Rudolf Hucker Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 ... from the lounge. A really good performance from the lads. Corey Smith was outstanding in every aspect of the game. Great to see JET back in the team - he can look so lazy at times then suddenly purr into action, burst past players and play a sublime pass. Ayling looked solid in defence and dangerous going forward. Flint was a rock. Burns played really well and scored with a super header; just a shame Baldock gave him one-on-one coaching because he should have scored a second. All round a very solid performance and so good to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 My reaction was a very frustrated "He's ******* Baldocked it!" When Wes missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin1988 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 First goal summed up JET for me. Frustrating to lose the ball, superb to win it back and an excellent cross. Burns doesn't look confident taking on a man down the inside but that'll come. Pretty decent performance all round, Cheltenham weren't bad at all either.

JamesBCFC Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thought everyone gave a pretty solid performance tonight, JET had a few frustrating moments but played well overall and 2 assist showed that, Wes looked pretty lively as well tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thought we were very, very professional and oozed class. The boys that came in certainly didn't weaken the side and Cotts got the formation perfect. Have to say that after 20 minutes I thought JET had done zilch but from that point on he was unplayable and he and smithy ran the show. Job done.

Frenchay Red Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 First visit to Whaddon Rd. Nice little ground. Sat in the Wyman Rd stand, prefer a half-way line view, though of course I was amongst the 'Nam supporters. Thought we looked at least a division above them in our movement and passing and with a bit more composure could of had one or two more. Their goal came from a mishit pass according to home supporter in the adjoining seat, though it was met by a good header. All the players played well, perhaps Cunningham had a bit of a quiet game though still did well, Ayling was one of our best, along with JET and Smith who took a little while to impose themselves on the game before starting to run things. The home supporters were muttering how strong we were on and off the ball and how we out-passed them and out-fought them. and I thought we totally out-played them apart from a brief period in the second half when they put us under a bit of pressure. Chap next to me made me smile when he said your fans are ok, never any trouble, unlike the Rovers fans who are a horrible unpleasant bunch!

TRL Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Got to say Ayling looked a real buccaneering centre back. His runs out of defence had Cheltenham back peddling all night, really does give midfield and strikers options when he rampages out from the back like that. Smith was brilliant again. What an inspired signing, how he ever dropped back down to this level god only knows, he is a Tommy D with pace and fitness. I hope we can hang onto the lad.

He does have Doc traits, but a bit more about his game. I loved Tommy Doherty when he played for us - one of me fav City players. Korey Smith, from the off, has been my best player for City this season. Unsung by many at the start (on otib), but I can see what he offers us. He now has shown how much more he can potentially offer. Reminds me of Mulumbu/Makelele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is a QPR fan but went to see Wycombe against Rovers. He said the Wycombe fans were quite refined but the Rovers' were really awful - he liked the analogy of the "16:53 Horse Punchers" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
