Striker Laurent Tolaj ran himself into the ground for 80 minutes and gave the Burnley defenders a torrid time.<\/p>\n
And when he was subbed with 10 minutes to go there was no respite as they had to deal with the sheer physicality of Elijah Adebayo, who is at Ashton Gate seeking to overcome his injury setbacks and get back to the form that saw him score 10 goals for Luton in the Premier League three years ago.<\/p>\n
Another of City’s inspired summer signings is defender Lisav Eisaat. Although just 21, he has already earned four full caps for Romania despite having only played around 60 games in the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Hadera.<\/p>\n
He is fast becoming a fan favourite with his pacy aggressive style and is forming a solid partnership with the experienced, but less mobile, Dickie.<\/p>\n
Some supporters view the club’s communication with fans as poor but one of new sporting director James Ellis’s many positive impacts is to address this. <\/p>\n
Jason Knight had been subject of much transfer speculation in the transfer window with his contract running out next summer. <\/p>\n
With the window shut and Knight still at Ashton Gate, the club and Republic of Ireland international issued a joint statement with the former clarifying that no agreement had been reached on a new contract but saying he remains an important part of their plans, with Knight reaffirming his commitment to helping the Robins enjoy success.<\/p>\n
With three games coming up in the space of seven days, City will hope to maintain the positive vibe that three wins in a row have brought before they enter the extended first international break.<\/p>\n
