Championship - Bristol City vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread

[hallamblue]

They are vulnerable at the top of their 18yard area. Get Chappers on the ball more …

[Bluemike]

I think Hutchinson on around the hour mark, he'll rip them a new arse hole tbh

[hallamblue]

How was that not a foul on Hirst by their GK ???


Jackson very underwhelming for me

[Bluemike]

We really need better from Hirst at times, it's not good enough, 2 or 3 times this half already he's been set up and fluffed it with control

[hallamblue]

God were so frustrating in front of goal tonight . I hope we don’t regret these missed chances.


I think Hirst’s game has been outstanding tbh

Atm I think we need to up our game .

[Bluemike]

Unfortunately I disagree with that, did well first half but as is often the case he looks shot atm

[Cabanas Blue]

Hirst works hard but just can not control the ball and looks slow at making decisions on what he should do.

[hallamblue]

FFS Town WAKE UP

[Mauswara]

That was quite close to an equaliser wasn't it?

[hallamblue]

Hirst and I’ve two others look tired out there now. We need another striker on….. and Scarlett’s not the answer lol

Tbh we look like a team that’s not played in nearly 3weeks . So many players who have lost that first touch imho

[Cabanas Blue]

Lucky Lucky Town Phew !!

[Charnwood]

I thought Hirst had an excellent first half but less so in the second. For me he does a lot that goes unnoticed especially for a striker. For me Hladky has been brilliant again and could well add another clean sheet to his name. As BM said it will be no surprise if a second goal involves Hutchinson whose turn of speed could cause havoc.

Great last ditch defending by Brandon Williams who just saved Leif Davis from an embarrassment

[Charnwood]

Tbh I’ve yet to see Scarlett do much at all in a Town shirt.

[Bluemike]

Second best the whole Second half

[Charnwood]

To be fair Bristol are really giving it a go which could leave them wide open in midfield and space at the back for us to bag a second.

[Charnwood]

Second best the whole Second half

We can afford to be of we’re confident of keeping a clean sheet.

[hallamblue]

I think Williams is struggling now ….

[Bluemike]

This Scarlett kid is hopeless

[hallamblue]

Tbh I’ve yet to see Scarlett do much at all in a Town shirt.

I’ve seen more pace in a wooden donkey .

[Charnwood]

We just need to slow the game a little and keep hold of the ball a lot more.

I don’t understand what McKenna see’s in him but then who are we to judge.

[hallamblue]

6mins of hell

[hallamblue]

OMG well done Town . We didn’t look our usual slick selves did we but we’ve battled well again.
A BIG win

[Bluemike]

Massive win that, we are very resolute but that second half was so uncomfortable for me.

[Blue Wilf]

Stressful but that will do very nicely. Roll on saturday!

[JohnnyB]

Hope Stoke hold their lead

[hallamblue]

Gotta ask this of you guys. Can anyone see what McKenna seems to see in Scarlett? To me he’s slow, heavy, off the pace , comes in and doesn’t even put pressure on their defenders. What is the point of him?

[number 9]

Five points behind Leicester with a game in hand. Another clean sheet. I wonder how Walton feels about being number two? Nice to see Broadhead get a goal. Tough game, and we prevailed. COYB!

My gran would be quicker than him if she was still alive

I actually thought Hirst played well, in defence also. He did tire though but he gives so much to the team. He seemed to slow right down after getting clattered by their goalie.
We also at times looked so rusty but 3 points is massive, really great result and bet Mark Ashton is a happy chappie

[Charnwood]

Every game the defence can keep a clean sheet gives the team a great opportunity to win even when not at their best.
