[Bristols_finest]

i'm afraid there are those on both sides that would take advantage and abuse that "privilege"

'Tis a shame, I probably would have been along for pay on the day but couldn't take the risk of buying them in advance due to other commitments some point this afternoon. You're right though, I'm sure there are good reasons for it being all ticket.

Where did you hear we sold around 550?

 

[South Bristol Gas]

Good test for us tonight, Yeovil was worst than what we were playing in non league. I'd be happy with a point. Hope we start with Jermaine Easter and Ellis Harrison up top.

Ah right, i only use the forum for info tbh.

 

[Chippy]

Closer it gets more nervous I get!! Desperate for that first win of season but watched BR couple times last year and looked a decent side that can only be better now.

Considering we signed 2,516 defenders in the summer - I think we have only kept 2? clean sheets Since the start of pre-season. This has obviously got to change. Just going to out score teams isn't gonna work when we waste glorious chances like we did on Saturday. (Ahem, Benson, CMS, Cam)

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

The actual defenders I think have actually been alright, Wilko and Cuthbert have been really great so far for instance. The defensive problem, such as it is, is Doyle and Smith who have been crap so far.

nice one,shows Poxford as the part timers they really are!!

 

[Gashead]

Well how about that? Finishes 1-0!

Not bad at all, sounds deserved.

 

[SF_]

Luton did my coupon, hope Brentford find a clause that means they don't get any of the Andre Gray money. c***.

 

[miagsygas]

Sounds fully deserved that, think following the commentary we had more chances and possession and lovely for Sincs to get his first league goal against the club who released him as a youngster. Great player and couldn't think of someone so deserving for that moment. Decent start back into league football.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

We were absolutely pathetic tonight, the amount of times we gave the ball away with sloppy passes and play was shocking.

Might be as bad as I've seen us at under Still.

How do you think we'll fair at this level on that display FCH?

 

[Laker]

Is Still going to last long or are the knives being sharpened? I wasn't watching Luton's results at the end of last season that closely but given the fall from automatic spot to outside the play offs I guess the combined points haul from end of last season and this must be quite low?

For the record, I think Still has done a great job and it would be madness to sack him but I imagine the pressure is building now.

 

[TheHatter]

I've no idea what I just saw then to be honest, no movement, no effort, no organisation, constant hoofing and not a single shot on target that I can recall. Why Still insists on playing 3-5-2 is beyond me, it clearly doesn't work and half the players look lost as if they don't understand where or how they're meant to be playing. McCourt looks like he can't be bothered and often just walks around the pitch despite the fact he's a centre mid. Benson offers next to nothing up front whilst Marriott who looks a promising player is left on the bench to be brought on for 5 minute cameos at the end? If Still lines up with the same team next time it'd be completely inexplicable.

No complaints about the result at all, fully deserved win and wasn't at all surprised when the goal went in.

 

[Judge Dredd]

We didn't have a single shot on target tonight. Not even a shit scuffed one that trickled into the keeper. In fact I think we only had two shots off target, both in the first half and one of which nearly cleared the Oak Road.

Bristol could and should have won 3-0 and we quite probably should have been down to 10 men in the first half.

Beyond woeful. Please, please, please let that be the end of the 3-5-2 experiment.

Difficult to say as we were dreadful, I don't think you will come across too many teams as poor as we were tonight. Hope that doesn't sound like I'm belittling your performance as that's not my intention. You should have really scored a few more to be honest as in particular I think your forward Harrsion will be disappointed with some of his finishing. Defensively I couldn't tell you as we ha nothing going on up there tonight.

You seemed fairly solid though and solid will get you far in this division.

Still is fine, he needs to find his best set up with this group of players that's all I think. I didn't hear anyone calling for his head near me and I sit near some right knobs.

We tend to start quite slowly under him too, I don't think he's in any danger of getting the sack.

 

[Kenneth E End]

That was absolutely atrocious - no sugar-coating it, we deserved to lose 100%. You can excuse a system not working, but when the players show no ambition, intent or tempo to put it right, something is clearly wrong. There is no excuse for hard work and the players simply did not put in a shift. You won't get away with that at any level, certainly not in League 2.

We have reliable players from several seasons that look totally lost at the moment - Nathan Doyle, Scott Griffiths and Jonathan Smith. They've looked clueless on that field.

The year we got promoted from the Conference we had 11 points after 10 games I think - winning just 2 of our opening 8 games.

 

[E10rifle]

Can't believe Barceluton aren't tearing up the League yet. Thought CMS was the final piece of the jigsaw?

 

[oakroader]

every season it seems to start like this
with our fellow posters taking the piss!
the pre-season excitement is starting to wain
but feeling too demoralised we must refrain.
the season is long and full of twists surprises and shocks
lets hope we can get though this early period of heartache stress and knocks
Mr Still needs to quickly find a settled and winning formation
then we will start to wake up and escape from our current dormant situation.
the clock is ticking Mr Still so start using all your experience
because we all know what will be for you- the inevitable consequence!!

Just got back home and I am still absolutely over the moon. Terrific away performance from the boys once again and the victory was no less than we deserved.

We dominated for long periods and if we were more clinical with our many, many chances we would have won the game 3 or 4-0 - and that's not an exaggeration. As the clock ticked by in the second half I did fear that Luton, with the players they have, would deal us an undeserved sucker punch, but we coped with everything pretty easily overall. When Sincs got played through and hammered it home, it's fair to say the away end erupted! Scenes like that make being a Gashead worthwhile.

A superb team performance from everybody involved.

Oakey, in the circumstances I have to say I am more than happy to have lost 3 points in your predicta tonight!

under the lights at the Kennel is often a good game regardless of who we play, as long as the opposition fans,no matter of their numbers,contribute to the atmosphere unlike some....???

Bit ironic given how quiet you lot were on Saturday?

400 is the kind of support tiny clubs like barnet get at home
