Bristol City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

The other thing is Bristol City, Bristol fcukin City had a game in midweek that went to extra time. We've had a fcukin week off.  Dear God it's shocking.

They didn't even have their best striker today... I notice Kodjia was absent.

[Oscar Arce]

I think Ayew is in the last chance saloon after another sullen performance, we can't have anyone like that in the team anymore.
Bristol City FFS!!!!
The nightmare continues...

[Toronto Villa]

I don't even know what Ayew is. He's like a hybrid of good at some stuff unless at others. It's almost like he takes the place of a proper striker should we actually find one in the next few days.

Most of their team today didn't play in the LC game.

steveeuro1982 you obviously realise that after Lickey Hills they will get couple of hours rest getting to Brecon so I suggest they are made to run along A38 to Barr Beacon and then back to BMH!

A unique opening rant BTW...Welcome😂

I watched today - from the home end - :0(. We were cracking first half, bossed it and a smart goal from Grealish.

Positives:
-looked totally comfortable for 45 mins
-de laet looked like an actual defender and won lots of headers, rare for a full back
-jedinak's beard
-jack, when he was in the game, classy

Negatives (aside from the second half fold, again):
-Westwood. Visibly lost his bottle after half time. Looked and played as if shell shocked. The sooner Tish or a new player permanently replaces him the better
-Amavi, happy to cut him some slack after so long out, but his positional sense needs improving and he needs to find the attacking rhythm and confidence he had a year ago
-Ayew. He can't be in the same team as McCormack, in my view, both strikers who don't occupy dangerous positions, we can't carry two of those and Jack.

Not much else to fault, just a shit 10 mins took the gloss off what would otherwise have been a competent but otherwise unspectacular away win.

Keeper is useless. Makes Guzan look like Schmeichel...

Hmmm...

After today, I definitely know what Jordan Ayew is.

[LukeJames]

FFS, there goals were pathetic, the 2nd straight through the fucking centre of us.

[Uknowthescore]

Ayew looks like he don't want to know. Just watch him when grealish scores he don't give a Fuk

[devilla]

Our fuckwittery knows no bounds. I lost count of the number of free kicks we conceded around the edge of our box. Sooner or later, one will go in and sure enough it did. We're still far too slow in midfield, toothless in attack and I've got my doubts about Gollini. Seven bookings too. Seven. Don't think they were all deserved butwe're going to start getting suspensions because of these soon.

Yet again we go one up and end up losing. I said after the Huddersfield game that we need a sports psychologist to sort the players heads out.

Beginning to have doubts about RDM too. Time for him to really earn his pay.

Ironic that the one player we were keenest to keep, Jordan Ayew, is now probably the most dispensable.

[Dan England]

Five games in and we have looked good for an awful lot of those 5 games. A lot of new players, new management team and new owner will all take time to settle,  understand and build a team. After a defeat like today it's is easy to get very downhearted but we won't turn round 5 years of a losing mentality in 5 or 6 games over 3 weeks. We need to have patience, as hard as it is,  and let the team develop.

The teams that have started well are teams that the vast majority played together last season. It doesn't mean the same teams will finish as strongly, and it doesn't mean we won't learn how to close games out.

[Des Little]

Ayew can go as far as I'm concerned. Whatever we can get for him - I'd take a goldfish and a balloon. He simply doesn't give a flying fuck.
