The South American set Maynard up for his sixth goal of the season as the Robins drew 1-1 at Coventry on Saturday, leaving Maynard to hope for more of the same in the coming weeks. "Alvaro set me up perfectly," Maynard told the Bristol Evening Post. "Considering he only arrived a few days earlier and none of us knew much about him, we couldn't have asked any more of him. I thought he had a magnificent debut. "The manager [Gary Johnson] likes the strikers to play as a pair and the early signs are good. Alvaro is good in the air, holds the ball up well, distributes it well and gets into good positions. I think everyone was impressed by him. "But he's only been here five minutes and he'll get better. It's up to us to make him feel at home and help him settle in."
