Bristol City Commentary

Saints with possession. Skacel goes down in box City clear.

Tbh, I don't think we will get anything from this game. It's all effort with no result.

Saints press again again City clear.

Corner after corner but ball won't drop for us.

City attack shot comes in deflected of Cork for a corner. Saints attack Lallana pumps forward Pekhart jumps heads weakly goalwards.

Saints again through McGoldrick makes wrong decision. Yet again comes to nothing.

Time running out as we keep giving ball away.

Nice passing but bugger all else.


All over. Back to the same old rubbish.

Saints press but everything in slow motion. FT.

Poor again at home and in front of the Sky cameras.
Never in the game and only Davis kept score respectable.

I suppose that's what we get for daring to think that Saints had turned a corner last week. Depressing.

We made a few nice moves but have to change system at home before it is to late.

It's taken Portaloo months to realise that he has to make changes during games, so I can't imagine him changing the whole home system in a hurry. Dave Merrington was saying on Solent that Saints' system are set up to play away, not home and that's why the team are coming unstuck at home. God, it's so FRUSTRATING!! :twisted:

i reckon it was an un fair game lol xxx

PU It's frustrating because it's so goldarn obvious. What I would like to know is why play Gobern on Tuesday if he was going to play him again today?

We were crap unfortunately . Davis was good (and I'm not a big fan)...........the rest of em were next to useless.
JP is out of his depth tbf.

It's obvious to you, me and every other Saints fan, yet not to the people it should be obvious to - the idiots who run this club.

As for Gobern, stupid, isn't it? Gobern had to play an extra midweek game and this has obviously affected his performance today as he was not the player who transformed the game last week.

By all accounts he had a good game as well on Tuesday. As did Jamie White.

Just got back from work (I should of stayed there)

Thanks for the commentry teamsaint

Sparkle; as you said it was an unfair game; So who let Bristol City on to the pitch

just thought i put my view of the game.......... we looked ok at the start then it went all down hill second half they out played us and up front they got a big striker as for the tatics completly wrong where at home we should play 4 4 2 not 4 5 1 also today i am shore we got a jinx on us in fact i now believe we have the ball seemed to go to them every 50 50 ball etc. going to have to get my mate back the old witch to clear this hoodoo up. anyway we lost the tv was there again enough said roll on wolves time they got pegged back and what a better place to do it then at st marys

Thanks for that guys. Watching it last night on Sky, I didn't think it was all doom and gloom. Saints seemed to play some fairly good stuff but too often their goal efforts were from long range and they needed to find a way to crack BC's defence and get clear shots at goal.

Where was Schneiderlin? Didn't know he was injured....

Well said Pagan. Only problem is that they have a squad full of big strong players. God I miss the Dell.Teams used to go there expecting a game not a walkover. Good thing is that the team still kept trying and don't seem to give up. Another point is Morgan. No news as to why he didn't play. Hope he isn't injured because he was sorely missed.

According to the BBC the scorer of the goal hadn't found the net since August 2007. How come we're always the team who allow the opposition to end bad runs and other players to end scoring droughts? It's not new, we've always done it, but it is annoying.
