And exactly how we should be cutting our cloth. Just now, Mr Popodopolous said: Thought we were solid today. Compact. Norwich had their moments of course and a fair bit of the ball but for all their possession were not really threatening for the most part. Scott should've had a penalty for sure and the wait goes on. 70-30 in favour of Norwich as far as the ref was concerned it felt like. Nah. That wasn’t a pen today. Although when he went down I did wonder if I was going to be there to see the moment it happened. 3 Quote Link to comment

At the moment when Cornick comes on for Wells we lose a bit of energy up front I think. Cornick presses but he doesn't make the same runs that Wells does. It's early days though - I'd like to make it very clear that I am not writing him off! 2 Quote Link to comment

Garland-sweden Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Once again our defence was superb, Thats the key when we have Good players forward who can run and score. Liked Sykes from start, his goal counts but their gk should have saved it. Our bench is very good, Kalas and Weimann important to help the team. Tanner was very good as the whole team. Max can still not kick the ball out, throwing most of the times for Norwich. Fighting spirit and hardness was a joy to see today. We are a hard team to beat. Well done City!

BCFCGav Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Ok this is getting a bit mad now - 9 unbeaten and 5 wins in our last 6?! Unbelievable work by all involved - Nigel I apologise. Up to the safety and comfort of mid-table, the bottom three is less of a fear and more of a ‘let’s all laugh at Cardiff’. COYR ️ 2 1 Quote Link to comment
mozo Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Nige was right to replace Wells and Bell who just didn't look on it. Sykes has been a revelation. Great lad. 1 Quote Link to comment
pongo88 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Fantastic performance but one downer. Has Frankie Fielding been giving O’Leary kicking training? 4 2 Quote Link to comment
TheCulturalBomb Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Surely even the most optimistic person can't think of play offs considering where we've been most of this season. Have to just be happy with game by game consistency and performance. 7 Quote Link to comment

If supporting City for fifty years has taught me anything it`s that we`ll probably lose to Wigan and beat Sunderland. It`ll be interesting to see who starts on Tuesday, Mehmeti & Cornick possibly after such a hard game today. Quote Link to comment

Reckon either Wells or Bell would have scored from the chance Cornick wasted, but fair enough to swap them out when he did. 1 Quote Link to comment

mikep Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Don't forget that everyone will be saying that Norwich lost at Bristol City as opposed to we beat Norwich. Well done on what sounds like a great team performance. The highlights will be a joy to watch. Quote Link to comment

We've now got competition whereby their first touch and end product has to be spot on. Effort won't be enough with out quality. 1 Quote Link to comment

Funny how we're 'the worst side I've seen in years' from supporters of a team we've just beaten. Same as most weeks. Every week, we read the same. I say enjoy sucking them sour grapes, from a supporter of the worst side you've seen in years that have just beaten you. Edited February 11, 2023 by Ska Junkie 3 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post CanaryCouple Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Just wanted to pop my head in and say well done today. Not too much between the teams but you had the clearer chances. As I predicted, McLean struggled at DM and Scott ran the midfield, and Giannoulis at LB was a liability. Now in Bristol Beer Factory watching the rugby and hoping to sample a few more of Bristol's fine hostelries before we head back in the morning. Will be keeping an eye out for your results, and hopefully see you at Wembley in May. Thanks again for your recommendations, and we'll definitely be coming back for another crack at your great city!

Comparatively Will have to keep watching your games to see what he's like when he's at his best, then! Just the way he moves and makes space for himself on and off the ball, no offence intended but you can see he's a cut above the rest of your team (and ours). We saw the same with Maddison and Buendía in recent years. Enjoy him while you have him! 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment
And Its Smith Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 A caller to Radio Bristol said he ‘didn’t want to get carried away with this run as it can all change so quickly’. What a sorry way to look at things. Get carried away…try to enjoy it! 1 Quote Link to comment

MC RISK77 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 That for me was the most enjoyable match of the season so far- good atmosphere and we matched one of the more experienced sides in the league to a man. Well done city 7 Quote Link to comment
REDOXO Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 We were brilliant all across the pitch and from the bench. We have the feeling of a side that will do everything for the cause. Our back four are excellent. We look like we can defend dead balls and we have runners in Bell Weimann Wells Cornick and the lad from Wycombe with Conway to come back. No one wants to play us right now! Quote Link to comment
