Didn't realise there were so many Coronavirus experts on here. Very impressive, guys.

Another winding up order dismissed for Bury...

A winding-up petition, not a winding-up order. 

How’s Eliasson looked?

Well done lads . 

Badly needed win . I don't care that it wasn't pretty.

About blooming time we came out on top.

Respect to the Red Army on this foul day .

Get home safely.

 

100% this.

As I said in the week, we’ve not come out on the right side of this type of game very often - if at all - since Christmas.

FT, pretty dire performance overall. Thank goodness for a decent cross from Kelly and Djuric's heading ability.

However, make no mistake this was papering over the cracks. Smith and Fammy were both dire,  Pato & Brownhill ineffective. I would give Kelly our MoM, no nonsense defending and the assist for the goal, Pack, Reid and Mags also came out with credit - but overall we were poor, as were Ipswich.

If we can keep any cracks papered over for another 11 games that’ll do me.

Fielding

Smith - Flint - Baker - Bryan

Paterson - Pack - Brownhill - O'Dowda

Reid - Djuric

Our heads have gone since the goal. This game is miles from being won.

I'll be surprised if this ends 11 v 11.

Haha, that didn't take long for me to be proven right!

I'll be surprised if this ends 11 v 11.

If we're going to make the most of having Djuric up top, I'd 100% go Eliasson over Leko if we're making the change at half-time.

It'll be interesting to see his delivery with a proper target in the box, something he's not had the benefit of in previous appearances.

Cardiff would not have been preparing to face 3-5-2 - IMO.

This is the one plus point - we weren't expecting it, so there's no way Cardiff would've been.

Enjoyable questions to 'earn' membership. Hope I went niche enough.

Been watching on fb page decent half we havent really got going as an attacking force maybe a bit lucky to be level with Norwich missing some good chances.

Where is this?!

Disagree?

No idea, I'm not watching the game - are you?

My comment was meant in jest, though.

How could city ever consider letting him go...flint is 100% every game.

...City need a striker though. Get Taylor on. Get Fanny off. 

Can we bring you off too?

Mark my words,  this is a completely different Bristol City to last season. We'll lose a few, we may even lose today, but it might just end been worth the wait.

And I never thought I'd be saying that in March.

Not piled through the thread, but want to say a massive good luck to everyone involved today - management, players and fans.

Let's go and do something special and ignite our season.

Glass half full - we are that good now we are officially a seeded team !! 

This is a really good point. In the eyes of the EFL we're too good to play Chelsea at this stage. Fact.

An absolutely remarkable run of form.

New Zealand Sky Sports 3 is not showing Bristol City v Cardiff City. Sorry.

I think we've done pretty well, to be honest.

100% this. We changed half the team, picked a couple who we know aren't really up to scratch, but dug in and stayed well in the contest until the last whistle.

Can't have any complaints with that. We'll need to back it up at Leeds on Saturday though.

So, Bantom10 is the new 'barnsley'.

Fair?

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.
