Very true. A few weeks ago we could only dream of being ignored by the bottom three! I suspect fans of those teams are saying `Might as well forget catching Bristol, they`re safe`. Lovely.

To be fair, they probably don't realise that another Bristol team has just joined the League...

Where is the City v Welsh match being shown? I see Sky have the Burnley v Blackburn game around the same early kick off... do they have ours as well or is it BT Sport?

If I were a Rotherham fan I would be pleased that MK suffered a late defeat. City wouldn't even be on my radar given the form we are in. 

On the subject of form we are 6th over the last 6 games

Believe the early KO time is due to police advice rather than being on TV.

[Offside]

Excellent three points, especially seeing as we came back from a goal down. Glad that Kodjia (and Flint!) are scoring regularly again. Well done LJ and the lads.

Does this RB pillock know how to handle texts and Tweets?

Why, didn't he read out Horaces?    It's Oskins BTW

He's forgiven. He did read it out, but H is such an impatient hog

High hopes for LJ leading a happy band of men on a Forest raid and bringing the spoils  back to the Gate. Could be sharing the spoils on the day with a goal and a point a piece. 

1-1 for me ...and I'd be happy with that. A win and we'd all be over that proverbial footballing moon...dare to dream, COYR's

We Dared to Dream!.. Get in there my babbers!!! ... Fantastic result  .

(nice 32nd tribute/respect for James (Grizz) Grieve  a fallen Red RIP)

Was that our first win this season where we've come back from a losing position?

Mentioned this game vs Forest to my mates today

Nearest we've been to a major final since 1909?

My main memory was the number of us in the away end. I could feel my ribs creaking, and me feet weren't on the ground for a full 20 minutes in the 2nd half. Easily >1000 over capacity on the away terrace. Brilliant times. Better than sitting down any day.

I was in that corner on the terracing took 9000 i think , mental night.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Terrific night that will always live long in the memory. I remember when we scored looking around in amazement at how many of us were there.

Not so much fun when I got back to Bristol at 2am to find I`d left my car lights on though!

Re Freeman

Looking lively and delivering are quite different things

Over the years we've had plenty of lively forwards who simply failed to deliver

 

He was outstanding again today. You need to get a new radio. Or go to the game maybe.

Probably only held 6000. Look how small the terrace area was. Absolutiely nuts evening.

[ten minutes of rough]

Why don't you have a look at the Forest fans site, (on the sticky, main page) Talk about deluded, there was only poster that gave us any credit # post 250 for the win, they are truly deluded.

1. There av wage bill is 20k a week.

2. Forest are losing c.£26m a year.

3 Most said they would beat us 4-0 one said 7-1 Ha!! Love it. .

We had all the lower tier of the stand to our right as well though.

Feared the worst when Korey was not in the team - I gave us no chance! First ten mins it seemed to be coming true as they were all over us...then we got back in to it a bit before conceding a soft goal from a free-kick.

But when it looked like we would go in 1-0 down and set for a difficult 2nd half, Bryan pinged a shot against the post and Kodjia followed up, we were right back in it an hopes of a draw were a bit higher...

No idea what happened 2nd half but what a performance. Dominated and had numerous chances before and after Flint headed the winner. Where did it come from?! So much confidence from everyone. Pack controlled everything! Wagstaff looked good too when he came on which begs the question why Cotteril hasn't used him this season.

Delighted to be wrong about no chance without Korey.

We will be safe this season and hopefully a few games before the end!

How did Reid do, can I ask?

He's been a starter in a few games where we've got decent wins, so am hoping he is kicking on.

Like many players today, he struggled a bit first half but then was good 2nd half.

Almost forgot to mention how good Tomlin was. Made so many jinking runs.
