Bristol City v QPR 6MAR21 0 - 2 FT 17th/40pts

Thanks for posting northwesthoop - I was thinking everyone was too depressed to post! 
Let's face it, Dykes must be 'reset' to discover whether he can ever achieve in the future. He may be out of consideration for weeks. I have said elsewhere he should be mentored back into a position of confidence. I used to watch the warm-up shots before the games and reckoned that was a good indicator of how players would perform in goal attempts in the actual match. Dykes got 10 goals out of 10 shots in the warm-up, and probably did well in every other warm-up or training session, but he has no confidence in the actual matches. As you indicate, who is to replace him? Kelman is anonymous when he comes on, and Bonne is only half as good as Wells in the same role in my opinion; so there is no natural alternative. You mention Willock but I would like to try Adomah there as he is an awkward s*d to play against. whilst we are bemoaning the strikers perhaps I should mention it was expected the attacking midfielders would take advantage of opportunities and score more this season. That has not happened to the degree I would have expected...

Field & Johansen makes sense to me as the DMs, alongside Kane or Kakay and Wallace. How things have changed - we had mega-worries about the defence but there is hardly a mention of them these days! 

I am guessing those games we did lose without Cameron were when we played a back 4? Aside from the strikers I think this is a good starting XI. My concern is that Willock will not create anything in the goal area, being bundled off the ball too easily, but we will see.

11mins and great diagonal cross from Kane is met by Chair's HEAD!

21 mins 0-2 after they were queuing up to shoot from a Chair short corner but it is Dickie who gets the honour - and left-footed too!

The match I decide not to watch



Bristol City have made all 3 subs already! Surely we can't throw these 3 points away!!

Get a third goal and make all 5 subs. Austin, Chair, Johansen all nicely rested then for Wycombe. No excuses for Warburton!
