JamesBCFC Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Decent result from a decent, but not outstanding performance. First half was very dull with little in it, Huddersfield pressing our defence high when we passed in around the back, but brought players back very quickly when we moved forward. Second half more open and the result was a fair one IMO. Hamer probably should have done better for the goal, but Brownhill put in a good shot. 9 unbeaten, 5 wins, 4 draws. Onto the next one.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hard fought win against a side who played their 2nd string - hard to call it an upset etc as they are going to be a championship team soon but another clean sheet and the run continues. Thought Brownhill was superb too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Bristol City manager Lee Johnson: "I'm very proud of the team. We put in a controlled performance and were composed. Huddersfield are a great side on the ball. We had the lions' share of possession - not a mean feat against a Premier League team. "We had a bug - about seven or eight players were not well in the last 48 hours. Brownhill's goal got us in the hat. Adam Webster was great too today. "Young Joe Morrell had his first start - he's an academy product. "We are the underdog against the Premier League side. We have a young group on their way up. Last year we beat four en route to the League Cup semi. "We look forward to the draw. We like playing at home in the FA Cup but ideally you want a big high-profile game at home." Comments about a ‘bug’ might possibly explain why some did not get a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 As I remember it, Brownhills shot was deflected by a Huddsdefender. Never mind nice and well done Brownhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not remember what it was however! I remember that....it was in Feb 2004 under Danny Wilson....it would have been our 12th straight league win...I think we were getting excited about getting near the 14 straight league wins record....but we lost 1-0 so it didn’t matter.

JamesBCFC Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Huddersfield now lost 9 in a row.

Kingswoodactor Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 If only we had an 'Alex Pritchard' type player. Mad that Norwich had him and James Maddison for the first half of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Good win in a largely uneventful game. As usual City looked solid at the back but lacking spark when we attacked. Brownhill was our standout player for me and earned his goal though sheer determination. Bring on the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest away attendance I’ve been to. Then it all went wrong with defeat - goal going in really late in the game. It all kicked after the match on the walk back to to my mates house who lived there. We had to hide in someone’s front garden as morons charged at each other down the street. Cracking night out in The a Leadmill after all that unpleasantness (which I’m pretty sure was started by some of our sub-humans). And yep, Danny Wilson was Manager, ending that season in Cardiff and defeat vs Brighton in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiled Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 You can imagine that the Huddersfield fans aren't too impressed with this evening's performance and result but this comment on their forum made me laugh: Quote Chins up lads, I've been dreaming about what it feels like to be the victim of a Premier League giant-killing for years.

He's won 2 games all season (unless they won in the League Cup, genuinely don't know) and drawn 4. It's now January. If by January we had scored just 13 goals (plus any League Cup ones) and won twice then even I would be calling for LJ to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
