Test
Passed?
Ok just testing there. First submission in years.
Chepstow White here - used to post on LEP forum many moons ago and had to break my silence after last night. Went to Ashton Gate in some dread after the last seven weeks but pleasantly surprised to see a restored team dishing the dirt on Brizzle. We beat them at their own game, as a magnanimous Lee Johnson said afterwards, giving them no space and always threatening to get a few at the other end. Gally was immense, using the ball creatively and actually tracking back in defence. DJ and Pearson linked well. Hunts and Davies were composed and Fisher was a revelation, having a big hand in both goals. The city fans were awful, giving us jip for spoiling tactics (which LJ said was what they’d have done anyway) but we’re even worse towards their own lads. Blimey, I always thought Deepdale was a cynical crowd. Hugill gave his all. Barky was quick and, with Fisher, meant all their efforts came from the opposite side. And I thought Maxwell did well. Dominated the box in very slippery conditions and couldnt be blamed for the goal (which he nearly pushed aside). Only doubts were Mavi and Woods but when Maguero and Earl/Cunningham return that’ll be fine too. LJ said we were a very good team who he tipped for playoffs at least. Good job he’s the boss at City and not the subhumans sat near me. Right then, Delia, let’s be ‘aving you next.

Agree with this.
After a poor run it’s good to be able to give positive feedback.
The whole team put in a shift last night, quickly closing down the opposition when we didn’t have the ball and when we were in possession we passed it neatly through midfield. Hugill stood up to a lot of punishment from their central defensive pair and ran his socks off to harry the City defence all night. Mavididi also played his part in keeping the city back four under pressure before being subbed for what looked like a possible hamstring.
Pearson covered acres of ground almost to the extent of being overworked but with Johnson giving good support and looking more like what he is capable of and with the calming influence of Gallagher mixed in, the midfield gave an impressive performance. And with Barkhuizen making tireless runs on the right hand side we maintained a threat going forward.
Ben Davies was excellent on his return as was Fisher who put in a storming five star performance at the back and in support of the attack by cutting into the opposition box on several occasions creating panic in the City defence. If he can maintain that form his position at right back is his.
Woods was fine first half but found it hard going when City made a half time change bringing on a winger who went past him a bit too often. Some allowance needs to be made given that he was playing in a less favoured left back role.
Robinson has been off colour all season but on a wet slippery pitch his pace was an asset when he came on for the last half hour and his determination to get into the box and finish with a clever deft touch shows what he can do.
A big step up from Bolton last Friday, with the team looking a lot more solid.
More of the same please.

Sounds like a comprehensive summary and well deserved 3 points!

Mavididi had a good game again. Good on the ball and puts himself about physically which is encouraging as it’s not always the case with young PL loanees.
He will most likely significantly improve too. Worth remembering it was only his 3rd start for the club, and just his 2nd in his preferred central striking role.
