On the Leeds radio link posted earlier, they referred to Tomlin as 'Fatboy' and 'tart' and said he should be sent off for raised hand

The big question is: can we perform well in both halves?!

Would I? Pretty sure I've never said that?! I'm happy for us to switch to alternative systems if the game requires but my personal opinion is that our players would prefer to have the stability of a preferred starting system and the continuity of a settled team.

Do you want to stick with it?

Really happy of course with the equaliser and current league position. I'm concerned though that we don't know our best formation, let alone line up. All a bit Roy Hodgson at the minute...

Three at the back and goalkeeper change; it just seems a bit desperate, like early last season

I'm a huge Flint fan but his place is at risk

Why can we only perform in one half?!!!

This is gonna be an almighty finish!

Surprised about Brownhill

Very anxious about this game. I think the table will really take shape after these fixtures. Win tonight and we'll look like title contenders, lose and we'll be FC Average.

To be so dominant against another side away from home just reinforces that feeling that we've graduated to being a top half Championship side. Tough game next up - a real test of our credentials. Comeback results always help morale, so we should be up for it.

Richard Hoskin summed up the significance pretty well. He didn't mention a draw though, which is what i expect. Villa a goal up at half time, but finish 1-1. BBC Radio Bristol's Richard Hoskin: "As we assess the start of the season for Bristol City, a lot hinges on the game with Aston Villa. "Win, and it's nine points out of 15 going into the international break. Lose, and it's three league defeats in a row - and two long weeks before they can do anything about it. "In fairness, it's been a tough couple of weeks - taking on Norwich, Newcastle and now Villa. But a victory against Roberto di Matteo's side would give City real belief they can challenge in the top half of the Championship this season."

Sounded like Hoolihan was immense

Preston and Leeds both on 0 pts and both with 2 away games coming next

Not sounding like we can nick anything here. Canos sounds dangerous.

Commentator saying Kodeejer

I think set-pieces could be the difference today. I'd expect Wigan to try to keep it tight and counter attack. The defence might be hard to break down (hope not). So if O'Dowda, Tomlin and Kodjia can win some free-kicks in dangerous areas we need to punish them either direct from Tomlin or pinging it onto Flints head.

That's a fair summary.

'Okay at best'? We shaded it against a top side and went in 2-1. Some of our attacking play was great. I think the bad 2nd half has skewed your memory!

We saw every side of City tonight: disciplined, good shape, bouncebackability, flair, finishing, but also we saw the nerves, ill-discipline, basic errors, bad decision-making etc...

Good game, good goals, deserved lead

I think this will give Rovers the chance to compete with us. A north Bristol stadium with good facilities could sustain them long term. Hopefully it will drive Lansdown on to strengthen.

Next saturday is now huge. Regardless of your feelings about LJ, we need to roar them on v Ipswich because this is a massive spell in our season!

Tomlin looks promising but Freeman having a better game down the right
