Whilst there has been a lot of negatives on here after yesterday some of it justifiable there are a number of positives to take from yesterday.
overall the defence played well and both Binks and Lati played well together.
lati for me was mom and made a number of very good interceptions and headers. Binks also played well and got an assist for the goal.
mve showed yet again hes a fantastic player and I just hope we can keep him for another season or two. Both him and Saka were pretty quiet yesterday by their standards particularly Saka but mve defended really well.
for all their possession yesterday paticulary in the first half we predominately restricted them to long range shots which were dealt with by Dovin and it was only a worldy strike which may have not been given on a different day with a decent ref that beat him.
Bristol are a good side this season especially with Twine in midfield and from those that were there or saw the game its clear that our midfield just got nullified by Bristol cutting off the service to Simms and Wright. Bristol clearly had a plan to press us and identified that our main threat going forward is through mve and Saka. Every time the ball went out to our right hand side Sake had two players on him and they gave us no time on the ball.
We are clearly missing Sheaf but Eccles and Torp just isnt working and we need to either find a Hamer style midfield player to carry us forward or we find a way using what we have all ready in Palmer and Co.
