Bristol v BFC

It is not our barnstorming last Championship side true but I will gladly take 1-0 wins all day long for present. We are edging towards the January window and hopefully the solution to our problems in attack. Our defence is as mean as they come in this division. Should we combine that with goals we will be a potent force.

I thought Hannibal had some good moments. He has zip, can beat a man, can carry the ball forward with pace. Looks very promising to me.
Has a lot more to offer than the regular mid field plodders who abound in this league. Jayrod is obviously the best link up man we have. I would like to see Koleosho get closer to him when he is possibly going to receive a ball.

If he hadn't have picked up bad injury earlier in his career he would have most certainly played for one of the top 6 Premier league clubs, and more than likely England

He did get one England cap before he got a serious knee injury.

had a decent game.Koleosho is criticised but my goodness he puts in a lot of effort and puts himself about.All in all I thought we did well apart
from the last 15 minutes when we couldn't get out of our own half,

More or less the report I would write barrie, but I watched it on the TV. Did you enjoy the trip?

Hannabel needs to stop fouling and giving the ball away, as does Koleosho, but that is what you get with a young side who lack experience

We are doing fine at the moment with another clean sheet and starting to create more chances which was encouraging today. If we can add a little more experience to our midfield in the January window and keep hold of Brownhill, we won't be far off come May.

Army said we have no identy, well I disagree. Our identy is that we are hard to beat and don't give away silly goals as the stats prove.

I agree ballcock we are hard to beat - my identity quip though was regarding how we play - pace in behind in channels ( Nathan Tella ) up to a big man and players playing off him ( Chris wood ) , that?s what my identity question was about really

I set off early but got into the ground absolutely soaked 2 mins after the game started.One available front row seat right behind Trafford so endured the wind and some rain.Last 3 miles to the Prince of Wales Bridge coming back took one and half hours (Road works and why I was late arriving).Apart from that YES,it was a great dayXD

It was a horrible day to travel my mate, but well done for supporting the lads in person.

We had tickets but heeded the travel warning and stayed home. My lad's mates took the tickets off our hands and said the journey there and back was horrendous. :blue:

I was very surprised about the number of supporters we had there.

Surely you mean claret bc. A bit of a bugger Leeds getting that last minute winner after thinking the Swans had just knicked a draw.
