Cotterill did not even aknowledge the fans come the end- I went north in hope today, after all the Blades had played two games since our last and were bound to be tired and would be there for the taking .... I couldn't have been more wrong (and it was me up first on 20man at 5 for the benefit of one or two on here who thought I wasn't at Oldham!!!)*United were out of the traps in a way that belied any tiredness but reflected a team with confidence, something we don't have at all. That said Moore wasn't tested and rather foolishly 5 mins b4 the break with us getting back into the game I said,* "... if we can hold out until half time and keep them quiet for the first 15 of the 2nd half we might get something", doh!!!! 1-0 down less than 90 seconds later.*In the second half we were shocking ..... no pattern to our play, no leadership .... in fact it looked like we had no ***king idea what we were doing at all.*Here are my match ratings*Moore**** 5** No better than Parrish, dreadful kicking (and to think we criticised that part of Basso's game)*Osbourne 4 Torn apart down our right flank (should be in the centre)*El Abd* 5* Can't see how Brighton fans rated him so highly*Flint*** 5*** He is what he is - av league 1 defender of limited ability**Williams 6* Did OK*Baldock* 5 Disappointing*Pack* 5 offered little protection to back 4*Elliott 7 Tried to get things moving in midfield. I'm not a fan of this 35 yr old but he showed some invention*Cunningham* 6** A few good runs*JET*** 4*****Time for him to be used as an imapct player. 1/10th of the player he was 5 months ago**Barnett 4* I can't recall a City forward offering as little as he does; zero pace, control, mobility*Subs - will just commment on Pearson; I was never a fan but I think should be given a run in the side after a reasonable contribution late on.*1st shot on target on 75 mins is a DISGRACE*So, who do we blame the players or the manager. I have to say the former as they were gutless and should apologise as a team to the 800 who made the trip.*As for SC - biggest mistake (so far)*was signing El Abd** Just back myself....Really wtf does Barnett offer??*As for coterill not even acknowledging the fans at the end, that is unforgivable. Not even a clap towards us.Not sure why the biggest cheers was when jet got subbed. Not really helpful. Yes he isn't doing great but we are not playing to his strengths. He needs the ball to feet not pumped aimlessly up the yield from Flint. Play it to the guys feet.I do fear for us
Another very unhappy fan returning from sheff utd Well let me effing tell you something cotts I'm still on poxy coach 1 coming back which is bad enough but the pathetic spineless gutless performance was a utter disgrace so tell me again how the f..k your a winner???
I really feel for those fans A lot of time, money and wasted effort. I'm sure that not many will bother next season
Was it the Wigan players who refunded the supporters money after a poor display?? C'mon boys show the supporters you care?????
They ought to be doing that on the pitch for 90 minutes in every single game...................If they did we wouldn't be in this mess
My grandson went as he always does...he was treated to a totally inept performance, all that distance & money, the young lad deserves better for his 100% support of his team!
We all deserve better but these players are only worried about one thing, and that is themselves. Early next season they will come out and say they deserve to be playing in a higher league based on their skills. Our recent history not only shows the lack of commitment from all associated with Bristol city, but our continual excuses made by our list of mangers on behalf of the players is well past it's best before date. Shut up the rhetoric and start making promises come true before it's too late and you run out of time, and that will happen in the next 2 weeks unless you start winning. Don't any of you expect our sympathy when you treat us like fools.
He did acknowledge the fans in his report - in fact he used them as a blunt instrument to batter his players publicly. One can only assume he was trying to decide whose hair needed drying first as he walked off the pitch, menacingly, towards the changing rooms
Oh no it's Red Robins let's look for every comment negative to Cotterill. He done this on Del and then switched it by trawling the internet looking for positive comments on SoD you know the one that would walk into any championship club or possibly Premiership as soon as he left us
Mike - I reckon our Waterloo is on Saturday against Gillingham. If we fail to win at home yet again then it's curtains
