Simply the best on the day,ran the show. However credit goes to the whole team excellent performance,we went for the kill.
Apart from O'Donnell (not because he had a bad game but because he had to do nothing) any of them could get MOTM but for me Lee Tomlin is the reason we're winning, he brings goals, assists, movement, strength and skill. Every single game he is our go to guy, everything goes through him and when we get smith back they'll form a deadly duo. So it has to be Tomlin for me, really took his goal well and it was by no means a easy goal, he had to win that long ball of which he was 2nd favourite, then had to get his control spot on and under the pressure of a defender closing in, keeper rushing out and what was most probably our biggest home game so far slotting it in the bottom corner, lovely goal.
Also it's worth noting Kodjia could be up for nomination, got a goal (possibly 2) and assist. Looked an absolute monster.
Yes I agree - I did think of including Kodjia, but because there are only 10 slots in the voting system I went for the starting 10 (as it's a football site you would think they would have at least 11, preferably 12 - I have asked but got nowhere)
The other player worth mentioning is Marlon Pack who for me has improved more than 50% (people like % ) since Cotts left.
Can't pick 1 because I can't think of 1 who had a poor game, it was a complete team performance against a very poor team. So far I have liked LJ's selections and substitutions and a special shout from me for Wagstaff. He's shown a great team attitude and his cameo yesterday was topped by a superb finish. Waggy has always had an eye for goal. I loved the way Matthews covered across the back line, however I need a few more games to judge him properly. I wouldn't swop Baker Flint and Goldbourne for any other in the Championship. Tomlin is just class as was Odemwingies finish. Things are on the up for me, no Fielding or Williams and the pony tail boys have competition. Currently I can't single one player out I can moan about. A first.
I only have the youtube clips to go on, but Joe Bryan was at the heart of most of the goals. Is he still playing in the middle with Korey injured? Bolton did look poor, the defending for goals 2,5 & 6 was awful and I would have been livid had that been City
Bit late but Bryan looked like he was last season, Kodjia played well but was still playing offside too much and Wagstaff is improving
