Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Great result - pleased we managed to hold out as we always have trouble with that. It sounded like Boro had a whole lot of possession without creating many clear cut chances, which I guess is an indicator of a resilient away performance. More points on the board Well done City. Suspect our start might have been a case of over exuberance in trying to get off to a flyer and needed to get back to what stood us such good stead last season and made us so difficult to beat.

Selred Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Can city fans in Middlesbrough please tell us about the game! All I'm learning on here is that someone who rang up radio bristol might have learning difficulties. Want to know how they played in detail. Bobby Reid? Burns when he came on? Is little up to it from this game? How was kodjia? Etc etc! Coyr Hamer - terrific saves, can't loose his place against Burnley. Little - not match fit. Fredericks looked defensively better when he came on. Will take time but would start Fredericks against Burnley. Ayling - actually thought one of his poorer games, was caught in possession a few times, however we all know on his game he's terrific. Flint - rock. Williams - ran his socks off, brilliant shift. Still needs a bit more support by Bryan now and again Bryan - put some great balls in the box, won nearly everything in the air. Just needs to support Williams more now and again. Pack - terrific game. Won everything in the air. Didn't constantly play Hollywood balls and linked very well with Smith Smith - quietly got on with his job, broke the play up well and moved the ball around well. Can't fault him for anything Reid - missed a sitter, apart from that he didn't look out of place in a championship team. Passed the ball well and I doubted he would make the impact if he started but I was so wrong. Wagstaff came on and ran and ran. Just what's needed after 80 odd minutes. Wilbraham - amazing what he can do for his age. The focus for our throwings and long balls. Touch let's him down more this season. Would of liked to seen replace by Agard but was out of subs. Kodjia - looked very good again. Got the ball and got passed him man constantly. Played a great ball into the box for Reids sitter. Unlucky to be taken off, 10 mins too early in my opinion. Burns made some good runs and I would like to see him more this season. Slotted into rwb at times when we were under the cosh, decent cameo. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Didn't Wilbs produce the assist for Joe's goal? Yes, he did. That old saying "you don't know what you got til it's gone" will apply to Wilbraham. He has been one of our best value signings of the last ten years, is a fantastic professional and a perfect team man. I doubt at 36 in Octber he'll manage a full season of starts but whilst we find our feet he is invaluable. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBrizzleRobin Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Another from their forum, nice to get some praise from other fans: "Bristol did a very professional job on us. Scored early and defended their lead heroically whilst still looking like they could add to it. They're a better side than many other champo teams despite just having been promoted. The goal they scored was beautiful (think our first against Millwall at home last season, very similar but not quite as flashy). In the second half they were excellent, sitting very deep, pressurising whoever was on the ball into going backwards, clearing the ball way down into our half and forcing us to start again and looking decent on the counter. They'll be more than alright this season." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Chuffed with the result did have a sneaky feeling we could grind a result a draw but 3 points is great and makes me believe we can kick on but we Stoll need to bring in more competition. It would be great if Reid has more game time and another academy product coming into the team. He may even keep Freeman out as Freeman wasn't on great form the games before. No one should be an automatic starter although I would expect for Freeman to come straight back in .maybe if we want a more attacking midfield we could swap Reid for pack or Reid in a 5 man midfield If we needed to rest wilbs or he got injured.

We probably won't be title challengers but from what I've seen and heard from opposition fans we could mix it with those in the top half.
