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.
Making life difficult for Emil Riis Jakobsen and Cameron Archer by decanting every bit of his 33-year-old experience onto the pitch, his monopolisation of winning headers and clearing danger on land and in the air not only relieved previous pressure on Max O’Leary’s goal, it reduced the physical strain on Tomas Kalas next to him.
Taking the reoccurrence of another late goal away from it all, this was a fine demonstration of what City’s newest signing can offer to them moving forward.
