Best player on the pitch today.....

Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:42 pm

Tommy Smith!

Wen't to Ashton Gate today, thought some players were shocking, and some players really gave it a good bash!

If all 11 players on the pitch put in the same effort and determination as Smith today - we would have pissed it.

Smith's signature was chased for the longest by Malky, who finally got his man, and I can see why. His class appart, (touches, passes not going stray, decent balls forward, chasing it down, general game reading was excellent. I would say we have found a very decent acquisition for the right side of the pitch at last!

Some may disagree, but I can see a good player here.

p.s. - new boy connolly did a good job covering Turner, thought he had a HALF tidy game today, and he will only get better!

Agree with this 100% Shame he's not a little bit younger but he tried his best and I was confused when he was brought off considering he was chasing everything, working hard.

Totally agree - Tommy Smith was the bright spot today ( and Whitts had his worst game for a very long time )

You probably watched a different game :lol:

Sadly I disagree with you, Smith was poor in my opinion, gave the ball away for the first goal. But he did make up for chasing down and some decent balls......but general poor team performance made him look bad.

Whitts was disappointing, his awareness was shocking at some points and was tackled easily at times.

Taylor had a poor game by his standards as well today, Adomah had him in his pocket.

For me, Mason was probably our best player today.

Smith clearly our MOTM for me and by a distance, thought we was excellent. Our only creative player IMO
