Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 A mate at work asked me who I believed was the single playing insperation behind the teams great run. To be honest I couldn't single out a single player and say if we lost him we would suffer in previous seasons I would have said Murray (now I've not heard him mentioned for a while!!!!). Which shows the strength of the squad. Views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Only one player. Steve Phillips. I just hope to god he doesnt get injured. But apart from that your right, we are a lot stronger now then in previous seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 thats the good thing about this run, it has been a combination of a number of different players, not just one player. Plymouth have a good first 11 but have no strength in depth and are getting found out now the injuries are happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Recently for me, the one player standing out is Tommy who has played a major part both defensively and going forward and is in great form. Peacock deserves a mention too. He is hitting shots from anywhere (and unlike in previous seasons when he seemed to want to walk the ball in the net) is forcing saves from some ridiculous angles. Must really inspire confidence in those around him. Presumably I am listed on this forum as a Phillips knocker as I dared to criticise him previously, so I will say he has done the necessary when needed and his shot-stopping is of the highest order (I reserve the right to maintain my belief that crosses in to the box and kicking under pressure are a weakness). Saying that, credit needs to go to the entire team; we can now defend from the front and the work-rate right throughout the team is quite stunning at times. To narrow it down to one, based on the last few weeks which have turned our season around, it has to be Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I think our midfield is to thank for our run, and Tommy has been the engine for it. The mans come back from the whole Wycombe thing to show why he's such an acclaimed player. Goodfellow has also been a breath of fresh air since starting and Aaron Brown has looked a threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Matty Hill, crucial stops, and a couple of timely goals...quality, and Lee Miller, Mr unsung.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderEagle Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I think that chap who wears the no. 31 shirt should take a lot of the credit - what was his name again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The great thing about Bristol City this season is that they are a "team". there is no single player who gets all the headlines (assuming there are any to start with) or who necessarily stands out ahead of all the others. Strength in depth and team spirit seem to be the key words to describe why we are doing so well. Ok and a bit of luck too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gater2 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 It's not a single player who's been behind our run, and that's a great sign. Our run last season was mainly down to Scotty playing out of his skin and as much as we didn't like to admit it then, it's the truth. This run we've had about 6/7 different scorers, none of which has got the majority of goals (anyone got any stats?). It's a complete team effort this time round and one which DW should take most credit for if anyone should be singled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
