I wouldn't say he's suited as a number 10 but definitely a box to box midfielder. Quality performance. I said last season that I thought him, McNair and Howson were the only shining lights out of last season. You must be kidding me regarding Johnson. I'm not his biggest fan at all but he was solid defensively tonight and won all his challenges. Categorically not true. 6 duels, 2 won. 3 aerials, 1 won. 0 tackles made, 0 interceptions. 5 crosses, 1 successful. 24 passes, 12 successful. I dont like to rely on stats but he was clearly visibly struggling to me as well as how the numbers show. I dont know what you were watching tbh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Johnmfc81 902 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 We look a lot more balanced this season than last. Everyone now look like they know what is expected of them. Spence is still so frustrating though. Great win against a good Bristol team who we made look ordinary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Donnyboro 694 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thought we was excellent as team defensively. If only they’d have let him bring 1/2 options we’d be bang in the play off mix this season. Cracking performance 🍺 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 We are awesome defensively now don't think they had a shot all game and they are the form side in the division Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyL 2,565 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Excellent performance. Need more out of the wing backs but the core of the team - the spine that Warnock was so clear about improving- looks very good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Great performance from everyone tonight. Starting to believe Warnock can pull off a miracle 👀 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think today's game was better than the Reading game offensively, but partly because Bristol were very poor and partly due to Roberts starting. He genuinely looks a cut above, but is that due to us literally having so few other players similar, probably. Defensively the same as the Reading game, solid and limited the opposition severely. Still think we are a bit prone to lapses every now and then, and I still think our wing-backs (Johnson and Spence) defensively need work. If we play most our away games with the same set-up, it's not pretty but it is effective. Away from home I'd accept playing like this, with a tiny bit more risk for example we could have made changes a bit sooner today to effect the game earlier. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Starting to believe Warnock can pull off a miracle 👀 It doesn't need a miracle. This division isn't full of quality teams and nobody is looking all that good so far. Reading scraped past Wycombe tonight and Bristol City don't look anything like a promotion type of side. That's why I don't get people being happy with mid-table and all of that stuff. A top 6 place is there for the taking, for us and about 12 other teams. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Delighted with the result and performance. Warnock has us playing better than the sum of our parts. Thank you Bristol for demonstrating just why you shouldn’t play fannying about football in this league. UTB 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tonight's performance was carbon copy of Saturday against Reading and just highlights how tight the league is going to be. Other than Norwich, I can't see any other outstanding team who we should fear. It's just a shame that we can't be little bit more offensive because the league is going to be so wide open. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
