That won't stop us giving them 45 mins to pin us back and fashion some chances

 

I'm glad you managed to put a negative slant on it. You must be fun to watch the game with !!

Very good performance, patterns of play look really good and really positive reaction since that first half vs Sheff United. 

since Winks and Faes were hauled off at half time we have scored 7 and conceded 1 in 180 minutes of football.

I think Marti has now seen the players he needs in the team, looking a lot better. Even Skipp is starting to play 

[Sly]

If we can keep chipping g away like this and we did on Saturday, I think we’ll all be happy.

 

Its not the best football we’ve ever watched, however we will climb the table and we in with a shout of getting promoted. 
 

Still a long, long way to go for redemption though for some of this lot. 
 

Skipp though looks like a different player! 

[Mark_w]

Coventry are nobodies, Derby are so far behind us, you do the math

[Pliskin]

Not a bad first half, we look so much better in CM with James in there. You start to see what Skipp brings, that energy and tenacity, and James the drive and creativity. The balance is much better, and we progress the ball forward much quicker too. Funny, how the quicker you get the ball forward to higher % chance of scoring you get……

 

Just need to keep it up.

Can we get a full 90 of half decent football? 

 

Bristol look shite but we have a knack of gifting teams goals. 

Plenty of time for us to do that. I just hope Marty dont encourage them to waste time, pass back and try to protect what we have. We will need a third and maybe a fourth before we can relax...

[WigstonWanderer]

As an aside, anyone know what’s happened to Monga and Soumare? Neither on the bench. Are they injured or out of favour?

I fell backwards over my seat when Bobby scored

Maybe something to do with he’s not playing with Winks and Soumare 

And Faes just behind

Injured I believe, certainly Monga anyway.

Thomas playing his usual shit game not got a clue who he is marking headless chicken springs to mind.

Not a bad first half well taken goal by Bobby from a bit of Fatawu magic, second half need the same positive play from the start get them give our positive goal difference.

 

Team needs to be tweaked a bit for the second half JJ looks Knackered maybe needs to rest him now for the weekend game swap for Page or Silko they’ll give us quality and hunger !

JJ will get dragged around the 70th minute

He's here, he's there, he's every fooking where 

Oli Skipp, Oli Skipp. 

 

He's certainly making me eat my words.

That actually  contradicts your earlier post about us being shit. Which side of the fence are you on?

 

What. 

 

How are the two things mutually exclusive? 

 

This is a terrible game of football between two very poor sides. It's been dull and the standard has been poor. 

 

I understand the inclination to want to be happy and to be positive but, I'm sorry, there isn't a lot about the club and the team to be that enthusiastic about at the moment. 

 

I'm not Cliff Ginetta. I'm not happy by default just because Leicester are playing. We should all, as a fanbase, demand better than the slop we've been handed out this year.

Hopefully Somuare is touring airports, touting himself to every other club in Europe! 

[CarolinaFox]

Think we can still improve with being faster on the counter. Need to start the second half high tempo and putting pressure on their goal. 

[EnderbyFox]

Hopefully see Page and Evans get plenty of minutes second half.

 

Team looks completely different without moping winks

I gather he was excellent in the (checks notes) last game.

Another smart finish from Bob and superb work from Fatawu who I was reading earlier is "garbage" and needs dropping. We're so back

The defensive 'work' by the 2 defenders was shocking. Fatawu could’ve walked past them. 
He’s doing well though. 

[Pliskin]

Bobby Reid is my hero.

I don’t disagree @Finnegan

 

However I also think despite us having the highest wage bill In the league, we don’t have that much more quality than other teams. 
 

We are basically an expensively assembled Championship standard squad!
