The Official Bristol City v Bolton Wanderers Match Day Thread 10

[Up The City!]

Despite being 1 down Bolton are sitting g so deep in their own half. Damage limitation I think.

Not been great in truth, but good enough. Just sounded like we were starting to create chances in the last 15 or so.

Goal up, Bolton sounding toothless and down to ten. Get a second and it really should be three points. 

[Eastside Moonwalker]

Why was he sent off? Left to get a half time drinks

[BCFC Rich]

Kind of refereeing that would seriously piss me off if it didn't go in our favor. No consistency in his decision making on fouls, lets play go on at times gives the odd free kick and seemingly randomly choosing when it should be yellow.

Thank god for O'Dowda, actually trying to make something happen.

Pack having a shocker.  

Thank God for COD

I thought that Pack pretty much bossed it . A couple of moments when he was harried off the ball that's all .

[Gimme Shelton]

Sorry? Not in the slightest! 

[old_eastender]

A largely frustrating half. We carved out a couple of good positions early on but Pato very wasteful with poor crosses. After that a bit of a nothing game until Pato redeems himself by crossing for Fammy (who had not really been in the game) to slide in and bundle it home. That after the first bit of sustained pressure we had applied. Have to confess unsure why they picked up red card near the end of the half. Anyway, 1 up them down to 10, a great stage to go on and win it now, hopefully!

[City_USA]

Time to turn the screw and get our goal difference up

[megansdad]

Goal came from a couple of bits of quality from O'Dowda and Patto leaving Famara an easy slide in. He's looked lively and we have been solid at the back - sending off should create space to exploit and over the course of the half foul after foul built up. anyone else having issues with BCTV. Has been great but this morning patchy - which at 3am is not ideal...

Let me first say I always thought that tonight was always going to be about the result more than performance.

But that was poor.

Why is COD playing on the right?, he hasn’t beaten one opponent on the right all half, he goes over to the left immediately beats an opponent for the first time tonight and supplies a great cross for our goal.

Patterson has been poor again.

But our biggest problem is the slow delivery from midfield, it couldn’t get any slower.

And please keep Pack away from free kicks.

[Fordy62]

Pretty poorish half. I appreciate the irony, but I'm not so sure we're as sharp going forwards with Reid & Diedhou as we are with Reid and Woodrow. 

Joe Bryan has excellent feet again tonight. I'm hoping we'll continue in the second half the way we ended in the last 5 mins. Otherwise this will be tough.

Smith off at half time for Brownhill. I like Korey but he has made quite a few errors already

I agree with you major. But if I had to take one off I'd go with Pack as there is no telling what the ref might give him a 2nd yellow for. Maybe even be brave stick Leko on through the middle as there down to 10.

Smine.

Time to let Eliasson get a half in a league game. Perfect situation to show what he can do in the league.

This yellow means a chance for Hegeler.

[BanburyRed]

Half time and job half done.  Patience now to pick the right pass and kill the game off.

I think he is probably put on the right to start with as he gives movement up and down that side that we lack with Wright at RB. At least we changed things up and it showed signs of working.

17 pts +6 goal difference. Exactly the same as September 26th 2016. Progress because have only lost 1; then 3.

Remember their chairman wanted to pull up the ladder and make the Prem a closed shop?

Not really!!

[Malago]

Look rock solid at the back.  Lack zip going forward.  Diedhou beginning to get the hang of leading the line.  Nice layoff for Reid chance.  There should be plenty of space as the game progresses. Like to see Taylor and Leko for the last 20.

Well he doesn't look comfortable at all on the right, but the second time he turned up on the left he drew the foul leading to the red card because of his quick feet.

All I can say is that City had better deliver; setting the alarm for 0240 in the morning? I must be mad. I just felt goals and I do want goals by golly.
