Sounds like it was a fantastic game. 4 points from two tricky away games is a good return.

Really good , noticed Derby pretty much fielded second eleven at Barnsley in EFL cup, so recovery vital for Weekends game ,  but yes come on let's see a big crowd behind the lads on Saturday

If needed he'd be down like a shot

Doesn't really bode well for us. 

Blackburn and Burton results make the people on here  stating we can stay up with 40 points look like incredible optimists

Interesting OK thanks

18,900 ... wow.. poor, very poor. That takes us below Forest on average attendances then and below the 20k mark.

How's it very poor ? Leeds had 600 more than forest of which the crowd was 19,500 , was that poor too ?

We are increasing the crowds well, will take a while.

Lot of people who didn't go saying it was poor , get a ticket

They are now back to the level where historically they have usually been (so by the way, are we).

Finishing above Accrington Stanley on goal difference really isn't the achievement their mates in the print and sound media will now spend all this summer making out that it is.

They will now have to play Sheff U, Coventry, MK and the likes in a ramshackle non league standard ground, if they find the step up a struggle their home games on a winter night against Bury or Oldham will very soon revert to the usual 5000 suspects.

As is said above, despite their claim to be "coming for us" in so many ways (as well as literally of course) we operate in a completely different league now.

As for those who long for the return of the Bristol Derby, what sort of ambition is that? We want to challenge ourselves against teams like Boro, Burnley, Derby, etc, not Bristol's equivalent of Gillingham or Leyton Orient.

On reflection a day or so on , although you have to say they kept going to the end it was written that these jammy sods would score another last kick winner as so many times this season but hey ho shit happens.

But asking myself why I hate them is not on the pitch but off , the delusional idiots that ballshit for England , taken this many here or there , always rounding it up to the next thousand or so , where our media tell us we had 1,997 instead of 2k,  the recent crap where they let it be quoted they took 40k to the conference final where even officially by them a year ago it was just on 30k, all they will care about is how many we took somewhere next season compared to them , and results that better ours against certain clubs, although be aware we did take 99 points the last time we were in that league , I know a few gas fans and although decent lads all live in the ' we got to show we can be better than them ' camp.

And by the way can someone start a new thread as it does seem we are obsessed with them as it reaches 200 pages BUT it's a year old !

He actually said on Twitter " we have our lists " so it sounds like they know what they are after by now, so please get on with it asap , unlike last years nightmare

Was unable to get to the game today but have watched the highlights. Feel our keeper's positioning for the free kick was quite poor and not for the first time. Left far to much of the goal to his left ungaurded and invited the player to place the ball into an area he was unable to reach. Highlights really show this error in positioning. No wonder LJ was not happy.

ODonnell has been brilliant since coming in, all keepers make odd mistakes but he is different class to Frankie, and has been a big part of the revival including a vital,save early on today when it looked odds on to go one down, if you are watching the games live you can see him marshalling the back line excellently, back off.

Truth is that is was a very good performance, most players had a decent game and we definetly  should have the penalty, nailed on , had a perfect view, the defender caught Tomlin , ref was an absolute disgrace all through and it's fair to say Birmingham are the most obnoxious team I have seen all season, in the refs face all match whinging and moaning which I think influenced the knob on the penalty .

Tomlin and goldbourne  were excellent , very composed and in Tomlins case  oozed class, definitely could be the X factor, BUT please get a striker in by Monday because for all the good build and chances it was hard to see us putting chances away.
