Johnson has been the worst player on the pitch 6 or 7 times and hes still getting starts. I'm agreeing with you haha. Just saying he didn't stand out as really good but did the job quietly and effectively. Deserved the chance to show he can do it consistently. Especially considering were just back from an international break, no one should be tired - apart from Saville and mcnair. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,396 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) It's quite similar to the line-up that beat them a few months ago. Only fit current player missing from then is Tavernier. Link to post Share on other sites

But we have 5 games in the space of 2 weeks (just about) so I think it's a bit unfair to say players have been "dropped" when it's far more likely that he's just rotating the squad. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,648 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Team screams out putting men behind the ball and hoping for a set piece or bit of magic from Roberts or Akpom. I would of liked to see Tavernier and Roberts playing together in behind the Akpom but unfortunately Warnock won't come away from the wing back position. Not his fan at all, but I hope Spence comes in and performs and bounces back from being out the side recently. No excuses tonight as for me he's playing in his best position.

Rotating the squad is only a useful tactic when youre still picking up the wins. Im not convinced thats going to happen tonight with that lineup, but let's see! Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Although I hate the line-up, one thing I will say is Bristol's midfield 3 includes Paterson and Weimann*, so I'm thinking the midfield battle is a potential area we could get the upper hand on. *Although both did play in midfield in the game at the Riverside last season, and we got shown up then.

When is the last time we controlled a midfield? We've stiffled midfields for years but i don't think we've actually dictated play since leadbitter and clayts. Maybe the first couple of mikel games before he got turned in a pulis midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites
johnhorse 35 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 On sky sports red button. I reckon we will sneak a win here. Always do ok at Ashton Gate and I’m normally there to watch. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mean control, just think the midfield battle is ours to take in terms of winning the ball and the physical challenge of it. If that makes sense? Edit: I suppose in a round about way I do mean control, but in a sense of not allowing Bristol to dictate or control the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites
