Nuff Said 5,119 Posted October 31, 2020 Same old story this season, we struggle against the physical sides who put 10 men behind the ball and hope to nick one on the break. Against the sides who try and play football, we’re able to exploit our strengths. The difference this time is that we’re a little more physical and streetwise and we’re doing enough - just - to get results against the likes of Wycombe and Birmingham. And that’s despite some injuries which looked to seriously compromise the team, plus Cantwell not at his best. Very promising so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted October 31, 2020 Can someone explain why the goal was Hanley's error please. Because I see a runner carve through and being allowed to so easily, when Hanley was shepherding his guy🤔 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 31, 2020 Mad how keen people were to write Marco simply off the back of last season, he is in the same bracket of so many of our players who did not perform well in the prem - but he proved essential in our promotion campaign and there was no reason to believe he could not replicate that this time round. Although I missed the first 10 minutes I actually think Pukki has been a bit sloppy that first half - sure two goals is great but his link up play has not been quite as sharp as it can be. Several times he was played in with good passes and his first touch let him down - usually he can set himself much better IMO. Sure he will get plenty more chances if the second half is anything like the first! Also great to see Buendia score, and what a goal too. Not many players in this league would've been able to control that, hold off the defender and then find the far post. Overrated? I don't think so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,119 Posted October 31, 2020 So - do we tighten up second half, maybe withdraw Placheta for someone like Tettey or McLean, or carry on as we are and look to score more? Definitely the latter for me, Bristol should only get more open as the game goes on, and the confidence generated by a big win against a promotion rival would be really valuable.
