Deserved the win imo, but 1-1 draw is a good result.. thought overall the lads played well.. gelling much better..
Good game, I enjoyed that. We looked much better balanced, Mehmeti did well second half, thought Yu was a different class. Have to find a way to play Fally. Over the 90 mins, we were the better team. Two critical clangers by the ref. Or else we’d have won, had enough chances to win though.
I know I bang on about Mehmeti but just before the end he had a good chance in the penalty area and his first two moves were good but then he finally disappeared where the sun don't shine and lost the ball and the chance for us to score. Perhaps I am a bit harsh but I think he needs to make quick passes rather than mess around with flicks etc that eventually lose the ball to the opposition. Mind you there were many more than Anis who were not up to par and I thought that Hirakawa looked a serious threat down the right flank and presumably he was subbed due to lack of match fitness. Mayulu only got 5 minutes today so how on earth you can evaluate him for barely working up a sweat? An away point is never bad but based on what I saw today we need to get way better if we want to challenge for the top six as promised by the big bosses.
Their goal was debatable to say the least but ffs Max you have to be stronger and your kicking today was poor. Mehmeti was a total passenger first half but far better 2nd half. Franz was back out today and nearly made it 2-0 to Swansea. Can't believe how toothless we are at set pieces without Dickie and it was just Knight's desire that got us our deserved goal. Anyway really pleased to get a point and tbf a definite improvement from Derby and Blackburn.
I’m I honestly think the top 10 is beyond us when you look at the contenders About half way would be ok Anything above would be a real bonus in this division And very happy with a point today that I didn’t expect us to get Also good to see that the ‘impartial BBC’ had our championship result after the bloody women’s super league results F***ing pathetic and shows where their priorities lie !
Needs to stick with that starting line up next week with the two home games. We looked more balanced and played some good football-give them a chance for the next two games. Was a good open game enjoyable to watch. My changes second half would have been Pring for Roberts. Fally on for Twine who was quiet today as a two with Armstrong. Bird for Williams. That would have been it.
Just seen the highlights. How their goal stood I will never know - their bloke was all over Max. From the Highlights I thought Mehmeti improved. Max pulled off a couple of good saves as did their keeper. A point away from home isn’t bad I suppose. Well done Liam and the lads. https://www.skysports.com/football/...nsea-1-1-bristol-city-championship-highlights
I must admit they did seem like we need to play ... it was pretty quik fire stuff from both teams! they did seem to have "more luck" in the middle third though a point cant be sneezed at .. Sheff wed did well though are we going to get a load of games now of teams finding a bit of form!
THIS TIME LAST SEASON PLAYED 7 PNE 19 /LEICS18 / IPS 18 / SUND/13 /NORW /13 HULL 12 /CITY 12 [ IN 6/7th ] ....PNE WAS 6 -1 -0 COV/PLYM/STOKE/QPR 7 / ROTH 4 / SWAN 3 / SHEF W 2 / MIDDS 2
We need to take maximum points from these next two home games to get some more points under our belt There can be no excuses for not beating Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday
I don’t think beating Cardiff is a ‘given’. They’re going to pick up points at some point and they’ve just changed their manager - plus it’s a local derby, England v Wales, fierce rivals etc - it’s not going to be easy. Their fans would even swallow relegation a bit easier if they beat us on the way down! We also have a horrible habit of ending teams’ dire runs of form
They haven't named a new manager yet have they? Typical they do ahead of our game and get the new manager bounce.....
It’s City ! Therefore I’ve learnt, especially over recent years, not to take anything for granted But with 1 point from their 7 games and a -15 goal difference I’m hopeful and I really hope we can hit them while they’re down, and especially before the dead cat bounce can come into effect and a new manager is appointed !
According to the Sky match commentator LM wanted to take Mehmeti on loan at Oxford. So, I'm hoping there must be a player in there somewhere. His 2nd half at Swansea was the best I've seen him play and long may it continue.
