The Official Bristol City v Wigan Athletic Match Day Thread


Recommended Posts

Playing the long ball to Tomlin for much of the half where he's had no intention of jumping to try and win it. Kodjia so isolated. Brownhill putting in a shift but some poor passes. Ball always out on the left but on the rare occasions on COD and Aylings side we are dangerous. Goal was a mistake turned counter. Flint beat for pace and good cutback and finish. It's the championship and it'll happen every time. 

Anyway. Don't mind Tomlin on the left but we need to stop lumping it up to him like he's Wilbraham. Bobby Reid I think should've started. Kodjia needs bodies near him. Why have we spent 7-8m quid on good footballers to play lump and chase? Get the ball on the ground to Tomlin, Kodjia and O'Dowda's feet. Wigan look comfortable if unspectacular. They could be the Preston of the season

Not sure sacrificing Tomlin as CAM for Brownhill who's never played at this level is the right move. Magnusson looks shocked at the tempo too. O'Dowda good though. 

Magnusson looks a bit shaky thus far but not in the defending 1 on 1 or on the ball. Off the ball defending and strength wise he looks like he needs a lot of work. That'll come though. Callum O'Dowda looks a steal even at his price. Not touched it much but every time he does we get in dangerous positions. Giving Burn the run around.

As some have said we can't, in this division, wait ten games in the hope of the team gelling.  They need to gel from the start.

A defeat today, at home against a promoted side, would be a very bad start given the games to come.  September could, if we can't win today, already see us drifting off the division's pace.
