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

So when the game gets into injury time do we sing to the Preston fans "score in a minute, you're gonna score in a minute..."

A draw is still a good result away from home

I'm told it was a full-blooded elbow. That's the kind of mistake that we haven't made this season, hence the uneaten run. Lose your discipline and you likely lose a match.

I'd love to have him back but... on the issue of his distribution, lets be realistic: he played 1 type of ball out of defence all game, the 7 iron loft up to the winger/striker. Never did he pass it. Although, playing for a better team, I'm sure he could.

Yet again you've sinfully broken the bumping-your-own-threads-up-the-list-rule, and here I am justifying it by replying! I'll never learn. Lansdown's web-apes will not be happy. In fact, they'll be going bananas.

You're breaking the holy forum laws as decreed by Steve Lansdown and his trained internet chimps. There, i've ruined your thread with surreal nonsense.

I realise that...can you put it back??
