City Twine says pre-season work key to Blades demolition job

SCOTT Twine has set out his personal aspirations for the new Championship season following his opening day brace against Sheffield United, admitting that he wants to “kick on” in front of goal after a mixed first full campaign in Bristol City colours.

The 26-year-old scored twice as Gerhard Struber’s side kicked off the new term with a 4-1 win over the Blades on Saturday evening. Twine gave the Reds the lead after just five minutes when he curled home a superb free-kick from the edge of the penalty area, before Tyrese Campbell drew United level nine minutes later.

While it was Ruben Selles’ side who then piled on the pressure, it was the Robins who headed into the break with the advantage when Ross McCrorie smashed home following a swift counterattack. Anis Mehmeti and Twine, however, hit second-half goals to secure the three points.
