At Ashton Gate, on Sky's little red button or a live stream your marks please:
Phillips: 9 motm for us some unreal saves Oshilaja: 7 not as much going forward today Lockyer: 7 decent balls over the top Pearce: 8 warrior Forster-Caskey: 6 looked okay before he went off Field: 5.5 seems a bit slow/sideways Gallagher: 7.5 tenacious and we looked better with him putting pressure on up top. But he went over twice in the box with no pen given - diving? Cullen: 7.5 decent and did he get the assist? Kayal: 7 some good runs, looks like he'll be useful going forward Leko: 5 wrong decision every time Bonne: 8 worked really hard and good running for the goal Pratley: 8 warrior Solly: 6 weaker side so understandably not so good Referee: 6 should have blown for foul before their 2nd but at least he sent their #9 off
Phillips: 8 made some great saves Oshilaja: 6 went missing for the winner Lockyer: 7 good Pearce: 6.5 didn't do very well for the first goal Forster-Caskey: 6.5 looked decent while he was on Field: 8 absolutely imperious ffs Gallagher: 7 good as usual without quite turning it on Cullen: 7.5 very good Kayal: 6 decent enough in spells Leko: oh dear. as he's going to get some truly low marks i'll give him a generous 5 Bonne: 7.5 looking like this is his level, amazingly enough Pratley: 8 at this point I'm all aboard the Pratley train Solly: 6 we all knew this was the wrong move Referee: 7 he was fine and he didn't bottle the red. foul on Pearce before the last goal maybe but we still failed to defend a long ball against ten men
Phillips: 8 Oshilaja: 7 Lockyer: 7 Pearce: 7 Forster-Caskey: 7 Field: 7.5 Gallagher: 7.5 Cullen: 7.5 Kayal: 6.5 Leko: 6.5 Bonne: 7.5 Pratley: 8 Solly: 6.5 he's not a left back, should have been Sarr coming on in that position. Referee: 7
Phillips - 8 Oshilaja - 7 Lockyer 7.5 Pearce 7.5 Forster caskey-7 Field - 6.5 Gallagher - 7 Cullen - 7.5 Kayal - 7.5 Leko-3 doesn't understand how to pass a ball properly and when to pass the ball. Poor player for me. Bonne 8.5 Pratley 8.5 Solly 6. Poor clearance before their equaliser Referee - 6 still some confusing decisions. Thought it was a foul from Pearce at the end. Aneke - poor player
Phillips: 8 - Deserved a clean sheet after some amazing saves Oshilaja: 7 - Did well at right-back, put in some delicious crosses Lockyer: 7 - Unfortunate to deflect the ball for the first goal Pearce: 7 - His usual self, well suited to this level Forster-Caskey: 6 - Struggled against their counter attacks Field: 7 - Was having a stormer, reckon I'd have ended up marking him higher Gallagher: 6 - Was tired and a bit less effective today Cullen: 7.5 - Excellent job in the middle of the park Kayal: 7.5 - Gets .5 of a mark for the booking, did well in large periods Leko: 5 - Continues to do the hard work really well, the simple stuff he needs to learn from Bonne Bonne: 8 (MOTM) - Great goal and great tracking back, proper team player
Pratley: 8 - Suited to this level of Football, hope he's got enough in the tank for Saturday Solly: 7 - Did well out of position, gains a mark for his clearance off the line
Referee: 5 - Pandered to the Bristol City bench far too often
Phillips: 7 - some great saves but beaten near post for the winner
Oshilaja: 6.5 - Could have had more influence given that they didn't look comfortable when he ran at them Lockyer: 6 - Never looked that comfortable with their attackers Pearce: 6 - Same as Lockyer. Both bullied a bit Forster-Caskey: 6 - Was fine before his injury Field: 6.5 - Looked very assured before having to go off Gallagher: 6 - Looked like he was trying to be himself in someone else's body. Tired. Cullen: 7 - Excellent on the ball, drove us up the pitch. Kayal: 6.5 - A class above when influencing the game, just took a while to get there Leko: 5 - Occasionally showed some flashes that he could play football before he stopped believing it himself and withdrew into his shell. Should have been using his pace to take advantage of the 10 men at the end but instead invited pressure onto our defence by doing nothing Bonne: 7 - Did everything asked of him. Pulled wide Lyle-style a lot and got his goal Pratley: 6.5 - Did his job. Took a ball in the face before our goal that bounced off him so hard it was nearly an assist. Solly: 6.5 - Looked more comfortable than I've ever seen him on the left. Decent performance for someone coming in to the wrong position cold Referee: 5 - seven billion minutes added time felt like too much
Aneke: 4 - What does he do? Didn't strengthen our midfield, didn't add to our attack when they were down to ten. Gets all his points for nearly giving Johnson an aneurysm by kicking the ball away needlessly
Phillips: 7 - some great saves but beaten near post for the winner
Oshilaja: 6.5 - Could have had more influence given that they didn't look comfortable when he ran at them Lockyer: 6 - Never looked that comfortable with their attackers Pearce: 6 - Same as Lockyer.

Phillips: 9. Saved us from an undeserved tonking. Punched too many times.
Oshilaja: 7. Looked solid.
Lockyer: 7 Solid but need to see the goals again to see who was at fault.
Pearce: 7 Same as Lockyer
Forster-Caskey: 6. Was getting the run around before he got crocked
Field: 7. Was doing well until crocked
Gallagher: 5.5. Poor tonight. Largely invisible and tried a bit too hard.
Cullen: 7. Great engine. Dead ball delivery atrocious.
Kayal: 6.5 Looked good but hamstrung by the booking.
Leko: 4. I’ve been defending his effort and skill so far this season but he’s getting on my tits now. Brainless.
Bonne: 7 Great effort and is a very promising work in progress. Two bad misses tonight that ultimately cost us the game but in time he will be finishing these. Miles ahead of where we thought he would by this point.
Pratley: 8 He’s our Lyle until Lyle is back.
Solly: 5. Not his fault. He isn’t and never will be a left back.
Aneke - 3. He is not a championship footballer. We were shopping in Lidl I’m afraid. We all know the reasons why. If he is a success with us I’ll eat my words but I’m not sharpening my cutlery.
Referee: 7 Much as I want to think otherwise, he was ok.
Oshilaja: 7 Lockyer: 7 Pearce: 8 Excellent Forster-Caskey: 6 Field: 7.5 Gallagher: 6 worst game so far (not surprised can't be excellent every game). Cullen: 8 Kayal: 6 Leko:5 He's Lisbie mark 2. Looks at the ball, so has no idea what's going on around him. Bonne: 8 Great display for a novice. Pratley: 7.5 Excellent Solly: 6 Not his fault, but bloody stupid sticking him on at LB. He was crap there last season & Sarr was available. Referee: 7.5
Phillips 7.5 Oshilaja 6 Lockyer 6.5 Pearce 7 JFC 6 Field 7 Gallagher 6.5 Cullen 7 Kayal 7 Leko 5 I can see why the WBA fans were more bothered at Field being loaned out Bonne 8 Excellent and worked really hard too Pratley 7 Solly 6 Referee 5
Phillips: 7.5 Good game Oshilaja: 7 Good game Lockyer: 7 Good game Pearce: 7 Good game Forster-Caskey: 6 started well, but needs managing better. Field: 6 started well Gallagher: 7 Good game Cullen: 8 Very good game. Kayal: 6.5 Good in parts Leko: 4 Just play it simple for frick sake. Bonne: 7.5 Baby Taylor Pratley: 7.5 Good game Solly: 6 not a left back but did well enough for most of the game. Referee: 4 Yes he gave their player a red, but seemed very willing to dish the cards out to us and hesitant to book them.
Bowyer 4 - The sub move he chose ruined the game for us. Kayal was looking fine and yet he brought Aneke on for Kayal? Leko had looked poor up to that point and I was certain it'd be him to make way. If you wanted to bring a big lad on to sure us up, it needed to be Naby. Solly should gave come on at RB and Deji moved to LB as Bow said he signed him for his ability to play anywhere across the back four.
Poor night after we played so well for 70 of the 105 minutes played.
I am so disappointed in the result, but the players did well, they battled hard and deserved more from that game.
Phillips: 7 Some decent saves but a couple of punches when he should have caught. SImply because we were under the kosh when he did them and play had to be slowed. Oshilaja: 7.5 I like the quality of the balls he plays as well as his defending. Lockyer: 7 What it says on the tin Pearce: 7 Did well Forster-Caskey: 7 Unfortunate injury Field: 7 Unfortunate injury Gallagher: 7 Not his best but still good Cullen: 7.5 Prodigious work rate Kayal: 6.5 Lots of poor passing but good things too, I think he will be a good signing Leko: 6.5 Frustrating but worked hard until he looked tired near the end Bonne: 7.5 Willing runner and a finisher too Pratley: 8 Did well again Solly: 6.5 Not his position - did a job there
Not sure why Aneke is being criticised, he wasn't brilliant but played his game and was ok. Maybe it was more that Oztumer would have suited the game better if we were going to try to win it, but I think the plan would have been to give Chuks minutes so that he can come in for Leko on Saturday with some football behind him. I thought ref was decent too.
