* The Unofficial "Official"- Boro v Bristol City - Match-Day Thread *

This is a joke

One of those days

 

[bostonboro]

Smith and Jones both out of sorts here. Right side looking vulnerable.

Alas Smith and Jones

 

[Craggsy2]

We need to really go for it second half and show caution to the wind, I can’t stomach another 1-0 home defeat to this lot

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

Was that a penalty call? Should’ve shot.. we’ve got a fear of scoring here..

We get far too many of those days for my liking if I'm honest.

 

[zzzzz]

played well goal aside

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

played well goal aside

And jones aside…

 

[ForssAwakens]

Can’t fault the lads there. Jones only one below par

Akpom quiet

McGree has been class

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Why do keepers always have worldies against us

 

[Teesste]

Their goal aside it actually had been a decent first half performance. Their keeper has made 4 or 5 top saves and we’ve restricted them to occasional counter attacks .. one of which we got caught out on!

Surely if we carry on like this we get back into the game. I think if we can get an early equaliser they will crumble.

 

[Chappy112]

Loads of positives from that half, we actually look class on the ball for once. Hackney looks like the midfielder we've needed for a long time.

McGree, Hackney and Howson have been great. Forss and Giles have been good. Jones and Smith having a stinker but Jones is absolutely not hiding, he will keep having a go and was involved in some good moves towards the end of that half.

This is unbelievably frustrating. It's like Bristol City have some kind of voodoo magic keeping the ball out of their net. Obviously we can't get a penalty either, because we're us.

 

[Branca2]

I’ve never seen anything like Jones’s dip in form. It’s pretty shocking.

No because Jones throws himself to the floor

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Hackney and Howson have been class in midfield.

 

[Teesste]

Hackney has been outstanding so far today. For me his best game yet.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

I’ve never seen anything like Jones’s dip in form. It’s pretty shocking.

He kept going though, as he always does and I still think we're more likely to create better chances through him rather than from the left

Very unlucky to be behind.

Well, this geezer would only have saved it anyway. So I guess it doesn't matter.

 

[Priv]

I’ve never seen anything like Jones’s dip in form. It’s pretty shocking.

Almost all his assists last year and I include the own goals scored in that came from him getting to byline or behind the fullback and putting the ball to front post or the penalty spot. He’s stopped doing that he keeps crossing (badly) or simply turning into the defender.

Was he over coached?
