The Bristol City v Middlesbrough Match Day Thread 20


Recommended Posts

Well done City. Hull win and now Boro, yes yes yes. We are strong at the moment, we have a game plan and we are Bristol City FC. Think the players look and act strong. Nice that our midfielders score. Next game important as usual. When we were in leauge one we beat them away for the first time since 1957, 2-1. The game was on sky that time, same trick again please. We are not afraid of any team. One game at the time, so far so good. Always believe, COYR!!!

Very well done lads. 

Looked very dangerous on the attack and liked the way we were winning the ball back so fast when we lost it - good, pressing game. 

Boro looked dangerous at times and they've got some big physical players too, but we soaked up the pressure well and counter attacked brilliantly.

Only letdown was that we got scrappy after the second goal - and even more so after they scored. 

Thought the defence and Fielding had a strong game (especially how attacking our CBs were!), and altho Magnússon didn't cope with the pressure down the left so well once he didn't have Bryan helping to cover he still had a decent one overall.

Thought he was very unlucky on the own goal. 

Up front awesome as usual altho a bit unlucky/not clinical enough in the first half. Reid looked dangerous and confident whenever he had the ball, and Paterson and Brownhill had great games.

Smith (and to a lesser extent Pack) gave us that strong defensive cover and looked good attacking too.

Bryan great as normal, their player was really trying to get a rise out of him after the yellow and really should have had a yellow himself for the confrontation. Good on Bryan for keeping it together. 

Overall a good night - just wish we'd not get rattled so easily after a team score and get some momentum against us, and maybe kept our edge a bit more when we go 2 up...

Woo we're third! :chant6ez:

Another great performance against an ex prem team with parachute paymrnts,  I thought everyone did their job well tonight (apart from Mags own goal of course) according to Elliot on Sky he was nervous.  Still another great win and up to third,  bring on Sheffield United (I'm still worried about them)  although if we play like tonight we will win.  Well done all and COYR's

Phew. Great great win.

Played some of our best football I thought of the season today. Much more sweaty than it should have been after the OG, but across the match we deserved that win. Third!

Makes Friday's game at 4th placed Sheff U even more important.

We were superb at times tonight and only a ridiculous own goal by Magnússon, made it a little bit tricky in the final 15 minutes. 

Middlesborough deserved sweet **** all out of this game.

The referee was lenient at times especially towards Traore.

Fielding 7 did what he had to do as usual.

Wright 7 a few mistakes, but generally ok, but what a cross for our first goal.

Flint 8 superb once more his part for the 2nd goal was incredible.

Baker 7 confident throughout.

Magnússon 6 up until the own goal was playing OK, but what was he thinking?.

Patterson 6 really took his goal well but not quite up to speed yet.

Brownhill 7 played well throughout.

Smith 9 MOM again, people who believe he is a weak link know nothing about football.

Pack 8 solid and disciplined throughout.

Bryan 7 took his goal oh so well, but i’m not sure he is fully fit.

Reid 7 his first touch tonight was superb at times and a constant thorn in their side.

Djuric 8 I thought he was great tonight for his 15 minutes of fame, won most things in the air, held it up well and actually looked good with the ball at feet.

Elliason & Leko not on long enough.

LJ 9 Tactics spot on, subs were about right maybe Eliasson could have been brought on earlier Patterson was tiring.

I  thought it was great the complimentary things that the commentator and pundits said about us tonight, we should fear nobody in this league.
