Particularly in the second half.
We were a bit slow out of the blocks and the front unit wasn't functioning very well for the whole game (lack of togetherness led to players with the ball becoming isolated). Some of our build-up play was excellent, but unfortunately the end product did not materialise.
As the game went on, a bit too much backward passing crept in - eventually to the 'keeper, followed by long punt and head tennis (which we often lost).
Bristol were that little bit sharper with getting the second/third ball and intercepting passes. They were at least as physical as ourselves (tho apparently not in the ref's eyes).
Massive deflection for their third. From where I was sat, not in a position to comment on offsidedness. Up to that point, thought we stood a pretty equal chance of scoring a second. |  |

Massive deflection on the first as well.
We didn't really get out of the starting blocks today, but were very unlucky with two of the goals. No chance for Bart.
The usual bedwetters are out in force though. |  |

Very unlucky with two of the goals but then they did hit the bar and Flint missed a header he'd normally stick away. We weren't at the races today. |  |

By the standards of Championship football matches, it isn't really, tho. The average winning margin today was 2.29 goals. There was no running riot like Wolves/Burton or Hull/Brum. | |

You can dress it up how you like , yes two goals were deflections , I think we've had our fair share of deflected goals , the fact is we were out thought by a Bristol side , out thought by a manager that people were slating here in the summer , and as a team under this regime , we seem to have no plan b , that is worrying | | | |

We weren't 'out thought'. They played the same game a bit better and sharper than we did. What were Bristol doing any different tactically? | |

It was an odd game to be honest, played in 3 clear phases for me.
First 20 minutes they murdered us.
Rest of first half was pretty even and we played some good attacking football.
Whole second half was just a tedious slog with little decent football played by either team.
I've seen a lot of moaning about the ref, but in all honesty I don't think he got too much wrong. Lots of niggly 50/50s including Garner and half of them went against him - we shouldn't complain too much seeing as everyone on here acknowledges that Garner is a horrible niggling/cheating type of player who seems to go out of his way to push the rules. |  |

Can’t agree with that I’m afraid.
I thought as good as we were Tuesday we were poor yesterday. Midfield was the problem for me again and some poor habits creeping back in at times - pass it up to the half way line and then either pass it back or lump it forward aimlessly. |  | | |

The only people I see out in force are those desperately looking for 'bedwetters'
Pretty much everyone has said we weren't up for it yesterday, slow, second best to everything. If that's bedwetting then you're doing exactly the same
To say there wasn't much in it is just completely wrong, Bristol were better than us in every single position, smarter, hungrier, busier.
To point out these obvious things doesn't make you less of a supporter |  |

There are some people going overboard - these are the same people that go overboard whenever we lose. These are the bedwetters.
Most have offered a fair assessment.
"To say there wasn't much in it is just completely wrong" - no, this just happens to be your opinion. Football is a game of opinions. I happen to agree with the OP. That doesn't make me wrong, I just have a different opinion to you.
I haven't said anyone is less of a supporter. | |

There was a huge difference between the two teams, did you really think we were even remotely close to them? | |

Well we had two chances to score well saved by Fielding, a few blocked shots. They managed the game well aided and abetted by the fortunate deflected goal early on. I don't think it helped that Garner was being fouled a lot of the time and the ref turned a blind eye as it nulified one of our biggest threats.
Bristol deserved to win it, just, but I don't think there was as much in it as some say. | |

Garner wasn't even looking at the ball majority of the time when jumping, I'd say he was definitely the one fouling. But I mean what else is he suppose to do when he's being marked by a bloke 7foot tall and getting balls in the air to him | |

That's some exaggeration. We were well beaten, deservedly so for reasons outlined, but until the last 10 minutes it was a Championship game where just one thing has to fall for or against you. | |

Yes, I did. They won because of two hugely deflected goals. We were under par but they weren't that far ahead of us. They were better on the day but I don't think there's an awful lot between the teams in terms of talent. We just had most of our best players out of sorts on the day.
It was largely a Championship slog, and they came out on top IMO.
They certainly didn't destroy us like Fulham last season, for example. | |

A lot of people around me were commenting on the loss of Adeyemi (whom I have not yet had the chance to watch live) in warm up. For all Nydam's industry, did that affect the team significantly? | |

Agree to an extent but what can't go unnoticed was the lack of creativity from us once Mcgoldrick and Celina came off.
We reverted back to launching it long to 2 7ft cbs. That's what drove the fans away in the first place and Mick seemed happy to let them carry on doing it in the last 20 mins | |

I think so; I think we missed his strength and power in the middle plus experience too. I think at times Skuse was, understandably, having to shepherd Nydam through the match instead of being able to focus on his own game - with Adeyemi being there he only has to look after himself.
Plus Nydam tired as the match went on; had McGoldrick not gone off injured we would have surely subbed him. Our midfield was weakened as it was but that just exacerbated the problem. | |

Definitely — Adeyemi just such a better physical presence, wins headers and tackles, gets you up the pitch too. No slight on Nydam to say we'd have, in my view, been far better with Adeyemi in there. Nydam will be an excellent player and did well but it wasn't the game for him in that role. We do have such persistently poor fortune on the injury front and it is really testing the patience. | |

I think so.
You need a physical presence, which Adeyemi has, in central midfield and whilst Nydam looks good technically I thought he was very lightweight yesterday. | | | |
