Has Williams completed a single pass in this last 8 minutes 

Certainly hit 3 poor passes from really good positions, fancy HNM would not have wasted those.

Last minute iof the game and we take a short corner  with all our biggest players in the box

I can see what they were trying to do, the outswinger from a different angle but needed to be quicker in the execution

Shame we gifted them 2 goals and can’t defend corners.  But yes, proud of the resilience and overall effort.

Agreed, I'll take that over a shite defensive display for 90 minutes at losing 1-0 with barely a whimper any day of the week!

[Midred]

Norwich defending for their lives at yhe end.

[CityBS15]

In a bar in Turkey everyone dancing around and I’m sat with a face like a slapped arse,  crazy game football 

[Curr Avon]

Shame, because for the majority of that game we bossed Norwich. Alex Scott superb again, orchestrating midfield and making lung busting runs to defend.

Its going to be a very entertaining season people. Lots to look forward to. Just need to cut out the defensive errors (again).

City's desire is incredible.

What is the Norwich fans problem with the ref?   Weird.

Ex premier league team not getting all the decisions in their favour. Heavens knows what noise they'd have made if we'd been awarded a last minute penalty.

How well did we play tonight for relatively little reward.

Their best attacking player was Naismith!

A big test, but not impossible. 

The Norwich line-up is ultra attacking, which will leave gaps. 

We can get at them, especially with the quality we have in attack. 

I predict goals for both teams. 

One team could win 3-2. 

Glad I backed a 3-2 win both ways. Put £5 on city 3-2 and £5 on Norwich 3-2. 

£100 returned. 

[Dodgy_Giefer]

Shame to lose that in the manner we did. We’re basically on fire.

[Jerseybean]

Strange game overall. We generally played well, aside from three moments of dreadful defending, all of which gifted them goals. In the end we will rue not taking the opportunity to pick up a point, at least, which was entirely due to our shocking defending. Just can’t gift three goals at this level. However, there are lots of positives for us from that.

If you can be negative after that you should find a new team to support. Absolutely ******* excellent. 

Well said Pete

Theres a few who need to get a new hobby by their constant whining

The best City footballing side I’ve seen at this level

**** sake. Fun game to watch.

Williams was our worst player tonight by a ******* mile 

 

 

Harsh he wasn't on long 

[Lordofthebling]

Daylight robbery is a quote on the Norwich forum.

Frustrating with mistakes, but we are looking more and more like prime Brazil going forward.

Fantastic effort. The team gave it everything. Cannot ask for more than that. But for the two goals we gave away we could have won it. The team did us proud.

What a weird fanbase

Rarely will you get 24,000 people together in one place and they are all related.

Poor goals to conceed but other than that the most dominant and complete performance this season

[steviestevieneville]

Again we go & out play a side away from home. There is so much that is enjoyable about this squad . Some of the football is great to watch . However the simple & they are bloody simple mistakes could cost us big time come May . 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Great display, no complaints about the performance.

Initially the two goals- the 1st in particular was terrible to concede I feared we were in for s long night but fantastic resilience and spirit in the team.

Their 2nd and 3rd were avoidable on various levels but we didn't just hang in there but took the game to Norwich, the 2-0 didn't finish us off, the 3-1 didn't finish us off as we kept going.

Very good performance and we were certainly more competitive than I feared.

Semenyo off the bench again too, nice to see him on the scoresheet again.

We’ve lost that due to two dreadful mistakes and also a poor set piece. A game we should have got at least a point in. 

Point would not have been fair. We were good for the win

Norwich do not deserve to win this AT all

Very poor performance from them 

How you work that out? They scored more goals, so they deserve the win - They we’re poor but still beat us.

If only all our players were at it, Weiman was always a yard off the pace virtually the whole game & mistakes at the back cost us.  

Frustrating when you know we can play much better. 

Waited too long to bring on Semenyo

[Rossi the Robin]

We are being entertained and exciting to watch 

Just pushed an ex prem side to the end 

I think Nige may bolster the central midfield v Burnley and change things up a bit

Really good effort but Naismith needs to either change position or sort his bloody head out as we can’t keep doing this.

infuriating as the team deserve better than having those stupid errors holding them back 

Absolutely 

Imagine it’s Bentley with two howlers then making a couple of good saves, which he should, people would be calling for a change.

Perhaps dropping him might just get through to him, he doesn’t just make mistakes he costs us goals.

The defending is far from excellent.

 

We have imho a real chance of the playoffs based on our current form. However our defence is a serious worry

It’s coming…

It looked to me he didn't back himself to take a proper one.  We don't seem able to clear the first man.

How hard can it be? As someone else said, we have 4 strikers on the pitch and Bentley coming up, you just have to get it in the area and see what happens

Sounds weird but i've been waiting to see City lose that well for ages. We gave it a go and played well, it was exciting. It wasn't a deflating performance like we've seen many many times over the year. 

It leaves majority of the fans still excited for the next match 

Yep. 12-18 months ago we'd have completely caved in after going 2 down early and ended up losing by 4 or 5 and barely creating a chance.

[RUSSEL85]

Quote from Norwich forum “Bristol City are going to make top 6 come end of season. Gave us a right old game.”

[James54De]

Swap Rob and Kal. Small adjustments in starting angles but should give Naismith a little more room for error.

I’m sorry it’s not the defence it’s one player.

Agree Semenyo should have been on whilst we were on top at 2-1, and Weimann should have been taken off as he just could not get into the game tonight.
