Match Day Bristol City vs Blackburn

[JJH]

Good chance to go into the international break with 3 wins on the bounce here. Hopefully Dack's still injured, they're much better with him in the side from what I've seen.

Maenpaa
Hunt Kalas Webster Kelly
O'Dowda Pack Brownhill Eliasson
Diedhiou Weimann

Harsh on Taylor but Diedhiou's the main man here, got to be starting for me.

2-0 (Diedhiou 26', Kalas 58')

Don't think Diedhiou will start personally, unless a plan is in place for him to come off around the 60 min mark. I think we'll stick with the XI who won at Swansea and Diedhiou will come off the bench for 30 mins or so, not sure how much competitive football he'll have played, I expect some behind closed door friendlies but thought he may have featured for U23's which I don't think he has been.

Also as you're predicting us to win I reckon we'll lose this...

 

[TTOCS]

Shades of SU last season in Blackburn me thinks.
A win for us would be fantastic to put us in the play offs during the break. 2-1. Unchanged except Diedhiou for Taylor.

 

[JonBCFC]

Got a feeling Diedhiou will start on the bench for this one, wouldn’t be against that as it would be a fantastic option to bring on.

 

[Abertawe]

good win for brizzle, thats what winning a cup final does for you.

 

[JJH]

Nice.

 

[.V.]

That was a really open game from the start. I thought we were very careless with the ball first half, and Blackburn should’ve got a 2nd when they were on top.

2nd half we were much better in possession and looked very comfortable. Despite them hitting the bar and having one off the line, I think 4-1 is still a fair result.

I thought Lloyd Kelly was very good today, bar a few dodgy passes in the 1st half. Eliasson is starting to come into his own; we could have a dangerous left hand side this season. Kalas looks a good signing, but not convinced by Webster or Hunt, although it is admittedly early in the season.

Fair play to Blackburn bringing over a thousand for a 1:30 kick off too.

 

[JJH]

Hunt looks class pretty much every time he plays, not sure why some are still sceptical. Proper modern full back.

 

[Ciderup]

I thought we were far too open in the first half and, at times, a tad sloppy. Marlon in particular had a bit of a mare in the first 45 but he recovered well in the 2nd.
Second half was very good and I thought we looked comfortable plus it's good to see Fammy back. Could have been 5 or 6 tbh but Blackburn probably should have had more than 1 in the first half.
How good was the clearance by Kalas late on by the way? I like the look of him.

Well done boys!!

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

In my opinion, 4-1 flattered us somewhat. Very sloppy first half and I thought Blackburn looked a really decent side. For some reason though, they decided to stop playing at half time. Four very well worked goals and I'm delighted for Fammy to get straight off the mark. So yeah, not as convincing as the scoreline would suggest but a real confidence booster for us ready for... Oh shit. Why do we always hit form just before the fukking international break.

 

[TTOCS]

Could have been 3-3 at half time (Not 0 3 Mowbray you plonker) but we totally dominated the second half.
Shame Eliasson couldn't get a goal to round off a great day.

 

[roversfan2001]

Could have done with getting dicked last weekend to show Mowbray that we needed more defenders. The good form was never going to last but I didn't expect us to lose like that, especially given that we should have been 2-0 up at half time. Oh well, 9 points from 6 games is a good return.

Thank fuck Dack should be back after the break because Palmer is awful, was at fault for the 2nd goal. Smallwood showing that he's not cut out for Championship football too.

 

[CT70]

Always disappointing to take a drubbing, the only positive I can take from it is that you've highlighted a few problems we need to work on.
Can see you hanging around the playoff scene all season, but will be a bit to far for us I think.
Well played.

 

[TTOCS]

Seen a lot of comments from Blackburn saying you should have been 2 or 3 nil up at half time.
Yeah, if you disregard our goal, our two clear chances before you scored and include both of your chances plus the fluke goal then maybe.

Mowbray's comment of should have been 3 up at half time... they had 2 shots on target for the whole game

Was never a free kick for your goal.

 

[Ciderup]

Was never a free kick for your goal.

It's one of 'those' RF2001. Yes, Taylor was waiting for contact which duly arrived and one you want if it's your team. A few years ago it most certainly wouldn't have been a foul but nowadays maybe it was.
I'll agree it was certainly a 'soft' one. The ref was crap all day to be fair.
