I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Jay daSilva must spend hours and hours practicing over hitting crosses. It certainly shows on match days.

Gave away a cheap corner. Bentley in no man’s land. Awful.

Tomas Kalas back training in 10 days was the big news. That said, I guess it’s going to take him 3/4 weeks before he’s ready to start playing, so probably won’t see him back properly until after the WC.

Not just RTV but, Sky, BT sports etc, I love to have the option of watching the game with the crowd noise but without commentary.

Agreed. I thought King was class until the forced change. Would love to see him team up with Alex Scott in midfield at same stage. Antoine is just off it. Andi looks better tonight. Dasilva great. Sykes poor. One moment of quality from either side will win this.

Back in it.

Well let’s help it’s the proverbial game of two halves.

Semenyo on.

Big 15 mins for Nige. We’ve been an absolute dog’s dinner all over the park. Sykes needs hooked. Andi is struggling. As for the defence, they need a rocket up their arses.

You greedy so and so Conway

Joe Williams this time almost gifts them a goal.

We’ve time travelled back a year.

If you’ve not been on a Bristol Bus for a while, you now pay by credit/ debit card. Just tap the card reader getting on and remember also to tap out when getting off. I think a single is £2.10.

Like watching paint dry.

23rd Feb 1903. FA Cup, Spurs 1 Bristol City 0. Spurs were indeed a Southern League team at the time. So that’s two FA cup defeats to non league sides. You can’t even argue that we’ve never lost an FA cup tie to a club who are currently non league, because we lost in the cup to Wrexham in 1978.

The problem is we don’t have a plan B. For an example, Could we have not gone to Burnley today and played 4 at the back, packed midfield and played Wells/Semenyo up top? I appreciate we’ve found a winning system that works agains typical championship sides, but against those who have “better players”, a tweak here and there might no go amiss.

“2 poor teams really. We could have 3 or 4 more ourselves. Don't really remember them having many good chances to score than the 6 that went in” ?????

If Conway scores more than 20 goals this season, which he is well on course to do, he could be worth more than both of them.

Well I’ll row against the tide. I’d rather watch a boring 1-0 win than an exciting 3-2 loss. The problem is, as we all know, we don’t have the players to play for a 0-0 draw, with the hope of nicking it at the end. Whether Nige will change the style of play, when he has the financial leeway to bring in a few defenders, remains to be seen.

Tempting fate, but Burnley were far from impressive last night. If, and that’s an enormous if, we can cut out the defensive mistakes, we can go there and win.

Shame we gifted them 2 goals and can’t defend corners. But yes, proud of the resilience and overall effort.

A match sharp Antoine will give this Norwich defence the absolute Barry Whites.

Kai Naismith 2 Bristol City 0

My prediction: it won’t finish 0-0.
