Matty Taylor: a Championship pest, a L1 first touch, a ginger beard and a Conference price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I’m too thin-skinned but it seems as though every time we win a game the opponents say “well if we can’t even beat Bristol City...”. Wouldn’t kill them to acknowledge that we played well.

That’s not my issue though @BS4 on Tour... it’s more that a newly promoted side can presume they have an automatic superiority even when the direct evidence says otherwise. Didnt see Blackburn giving Man City two hard games last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 We were playing well until the goal from a corner which seemed to totally drain our confidence. Then for 25 minutes we played like a non-league side. brownhill rescued us from a slump and it was all City after that. Weird. The best and worst of this side in one game.

One BCFC Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 I thought Blackburn were actually a decent little side and reminded me of City when we got promoted in 2015. They had a lot of chances first half, played well but were not ruthless and ended up being punished by a more experienced side at this level. 2nd half we were well worth the win they did not eamt to know once we went ahead.

Was slow and very unproductive .Thought Elliason achieved a lot more in the same position. Hopefully he can improve. He did some useful things with ball. Not everything is gonna end up with a cross or an assist for a goal. Good interchanges with Hunt. I certainly agree that Eliasson achieved loads more, just think Watkins made a contribution in his own way and not as poor as sone make out. Will watch the game back later and see if I change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st half defending had the look of the Boro game at times, so that's obviously something LJ was talking about when he talked about getting things better. Overall, pretty good, bearing in mind the ref was their best player at times. Some superb blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do laugh at post match interviews. Unless a goal was a worldy its always a "poor goal to concede from our point of view" and silly mistakes etc. Rarely crediting the opposition unlike SOD when every team was better than us.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 One thing that I noticed yesterday was when COD was brought on he and Eliasson shared the right flank for a lot of that time and Diedhiou drifted wide left, it totally confused Blackburn and we were able to open them up quite a lot, I assume that until he went off the tactic was to create space through the middle for Wiemann and later Paterson.

J D Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Good game that. Started off well but when they scored we seemed to go into panic and were lucky not to concede more than 1. Brownhill's goal and the half-time break seemed to steady the ship a bit and we played some lovely football. Good for Watkins to get a goal, hopefully that helps him get his form back on track. My MOTM would've been Eliasson, absolutely class in the second half, created 2 of our goals. Hunt not far behind as he had a very good game, hardly put a foot wrong, and Taylor certainly wasn't bad either. Diedhiou was a handful for Blackburn when he came on too, and O'Dowda looked superb. Think we're going to score a lot of goals this season, Diedhiou and Weimann (who didn't have his best game today but he didn't really need to) could well end up being the best strike partnership in this league, providing they both stay fit. Only negative was the poor spell we had after Blackburn scored and Pack's first-half performance. Shame about the international break really but us and Sheffield United will feel the same so I suppose it's not too big of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 More from the Blackburn forums: I know some people get upset when you praise the opposition but BCFC have battered better teams than ours at Ashton Gate over the last few years. They've always looked a bit fragile whenever I've seen them but when they build up a head of steam they can be very difficult to stop. They get a lot of men forward and they have quality players including the lesser-spotted 'pacey winger' of folklore. There's no real shame in losing down there. Bristol City are a club that have been rebuilding for a few years now - look at how the stadium has been transformed from what it was. They have been steadily rebuilding on the pitch and played some decent stuff in the second half. Why anyone should think that going to Bristol and winning would be a formality for a newly promoted club is beyond me. The second half yesterday was the first time that we have looked second best in any game thus far and to be fair the last two goals came when we were chasing the game and took risks with the number of attacking players we had on the pitch.
