CiderHeadDan Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Naismith was absolutely excellent tonight. As close to a 10/10 as you’ll see at this level. Bentley done everything we needed from him, great save at the end. Thought all of the defence were superb. Only major thing I thought the ref got wrong was a stonewall pen for us, but agree with the red situation. Thought masengo was poor in possession but immense second half. Scott I thought was pretty poor but also a lovely weighted ball for the first goal. subs were spot on tonight and everyone left everything on the pitch. Not far off being a very good team. Hoping this sparks a good run. Think Nige has brought in players well so far and can see the value the players he has brought in. COYR, well done to everyone involved tonight, onwards and upwards!!

cityexile Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Thought up to the sending off, it looked much more likely for us to get a third rather than they got one back. Played some very decent stuff. A win means we can breath a little. Well deserved, thought it was a penalty and a sending off for what it is worth. NP does seem to have that knack of whenever we really start to need a win we get one. Long long way to go, but that helps the mood a lot.

Mihai Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 First game in ages when both halfs were good. I can't find a man of the match because the team worked well like the all 11 players were just ONE. I kinda liked the start of the second half, the passing and the confidence of build up play. You could see Dasilva can dribble if the game is positive and the players are relaxed. You could see Massengo looking very nice in my opinion because the pressure was off. It is all about the mental state of the players. A lot of the players in this team can improve ( young lads ) but they can play better also with their curent level. Nigel has to find some way to keep the motivated, calm and to have faith in their forces as individuals, and from there as a Complete Team. Vyner i can't say that I liked him. The team had a lot of nice pressing and he had an easier game but I still miss Kalas to replace him. I don't see Vyner as a starting player.

Dan Robin Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 First league win, in difficult conditions: good job, Robins! Hopefully we'll build on this performance.

Numero Uno Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Really enjoyed that. We played some lovely football at times and defended the last 20 comfortably in the circumstances.

TomThumb84 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) We were good tonight. Loved the pace and guile of TC and Nahki, and Naismith, Atkinson and Vyner were a proper unit. 8/10’s all over the pitch. The sending off was an orange card in my view and could have gone either way, but with predictable refs in this league he was always going to walk him. Shame as theres a lot to like about Sykes. Proper win that. Looked like they were together and desperate for it. Oh and a moment I particularly loved was Scotty ditching someone with a lovely sliding tackle, megging the next clown and then narrowly getting his pass wrong. I think he forgot Martin had replaced Conway and was never getting there! You Redssssssss. Edited August 16, 2022 by TomThumb84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan and Cemetery Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Not often you see any team when every player plays well, great to see. Looked really dangerous going forward and think the two changes from the weekend were key in supporting that - aka more pace/energy. Both Conway and Wells make great runs and their runs are a lot more complementary than most other combinations we’ve had over the years. General togetherness brilliant across the team. Has Zak turned a corner with Naismith barking at him (and everyone else) constantly? Has looked solid for a few games now. 8/10 minimums I reckon for the starting XI, could move Sykes down for being sent off, but played really well and not sure would have been sent off it wasn’t for the Freeman instigated brouhaha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthS22 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 What a performance tonight. That’s the Bristol City we can be. Massengo, Scott, Sykes And Dasilva dictating play through the midfield, forward line with pace, mobility, movement and great combinations, and solid at the back led by an outstanding Naismith and ably supported by Atkinson and Vyner who were both excellent. Shame about the sending off which looked a bit harsh to me, but stayed solid after that which was nearly as pleasing as our dominance in the first half. Don’t want to get too excited, but hopefully that can spur us on for another performance at the weekend and beyond. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ref got all the decision correct. Sykes was just about a red, Freeman was a yellow and I don't think Atkinson was a penalty although I didn't really see a great angle of it. I actually thought the ref gave us many 50/50 decisions where our players just fell over with minimal contact if any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
