Back of the Dolman

If you turn your automatic updates off and back on then it should update

I think he’s isolated all the time and it’s having an adverse affect on him.

I like him

Good news, I wonder what Mannings preferred CB pairing will be ? I like Vyner, Dickie and Atkinson. Plus theres Naismith who I think makes us a better side with his passing. They can’t all play or maybe we’ll look at a back 3.

Showed why it’s preferable to have a right and left footed centre back pairing.

Was it just me or did he not seem as comfortable on the ball today as he has recently? Defensively pretty solid but I thought the pace and movement of the Sunderland front men today unsettled him.

Well I’ve got to say I actually quite enjoyed that. Sunderland were slicker and will feel aggrieved that they haven’t left with at least a point. But I enjoyed the fact that we stood firm and kept a clean sheet when we’ve all seen us concede under that sort of pressure previously. We’re a team in transition and I think I can see some change in our style but we have players who aren’t particularly comfortable in possession or in moving the ball quickly, so it’s not as fluid as it could be. 3 points and onto another tough game against Hull.

I should fit right in

Yep been reading for a while but finally got round to joining in.

New member posting for the first time, and no I’m not an employee of Bristol Sport. Looking forward to tomorrow with some pessimism but hopefully we can take the three points. Sunderland seem a young and quick side who we will need to press and not leave space in behind us. I think there will be a few goals but on current form I don’t think a point would be the worst result.
