Pity about O’Leary being beaten by his near post. Near faultless dealing with high balls and distribution decent today as well - both issues which he has been iffy on previously. Scott and Sykes didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.

It’s about partnerships. We had some, and now we don’t. Wells/Bell worked. Bell on his own doesn’t. Thought Scott was actually excellent in that more defensive central role, with some great through balls and kept the rhythm going in play.

Yep, think that’s a fair comment. Decent on the ball, but lacked a cutting edge. If that Scott header or the rebound had gone in (as it should) would have been a different game. Not overly disheartened myself after the complete and utter dross we’ve watched for the past 3/4 Seasons when we could barely achieve backwards/sideways pass completions over 5 yards, let alone any form of forward pass. Obvious worries over Williams and, particularly, Kalas and we may need to start looking over our shoulders again! Concerns over the subs lacking any impact, which is disappointing again. Onwards and consolidation of mid-table please. ps since when has Robins TV not allowed you to link the iPad to a smart tv? Spent the entirety of the first half fiddling with the settings to no avail. As disappointing as the the result tbh.

Majestic. The Basketball team won away at Newcastle too. Good start to the weekend. Now, come on City do the business. Amazing if both the rugby and football teams gatecrash the play-offs. Mindful the women are topping their league and the basketball team are second in theirs, could be a classic Bristol Sport year.

Terrific, a real body on the line performance. Our MoM. Truly, ‘in the zone’, 100% concentration and top, top quality.

Thought we gave it a good go. Think a two goal difference would have been fairer reflection. Fans were superb. ITV coverage decent as well and pretty fair.

..and we’re getting overloaded on the left. Lad’s done well.

…. SL a man who spends his money wisely - Bristol City/Sport and this wildlife refuge. Bravo. An absolute credit to him. Meanwhile Bonkers invests £100 billion of our taxpayers money on his rail line vanity project that destroys nature and saves 20 minutes on a trip from Brum to London. Hope the shirt tag brings us some luck, and if it doesn’t, at least it promotes something truly worthwhile. Great to see our Nige also having invested in a woodland. Have an few acres of ancient woodland down near Totnes/Dartmouth way, hard work but great for the body and mind … with the added bonus of blocking/buggering up the passage of those pesky fox hunters! You reds!!!!

Yeah, but we’re Bristol City with an unerring ability to find a way to make the impossible, possible, and often not in a good way. Remember, we are about the only Club in the League to find a way to make 3-0 a dangerous score.

Always think the safety target is 57 points. Then we rest easy and start planning for next season’s promotion winning campaign.

I was thinking that. Not sure I’d fancy wearing a pink feather shirt. Still, at least we’ve played Millwall away so Max won’t have to put up with ‘maximum pelters’. Always thought kit was one of those 1% that managers bang on about in terms of player performance. Let’s hope Max likes it. At least the Fever Pitch team reigned JL in from going full Sam Smith!

A very impressive man. Sleep well Colin.

Schools in North Bristol were well ahead of the curve in the early 70’s. Not only did we have gang warfare, stabbings, kidnappings and school riots but we led the field in combining subjects like French, Sport and Needlework. So when we had, what we thought to be croquet lessons and turned up with baseball bats and pool balls, it turned out they were crochet lessons and we ended up knitting friggin pencil cases. Important life lesson on the subtleties of language for many of us.

None the wiser. It’s at times like this I regret not attending my needlework classes at school.

It’s ok, bit bland with nothing design-wise to get excited about. Seems a bit of ‘we need to get something out quick, let’s look through our past catalogue’. Pity we’re moving from an established ‘premier’ brand…but if they can’t supply enough shirts for the first team, let alone supporters we’re left with little choice it seems. Like the O’Neill video which has allayed some concerns about origin and likely quality. Are they same as the established and decent’ish surf gear manufacturer? Seems a different logo.

Don’t suppose you’ve got a cup in the van with ‘our name on it’ too?

Hope not, reads on some kits ‘One ills’ and looking at Wycombe’s third kit it looks like someone has been. Hummel decent brand and products imo. Pity if we change.

One of THE very best nights following City was that. Amazing support and team effort.

That’s the way to play winning, entertaining, positive, front-foot international football. Hopefully, Southgate was taking notes. Excellent watch.

Sorry Ryley

Ah, posted at the same time as Curr Avons post. They seem to be saying it’s Duncan Idehen then. Wasn’t this the chap who went to Carlisle and hardly got a game …. but now is Championship ready? Blimey, must impressed someone on his return and be putting in decent performances for the Under-21/23’s.

That’s a blow. Hope he can recover super-quick. Was somewhat bewildered by the decision to let Ryan Towler go for several reasons. The loss of a first teamer centre back, being just one. Think the Club said at the time to explain the decision that we had better coming through. Well, if that’s the case, it’s going to be interesting to see who that is. Any of our Academy watchers know who is the centre back that will step into the breach?

Came into Bristol from Corfu in what best can be described as a tropical storm. As we descended we got hit by lightening, twice. You know you’re in trouble when the stewardesses turn white and grip their hand-rests so hard their knuckles look like they’re going to burst. The ride was like being in a lift with delinquent teenager randomly pushing the floor buttons. Enjoy your flights to Newcastle lads and lasses. All part of life’s rich tapestry…but don’t worry at least you know it’s stormy, flew over the Bermuda Triangle once and the captain said he had no idea why we were bouncing up and down like a yo-yo as their was no air turbulence showing on their radar or reported by the flights we were following!

Clearly weren’t brought up proper. Izal had 2 sides. Coarse grade sandpaper one side for the scrape, smooth side fine grade for the final polish. Very effective. To her final days my Mum denied ever supplying our household with such Neanderthal-type products, claiming use of soft tissue only. My arse knows the truth though. Only on OTIB could a football-related topic end up with discussions such as these!

Awesome. Starting to look up the table.
