Guilherme takes the match ball home
5 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

No mercy from Bristol City
Oxford United will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Bristol City were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Adam Randell in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bristol City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Guilherme was on a different afternoon to everybody else
10.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

6 goals as Bristol City and Oxford United go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Bristol City and Oxford United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Romano Floriani Mussolini did the work nobody counts — 7.58
14 combined actions and 7.58. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Ninety minutes of Sam Greenwood at his very best
Marked 8.08. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bristol City.

Nobody could get near Adam Randell
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Neto Borges is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
