Hörður finds row z at last and that’s it

fantastic for 10 men

[City_USA]

Get in me babbers...What a performance playing a man down for an hour....so proud

[Chris]

Brilliant result seeing as though we were down to 10 for an hour.  This team really doesn’t give up.  Now to get through until the end of the window with the squad intact & we can really push on. COYR. 

[keflav]

Great win for city well done

Bloody fulham 1-2 

[Bizyer]

That is the sort of performance that shows that we can still believe in 2nd place.  COYR

[Top Robin]

Great performance and spirit.......would have lost that one 12 months ago.......that's the difference now.......belief.

[cityexile]

Really really important win. Playing most of the game with ten men, 0-0 at the time, and whilst looking the better side I did think ‘here we go then’. 

Brentford and Ipswich losing, only downside Fulham winning very late on.

[Luxo Jr.]

FT. Clean sheet with 10 men is a fantastic result. Diedhiou looked great, Kent had a good game. The Baker situation is frustrating, but we showed we can fight through it, albeit against a very poor QPR side.

Nah. What you do is admit the truth - that the ball is on average only in play for 60-65 mins. So you reduce the official time of a match to 60 minutes, then introduce stop the clock.  Extend HT to 20 mins for extra beers and everyone is happy.

I thought this (60 mins stop the clock) had been on the list of things FIFA (or some other authority) had on their list of things to consider a year or so ago?

[Dan Robin]

Vital win, after a game played with 10 men against 12. 

Good job,lads!

[NewquayRed]

We’re Bristol City we win with just 10 

[WarksRobin]

Candidate for performance of the season so far under the circumstances

[Luxo Jr.]

Good on Jon Stead for scoring AGAIN in the FA Cup to get Notts a replay against Swansea. Always one of my favourite City players.

[Slippin cider]

Well done the lads! ...

[Cotham Brow Red]

good work today. Worried when down a man but got through it. On to the next one now.

[Garland-sweden]

Yes, that was a game. 10 men and we win 2-0. This team is a team. Dont know what to say really other than COYR!!! Well done everybody! Always believe, COYR!!!

[Eddy McCluskey]

Qpr s performance shows where they are and why they are heading for relegation fight , we were class even with ten men

Looked to me as if Matt smith just had a swing and a miss for that free kick, complete air shot, didn't see him get caught at all! Game becoming very bitty now... 

He's awful

Yes, watched him interviewed on Football Focus earlier,  still a good player and such a nice man.  Well done Jon!

[Kingswoodactor]

I know it was 15 mins, but I really like the look of Diony!

Suddenly looking so good for options up top compared to a fortnight ago.

[Cider_boy]

Somehow I wasn't too concerned going down to 10 today.

-Being at home, with the great support

-against a 'lesser' team (some teams we'd struggle going down to 10, somehow Hollowheads QPR don't seem a threat)

-Team now focussed on the league, without thinking about another big cup game

[hantsred]

thats the first time I really didnt feel worried when went to 10 men - we have a the right set-up to lul the opposition and then hit them. Great result.

[Tinmans Love Child]

Baker red hopefully means they will be even less likely to sell Flint I think

You mean we can keep Flint in defence!? 

He was OK upfront, but it showed how much we'd miss him at the back if we do lose him.

[CrazyInWeston]

Fantastic, well done to Johnson and the lads.

Great win!! COYR!!!

[East Yorkshire CideRed]

Excellent result!

[cityexile]

We safe now?

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

What a performance from the boys, especially after the hard game on Tuesday, it was very hard for RB and Frankie to pick the MOM, in the end he picked Fammy.  I think the whole team should have been.  This team never gives up and don't know when they are beaten, even after having to play 12 men,  Stroud was absolute rubbish, I have never rated him, but he just gets worse,  Looking forward to Bolton on Friday,  again on TV,  we are the medias favourite.

As expected, an easy victory. We are so much better than most teams in this league it is unbelievable.

 

If we are so much better than most teams in this league, why have we won less than half the games we’ve played?

This is a tough division and there is very little between the top and the bottom. Let’s not turn arrogant off the back of a decent half-season and a good cup run.
