Isn't he half Spanish?

The alliance is back. The battle of the non scoring strikers.

I think we may have cracked it

Now show the AI version!

Ashton Gate pre renovation was great, the low roof in the away end made it one of the best atmospheres in England.

Always see this said on here (not saying you're wrong) but so often they just go for free anyway. Whatever they're doing is not working. Winks should never play another minute for Leicester. Another piss take of the fans if he does.

I'm surprised how many thought that second half wasn't bad. I'd assume there's some recency bias because of the Sheffield United game which was bizarrely near identical with roles reversed. You don't need to completely surrender all initiative at 3-0 up and not when you've been all over them as well. We have better players than Derby. I thought we risked a very unlikely draw when it should never have been on the cards. Biggest fault was the total lack of attacking threat. This isn't me trying to witch hunt Cifuentes. I'm not expecting some whizz tactician. He did more good than bad today.

If we're seriously talking about good chances created then I'd probably avoid a look at the stats and I thought we deserved to win today. The second half was not good, we played an unnecessarily risky game against a crap side.

With how much I hate this squad a Puel equivalent would be my favourite manager in a long time. Today is genuinely the first time all season I thought Cifuentes has something to offer. He isn't perfect but I could actually get behind some of that today.

No come on, we were not good in that second half, we made that look far harder than it was.

This is more like it Leicester.

Second half was crap but I think if what had come before hadn't happened I'd be quite encouraged. Seeing more of the players I wanted to see in the team, in the team. More of the players I wanted out of the team, out of the team. First half was excellent. I'm never being swung by one game but better signs today. I'd be well behind him if he'd taken todays stance in August.

Just mental that he didn't have him in from the start.

Yeah exactly. It was never personal with Cifuentes. What he's done today, bar the second half which I can sort of overlook in the midst of the rest, is a good sign. I'd be OK with him staying if he kept that up. It was never that complicated.

One guarantee in life it seems is we'll beat Derby. Doesn't matter how good they are, how bad we are, we just win against them. It's probably the root of why they just don't bother me much in rivalry terms. I just find them funny if anything. First half was excellent - best half of the season. Even the biggest moaner (I'm up there) could have no complaints. Second half just felt like self enforced hard work though. They were so bad and we gave them a chance that they should never have had. A win and a couple of the twat squad bombed out though is a start.

In fairness to him though, and it's taken him way too long to do this, he's gradually bombing out the twats.

He'd be extremely lucky to get Fulham.

No. I did wonder at half time if the penny had dropped but the second half was another red flag and tells me in the long run it won't work.

He was really good. Keep that twat Winks away.

I did but despise sort of works in a way.

Just turned the TV off.

Despise the obvious stupid overpayment Skipp does feel like one of the less hateful ones. He's played well here again.

Think we'll get over the line but we've made unnecessarily hard work of this.

This is ridiculous from us. We create so many of our own problems.

here we go.
