No , I still think he’s too lazy . Don’t chase back . Godden is our main target man who moves around and looks for the ball more than Walker .

Godden isn't fit m8.

I’m not on about him scoring goals I’m talking about him putting more effort into the other part of his game .

I hope you are not suggesting that we strikers on the metres they cover rather than goals scored

I've not seen us press like that before, I imagine that's how city will approach games now until the season end...
The press yesterday genuinely knackered Brentford, one of the best passing sides in the division, and best counter attacking side in the league, they struggled from start to finish to deal with us.
We pressed very very high Compared to normal and were relentless in our pursuit of the ball , Kelly sat in the hole and hamer helped ohare, Biamou and Walker, da Costa and Maccallum... It worked perfect, they couldn't play their game at all.

Testiment to the fitness levels too, remember Bristol City opening day, lads looked cheesed... Come a long way.

We have to surely play this way all season now, Barnsley show that it's effective and can make up somewhat for ability and force mistakes / turn overs of possession...

Would hopefully see us finish the season strong

...at the risk of repetition, combined with punting / heading it forward as often as possible, and Wilson's ability to kick it miles. Play in their half.

Reading the Brentford forum, they say they should have sucked us into the high press then knock it over our pressing players into the space to run on to. Seems like a good option to push the high press back.

We had 38% possession but it felt like we were always on the ball, weird but great to watch.

Defenders did alot less pass side to side in our own half and we tried to play the matcH in their half.

Effective, very effective

Agreed. We looked the better team over the 90 minutes despite not having a lot of the ball.

I do think Godden returning will help out too. I like Biamou, serves a function, but not really going to get us goals like Walker did.

What I suggested we do nearer the start of the season when we were constantly playing out from the back. Mix it up a bit so they don't know whether to press or not. Football equivalent of rope-a-dope. If you do it all the time you know you can apply the press without fear of having it lumped over it. Have Osti play between the strikers from goalkicks to flick on

What helped us adopt the high press so effectively was having a few more injured players back, which strengthened our bench so that making our full use of subs didn't weaken the team on the pitch as much as it did a few weeks back.
