Could see this 2 minutes in. Top 6 squad eh?

A Millwall winner in the last 5 minutes is my guess.

It does feel like that sort of game

I feel for Conway, he is not a lone forward at this stage of his development and is getting bullied against one of the more truculent teams in the league

Highlight of the game so far

Steward doing ticket checks E28/E29 of the Dolman today. In 30+years I have never seen this.

I got bag checked again at the Atyeo statue for the Sunderland game, they said oh but don’t worry you won’t be checked on the way in to the ground. Guess what…

Another Scott goal given just offside 

seems to be taking to the PL

One psychological trick we should employ is “forgetting” our own kit and having to wear the home side’s away kit, it will bamboozle the other team so much they’ll drop into the relegation zone in the last ten minutes of the season and get pumped out of the entire EFL system into non-league. It would be hilarious.

In the 2012-13 season, we comfortably beat Cardiff (champions), Watford (3rd and playoff finalists) and Crystal Palace (playoff winners) at Ashton Gate. Our finishing position that season? Dead last. It’s not a particularly noteworthy statistic really is it?

That was a mental season, we scored 4 past both Palace and Cardiff in late August, after starting with a narrow defeat to Forest, yet by the end of the season we were no-hopers and very deserving of relegation.

We hoped to summon the spirit of Noble and arrow one into the top corner in the last minute. Instead we had Cam Pring

Taking a positive viewpoint.

If, before Christmas, someone had said that we'd come away from away games at a very in form Watford and fighting for their lives Birmingham, with a 4-1 win and a dull 0-0 we'd have taken that..

It's that the results were the "wrong" way around that makes it seem frustrating.

But also it better serves a push for the Play offs for us to take 3 points from a potential rival for a top 6 spot and only draw with relegation battlers rather than the other way around, even if no shots on target feels a bit frustrating 

no shots on target in the 88th minute is poor against a team in complete disarray, thought we had a chance of another decent win tonight

No - we are edging it but by no means are we much better then them so far 

At the minute very much the story of our season so far (apart from Watford) - some nice possession but lack of quality in the final third 

I suspect part of their issue in the stands is that they’d normally expect to be winning by now!

A Birmingham supporting mate is there and messaged me and said there are already arguments among the home fans and someone has stormed out, are they really that bad?! We have 73% possession according  to the BBC!

Every game is hard, especially away from home - we have confidence unlike Brum, but they still have quality. No complaints with a point if we get it.

Easy to forget that they outplayed us for 90 minutes earlier in the season, one of the most one-sided 0-2 defeats I’ve seen us suffer at AG. They may be all at sea as a team but they still have quality individuals. Like you say, an away point would be decent.

Bonkers to declare him the right appointment so early, we were two points off the POs when NP was sacked, and now we’re one point off. What we can surely all agree on though is that it’s been a very encouraging 9 points from 9, three wins in three different circumstances, and two very winnable games to come. 
 

edit: quoted the wrong post 
 

Hope we go at them hard from minute one on Friday as their confidence seems to be shot to pieces 

Manning was very complimentary of his leadership around the dressing room in the post-match interview, perhaps a suggestion that he’ll have a future role at city when he hangs up his boots? One of my favourite players of the last few years, great to see him score 

Get in, great result 

FRONT FOOT 

Wow 3-1

Brilliant stuff

 NP not done anything notable in almost 10 years when he got here.

Did fine at Watford despite his ridiculous sacking (sound familiar?). 

Never had any issues with away fans in the family area, but try to resist celebrating. I see your point though, I go with my young daughter but would never take her to an away game.

Since train fares are already very unreliable and expensive, and are going up another 5% (albeit after this event), I imagine plenty of fans will tell them to ram it
