Buckley 7 He is going to be a really good player for us, if he gets a run of
games and gets properly match fit other teams will worry about him
Potentially our best player. Looks Premiership class.

Under par performance, but I'll take these 1-0 away wins all the way to the Premier League. Good turnout numbers wise, must have been at least 1500, didn't like having that bloody drum next to us, rubbish, although it helped us react against their songs I guess. Bristol City were our match for much of the game but completely toothless in front of goal. What is all the fuss with Maynard about? The bloke is pony!
I guess I should explain why I marked painter down, it was due to their right wing beating him with almost every run, any danger to us (such as it was) came from that side.
Thought it was our worst performance so far this season, apart from the first half against Doncaster and we were perhaps a little lucky to get the three points, fans were fantastic, Bristol City's fans were poor. As for the players:
1. Ankergren 8 Did everything he needed to and the save right at the end was real
class
2. Calderon 7 Defended well, got forward now and again, solid game, at the end
of the game he applauded the fans and looked really happy
3. Painter 6 Did what he had to do, got forward a bit, but does look to lack a
little pace, but fairly solid game
4. Bridcutt 9 My MOTM again, was everywhere, broke the play up, always
available, a quality performance again
5. Dunk 8 Spot on again, Gus lock him in a long term contract now please
6. Greer 8 Quality quality quality
7. Harley 6 Looks a good player when on the ball, dont think he's yet adjusted to
the pace in the Championship, got caught several times on the ball,
appears to stroll around a bit
8. C-M-Smith 6 Thought he was struggling a bit, looked unhappy actually and
seemed to moan about the service which TBH wasnt good. I think
he's struggling with the way we play, its not direct enough for him
9. Barnes 6 Had a quiet one apart from scoring
10. Dicker 6 Average game
11. Noone 8 Thought he started OK was kicked around a bit early on. Thought
he looked tired, not up to the fantastic form he has been in but
he has been soooooooo good

Lualua 7 Did Ok, getting his pace back, went past his defender with ease,
couple of good crosses and won several corners which were
welcome at the end of the game. I just wish when he gets the ball
he'd go for it more often instead of turning back
Buckley 7 He is going to be a really good player for us, if he gets a run of
games and gets properly match fit other teams will worry about him
And yes i was also there
Thought CMS did ok, but didn't get much service in the first half. Second half the whole team played much better. CMS had two or three half chances, including a great header just wide. He was also put right through by a great ball from Buckley (I think), but slipped at the crucial minute. My ratings would be....
Ankergren 8 (vital save at the end, did nothing wrong)
Calderon 7
Painter 7
Greer 7
Dunk 7
Bridcutt 8
Harley 6 (nice touches, but lost concentration several times, and a couple of times seemed to give up - not the Poyet way)
Dicker 7
Noone 8
Barnes 7 (didn't do much apart from the goal!)
CMS 7
Buckley 8

You say our worse performance but give7+ for all Players I'm not criticising but but it doesn't make sense if the team is 7+ then in my book that's pretty good.
Anyway all said we are top of the league, we are top of the league!!!!!!
