Klose brought new qualities to Bristol City's defence on his debut at Preston

Klose brought new qualities to Bristol City's defence on his debut at Preston

Bristol Post — Other than the fact he really does stick out like a sore thumb over the top of Bristol City's team, Timm Klose showed everything that he's about on his debut at Deepdale.

thechelseasocial.co.uk — In football there are auras that surround players, managers, fanbases, and clubs; not very often are these feelings dictated and spearheaded by owners, until Roman Abramovich came along. The conversations that take place surrounding Mr. Abramovich in the football world are simply unprecedented. He is the precedent himself.

Pearson goes against his instincts as defensive experiment fails at Fulham

Pearson goes against his instincts as defensive experiment fails at Fulham

Bristol Post — For a manager who has previously spoken openly about his dislike for playing three-man defences with wing-backs, Nigel Pearson's use of Jay Dasilva against Fulham was very against the grain of this method of thinking. The performance from his team, especially in the first-half against Fulham, also went against everything he stood for as a centre-back in his playing days.

King, James and Pearson's central selection dilemma to stopping Fulham

Bristol Post — The old guard are back. The decades-old shin-pads are being pulled on. Shirts are tucked in, there's a handshake to break the modern tradition of bumping fists. A slight scowl at the lack of black boots around the changing room but that's quickly moved on from. Number's 6 and 10 on the back.

Chelsea's Reece James Proves How Important Full-Backs Have Become - Last Word on Football

Last Word On Sports — Chelsea's crazy 4-4 draw with Ajax was not so much a game of two halves, but a game of three defenders. It's not very often that a full-back can be substituted on at half-time with his team 3-1 down, concede a goal and then still find himself in contention for Man of the Match, but this is just what 19-year-old right-back Reece James did.

Bristol City verdict as defence stands strong and O'Leary's major change

Bristol City verdict as defence stands strong and O'Leary's major change

Bristol Post — Nigel Pearson's tone has changed. He's no longer a man pleading with his team to confront their fears and be brave in possession. He doesn't have to groan with disappointment or anger anymore. His Bristol City team might just have turned a page in their season and their ever-uncertain spell under the experienced boss.

Bristol Post — Max O'Leary - 7 It was also noticeable yet again that City played a lot more from the back with him in goal et and were confident exchanging short passe with their keeper. A massive onlooker in the second-half but couldn't do anything about Harry Wilson's cross-come-shot that ended up going all the way in.

Nigel Pearson full press conference as he talks Bakinson, Scott and derby day

Bristol Post — How do you reflect on the week and what's been the main focus going into a big game against Cardiff on Saturday? The focus has very much been on this weekend because I think last week's game was very easy to put into context.

Expected City team to play QPR as Pearson faces Atkinson and Massengo decisions

Bristol Post — It's meant to be the most wonderful time of the year, but when you're Nigel Pearson and the one gift you really crave is a bit of consistency for the up-and-down Bristol City team, it's also a stressful one. The boss' reluctance to have his team not train on Christmas Day wasn't just a nice stray from footballing tradition.

thechelseasocial.co.uk — Okay, for gameweek 13 we have some good news and some pretty terrible news. The bad news first, Ben Chilwell, the sixth top scoring defender in the game, will be out for at least six weeks, missing all of the Christmas period.
