Your attempts at goal were from range and easily dealt with. Your superior possession was due to you knocking it around at the back with no idea what to do with it. Only one team looked like winning that night. And we did so. Despite only playing in 2nd gear. Look like winning you had 10 men behind the ball the whole game, hence 35% possession. Fair play on beating us but I’d take a loss against you every year and not be subjected to Preston’s atrocious style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering we've already dominated and beaten you on your own patch this season. We weren't great tonight, but came away with the points. We're capable of far better performances. Don't act like you're Real Madrid, because you've recently beaten Man Utd. The recent arrogance from Bristol City fans is really quite disappointing. Salty much.

BCFC Grim Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 The fact people are talking about play offs and not talking about second as much, shows we arnt arrogant.

Mortis Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Morning all , all the best today versus Wolves - really do think that the 2nd place is up for grabs and you are right in the mix , looking forward to watching it tonight you are not only in form but playing some terrific football I didn't expect a great game of football last night but I did think we tried to play some level of football but we really do lack the vision/quality in the final third and rely on a solid base but should we expect any more for a squad assembled at £2 Million pound , quality in the final third costs and we will attempt to improve that with low cost signings and finding a gem but I think in the top third thats the toughest area to improve , we have some good defenders in Clarke , Cunningham and the superb Davies , grit in midfield with Pearson and Browne but have a couple of players out of form further up the pitch and a real lack of goals , scrappy affair but a decent three points for us , we played some lovely football before our injuries ( and on Sky we are always average ) and the loss of Maguire who played up top with Hugill has been a real blow , no question that in the last 10/12 games we have become hard to beat to get points back on the board and long may that continue , Hugill's antics in the last five minutes gets right on my nerves - no place for it in football I try and give a balanced view on things and do not believe there is any form of arrogance amongst City fans just confidence and belief no bad thing IMO , I know what we are and for the money spent I think we are doing superbly and think a play off spot is a slim chance but a chance never the less ..

Tonight’s game was shit, if you think you’ll get £10m for Hugill you’re living in la la land. Glad you beat Cardiff but hope you don’t win another game this season, you’re a crap, cynical, and cheating team. What happened to your club?

Mortis Fair comments but it's a bit disappointing to see you stooping to Warnock style cynicism. I don't remember that under Grayson. I'd love to see you, Brentford or the like finish in the play-off positions as I get sick of the media bias towards the 'big' clubs. The vibe towards us is still a bit ' they're doing jolly well but of course they won't go up because they're not Derby/Leeds/Villa/Boro'. We'll be there of course, goes without saying.

There was plenty to admire about their side. People just go overboard because the 1st half was so bad (mainly due to Cardiff and Warnock, I would say. Added to that one of their fans came on last night telling us all to calm down about how well we are doing Didn't help matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I post on this forum as I have always found over a long period to find City fans fair , reasoned and superb to away supporters , I like to think the vast majority of Preston fans are similar and whilst he is entitled to his opinion as we all are I don't agree with his sentiments and hope the decent relationship between the two sets of fans continues and if you are promoted this season I will be amongst the first to congratulate you and be pleased ( obviously I only want Preston to do well ) but I live my life by the glass being half full and being complimentary instead of any form of jealousy when I feel its correct to do so Mortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 The hamecessnt great bit let's not get ahead of ourselves. Sometimes a situation dictates the need. I'll hold my hands up and say I've barely seen Preston play so wouldn't want to judge them on that. Similarly I'm sure they haven't seen us play the best football in probably 25 years with a tempo and energy that few teams live with for 90 mins. Preston are a good club with decent fans, let's keep a little perspective and focus on those ***** across the Severn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Ignoring the lad who managed to both accuse us of being arrogant while displaying some of his own, I Personally was very pleased that Preston got the win last night - both for selfish reasons, and because of the two sides, I’d much prefer Preston to get top six than Cardiff. When you consider PNE’s budget they do phenomenally well, and would be delighted if they finished ahead of the likes of Villa and other big spenders.

I’d definitely take them in the play offs. Pretty sure that Cardiff would certainly not fancy PNE in the play offs, having lost 3-0 and 1-0 against them this season.
