Twine 'influential' and McCrorie reaping rewards
Scott Twine played in a central position and had defensive responsibilities, and we've seen him get involved in a couple of duels in the middle of the pitch and come out on top, nick a couple of was destructive in attack. The free-kick was class. We know that he's got it in his locker but to execute that, you almost had the feeling when they got the free-kick that he was going to score from it and he didn't disappoint. He was influential again in attacking manoeuvres and he got a bit of luck with the deflected shot that went past the goals for him and it gives him a lot of confidence to take forward into the season. Ross McCrorie probably had a lot of talent that we didn't see [last season]. He was so unlucky to pick up the injury that kept him out for such a long time. He's certainly reaping the rewards now. He's versatile, we know he can play on the left, he's good in the air, defensively he's solid and he's having goals which are all Mehmeti was a constant thorn in the side of Sheffield United. But City came out of the traps really sharply in the second half, winning the ball high up the pitch and then when that cross came in from the right-hand side, he was in the right place at the right time. Nice to see him get off the mark early in the season. Emil Riis gives them a different dimension. They've got a focal point now, they've got someone to aim for, they've got someone that can pin defenders and make it difficult and can pick up second balls.

Robins 'clinical' but not looking too far ahead
Bristol City midfielder Scott Twine says the team were "clinical" in their 4-1 win against Sheffield United but they are not thinking too far ahead after only one game in the scored twice - including a direct free-kick in the fifth minute - and provided assists in more goals during the win at Bramall Lane."It's always a little bit nerve-wracking going into the first game, the unknown, seeing if the hard work in pre-season pays off and thankfully it all did," he told BBC Radio Bristol. "We've done the basics really well and we were clinical."It's definitely a good win for us and it's fully deserved. We have self-confidence, we know as a team how good we can be but we're not thinking too far ahead at the minute."Twine scored six goals in all competitions last season after making his move from Burnley permanent and said he was not "at his best at times" during the campaign. "I'm hoping to improve that, I've worked hard in the off-season, I'm really enjoying it and hopefully that comes out on the pitch this year," he said.

Ruben Selles demands improvement after Sheff Utd's heavy loss to Bristol City
The Spaniard was appointed into the Bramall Lane hotseat following the surprise sacking of Chris Wilder after the Blades' play-off final defeat, but his stint could not have begun any worse. Scott Twine's double and goals from Ross McCrorie and Anis Mehmeti ensured Gerhard Struber's first game in charge of the Robins was a much more enjoyable affair. Tyrese Campbell had levelled for the Blades but this performance will raise big questions about their promotion credentials this term as they were booed off by their unforgiving fans. 'It was absolutely not the start I wanted,' Selles said. 'We were to open in transition and they took great chances, so disappointed on that. I think we can, we should and we must do better. 'We were way too open, we were not structured enough. 'It was a disappointing day. The fans came here to see a performance and see a team chase a win and we end up in a bad day with a bad result. 'I am not going to tell anyone what to say, I think losing 4-1 you can understand it. 'I'm the first one to take responsibility for that. I think there is a second point about doing it together. And then there's a third point about, how do we show that character straight from now, straight from the next 24 hours, when you need to feel that pain, but you need to be sure that you are ready to go again.' Bristol City boss Struber enjoyed a much more enjoyable first game in charge of his new club. The Austrian, who managed Barnsley between 2019 and 2020, took over following Liam Manning's move to Norwich and will have liked what he saw. However, he is not getting carried away after being asked whether promotion was an ambition. 'It was a really good performance for my boys today. We expected a good performance but the result of this level against the opponent on this level, it's a small surprise,' he said. 'But this shows we are in the right way. A win like this at this level gives everyone good self-confidence.' 'I'm not thinking about promotion, thinking about promotion would not help me. 'We should focus completely on ourselves. We have to do so many things on a top way that we should think so much more in the here and now and not what is going on at the end of the season. 'We have 45 games left, it is very important to be focused and close. We want to grow our standard but we are not the team to speak about promotion.'
