I hope Blackburn get relegated. They aren't a Championship level team in many ways and Szmodics' ridiculous goal count has masked a lot of problems.

Quite interesting that the lower midtable clubs dragged into it for a few weeks have now pulled themselves clear. Just left with the same clubs that have struggled all season QPR aside. Wednesday have chosen a bad time to lose all form

I can't stop watching his goal, what a beautiful finish

Well that would mean that neither Fevs or LM are capable of change? 

Lose some, sack him. Win some, don't sack him.

Doesn't stack up for me, at all

Indeed.

Sat here tonight, not that it really matters, I think he’s earned the chance to take us into the summer.  How big of me!

To explain (all imho), I think there’s been enough from the turn in performances since Easter to think we aren’t gonna revert to the turgid stuff that for me was more the norm than the Southampton / FA Cup games / performances.

There are still some concerns, but if we carry on with the bit more intent shown, taking opportunities to win the ball high-up for example then I think Leicester, Blackburn and today are more representative of how we will play than Sunderland on reflection.  I think playing Knight deeper is more the causation than Twine which is correlation.  I felt Knight did an admirable job playing the role he did, but he’s much more effective for the team playing from a deeper role.

So, I’m out of “sack Manning” territory.

I don't really understand how you can go in or out of 'sack Manning'. Either he is the man for us or he isn't,  no matter how you rationalise the point.

Forward pass definitely offside.

What's a forward pass got to do with anything? That's rugby

Great finish that!

Shown our midfielders how to do it anyway

The usual suspects don't really know the offside rule. Looks very close in reality

More concerned how easy they got through our centre defence?

Sounds like he fancied a longer summer break 

We've been battered into submission now by a clearly inept board who are lucky that results haven't been bad

He's not the first and he won't be the last. Proud Bristolian Bobby Reid jumped ship as soon as he could. Why on earth do we care about humans who don't give a shit about the collective at Bristol City? For me, anyone who has left Bristol City for greener pastures should be the arch-nemesis, yet we consistently lump them amongst our heroes - what bizarre pathology has befallen us where we gladly wish the success of former players at better clubs?

I'm friendly with Joe Jordan as it goes, and recently he spoke about the same thing. Pathetic adoration of what will be a footnote in the history of our proud club.

Legends are ignored, people who don't give a shit about the club are anointed as heroes.

Pathetic.

So players who better themselves are the enemy? The ones we spit out aren't good enough to be heroes. So that leaves the bang average ones to be legends?

Seems a bit strange to me

Loftus Road!!!!  Who makes this up?  Marginally better that Kenilworth Road and full of prawn sandwich eaters.

Written by a QPR 

Wouldn't even be the best ground in League Two

Roberts looks far better than at the start of the season

He must have still been injured when he came on against Rotherham (I think). Turned from a guy who looked like he was running through treacle to a good Championship performer.

I agree with others that Max is more solid and Tanner has been most improved but both of those have come with greater experience. Also Mehmeti is doing very well which seems more down to Manning.

Tommy has gone backwards as has Sykes although that might be due to injury.

Why didn't Lansdown get us established in the Prem in the 2000's before FFP was a thing and before other very wealthy owners joined the party 

Who bloody knows 

What a result from Glos to give up only 2 wickets all day

Boom Boom Jamie McCombe

That overhead kick v Wolves wow, wouldn't see any of that nonsense these days

Here’s a thought…. When was the last truly meaningful league game we played? I really can’t think…. Wasn’t there a season under LJ where, in theory, we could have made the play-offs with a win and other results going our way? It’s just been season after season finished with dead-rubbers for the last couple of months. Not even a relegation battle! 

Truly meaningful, Birmingham and Millwall this season. We went into them in good form and on the cusp of the play offs. Failed to put them away and drifted down the table.

I had a feeling at the time our season might pan out more successfully if we'd managed to crack the top six and prove we could play against the low block

Didn't even hit his hand/arm let alone being in an unnatural position or deliberate, whatever the rule is these days. I'd rather not have got a wrong un in a totally meaningless midtable match tbh.

All those saying it's a clear handball let's come back to see your reaction when a decision like that those against us in a truly important game

Official site says.

We know it was much less really. 15k maybe? 14-14.5k?

That's a shite away following given the importance of the game for them

Always been a problem at Ashton Gate

Ultimately its probably because we have a higher percentage of fans compared to other clubs where the result isn't the be all and end all.  Having a day out on the booze with mates or a nice family outing to 85 mins of football before the kids get bored.

The ref agreed with you and that’s good enough for me.

And let’s be honest if Huddersfield hadn’t spent so much time feigning injury and trying to break up the play then the game would have already finished.

For that reason I have no sympathy for them 

How to say you don't think it was a penalty without saying it wasn't a penalty.

I'd be fuming if that was given against us, I'm not sure it even hit his hand !

It wasn't a penalty let's be fair, hard luck on Huddersfield for sure 

Brilliant on the Huddersfield forum

5 mins added 'Whattt Wheres has 5 mins come from'

Helik down wasting time 'good shithousing Helik'

Pen in the eighth min 'WTF it was only 5 mins where has the cheating ref got 8 from'

shouldn't laugh as I would rather Stoke went down 

Pretty obvious that Wednesday was due to a terrible error strewn performance from Blackburn. 0 shots in that whole half?

Never seen us line up without a CB before
