Lovely half. Only disappointment is given the quality of our finishing this season that it’s only one.

The better side, clearly. Having said that they have had two chances, one in the first minute, where maybe they should have scored. Likely to need another, but on that half you would fancy us to get it.

Still led in every match this season.

Yep, Weimann and Nakhi should have both scored for sure, Naismith went close too.

That first half was a joy to watch we were energetic, fluid, sharp and incisive, causing them lots of problems, Wells could have opened the scoring on 38 minutes and when it did come what a great goal we did score.

I thought we’d been even more dominant than the stats below show.

So first half excellent, let’s hope for more of the same in the second half.

Alex Scott has been levels above. Some talent. So comfortable on the ball almost glides with it.

He does have a similarity in looks to a young Shearer..

Smart foul by Atkinson at the end of the half. Blackburn breaking out from their own half, concedes a foul knowing he won't pick up a card, and delays the game just enough for time to expire.

Remembering back to July when we were predicting our starting eleven for the opening game.

Not sure many had Tommy and Zak in their teams, undroppable now.

Which one was that?

[Lordofthebling]

...and we still have the option to introduce the beast...

[Curr Avon]

The passing and movement has been top drawer. Just need the goals to ice that cake!

[Slacker]

That was a beautiful goal.So glad the transfer window is closed.

 Credit to NP.

He is turning this club round, with little cash to work with

And with the highest % of squad retention in the entire league season on season…

[TNBT]

What a goal get in, hopefully get a couple more in the second half for a hat trick

[firstdivision]

The only disappointing aspect of that first half is that we’re not about 3-0 up. Blackburn have been lacklustre. We have passed it nicely. Can’t believe Blackburn will be so passive in the second half.

Radio Bristol saying we’ve been brilliant. Radio 5 saying it’s been a very very dull half!

Far be from me to criticise NP.......but 3 midfielders on the bench, and the continued absence of Pring slightly baffles me?  If we get a result them i guess he knows best?  Ha!

no need to guess!!!!

Pleasure to watch Alex Scott that half, unbelievable footballing brain on him. Should be at least 2 up though.

Unbelievable first half.  He can play anywhere, but for me, I keep saying his biggest influence for us will be from central midfield.

Yeah, but that was the same bloke who said Weimann’s late goal against Coventry was an own goal. 

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Small mention for Matty James, been winning his tackles and his positioning has been almost perfect this half.

Him and Scott my standouts so far.

We have led in every game. The two we didn't "open the scoring" in, Sunderland and Blackpool, we led at some point before the 90.

[AshtonRobin21]

Think we are good value today. 

We are comfortable in possession, playing well in the wide areas. 

Alex Scott looks fantastic today. 

Another goal for Conway is a huge bonus. 

The only slight complaint is that we probably should have scored more than 1. 

[Sheltons Army]

Well , this is rather enjoyable

[CliftonCliff]

Bloody hell, am I dreaming or what?! That was unbelievably good. Scott's performance has been off the scale. Just hope we don't regret the missed chances: we could have been out of sight by now, but it seems almost churlish to criticise. Terrific stuff.

Bristol are playing like Arsenal.
