Cannot understand why you would not give some encouragement to the Academy whenever possible.

Ipswich, West Brom and Leicester coming up in March. I think we really could do with a win today. Although I am doubtful we will get it.

I rarely missed a Pearson interview, his knowledge and experience made them enjoyable, interesting and informative. And the way he would deal with stupid questions was always worth a watch. Sad to say I don't watch Manning's interviews at all now. Wishy, washy and meaninglessness from someone who is not producing the goods on the pitch and has not got the experience or calibre of Pearson. Goodness knows where this will end.

Also should expect Liam Manning to get a hell of a lot more out of the current City squad.

I have wondered how much Manning will use the Academy. He doesn't seem to have much use for them at the minute. Is this a case he has a stronger squad than NP or has little interest in using their players. And the signing of 3 young midfielders for next season suggests that there will be no room for Academy midfield players. Ironically the fact we have a proven pathway to the first team was a key factor in beating other clubs to their signings. At the very time when Manning may be not using it.

I remember when we could have relegated Birmingham at Ashton Gate. But usual City we rolled over and showed minimal fight. If Stoke need to beat us to stay up then would be guaranteed survival.

I must admit when posters say we will end up mid table and we are playing this poorly I do wonder. Strikers that are simply not fit for purpose, lack of creativity in midfield and now shipping goals with some poor defending. And a lack of fight. I will be very happy to finish mid table but think we will keep sliding down the table.

Took my two lads to the game. As we were walking to the park saw a Charlton fan being arrested. His face was a real mess. He was complaining his nose was broken and he had done nothing. But it didn't seem to impress the police. In the van he went.

Interesting that Ipswich have no injuries listed. Haven't they got the bloke who was blamed for record levels of injury when with us.

Great player for us. Great tackler.If my memory serves me right he got badly injured at West Brom along with Micky Bell. Two hammer blows for us. And the Ref played loads of added time until Lee Hughes got the equaliser. An awful day in our battle to avoid relegation.

Well it never lasts long with City. The pride in the win over Southampton. The feeling we were actually progressing and maybe becoming a force. Back to normal today. Although it is half expected when you support City. I still find it really disappointing.

I cannot understand how Mehmeti ever gets on

Great result!!!

Well done Liam Manning and the players great performance and great win.

One way traffic now. Need to change something soon.

Well played Rob Dickie and Jason Knight. Brilliant.

No surprise there then.

You reap what you sow. Referees have been the punch bags of media and Managers for years. They lack proper support from the football authorities and surprise surprise the standard is dropping. And less and less people want to be Refs Quite honestly I am amazed anyone would want to become a referee in the current climate. But still they get hammered week in week out. Players have developed cheating to an art form now with the full support of Managers and physio and club officials.Until Refs are properly supported I cannot see things improving.

He is adding the bite to midfield which we have lacked for a long time. Really hope he stays. It would be madness to lose him now. But this is Bristol City and if they can leave us without any goal scoring strikers then they are more than capable of cocking this up.

If only we had a decent striker.

Must have been said but live on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

I would love Ashton Gate to be a ground that opposition teams were worried about playing at.

We cannot see the tunnel let alone any light at the end of it.

It will only change when the Lansdowns sell up and leave and take their cronies with them. Until then nothing will change because there is no ambition. And now a reticence to spend any real money.

The worst thing for me is we looked beaten before we started. Such a comfortable win and game for Leeds. At least we could have had a go at them and tried to put them under pressure. As for 2 strikers playing for us it didn't look like we had one playing.
