That's where my Wife got me the original Blairs Death and the Blairs Mango Heat from. It's a really good shop and the bloke running it is very switched on. On my travels I've been lucky enough to visit here a few times. www.peppers.com
We have to take some small pluses from the game. We scored 2 goals and it sounds like we were at the races for a while compared to some more recent performances. Comments re Diedhious lack of control and first touch are nothing new though. The early season results have helped us to stay in the top half of the table, but that's six straight away defeats for us. A more realistic position given results for the last 2 months or so is probably somewhere around 14th.
It was not that bad tbh, their first goal was a bad mistake by Mawson, and for me, also from Bentley. As a keeper you can’t palm the ball out low in the middle of the box, it’s asking for trouble, either palm it up and give the defenders time to react, or, preferably, use your fists to gain the power to divert it out to the far side of the box. We have played much, much worse than that numerous times this season, and won, so I think DH and the team can take some positives. We had 7 shots! There have been runs of 3-4 games this season when we could aggregate that many!!
We played much better as a team, although we always do when against a team that allow us space , unusually I thought our main men made mistakes , Kalas, Mowson and Bentley were below their usual quality
I missed our second goal. I felt myself getting depressed, so for my mental health I switched over to ITVi and caught up with episode 5 of The Bay - I do like a good British crime drama.
The two can be linked. Second half if you do not press the ball what do you do? Generally drop and get compact. Brentford were allowed constant safe possession in the first third to mount attacks free from pressure. Bristol City will not go up or down. The time could be used to establish what will be important for the front foot football in its longer term. High tempo and energy you don't get from wheelie bins and this was not the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time that has been seen from a senior pro who should be displaying the qualities the Manager wants in his football.
