Not much in the way of showing how many chances we had. Bonne is pretty unlucky with the chance in the highlights and does very well to win the ball.
We are at a stage where we get punished for everything we give away but we have to eventually learn... surely?
I am wondering if, given our lack of goals if we do try and nurture some kind of 2 up front formation. The one up front with support behind isn't working as well as it was and we need to crowd the opposition box more.
Depressing loss. It shows that without the likes of Wells, Hugill, Eze and even dare I say Leistner or Hall how much we are lacking in terms of experience and in Eze's case, sheer opportunity creating skill.
We can either slaughter this lot or get behind them.
Bonne, Dickie, Dykes, Willock, Dieng, Kakay all taking steps up. That's 6 first team players. Players like Kelman, Bettache, De Silva, Thomas on the bench.
Even with Carroll, Albert, Wallace and a few others, this is a very inexperienced team at this level. It's competing but not ticking yet.
if BOS does leave then Willock does look like a player that can play that role.
For me we may need an older spare head from the Prem to help the forward line in the next window and perhaps further investment at the back with a player that has muscle and pace.

Jesus, the 'marking' of Wells for their first goal. We can debate forever the merits of Warburton on here but if you're playing the likes of Wallace then you're going to be conceding goals on a regular basis. |  | | |

What is frustrating is that we just don't covert our chances. This has been a pattern for a while now, defensive mistakes invariably leads to conceding goals as with Bristol City's 2nd tonight. We seem to make hard work of scoring goals, and even if the opposition makes an error we never seem to capitalise on them. We play nice football at times, but the better teams in this division can mix it up a bit, we don't, so tend to scrape through and been that way since we came back down in 2015. Destined for 16th position again. [Post edited 1 Dec 2020 23:16]

I hope, as warburton is claiming here, that Kelman really is a ‘clinical finisher’, because at the moment we don’t have anyone you would put money on to take a chance. |  |

Impossible to understand what Wallace is thinking. He MUST get goal side of city’s main threat but instead stands where he can’t play any part in defending the goal. So frustrating! | | | |

But at no stage does he even look at his positioning or where he is in relation to the opposition players. Totally ball watching , just not good enough at this level. | | | |

We concede too many goals, period. We will forever be lower mid table at best whilst we let in as many as we do. We're not Barcelona or the Arsenal of old. We can't just outscore teams and win 4-3. When we let in at least 2 goals per game we unsurprisingly lose an awful lot of games. |  | | |

Yes what on earth was Wallace doing for the first goal?
He's not good enough for the Championship.
Niko should be playing so at least we will be able to find out if he will make it at this level.
In the next transfer window - we need to get a strong centre half, a holding midfielder that actually breaks up play when teams break away on us. We seem to get continually caught on the break and punished.
Unfortunately I expect BOS will leave - but who can blame him?
We're going nowhere fast.
Our forwards also need to step up and start banging in the chances that are being created. | | | |

Agreed, it’s all about defence now. We need to just be harder to beat. There is room for a powerful fast big CB in this team. Put distribution at the bottom of the list.
And we don’t have a viable back up number 10 to take the pressure off Chair. |  |

I had a feeling as we were pissing on them if we didn't get another we'd be in trouble.
On a plus note we played some lovely football (first half) pinging it about like a pinball wizard.
Lots of positives even if its hard not to feel a bit deflated after playing so well for so long. |  |

I like Warburton and the direction of the club. But. Defenders need to defend. The cross field passes can come once they’ve mastered the arts of not letting the long ball bounce, tracking the man or defending a corner.
We play some lovely stuff, and have a lot of the ball, but my take is:
We need to play Niko or sign a new left back. Wallace can’t do it.
We need a quality centre midfielder. Currently it is too often ineffective against strong teams.
We need another forward to help Dykes while we work our what Bonne’s role is. [Post edited 2 Dec 2020 9:25]

Bar that first goal, Wallace had a very good game, he looked better going forward than Niko has, who, of course, was at fault for the winner against Brentford. Manning used to make lots of mistakes in defence. Up until a few weeks ago, we had a goalkeeper who used to be culpable for one a week.
Slaughtering Wallace for one piece of bad marking last night is not helpful, just as it would not be helpful for thumping Dickie for the second. If we buy a new left-back, we are effectively giving up on Niko making it. So, then, what is the point of having young players?
I thought there were a ton of positives last night, notably Willock and Dykes.
If we get to 16th this season and keep out squad together for a play-off challenge next year, surely that is a good result. You can't say you have a long-term view and then lose it over every defeat. If we'd have still had Nahki Wells, we'd have probably won. But that's not a long-term view. [Post edited 2 Dec 2020 9:35]

I agree with almost everything you’ve written. I don’t like criticising players unduly, never have, and I’d like Wallace to become Paulo Maldini overnight as much as the next person. The club is heading in the right direction and I don’t think we can really get a better manager than Warburton for where we are and the situation we’re in at the moment.
I think Dykes is an exciting signing for the club, he’s going to be a real asset if we play him right and don’t run him into the ground. Chair too is a real prospect and further testament to the new ethos we’ve got of developing young players to sell on. | | | |

Sorry but they get a very lucky deflection on the cross for the first goal, I really don't think Wallace can anticipate that. On the whole I thought he did OK last night.
If anything single out Dickie for giving the ball away in our own half that led to the second goal.
Anyway as mentioned elsewhere we should have been at least a couple of goals up by then, so while we continue to single out the defence for the mistakes they make (and we seem to get the ultimate punishment every time at the moment), the forwards need to pull their finger out too. |  |

Yes the forwards need to sharpen up a bit but we concede too many goals. Maybe they’ve been a bit unlucky of late with one or two, but the defensive errors are so regular. It’s confidence sapping for the whole squad. A couple of clean sheets and some defensive football of our own wouldn’t go amiss sometimes. | | | |

It wasn't just the first goal though that Wallace could/should have done better on - he was miles off the pace and allowed Wells in front of him again to get the touch that set up the goal. We need another solution at LB, he's just not good enough. | |

Manning made mistakes but look how many assists/goals he contributed last season. Wallace has consistently shown he's not good enough (Coventry and Preston, for instance), yet there he is once again.
While it's good that we are promoting young talent, there has to be a balance with our recruitment to complement that. If Nico is raw, then we need a decent left back. Jesus, I used to slag off Bidwell (sorry!) but he seems more like Roberto Carlos with every game. Wallace has already cost us points this season, and we're consistently losing by the odd goal - those fine margins are the difference between success and failure.
1-0 up yesterday and playing great, then he lets his man go and we're level at half time. I'm certainly not blaming him solely for our defeat but while we continue to have these weak spots in our team, we will go backwards. | | | |
