cityexile Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thought we would really struggle tonight, but thought we more than held our own and played some decent stuff. Link to comment

steviestevieneville Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good first half that. Good tempo as well, unlucky not to be one up Link to comment
Fordy62 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 That was alright you know. I like Bakinson going forwards but not so sure about his sloppiness in defence. I defy anyone to say they’re not impressed with Semenyo. Not excellent, but wholly acceptable. Link to comment

Long May it continue Link to comment
Lew-T Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Zak Vyner playing a blinder so far. Link to comment
Malago Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Not bad. Bit Jekyll and Hyde from Bakinson and Fammy frustrates as ever. But possibly best first half performance this season. Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 They have a good gk. Famara close. We are doing good in first half but have to be aware that the home team is good in counter attack. Link to comment
Robin101 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Possibly should be 1-0 up to be honest but decent game. Bournemouth do look like they could catch us on the break mind. Link to comment

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good performance 1st half and should be in front. Perhaps we're benefitting from (according to Gilmartin) Bournemouth going with Ryan instead of Dan Gosling in midfield. Link to comment
nickolas Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good half. Could easily be 3-0! Link to comment
And Its Smith Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Every player doing very well. Just need to score Link to comment
Bar BS3 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Really good half. Some excellent passing and forward movement. Also looking solid defensively. Unlucky not to have scored from 3 serious efforts. Seems to be a very high tempo from both teams, so hope we don't tire and slack off, because they've clearly for the quality to punish us if we do.

Ivorguy Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Excellent from City so far You wouldn’t know so many first choices missing. More importantly they are playing as a team and playing nice football. Deserve something from the game on that performance Link to comment
GlastonburyRed Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Fammy to score 2nd half, without a shadow of a doubt. Link to comment

collier Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Better side easily first half. Both strikers had good chances, Bakinson forcing a good save from their keeper. We played some good stuff around their box just need to take a chance because these are those type of games you lose 1-0 if you can't be clinical. Link to comment

So I wouldn't say really good. His link up play with Semenyo looks impressive though. Also unlucky with his effort on goal. Link to comment

When I’ve seen him for U23s and in his first , first team spell under LJ he was always trying to roll defenders and run with the ball, which is a strength but harder to do at first team level For me he’s now mixing his game up , sometimes rolling but also knocking a quick ball off on occasions and then moving Link to comment
Davefevs Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 1st half summary. Decent away half for City. Had the better (half) chances. Controlled possession in safe areas but susceptible to giving it away a few times in poor areas....Bakinson especially. Got to play the way he’s facing sometimes. Fam looks right up for it...looks such a better player when he wants to “fight”. Got to keep concentrating. We are a threat from set pieces...keep putting them in the box. O’Dowda beat and tidy, but does need to press a bit more aggressively. Semenyo had a real chance right at the start, Kalas a header off the line. The worry for me is they will have a spell at some point. Link to comment

He will misplace passes and get caught out of position when others give the ball away but he is so effective for us. Tonight more then ever Link to comment

Sturny Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Bristol City fans when Bakinson loses the ball 5 times in the first half but had a nice shot on target Link to comment
marcofisher Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 After seeing this first half, don’t see any reason why Bakinson can’t play the Box go Box role and we play him next to Brunt and Pato rather than O’Dowda. Would give him more licence to break the lines as he has already been doing and would tighten us up a bit. Link to comment
cidered abroad Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 A decent performance so far. The most danger from Bournemouth has come from our own mistakes in our own half - sometimes it's best to hit it long rather than try to play your way out of our half, especially away from home. Worth at least a point so far. Link to comment
