City third (O'Dowda): https://streamja.com/qVvBk

Did anyone else hear the Robins TV commentator describe the CO'D goal? Something like "O'Dowda slaloms through the defence and takes it round the keeper".

It was like he just shut his eyes and imagined a completely different goal!

Good finish mind.

He must've been thinking of Norwich away when we all went mental

We're so predictable. Away win with 3 goals scored, third time on the trot.

Reckon we should copy Coventry and play all our games away from Ashton Gate.

Birmingham head coach Aitor Karanka told BBC WM 95.6:

"I don't look at the table, I don't look at where we are in the calendar, but it's difficult when you're working, you're trying to do your best and every single day is the same story."

Who chairs whether he looks at the table?

All I chair about is Bristol City.

Wow. Miracles do happen! Well done everyone. 

Just shows how much of us don’t know about football.  In NP we trust.

Sessegnon - quiet with the ball....but “did a job” on Sanchez.

We`ve done it again! How many managers have we got sacked in recent years for losing to us?

I guess losing to Bristol City is the final straw.

Possibly - if you can`t beat Bristol City it`s obvious you`re crap!

We have got rid of a few down the years - the most enjoyable being Souness and Warnock!

He deserved it, awful and delusional, that's the sign

They were targeting Hunt though. you wouldn't expect Sanchez to outpace Sessegnon and I think it was a clear plan to crowd him out. Which is good! Because he's dangerous!

the Sanchez ball to Bela in the one time Sanchez receives the ball deep should be a goal.

And the other massive chance comes from hunt being unable to stop a cross because he knows, and he knows they know, how slow he is so he has to sit off.

It'd be really good to get Sessegnon back, and play him at right back next year! Sessegnon/Sanderson competition!

Rotherham will never have a better chance to break their yo-yo club cycle.

Semenyo covered Hunt (Bela) a lot better after that chance.  In fairness he was in a good position  when Bela crossed for Hogan’s header, but Hunt showed him down the line bizarrely?

the Sanchez ball to Bela in the one time Sanchez receives the ball deep should be a goal.

should be a goal from Hogan’s point of view, Bela’s chance (miscued) wasn’t easy at all.

And the other massive chance comes from hunt being unable to stop a cross because he knows, and he knows they know, how slow he is so he has to sit off.

yep.  You wonder whether any option to buy included.
