Thought we looked a mature side today.

I'm not sure where Baka fits in, and you must say after that cameo that Kastaneer would be hot on the heels of Hiwula, who I thought was pretty poor.

Defensively we looked good apart from the set pieces, full backs phenomenal. Kelly again is just a machine.

Throughly chuffed!

 

[Liquid Gold]

New players are settling well.

 

[stupot07]

Anyone else fancy us against Pompey on current form?

If we play like we did today, definitely.

What about rcc like 4 years ago did we not go 900 mins without conceding a goal?

Guessing means at the start of the season?

 

[cc84cov]

Baka the poor man’s Heskey

 

[hamil99]

Awesome result. If we can sort out our defence at set pieces I believe we can make the playoffs, possibly autos.

Edit. Side note, isn't it great that they are all our own players and not loans. It really is OUR team.

Dabo and Mason were superb today. Really superb. Jobello was excellent first half but we dropped off in the 2nd and he didn’t get as much of the ball. Solid performance overall.

 

[Johnnythespider]

The two full backs could win a lot of mom,s this season. Good team performance, even players who might be benched are contributing. I'm enjoying it so far, came via Adderley park to the roost and it ain't too bad.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Great result and that second goal calmed us down at the end and we seemed the more likely to score at the end.

Godden also looks like that 'proper' forward we've been missing

James Adcock has said Kastaneer's goal shouldn't count because his paper work for the sub was filled in incorrectly. Unfortunately means Coventry played an illegible player, so the result is annulled, Bristol are awarded the three points and we're docked three for it.*


*this is a joke

Figured that.

 

[Evo1883]

Thought we looked excellent in large spells today.. Dabo looks an absolute gem, godden worked tirelessly, Mason looks a different player, Kelly is just outstanding full stop... Very positive signs

Have you been on the mushrooms? Not normally one to give positive reviews.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Good win that, need to keep this going

 

[Evo1883]

Last season we reached 8 points after 7 games, we are on 7 points already..its All very positive

It was obviously a joke, he’d probably have awarded them to Bolton.

Despite sitting back on 1-0 again ?

Easily. Until next weeks draw and we will be fighting relegation

All’s well that ends well

I thought this but can't argue with Jeff Stelling

 

[clint van damme]

Great performance , haven't read the thread so I'm sure there's some moaning on it but I thought we played really well.

 

[harvey098]

It’s quite obviously from the opening game / start of the season.

We played really well today. Some lovely insightful passing moves. Feels like a team which is greater than the sum of its parts. Well done Robins. PUSB.

 

[ccfcway]

Thought we played we today. Loved the fact that dabo played well.

Atmosphere felt a little different today, not quite akin to an away game,,maybe that was just me.,

Atmosphere was poor compared to Southend

We didn't sit back. We were professional. We let them have their 15 min spell at the start of the second half, and then went back to playing. They had no real chances. It was game management done well and was good to see

 

[Philosoraptor]

Figures are provisional.

 

[Maverick]

Fantastic result, kastaneer to start against Portsmouth please.

Nowhere near fit enough

Agreed. Was commenting on a post.

No, but I was drinking Vietnamese Jager Bombs last night and it kept me flying all day and night!

Honestly thought we looked solid today.

Why are you getting so upset about me stating something factual? It’s not even a direct criticism as it’ll work for us more often than not with our defence, I’d just prefer us to try and take it to teams a bit more often. Great defensive performances so far but only 3 goals in 3 games.

Upset ?. You said quel surprise we were sitting back and I don’t think we were and we also scored a second.
