Great first half that was. Got stronger and stronger as the half went on. Everybody contributed something to the performance and they've nullified a very solid Bristol team. That's Shipley's forte, getting into goalscoring positions from midfield and that was a superbly placed finish.

The atmosphere here is so much more positive than the Ricoh.

Great time to score.

Decent half that. Dabo and Jobello looking dangerous. Defence looking OK, Kelly in the middle. Godden hungry and energetic.

60% possession and 6 shots to 2 (1 on target though), can’t complain.

Bristol probably should have scored with their chances.

If Clarke has squared it rather than being selfish would have been a tap in for JCH

I do think we need more in the middle. Westbrook has potential but shouldn’t be a starter every game.

It's been a decent performance, played some outstanding football at times. We need to go and get a second to kill this off.

Definitely the better side here. We need the next goal early in the second half to stamp our authority on it.
Mason has played well. Our forward players look pretty dangerous too.

Hopefully Allen and a loanee will remedy that.

I have already said we had decent chances to score? Was just adding a bit of impartiality too

Shipley does one thing right and scores but up to then he was in and out the game. He always has a goal in him it must be said. Westbrooke just not really at the races for me. Be nice when Allen is fit.
Jobello crosses consistently but has more to do. kasteneer would be a better option. Mason MOTM so far, excellent control and awareness.
Bristol offering absolutely nothing and packing the defence, which has now been breached. We need to keep the pressure on as they will come out looking for an equaliser now. I think Allen is the missing link and Godden not had much come his way but his movement and threat is excellent, hitting the post from a flash shot. We are far the most technical and better team. Can we stay on it another 45?

Dabo and Jobello look dangerous down that right hand side.

Mason solid too, it’s great having two full backs who can get forward so well.

Godden looks hungry and I think he will get goals. Westbrook doing okay but don’t think he will be a starter when our injuries are sorted. Just not at the level I don’t think, but I’m sure he will improve

Jobello has been very good this half. Actually, all 4 players in the wider positions have been good.

By four I guess you’re including Hiwula? I think he’s our weak link, but agree on the other three

We really are able to play total football from the back now. It's very nice to not be concerned about which of the back 5 are on the ball looking to pass!

Would be happy with any indifferent performance if we can find the back of the net and win.

We’re sitting too deep and leaving Godden very isolated.
