Bristol City - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[george_kaplan]

Apparently Liam Manning has said we are the best team they have played since he has been there.
Should have put the game to bed earlier but didn’t….ohhh well

Good performance that. More goals ideally but 3 points is all that matters now. Keep winning and see where we end up.
Our results against Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich are won 3 lost 1 I think so we do beat good sides.
Anyway I'm happy but worry if we lose Rodon in particular.

That can't be right Sniffer. We don't beat anyone decent under Farke it seems....

Watched some of the highlights back.

We played some great stuff last night, there was also a lot of control. Bambi played pretty well but most of the chances fell elsewhere.

Rutter and Summerville must feel almost unplayable at times to other teams.

I thought we had a lot more consistent control of the game (Bristol didn’t really have big periods of possession).

Three things we could do better.

Actually finish chances and put teams away.

In the last 10 minutes when we are leading we seem to play possession football around our own area which against teams that can press seems to be asking for trouble. Keeping the ball as far away from our goal seems a better plan?

The cracked record point - making subs earlier - Bambi looked knackered after 60 to 65 minutes for example.

For all that the positives massively outweigh the grumbles for me and Farke is the best manager we’ve had since the messiah. Now if only he could make those su…..

Couldn't agree more. Putting chances away has been bugging us for ages now...but other than the players taking responsibility, not sure it will change much sadly. Some are even blaming Farke for us not putting teams to the sword because of the players poor conversion rate. 🤔 And if there is one thing that disappoints more than no subs like in last night's game, is when were are trailling and he doesn't make any! 😮

Watching everton. Harrison looks good!

Maybe we can sell him and sinisterra as get real money to put toward Rodon. We could even throw in Roca, Llorente and Kristensen!

Rodon just seems so solid and Ampadu has been great. Firpo and grey have done well

[spaldy]

We have several stars on this team including Rutter, Summerville, Grey, Rodon and Grey. Farke or his staff is a big reason for that

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Yup but challenge will be how much of that translates to prem where time is more limited on the ball and pace is crucial. Any mistakes tend to get brutally punished against the top sides.

Rodon is fantastic but may not have the pace for the prem.

[Rev72]

Excellent performance but we are gonna need to keep on it , its all about grinding out wins now till we hit the 40 games mark , and then , ladies and gentlemen (and Belfast) , the fun can begin!!!!!
