). I didn't care then and i don't care now. It's a pointless tin pot cup which generates no interest until you get to the northern final.

NewBlue Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 How one email can cause such a u-turn... Any praise for Holden for tightening up the defence unit this season? Or does that not suit your agenda? He has a point though. Before Holden we were scoring at 1.4 goals a game. Since Holden joined we've been scoring at 1 goal a game. That is quite a big decrease. I'm not saying he is right to lay the blame on Holden - obviously a coach only has a certain influence - but the stats support BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
