What a cracking result.

What with injuries and then Wright's suspension this week, Cardiff are not the team you want to be facing.Says a lot about how far this team has come this season to get the win.

Well done to the players and LJ.

The longer this continues the more we need to look forward to ordering large supplies of the Major's oil, as the sharp end of the season might just get a bit tense!

 

 

When the strikers have an off day good job we had our midfield and defence chipping in with the goals 

[marcofisher]

At least that bottle of lube that Tomlin bought in anticipation for going into prison didn't go to waste, sure Cardiff will greatly appreciate it after that. 

[cityexile]

Now be honest, when Tomlin went up to hit the free kick late on, I could not have been the only one thinking...well, you know.

[WessexPest]

Other than the Gash a win doesn't come more satisfying than against that lot. Great stuff! Fatty's free-kick clearing the bar got a gert big cheer.

 

We'm in the groove, buys! Enjoy your Saturday one and all!

[Top Robin]

Beating Cardiff feels better than beating any other team in our division for many reasons 

[Coppello]

Fantastic result and a proper, cagey derby. Loved the chat of 'you're just a fat Bobby Reid' aimed at Tomlin. What a Saturday!

[samo II]

Excellent result against a top six side, with the add bonus of being against Cardiff.

Compare it to last season’s equivalent match where the came from behind twice to beat us - we’re grown up a fair bit since then.

7 points ahead of 7th now!  

COYR!

[CiderHider]

Well, time to break out the butterkist and head over the Cardiff forum 

[City_USA]

Fantastic win Lads

[Mike Hunt-Hertz]

Woke up at 1:30, as had been on nights. Forgot about the early kick off...what a pleasant surprise....may have a sherbet to celebrate the sheep slaying.

We have to consider ourselves as serious genuine promotion contenders now.

There is no hiding from the fact that something very special is in motion here. Not getting carried away but we are getting results, wins, at places where we havent before. Home or away I don't fear anyone in this league.

COYR!

We all know how tight this league is, but yes, right now we have to consider ourselves contending for the top six. I might be the only one also noticing we are 20 points above the drop zone as well..

[CiderHider]

Now we can enjoy the rest of the day and games with no pressure, thats nice.

 

 

[CiderHider]

God are we c-contenders?

[Bazooka Joe]

How does that feel Colin Wonker ?

I' m importing baby panda's livers as we speak.

Big , big result today . This squad believe .

A win for Cardiff would have put us seven points behind, now only one .

Fantastic show from all concerned.

And enjoy the international break. Usually don't like them for obvious reasons however we need some injuries time to heal

[Midred]

Can't go lower than fourth!

Nope, I was as well. Listening to that last few minutes was torture. 

[Esmond Million's Bung]

Today was never going to be a classic but how great was it to see City dig in and not roll over to Warnock’s intimidating tactics, we deserved that win all day long, a great way to into an international break. We look a strong team not easily intimidated and happy to mix it.

Fielding 6 little to do, did nothing wrong, let down by Magnússon with their goal.

Flint 8 great goal, powerful performance.

Baker 7 Hope he is fit.

Magnússon 4 not good enough, piss weak for their goal.

COD 9 MOM get’s better every game and developing an end product.

Bryan 7 so consistent and so strong.

Brownhill 8 as good as he is his decision making in dangerous defensive positions and promising attacking positions needs to improve, the impetuosity of youth perhaps.

Pack 6 did ok, rightly subbed his impetuosity could have led to 2nd yellow at any time.

Smith 6 not at his best but never hides or shirks a tackle.

Reid 7 looked sharp today.

Djuric 4 easy to to ease off of the ball, spent a lot time on his arse and took up some bewildering positions when were attacking. But there is something there I am sure.

Taylor 7 looked good for the time he was on.

Woodrow 7 not on long but put himself about.

LJ 9 considering the unexpected change over the scandalous Wright decision, tactics and line up were great and substitutions were good, 30 points before Christmas unbelievable Jeff.

A turning point for the season

Keep going to January and then reinforcements hopefully

 

I bloody hope it isn't.

[BobBobSuperBob]

That's a massive win in the circumstances - with our limping depleted squad would have taken a point all day long

Credit to Nathan Baler - Clearly playing with injury / in pain -obviously  not at his best but brave - Well done Nathan

COD - take a bow

Sorry Hörður - not up to / suited to English Championship 

[BCFC Rich]

Cardiff forum before, during match:

We're going away to one of the best teams in the league, we can't afford to start a luxury player like Tomlin, especially considering he was gassed after 60 minutes just 4 days ago. 

There is an electric atmosphere inside Ashton Gate

Bristol City playing some nice stuff, most of it coming through No.10 Bobby Reid who is dropping between the lines.

Bristol City look far more threatening in the final third of the pitch and deserved their early lead because of that extra cutting edge.

Hoilett has been destroying their fullback for a bit, much better by City.

Flint should just do everyone else's gifs as well. A true master. It's an honour to be alive at such a time.

[Edge1981]

What a win!! Considering we were nowhere near our full strength

[TheCulturalBomb]

Looking Twitter and people commentating on Aden Flint, delusional Brum fan thinking they should go back in for him in January window 

[CrazyInWeston]

Great win, massive credit to the team and LJ today.

Thumping header from Flint off Mags throw clinching the winning goal, Fan-blood-tastic!!

Apparently the bloke holding the plates is Lee Johnson standing with his arms up in the air at full stretch 

[BCFC Rich]

One of my favorite moments was from one of their corners. One of their players was challenging Bobby for the ball and ended up on the floor. he immediately grabbed his leg to feign injury before clearly remembering they were 2-1 down and making an instant recovery.

Yellow for Brownhill stopping a break.

Woodrow not Brownhill.
