Bristol City V Swansea City.

Sounds like a fitness and perhaps confidence gap in the second half. A win, three points for that. First of many. No points for style in this sport so a week or so from now we won’t care. Onward and upward. Delighted that Piroe continues to prove his value.

It’s concerning that COVID is hitting some of the players. What’s not being report is how widely the spread has been in the squad. Perhaps this is governing some of Martin’s team selections - he’s playing and improvising with what he’s got.

Brandon Cooper is seizing the opportunity as a result of Bennet and Naughton having COVID. Excellent for him. Good to know that we have yet another CB blossoming.

Manning is also fast becoming a Martin favorite. Waxing poetic about his flexibility, looks like Manning will feature for Martin a lot this season. It makes you wonder why Manning was so under utilized by Andy Pandy.

Yes, he's now first name up front. It's up to Cullen, Lowe, Whittaker and whomever to prove they can start with him.

As you see the two best Bristol chances were a gift from Benda.

 

[Jackflash]

As I've said previously, Benda's clearances frighten me.
Having said that , once again the most biased highlights believable, think we were lucky not to lose 9-1

As I've said previously, Benda's clearances frighten me.

It's his sloppy passes that frighten me.
Other than that he's been fantastic.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Rough with the smooth. Benda has been a breath of fresh. The more he plays the more relaxed he is going to be and the more comfortable the defenders and Grimes are going to be making themselves available and receiving the ball.

He’s an adrenaline junkie. Unfortunately he gets his kicks by trying to nutmeg their #9. I’ve started taking a spare pair of underpants with me to the stadium formerly known as Liberty.

Good.

Not good.

 

[CroJack]

Had Woodman been in goal instead of Benda we would have conceded 15 goals.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Martin could not implement his system with Woody as the backstop. It all flows from that position. We better get promotion this season or Benda will be gone, he’s that solid and with a season of solid work under him to demonstrate his exceptional abilities that some big club will offer silly money for him.
