Brighton v Bristol City

[lawros left foot]

It would be an evening to remember forever, if (a big if) both teams could achieve their mutual goals for the season, before kick off.
A party to rival VJ night , the Millennium, 30th of July 1966, St Patricks day 2013, and, even my 50th birthday, all rolled into one.

Marvellous scenes!

I've said it before but if Brizzle City didn't have such a porous defence they'd be a top ten side for sure. Great to see them finally getting their act together. I've got a lot of time for Lee Johnson and it's nice to see that the club stuck with him despite that appalling run of games.

The 82'ers going down will please me.

Still awaiting the first Amex pitch invasion.....

It is smart and it's much better than what we had before quality wise, what we were worried about was whether we would lose our atmosphere but so far its been good in parts. The bands after the game are good with some very interesting songs haha

I think it's great although the Ayto stand now looks very dated and is cramped inside. Any plans to tickle that up?

I once stood on the old terrace that used to Ben at that end when you played and beat Newcastle in the early 90s (I was seeing family in Bristol and it was a good way to pass Sat afternoon)

The club would like to update the Ateyo but there are a bunch of houses behind and a few of the owners don't want to sell up which is fair enough imo. I think the clubs vision is to have a 30k ground being sold out every week in the prem every week but still a long way to go for that!

Please, please, please don't refer to any promotion party. Every time I hear anybody assuming we're up I wince.

Apparantly it's already scheduled for the Birmingham v Huddersfield game

How's Matty Taylor working out? Must have been a nice feeling nicking him off the Gas.

He struggles to get in the team above tammy but he's on 2 goals and 2 assists in not many minutes so far so not too badly.

On the topic of strikers hows Sam baldock doing with you, a fans favourite here

He's really kicked on goals-wise this year, comfortably his best season. Tireless runner and works so hard whilst showing a lot of intelligence. Important part of the squad.

A slow start, but now an integral part of the team. We play two up front and one of the two is always SB if he's fit.

He's added a few goals to the work rate which has helped him.

 

[BristolCity fan]

Good to hear, sounds just like the player we sold to you, hard working and could score a goal

He has added goals this season, but he suits playing as a second striker off a target man. Beyond his work rate, he is utterly key to how we play, as he is the one forward that can really stretch the opposition with his running behind. We've scored a fair few goals from counter-attacks this season, and Baldock's invariably involved in moving their defenders around opening up space. He doesn't have a huge number of touches on the ball, but that obscures his importance to how we play.

It took a while for us to appreciate him. Unfortunately he was bought at roughly the same time as a fair few duds and coincided with a period of being rubbish and so, certainly for me, he was tainted by association and although he worked very hard for the team he struggled to get goals. The last couple of seasons though, he's been fantastic and scored a fair few goal of the season contenders. Great attitude and he's thriving under Hughton's system. We've an embarrassment of riches in midfield providing the chances too.
