Sunderland, according to some of their fans will be extraordinarily lucky to avoid administration.. in fact they say they will be lucky if that is all it is. 140 million in debt. Shambles.

FT.. good solid win by City.

Well done lads.

When they were searching for a new manager in the summer, the potential candidates were told that they had no money to spend and would have to slash the wage bill pretty much in half. That's why McInnes, Pearson and others turned them down.

Odd feeling.

Going in to a game in this league as strong favoriates.

Winning, fairly comfortably.

*Shrugs*.

Nice that we got the goal before halftime. Their red card made it easy for us. The start was not good but second half was better. Nice to have game when we can relax a bit. Eliasson showed us that he is a really good player. Sure he will do fine in our Club.

That’s a crazy amount of retweets for us. You’d expect that for a prem club. These gifs are doing wonders for our online ‘impressions’.

The 'Pitman' has duly obliged against the sags, Pompey 2-0

The Gas at Fracking Park? ....that's only 'miner' league stuff though isn't it?  

[wendyredredrobin]

Thought Pompey scored 3

[Robbored]

It was probably the easiest game City will have all season. It was obvious why Bolton are the strongest team in the championship. Not much more than a canter for City.

They offered very little and FF had one save to make.

 I think we could if won  more convincingly,  Its hard to know whether Bolton defended well or we didnt mix up our play enough?    Agree with what others have said some good inidivual perfomances but not functioning aswell as recent,  quite a slow tempo.

Its a shame Taylor and woodrow didnt come on earlier think we would of seen more goals.  im Not having a go the front two but boltons defence were knackered., I'm knit picking but i think at times fam and Bobby should try and link up more so we can counter faster.  Then again its early days and im sure It will get better with time.  

 

Still another 3 points in the bag!!

Not the best city performance and bolton were not short of effort.  Got the job done though and another 3 points.Thought one or two looked a little tired though and Fammy did seem to have trouble winning, holding and passing the ball.

That tweet got a mention on the BBC live text page when the 2nd goal went in, something along the lines of 'Bristol City have scored, which means more goal gifs'

FK in good crossing position probably last bit of play.

Sorry if I'm being thick. But what/who is FK?

It's strangely bugging me.

Agree, had a good game. Wish he would try his right foot now and again as can be a bit predictable cutting in on his left foot. Elliason looked good, two footed so takes it either way, cross or shot option which he did well when he came on

Free kick

Probably free kick. 

[Offside]

Glad to get another three points. We were quite laboured in our play at times, especially until the first goal. It seems like we struggle when teams come to AG to sit back and pack the defence. I thought O'Dowda was lively and was the pick of our attacking players. Eliasson looked tricky when he came on. 

Bolton looked very poor and dead certs for relegation. Fair play to their fans who made the trip (true supporters) but apart from Burton it's the smallest travelling support for a league match I've seen in quite a while. They very much seem to be a club in decline.

[freezer]

Ah yes, thanks guys.

[Shtanley]

Anybody else think COD has replaced Freeman as the player who runs a lot, works hard, but has questionable end product?

FK for free kick, sorry! 

[YorkshireSection]

I thought Pack was the weak link, he over complicates everything and stops the fluidity of many a forward move.

Think I'd rather see COD on left as he is all left foot. On the right tonight, he was always cutting inside and going across the pitch rather than driving forwards outside his marker to cross from the byline.

[mozo]

I thought Fammy and Callum O'Domah (the new Albert) had good games

He needs to release his passes earlier - not sure the point of dribbling from one touchline to the other wing either, in the time it takes him the opposition defence have regained their shape and we have gained nothing a quick pass could not accomplish.

Yes I do after tonight. So much talent, pace and strength but sadly lacking with his final pass or shot.

A dull game but I'll take the three points as it takes us nearer safety. Rest up boys and don't let Ipswich get too cocky.

The Barnsley game seemed a lot easier to me.

Not for me, COD has nowhere near LF's ability. 

He's doing well at QPR, scored again tonight.

Really? 

I suppose City scored 3 goals against them but even tho Barnsley were poor, they at least gave City something to think about. Unfortunately for Bolton, they offered nothing.

[bcfcredandwhite]

Did Wilbs get a good reception tonight guys?
