  1. i believe they are singing about Taylor actually
  2. Barton not playing today, he's at the Newcastle vs Arsenal game. Also could the fans in the Ateyo move closer to the tunnel before kick off just so the players can here the fans singing and Burnley are welcomed into a very hostile environment?
  3. Hamer - terrific saves, can't loose his place against Burnley. Little - not match fit. Fredericks looked defensively better when he came on. Will take time but would start Fredericks against Burnley. Ayling - actually thought one of his poorer games, was caught in possession a few times, however we all know on his game he's terrific. Flint - rock. Williams - ran his socks off, brilliant shift. Still needs a bit more support by Bryan now and again Bryan - put some great balls in the box, won nearly everything in the air. Just needs to support Williams more now and again. Pack - terrific game. Won everything in the air. Didn't constantly play Hollywood balls and linked very well with Smith Smith - quietly got on with his job, broke the play up well and moved the ball around well. Can't fault him for anything Reid - missed a sitter, apart from that he didn't look out of place in a championship team. Passed the ball well and I doubted he would make the impact if he started but I was so wrong. Wagstaff came on and ran and ran. Just what's needed after 80 odd minutes. Wilbraham - amazing what he can do for his age. The focus for our throwings and long balls. Touch let's him down more this season. Would of liked to seen replace by Agard but was out of subs. Kodjia - looked very good again. Got the ball and got passed him man constantly. Played a great ball into the box for Reids sitter. Unlucky to be taken off, 10 mins too early in my opinion. Burns made some good runs and I would like to see him more this season. Slotted into rwb at times when we were under the cosh, decent cameo.
  4. Massive massive win. Have never felt so ill as today when watching our last 15 mins. Too many nerves. Massive shout out to Flint who won everything in the air, Hamer who made some terrific saves, Bryan who was up and down all game, Reid who slotted very well into the team and Kodjia who totally pulled them apart first half. Little didn't look match fit and we were lucky that we weren't punished for that starting choice. Also would love to see Agard upfront with Kodjia. Wilbs is a good servant but sometimes when we are on the counter attack offers us nothing. Having two pacey guys will frighten defences. Finally the fans were brilliant. Non stop singing. Great 3 points, great team performance and to be against my housemates team means it's been the perfect away day. Time for many a cider I think!
  5. I would say 80% of the time we were defending. One mistake and I feel they will score. Going forward we look very good, Kodjia is beating his man for pace every time and putting good balls into the box. Reid doesn't look out of place. Little however looks knackered, would change for Fredericks after 60 if winning, if loosing bring Burns on. Massive 45 mins now, also our fans are completely outsinging theirs. Voices are going now!
  6. Speaking to the locals in the pub last night. They are impressed we've sold over 300 tickets (although personally im not surprised). They are all very confident of a win but reckon we can get a mid table finish. My housemate is a Boro fan so today all friendships are on pause. Today is solely about bragging rights for the next 5 months. Looking forward to the game, just hope we can keep Albert, Kike and Stuani quiet. Fortunately it seems like Jonathan Woodgate may start though, I live in hope.
  7. Luke Freeman on Radio Bristol has cheered me up. Was being asked questions about the year he was born. "Seeing as I was 0 when this happened I'm impressed I've got 5 out of 10!". Stupid bloody game by RB.
  8. We were unfortunate against Brentford due to Freeman's sending off. We have been well on top this game, and 45 mins to go. It just needs to fall for us.
  9. Build our confidence up again on Tuesday against Luton and then come back stronger against Brentford. Always believe.
  10. Didn't see much contact there myself to be honest. Good run though by Burns. He's impressed today.
  11. Think loosing Bryan has really hindered us. His presence going forward and whipping balls in was giving Wedneday something to think about. Without him we've lost a key aspect to our attacking play.
  12. Was a foul but my god did the player make a meal of that. Thought Freeman should of had a free kick in the edge of their box before.
  13. I thought Williams was the best player on the pitch for us! Wallace is a very good player at this level and Williams has stopped him getting a lot of crosses in. Ayling has been caught out on or two times but overall looks not too bad. Think both Pack and Smith could do more, seem to be sitting back too much and just looking to spray balls to the wing backs.
  14. I disagree. Ayling and Williams are rather mobile, I'd rather no have El Abd against Wallace or the Portuguse bloke. Then on top of that their left back is rather pacey, so I'd rather not have an unfit Wagstaff against him. Burns has looked rather good positioning wise, and Fredericks has looked good in left wing back. I agree with Cotts on this one.
