Putting the contentious decisions aside that was a hard earned and thoroughly deserved point. Select your top three, in order
Hughes, as good as Pandur was I thought Charlie boy was ****ing incredible today, a proper colossus at the back Pandur, never looked in danger, player of the season is a genuine possibility for the lad Macca, similar to Hughes, dealt with everything in the air well and had another good game at left back, with 11 on the pitch he was once again pushing high up, progressive with the ball too. Genuinely can't fault anyone, not even Pedro, that goal was absolutely top draw with kamara and Puerta's passing play wonderful too
Pandur. Some great saves & reassuring in his area Hughes. Won everything that was thrown into the area, totally solid McLaughlin Won lots of headers and tackles that were needed Big effort from midfield today as well. Brilliant goal from Pedro. Great opening 15 minutes, city dominated and deserved lead. Referee too quick with red card, put us under lots of pressure, and the penalty… no way, their player had no chance getting near the ball & see that block every game. Ref was poor, but all city players deserve praise for their effort to win a BIG point.
Pandur Hughes MacLoughlin. .. Great point against all the odds, and a wonderful goal worthy of taking all three points and if it wasn't for the referee it would have done. the ref was far, far too quick to get the red card out when he was so far from the incident and he was also too quick to point to the penalty spot for a routine push you see at every corner by every team. His decisions altered the course of the game twice. I would certainly appeal Pedro's red card. Without the referees invention Bristol City would never have scored and with eleven men on the pitch I'm sure we won and won with some ease. Leaves us short up front for Wednesday when we need to capitalise on a very good week. UTT. I was proud of every one of them today.
The Ref spoilt the game . The player who got a yellow card for the foul on Coyle , that challenge far far worse than any other foul today . 1. Pandur - deserved a clean sheet . Some great saves . 2. Hughes - our best defender today, tackled , blocked and was very solid 3. Pedro - A very well taken goal . It was never a red card . Hope we appeal. The whole team worked really hard for a point that should have been 3 . Well done boys Come on City
Pandur - if you're going to get anything with 10 men your keeper generally has to play a blinder. Hughes - Dealt with everything thrown at him Pedro - just for the goal, not for ****ing up his teammates with a moment of madness.
