Feared a second half onslaught from Rovers but it never happened, they really look a poor team. All the ten men deserve credit, Hendo ran his socks off and could/should have won it, Hart impressed again. Really not sure what the situation is with Clough. Point ok under the circumstances but I really can't see Bristol troubling too many sides this season and it's a missed opportunity. |  | | |

Hart mom for me. We had the two best chances of the second half. No problem with Cannon coming on for Inman as he had been booked and we needed some fresh legs. A point gained but I wonder how many we would have got with eleven players for the full game. |  | | |

Expect the Rovers fans see that as 2 points dropped. Agree with the sentiments about the red card .be interesting to see if there are any similar 'challenges' in other games and how they are dealt with. Hazard a guess Williams for Inman, instead of Clough coming on. Was a, the former has been doing better in training. b, Williams is part of the long term plans. | |

We aren't in a position for long term we need short term and Williams isn't either for me currently | | | |

Williams came on for Gillam. |
Duh don't know why I put him. But same point though swapping the incorrect player.
Also similar for Cannon coming on instead of Clough. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 22:17]

Strange game tonight. In the first half we played better than them but they could (should) have been 3-0 up by half time, thanks to two easy easy chances and a rattled crossbar. Not sure what the red card was for tbh, should’ve been a yellow. The second half I genuinely forgot we had a man less as we looked the more likely of the two sides to win in it although the quality on show from both sides was pretty poor.
The defence looked calamitous once again, albeit more assured when Williams deputised for McNulty. Hart continues to get forward well and causes far more problems with his crossing than Done. Henderson was fantastic and my MOM, he must’ve been watching Pittman closely on Saturday because he delivered an expert display of how to draw consistent fouls from opponents.
All in all, I would’ve been disappointed with a point before the game but I’m pleased given the circumstances. And we’ve moved up two positions! |  | | |

Are you for real ? Raff has done well so far, tonight. What"s your problem with him ? |
The only criticism I would have of Rafferty tonight, particularly in the first half, was that some of his crosses were very poorly directed. |  |

Same story. We’ve been largely dominant, look good going forward but yet again have been undone by defensive lapses.
Red card for Norman, poor decision making from our keeper, but I’m not sure he was the last man.
Either way, we’ve handicapped ourselves again. |
There's no such thing as "last man". That's a phrase invented by the media. | |

I think we might be hearing about "poor personal decision making" again in a few minutes |
Why? | |

Thought it was an entertaining game, first half open and attacking, second half more cagey due to the obvious but we could, maybe should, have won it
Our defence looked so much better once Jim was taken off
Hart again superb both in defence and attack, this lad is going to be some player. The way he nipped the ball past their fullback and in the same movement bringing his foot out to stop the ball from going into touch in the first half was something you rarely see at this level
Clean sheet at last, but we had 2 or 3 great chances to win it; in saying we need to be more clinical i feel like smacking myself in the mouth for stating the bleeding obvious |  |

We played well and deserved the point, under the circumstances, but it will be looked back on as a case of what could’ve been. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 21:41]

I didn't realise I was, nor that things were being monitored in such a way. Apologies if so.
I'm just intrigued about why he/she thinks the manager will say that, as after watching the game, the only lack of personal decision-making probably came from Norman, although I would like to see the incident again.
All the other players showed a whole lot of personal responsibility to earn a point, so it seems a bizarre insinuation to make. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 22:41]

I thought we did. Lots of endeavour and played some good stuff at times considering we were down to ten.
It wasn’t brilliant, but it was a good performance taking all circumstances into account. | |

Prior to Normans rush of blood, Jim made a couple of terrible decisions, plus you yourself just mentioned Rafferty's crossing was off tonight.
I'd add that Perkins also misplaced quite a few relatively easy passes as the game wore on.
I'd imagine that Hill will be the more pleased of the two Managers to have come away with a point. However, I'm increasingly of the opinion that you just can't tell what he is thinking, or going to say  |
I'd agree with that, although I wouldn't put the Rafferty and Perkins misdemeanours into the brackets of 'personal decision-making', more like 'poor play'.
Like you say, though, who knows? | |

Odd that we should be reduced to 10 men, remove McNulty from the field and we are a better performing team as a result.
Maybe we should have won it, with a bit more luck we might have done, but a well earned hard-fought point was welcome. |  |

Its not being monitored - its just so obvious but I'm sure YD will accept your apologies.
As for Hill coming out with the poor decision making comments - he often does (its never his fault or he's never picked the wrong team). | |

Mcnulty is a calamity.
As the ball came forward, he looked at mcgahey... at the ball... at mcgahey and then left it anyway!
Norman had no choice but to come out and try and do something. Absolutely shite. |  |

Not really. Played well with Henderson excellent. Rovers were poor and we’ll be disappointed not to have won. |
I thought we were poor, they had some really good chances thanks to our poor defending. Rathbone and Perkins frequently gave the ball away. Things improved when calamity Jim went off, but the team didn’t seem up for it, and the piss poor crowd was very quiet. I was feeling bored, although I did stay to the end for the second time this season |  |

The sending off actually made us better i thought in the second half and thats because we went more direct, moving the ball forward and looking to create chances, whereas with 11 in the first half we reminded me of van gaals uniteds team, lots of possession and keeping the ball in midfield and defence with very little intent to get us forward, its not particulary entertaining to watch and it certainly isn’t yielding the points.
Sam hart is a great attacking outlet down that left hand side and i’m more than impressed after seeing him tonight.
How cannon isn’t starting games for us really is baffling to me, he should he in this side most games.
The mystery of zach clough continues, if ever there was a time to bring him on it was when Gillam retired off hurt, instead he went with williams (who i didn’t think was too bad tbh, but of course people will want to lynch him, as thats the in thing to do at the minute) Think we’re better off sending him back if we aren’t going to bother playing the lad. |  |

I’m as glad I didn’t bother driving over tonight as I was on Saturday now. Starting to think I’m sorry for bothering with the season ticket again this year. |  | | |
