handsofclay Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Great performance by everyone last night. We played for both halves in a fantastic game. However, the greatest praise of all should go to the fans. What a cracking atmosphere we created and when WBA pulled back their second goal City supporters immediately responded with vocal backing. Tremendous. We could possibly have been forgiven for becoming mute given the 3 nil leads surrendered away at Derby and home to Sunderland in recent seasons, or even expressing our concern seeing that WBA are prolific goalscorers at this level, but no, we went on the offensive and backed the lads who were playing their hearts out. So well done EVERYONE last night associated with Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Given the tension and the game situation, that last few minutes was so loud, so passionate- was an excellent atmosphere most of the evening but that last few minutes will live in the memory for a while IMO- would be easy for noise to slip away and sit on hands nervously but instead the volume was raised, the vocal backing was raised and it ultimately helped us over the line. Great last night though, well done all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I sang my heart out in the Lansdown as I always do - (got told to sit down as always!). Approaching the noise levels against Swindon a couple of years ago. Drove 5 hours to be there last night but wouldn't have missed it for the world. What a cracking season. 6 cup finals wish I could be at Villa. Always Believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So well done EVERYONE last night associated with Bristol City. I've been saying for weeks this is what we've needed and what may have been hampering us at home. That said... I appreciate the performance was a lot better than we've recently been exposed to and so you can still argue they go hand in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered how it came across on TV. I didn't record it. I thought recording it would jinx our performance as pound to a penny I wouldn't want to watch it again anyway when I got home. And, if as it transpired, we did put on a performance I would like to watch again I knew Sky usually repeat the broadcast sometime in the small hours and I could record it then. Unfortunately, upon returning home, I discovered that there was no repeat broadcast. Well, not within 24 hours or so anyway. But the night will live long in my memory anyway. Great game of football. Hardly any timewasting. The physios never got on the pitch. My hands were sore and red from all the clapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 So refreshing to see us start with a bang, and keep up the momentum throughout the half. Fortunately, three goals were just enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 You can’t artificially create an atmosphere. Scoring in 62 seconds was what did it, and it lasted for most of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
