Blow UP!

What, Johnson?

[ChippenhamRed]

To give this point some context Blackburn's last 3 games are:-

Wolves A

Villa H

Brentford A

Even if we don't win another game, they will have to win 2/3 to overtake us. Despite chances to win, an excellent result for us.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Thank God for that, Well done City keeping them out, even so should have finished the game earlier with the missed chances. Wilbs injured as well, On to the next game.

[cidercity1987]

Great result, relegation not looking very likely now. One of Blackburn, Forest or Birmingham

That will do nicely - anyone who wouldn't have taken the last three results is crackers

Would have bitten your hand off for a point , even at one up 

7 points out of 9 is a great return

much better result for us than Blackburn 

[RumRed]

I'd have taken that a kick off so well done all.  COYR!

[Mr Popodopolous]

Dunno whether to be happy or a bit disappointed. I was looking up to overtake QPR and even push Ipswich and Wolves maybe earlier in day but a point seems okay overall.

Really? If we lost it would been bedlam on here. Draw is fine.

[1bristolcity]

That was tough, a very good point, keeps them at arms length.

 

[Red Army 75]

That's the closest I've been to a heart attack . ******* hell 

[lenred]

Great result and big boost to hold on as well given our away form. Would've bit your hand off before the start of the game for a point. Well done City. 

[Slack Bladder]

You got to admit, it's bloody interesting down at the bottom.

Still got 2 winnable home games to go, I think we will be alright.

[old_eastender]

Terrible tactics by us in the last 5 mins... at least 3 times Tammy gets hold of the ball well in their half but no City player within 30 yards of him and eventually he gets muscled out of it. Still at least we held on.

[oldstandrobin]

Well done City, just doubled my blood pressure tablets for the last 30 minutes !!

In a season full of negativity (dished out from me), I'll take that despite the missed chances. 

 

[Red Army 75]

4 points clear. 3 games to go . 2 at home. Definitely take today's results 

[Luxo Jr.]

Kodjia sent off.

[samo II]

Bloody hell; haven't breathed in about five mins.

Held on, and with the way results have gone, that is a solid point.

Shame we couldn't take more chances, but if we are down the bottom for a reason, and that is one of them.

Three games to go, four points from safety with only nine to win for those in the drop zone, and two matches at home where we're got an excellent recent record.

Pleased with that; have a nice Easter Monday evening everyone!

[Lrrr]

I believe that's us safe now, I can't see Birmingham, Forest, Burton and Blackburn doing better than us over the last 3 games. Yes the win would have made it comfortable but Blackburn not winning was the key thing.

How can a draw feel like a defeat? 

[stephenkibby.]

Fair play to those that could bear to listen to the last 15.

****** if I did. Great result that urrrrreeeeddddsssssss!!!!

[cityexile]

Jesus H Christ, that last twenty was tough.

Yes, would have been nice to have won, and maybe we should have won it in first 60, but Blackburn had to give it everything. Could have won, could have lost, but got the point we might all have settled for before kick off.

Not there yet, but one home win should now sort it.

[Slack Bladder]

We're Bristol City we never do anything the easy way.

Really 5 with the gd.

[Numero Uno]

Had the roles been reversed we would be raging now saying this was a must win game against a team who couldn't beat an egg away from home. Blackburn didn't win their must win game, yes it sounds like we might have won it but difficult to tell how easy chances are 200 miles away from behind your keyboard!!

Take the point, quick shower, on the bus and get the hell out of there knowing Blackburn need to get a minimum five points in three games (two away) to overhaul us.......and that's if we fail to pick up another point this season.

Ask Jurgen Klippity Klopp or Jose or Arsene, i'm sure they will explain.

 

[Mihai]

It's a good result. 4 teams have to overtake us and it's difficul with 2 home games and final season against teams with no objectives. 

Just hope we get a new manager, we need someone with experience to make possible what we all want.

[Out of his pie crust]

Get yourselves down there Saturday. 

[Port Said Red]

I actually prefer that result. 1. my wifes accumulator came up on the both teams to score coupon for £80 and second it means that both Forest and Brum will be shitting themselves. I would love tos ee either of them go down.

Difficult to say that without being there and seeing what we actually missed.
