Luke Ayling – 7 – Back to the Ayling we’ve come to expect, defended brilliantly and supported the attack well. A nice return to Bristol for him.
Matthew Pennington – 8 – Replacing Jansson is a big task and Pennington was up to the challenge. He dealt with everything that came his way and looked like he belongs in the side.
Liam Cooper – 7 – Made one mistake that could and maybe should have resulted in a goal but other than that he was extremely solid and by far the biggest leader on the pitch, constantly barking instructions out.
Gaetano Berardi – 6 – He was actually having a decent game up until he headbutted Matty Taylor and got sent off. That’s the Berardi we adore.
Into the midfield…
That’s better would have preferred Anita to Baradi …stupidity in the highest order,good anyway as he now let’s Anita in
The 433 system seems to be a good alternative.
Great game! Thomas did a wonderful job to train the players for 4:3:3 formation in a very short of time and increase our firepower!! We also had great defence 4 defenders a magnificent! We should keep this formation going into next games and we will be invincible!!!
I would change the team completely for the Leicester game and rest these players because sheff
utd is so much more important
I wouldn’t change a thing .
GREAT spirit and work rate .
