Bristol City Predicted(4-2-3-1) Bentley; Tanner, Kalas, Atkinson, Pring; Bakinson, Massengo; Scott, Weimann, O’Dowda; Martin LOOKING AT THIS LINE UP DOES NOTHING TO INSPIRE! but tbh difficult to see what could improve without a complete re think on strategy!
I suppose Scott could drop into middle 4 and WEIMANN = 4-4-2 but that would put SCOTT on wing! I would like to have seen Palmer in place of Scott ... more experience? in 10 mins and we will see
Today will show whether we have the ability to produce a better performance than against Brum. We could be on a hiding if they score early but let's hope for better.
first shot to them ... in a minute .... puts us on back foot straight away ............. good info recorded as a shot/ on / corner 1-1-1
As usual we are letting them dictate the play and press us deep in our half and that never ends well.
Penalty and a red card against Coventry so we are now against 10 men. Martin scores for City and we go in to the half time break ahead 1-0. Could it be???
I missed the first 30 mins, but saw the pen and red card, we should now have our tails up and go on to get 3 points.. should be interesting second have.. Nice to see Massengo & O’Dowda starting, both doing well from the minutes I’ve seen.
% possession @ 10/25/35/45/et 28-29-33-35-34 AT 35mins we were 1-1-0 v 7 -2 - 4 45 2 - 1 - 0 v 8 - 2 - 4 goal via penalty at 45+1 finished half at 3 - 2 - 0 - 34% v 8 - 2 - 4 - 66% SECOND HALF WE EXTRA MAN!!!!!!!! CF said have a very energetic team "full of beans?! " well for best part of 30+ mins done a lot of defending ..... Do they have the bottle to press with extra man and a goal up .... I would station CM +1 IN THEIR HALF or halfway line should keep 2 or 3 of them in own half so only 6 to worry about ...... should they come forward
Zak Vyner gives away a penalty and Coventry even the match at 1-1. Please tell me we're not going to give this one away.
