Had a good view from my seat high up in home end, Bristol city fans are awful, so quiet. Particularly compared to Bristol Rovers (who I frequent as a local). Their reaction during Toth injury was laughable. Miller my man of match, city were awful and didn't think we were much better, but a good away performance. We were much the better side.

Same was with home fans couple years ago when we got battered, as I get free tickets via work. Head in hands that one They weren't even singing til 4 nil up... Worst thing is I'm also a Bristol rovers fan so hate going to the stadium full stop!

I never thought ribeiro / pickering would be getting so little gametime. For me a strong CM is vital.. CB cover (miller can cover rwb?) and a winger STILL NEEDED. Forwards are okay if we're sticking to Gueye as backup.. if he's not good enough move on and sign someone else. I'm on the fence.

Good changes, yuki looks up for it so hoping for some good link up play with morishita. I thought Wharton has looked v solid more worried about mcloughlin getting turned inside out

Their team on paper is leagues above ours..

Signed by Bristol rovers and started their 1st game after straight away. They then lost their 3rd game 4-0 or so in a row and his lb got sent off. Some return!

Still cause for concern, 1st goal a cross that went in, second a poachers looseball. Forward line don't look much up to it otherwise. We're a much better team with Cantwell in it. I did think our back 3 looked okay, albeit a bit slow up against Armstrong.etc. Toth two excellent saves. Hedges the better option over De Neve for me.. not sure about morishita so far. I'm liking the look of Miller however.

he did start the attack to be fair, we've looked much better since the 3 subs

if it was Ohashi he might of scored!

we look like a team that have made 4-5 signings that haven't worked out, still no pace. Hickman just doesn't seem to have composure, so we're winning the ball then instantly giving it away. Something we're missing from in Travis. He wasn't technically brilliant but at least retained possession. Hard to watch.

This where gueye would look more dangerous than Ohashi, we're actually putting balls into the box

I'm seeing news that they're using a Leyton orient game last year as the precedent (called off past 80th minute). Very different with red and yellow cards involved. May be speculation though. Any proof that we have drainage issues though it's a no brainer. No proof then maybe they are considering something progressive

Be interesting to see if their red and 4 yellows are wiped.

Frustrating as would have been a promising result and put us in a good league position. Lots to play for ofc but a big game to win. Guaranteed to lose replay

I do think this could work well with a back 5 and with our squad, could be quite dominant, just when do back 5s ever work? We've 3 options LWB only 1 RWB? Unless Miller can play there.

Tavares is a big weak link in this team. I'm not seeing what he will offer. Is he better off the ball than I'm seeing? As I'd put a youth player in ahead of what I've seen so far.. Would drop cantwell to cm personally to pull the strings (and cant be worse than tavares in a tackle) and get gudjohnson shoehorned in, he looks a player so far. Excited to see a full debut.

Dawson would be an upgrade for a season. He probably knows he'd get gametime here and not so much at Brum, which is important in your swan song..

Do we have a replacement lined up? Ludicrous

Can't judge the season on a few games, but the 'bad luck' and such will need to change. Iv only seen highlights but Kargbo had a guilt edge chance to maybe steal a point. 100% a sending off.. wasn't fast enough and stupidly pulls back, cost us the game.

I think getting 1m each for Buckley, JRC and Leonard is good business, none of them looked like being very useful or pushing on (except JRC when not injured) hope they all go on to do well though. Massive gamble of a window but I'm weirdly excited to see how these guys do. I think the new Japanese winger and Gudjohnson if it goes through could be good signings. Hope we utilise loan spots well, maybe some experience in the league ie Baker last year.

Tavares offered nothing in play also.. short side passes and can't defend. What does he do. Screwed if trav leaves Makes you hate football being cheated though, would of held on

Seen a few replays and looks a horrendous dive, should be a yellow to their player. How many dodge pen decisions can we get ! Apparently Birmingham feel refs have been against them all season too..

They physically overpowered us in my opinion, with the refs help got away with it. The sending off being earlier in game would of been apt. Always frustrating to watch. Foul on our player for their goal and for put pen appeal. We didn't look like scoring, certainly concerning for the season ahead.

I'd be very happy with Miyoshi, can't see us doing much better. Good Dolan replacement and we need someone with champ experience. Maybe Brittain sale has released the funds for axel/him/Miller. On Axel signing if CM I've always said tronstad and Travis are a negative pairing. Good to have more creative options to rotate in. Maybe this has been recognised rather than planning to offload one. Which will happen next season anyway.

Buckley on way out? Garrett too assuming. jrc needed as right back cover.. Someone who can carry ball/be more creative in cm is very needed in certain games for us, trav and tronstad can be a bit of a negative pairing. Whether this guy can do it well enough is to be seen.
