I think set-pieces could be the difference today. I'd expect Wigan to try to keep it tight and counter attack. The defence might be hard to break down (hope not). So if O'Dowda, Tomlin and Kodjia can win some free-kicks in dangerous areas we need to punish them either direct from Tomlin or pinging it onto Flints head.
'Okay at best'? We shaded it against a top side and went in 2-1. Some of our attacking play was great. I think the bad 2nd half has skewed your memory!
We saw every side of City tonight: disciplined, good shape, bouncebackability, flair, finishing, but also we saw the nerves, ill-discipline, basic errors, bad decision-making etc...
I think this will give Rovers the chance to compete with us. A north Bristol stadium with good facilities could sustain them long term. Hopefully it will drive Lansdown on to strengthen.
I'm told it was a full-blooded elbow.
That's the kind of mistake that we haven't made this season, hence the uneaten run. Lose your discipline and you likely lose a match.
I'd love to have him back but...
on the issue of his distribution, lets be realistic: he played 1 type of ball out of defence all game, the 7 iron loft up to the winger/striker. Never did he pass it. Although, playing for a better team, I'm sure he could.
Yet again you've sinfully broken the bumping-your-own-threads-up-the-list-rule, and here I am justifying it by replying! I'll never learn. Lansdown's web-apes will not be happy. In fact, they'll be going bananas.
You're breaking the holy forum laws as decreed by Steve Lansdown and his trained internet chimps. There, i've ruined your thread with surreal nonsense.
How about his four starts? And his reserve games. And the dozen or so sub appearances. And his inability to get into the Carlisle team. And what is his best position, he's played up front for nearly all his clubs (At Sunderland last year he just didn't play). Not our worst player, but a pointless signing in retrospect.
