2021/22 Matchday No. 1 - Bristol City v. Blackpool


Recommended Posts

Played more football than the second half of last season put together, and deserve to be ahead. At the moment restricting Blackpool to bugger all.

Cannot fault Palmers commitment, but really not a fan of his sliding tackle which has come to be a trademark. Going to be a card every time he mistimed it.

Have to be happy with that 1st half of the 1st game of the season. Already seeing the positive changes big Nige as made to the midfield. Expect players to be a little rusty. We're not going to be the soft touch as we were last season. KP getting stuck in. Composure from King and James. Need that dynamic, exciting striker that scares defenses. If it needs cashing in on Kalas or Nagy, then so be it. Either way, good to be back.

COYR!

Good half with a general dominance. It did feel like we're lacking a goalscoring striker, but then a striker scored!

Palmer and Weimann have shown both the good and bad of their play.

Scott has had a very encouraging game so far.

Don't want to belittle the goal but the marking was Div 1 at best

Agreed, in that half we've been more energetic, managed better closing down and certainly won the midfield battle. Major concerns 1) need to be more clinical COD and AW both should have at least hit the target 2) concentration +++ danger of getting caught on the break or being undone by one long back. 

However, overall a much better team performance and so much more entertaining to watch.

Fair to say we’ll be a more solid team than last year, but the creativity issue remains. That said we’ve had 7 shots so maybe im being harsh….. 

The biggest cheer for me will be seeing Baker complete 90min 

Weimann should at least force a save with his chance, instead of his trademark lean back and blast over

COD's knockdown allowed the great saving tackle to come up, otherwise that was a goal

Andy Kings diving header was sent wide but arguably he should have scored

Atkinson fluffs a chance to square it to Martin for a tap-in

So that's 4 decent chances furnished before the goal, so not sure saying we have not been creative enough is fair...

All chances that you think that would be put away later in the season as opposed to the 1st half of the first game.

Encouraging

A Blackpool fan on their forum saying todays game is being played at twice the pace of league one ?..

We should be 2 or 3 up already and I'm hoping it's not to be a tale of missed chances - 

Our improved fitness already beginning to show so expect us to turn the screw last 20..
