Bristol City v Sheffield United

THE
GAFFER
Hello and
welcome
to our
penultimate
home game of
the season.
This evening we go up against a strong
Sheffield United team who are very much in
the fight for a top-six spot.
Due to deadlines I’ve had to write these notes
before Good Friday’s match against Stoke
City so without reflecting on that result and
a Peterborough team we should have done
much better against.
We have some talented players who have made
great strides this season. However people want
to look at the campaign, I know that we have
had some real successes too but unfortunately
what we haven’t been is consistent enough to
get results.
We are always looking at how we can progress.
The close-season programme for the players
has all been taken care of already and in terms
of how we shape the squad there are plans in
place. It’s always a mixture between planning
WE HAVE SOME TALENTED
PLAYERS WHO HAVE MADE GREAT
STRIDES THIS SEASON...
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHAT WE
HAVEN’T BEEN IS CONSISTENT
ENOUGH TO GET RESULTS
regardless of the outcome, we know we have a
new challenge in front of us today.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side are in the mix for
the play-offs so we need to match their energy
and show our own quality.
Last time at Ashton Gate was a frustrating 1-1
draw against Peterborough United where we
expected a much better team performance.
We can play well against the top sides in this
division, as we did against Bournemouth, but
then we showed our inconsistent side against
for the future, looking at how you get from A to
B, but of course A is the most important place
and that is the present.
There is a lot of hard work to come but our
focus remains on the final four games, starting
this evening.
Enjoy the game.
Cheers,
Nige
