John Atyeo scored 5 against Chichester back in the day.

I saw him score 4 against Shrewsbury in the promotion season. Everything since then has been an anticlimax compared to that. Bugger you Atyeo, you've ruined the last 50 years!

Colin Cramb scored 4

I remember it well. Four goals in an entire season, all against the same club. Two away and two at home.

FFS.... who said the JPT is bloody boring?... Try telling that to Matt Smith !

A lot of people said it was a useless paint pot cup. Now that Wembley is close, there will be a lot less saying that.

P.S. Which trains are everyone getting? Which pubs? What are the pies like at Wembley?

Managed to set up most of their chances too, by consistently losing the ball.

Today was the laziest, most lackadaisical performance I've ever seen from Jay. Let loose balls just go by him, zero movement off the ball, no anticipation, no tackles, consistently drifted out to a wide right position, duplicating where Waggy was covering . For all his goal threat he might as well have been sat in the Dolman.

I think his sum contribution was two good passes.

Cotterill obviously thought so too, which is why he was the first to go off

If he had gone off for a few 10 minute periods to have some cheese sandwiches and a cup of team, would anyone have noticed? I don't think so. There has been talk recently that he had improved his fitness levels. If this was the new super fit JET, how bad would he have been before?

Best first half performance of the season. And last season. And probably the one before that.

This could be the day when City surprise a few people and keep a clean sheet. That said, I'm going for 2-1

What's the problem with trying out Pack and Smith in the same midfield? They have both excelled when been called upon this season, nothing against Wade Elliot mind.

I was thinking the same. Elliot has looked slightly off the pace in recent games. Although he's fit, at his age, he's inlikely to start every match and a rest could do him good. If he was on the bench he would be a good player to bring on for the last 15-20 minutes.

Is anyone still listening to Radio Bristol? Was the last caller a joke? I can't believe someone can be that stupid but still work a telephone.

That's what makes the programme so good. It's like a comedy show with a laugh a minute. I feel sorry for Geoff 20man as he's got to try to make some of the callers sound sensible

Did I miss something on Saturday? There's a photo of Kieran Agard in today's Post with the caption

"City's Kieran Agard scores his side's opening goal in the 3-2 win over Chesterfield at Ashton Gate on Saturday"

They should be offering you a seat in the directors box mate.

After travelling all the way from Sweden he should aim to be a bit more up market than that. Who would want to sit with the loonies who've created the fiasco over the re-arranged date?

C'mon city don't take the foot off the gas. Sloppy passes creeping in.

Nobody should ever take their foot of the gas. Grind them into the ground.

Sorry to disagree with everyone else but I thought he looked average at best. No real pace - imagine a central pairing of him and El Abd!!!!!!!

One of the many reasons I was horrified by the appointment of Cotterill is that he's got a long habit of saying moronic things in the press that piss the fans off and cause disruption. He's really not very bright at all.

I hope we scrape by this season, but I wouldn't bet on it sadly.

What do you mean, he says moronic things? In last night's Post he said

that City must not slip back into the bottom four. It took a lot of intelligence to work that out.

Be fair - he talks loud and he doesn't sniffle.

I talk loud though I do sniffle a bit. This makes me better than SoD but not as good as Cotts. Not very encouraging

I cannot understand the 'we need to get something at orient' comments. Ludicrous. There are 16 games left. Home games are where we need to concentrate on. Not away to a team at the top.

I agree with these comments to a certain extent as there is still 16 matches to go. However we've only taken 4 points from the last 5 matches. Lose to Orient and it's 4 from 6. Our home form isn't that wonderful (we only managed to beat Carlisle thanks to a few minutes of magic from Marvin) so we've got to pick up a few points away.

Brentford seem to be getting all the ricochets

I used to know a Rick O'Shea. He was friends with Nick O'Teen and Al K Hall

What can Cotts do? No matter who he picks in defence they seem to make a cock up.

On the other hand - what a stroke of brilliance selecting Osbourne as a wing back!

I'm going to give the opposite opinion to the majority of the posters. I think this is a good team selection!

Although I rate JET, this doesn't mean I feel he has to be selected for each game. Even top teams in the Premiership rotate players and operate on the. " horses for courses" principle. IMO, in this game, City need to be able to break at speed from defence. A lot of posters seem to have forgotten Barnet's performance earlier in the season and have dismissed him as a good player. To me he is the ideal player for this sort of game on a heavy pitch.

There are a lot of complaints about the defence after every match. Much of this is justified but I don't think the defence is the main problem. In any match, if you don't control the midfield, you don't control the match. How often has City controlled the midfield in any match in recent years? We've got too many midfield players who can do some nice touches, or can run around a bit, but where are the tough players who can tackle, track opposing players etc?

(If anybody knows, please tell Cotts so that he can sign a couple)

I'm getting fed up with this. Each week people keep complaining that City concede two goals per game. Today City don't - and still people complain!

Which is Brentford.....

Look for the positives. There is a pub on each corner of the ground.

She's going home!

Bristol Rovers are the only club who were unable to think of a nickname for themselves. "The Gas" was a term originally used by City supporters.

When Duncan Edwards signed for Man Utd the signing on "fee" was a new washing machine for his mother.

Bristol City, although an English club, won the Welsh cup in 1934.

Bristol City's first floodlights were designed and built by the chairman's own company. (Harry Dolman - Brecknell Dolman & Rodgers)
