What price a Mark Ashton v Gas playoff final...

Akinbiyi, Brennan, Barnard.

I think we're going to struggle to keep Gyökeres quiet, he's a great player.

Will be interesting to see how Bristol City legend Kasey Palmer performs. Also Todd Kane and Liam Kelly, both of which looked decent players when they played for us about 10 years ago.

I think Kelly is perma-injured, and KP often starts on the bench...sounds familiar eh. Their squad is threadbare right now, injuries + a small squad in any event, so we may well see Kasey from the start today.

Removing O'Hare is like removing their heartbeat and Hamer isn't having the best season either, so every little helps.

If that potential scenario doesn’t bear thinking about, there’s another one that doesn’t bear even speaking…..l

Thankfully, there's no way they will get autos and if they did (which I don't think they will) get into the play-offs, no-way will they beat any of those League-1 'big boys' at Wembley, even if they do keep the 'Boro lad.

So the Lansdown family weren’t involved in the appointments of Gary Johnson and Steve Cotterill?

As for the teams you think we are better than: today Blackpool got a point at Hull; Rotherham drew at home to Stoke (who beat us last week); Cardiff got a point at home to top side QPR; and Huddersfield won at Preston!  We’ve won one of the last nine…

I fear it is very difficult to conclude anything but that with Nigel Pearson at the helm we are going down (and sadly I suspect we will finish bottom).  At least a change of first team coach would offer us some hope, which is surely better than none.  Relegation would be catastrophic for us.

It's gonna be an even more bitter pill to swallow if Ipswich pass us coming in the other direction!!! Doesn't bear thinking about.

If Han-Noah is the answer, I'd be keen to hear what the question is...

I would take Robins in a heartbeat but don't think it would happen.

I always wonder about that, because Cov - off the pitch - are an absolute basket-case, and seem to lurch from one crisis to another. On league position alone, I'd say we had no chance of attracting him, but if Cov don't get up this season (and we don't drop down to Lg 1), I think there are far worse suggestions...

I think hold onto him, hope & pray we don't get relegated, and then re-assess in the summer.

What do we make of this then? Are we trying to move away from being associated with alcohol and hence rebranding?

At least we know this was one of the three not to get offered new terms & a contract, can tick off the list. Should help with FFP at least, another one off the wage bill; someone cleverer than me can tell us what impact it'll have with amortisation etc.

Robins works wonders with all the continual fall out at Cov, they could well be contenders again if they hold onto 'Super Vik' et al during the Jan window.

The very, same Beanhead - he's got Ali Durden's back by the looks of it!

My feeling is he's someone who managers and players will like more than fans in that, based off the impression given by managers, what he does well is execute the manager's tactical plan is the way they want it implemented but without being especially spectacular in doing so. But you could say the same about Jordan Henderson, who was racked up over 300 Liverpool appearances, a Premier League and Champions League medal and an international cup final without most fans working out what he is good at. (Mount obviously has the Champions League win and tournament final appearance too).

In Bristol City terminology, I think he's a bit like Matty James. James' contribution during games isn't always obvious but it was very obvious how much worse we were tactically when he was injured. 

Cole Skuse vibes, you don't make that many career appearances without being a valuable member of a team.

Relieved in a way that we cost our own place, and that dork of a ref didn't.

say it quietly, but i think we might have been the better team.

TAKE IT ALL BACK, I ADORE SOUTH AMERICAN REFEREES

If Matterface says 'love train' once more, he's gonna get a punch in the face.

Only seem to get free kicks in our own half.

Why no replays of the key decisions...

God, they're Northern on that scream, not too partisan though to be fair to them.

Celebrating like they've won it...doing a Swindon!!!

Yellows still being handed out like the proverbial Xmas cards

What's the maximum amount of yellows in a professional game without there being a red?!

Not good for JP's flight back

only one team will win it in ET

oh my ha, awful game for about 80 mins
