Finally FT, a big win after Vyner 5 mins of madness. TGH has to be MoM

[pillred]

So glad right now Whoo! hoo!

[collier]

Great win City! Takes a good mentality to throw that lead away so quickly and still get all 3.

[luke_bristol]

Awesome win.

[Slack Bladder]

Proper game that ..... I've got no nails left!!

[Supersonic Robin]

Zak Vyner the most relieved man in the stadium 

[Open End Numb Legs]

Sounds like we made it hard for ourselves but excellent result, to be celebrated later.

[Super]

Scoring goals at last. Great win well done to all.

[tin]

Good three points. A few opinions from me:

Dael Fry should’ve seen red in the first half, no idea how he stayed on. He was awful. Conway could, and probably should, have done better with his one on one. TGH’s was excellent, particularly in the first half, and his goal was worthy of winning any game. I missed the penalty and still haven’t seen that. 

After the break, two awful goals to concede. I don’t know what Vyner was trying to do; both Tanner and Max should’ve done better for their other goal. We were very nervy at the back. Crooks usually scores against us. Cornick did well when he came on and Mehmeti looked lively. An entertaining game in which a point was probably a fairer result, but I’ll take it! Tough call between TGH and Dickie for MOTM.

Well done Liam and the boys. Great 3 points 

[cityexile]

Vyner will be thrilled. Would have been easy for our heads to completely go at 2-2.

Mehmeti really helping out when came on.

Unexpected by me at kick off. Unexpected by me at 2-2. Get in!

[Dan Robin]

FT. Great result, well done lads! 

Some positives, some work to be done too.

He's a coach not a ******* magician!

A coach that has given us a great reason to feel optimistic. Well done city!!!!

[Jerseybean]

 

And breath. Excellent result but we so nearly shot ourselves in the foot with two poor goals conceded in quick succession. Think that’s only Carrick’s eighth defeat while in charge at Boro.

TGH goal was a bit special btw

Anis grew in confidence the longer he was on today. Hopefully Manning is the man to get him firing as he has the raw ingredients to be a superstar for us.

He certainly did.

[Northern Red]

Still find it amazing how certain people can't get through 90 minutes without having to have at least one player to moan about, regardless of how the game is going.

[Open End Numb Legs]

A quick check on the table, 8 points covers 14 teams.... tight as always.

[cityexile]

Cardiff win with goals on 96 and 99 mins. Cannot have everything I suppose!

[RedEyez]

Thought Mehmeti and Cornick were very good for us when they came on.

Manning out 

We’re you really that angry that you wanted to give the Snake and the Crayon Whisperer another chance to pick a new manager?

[Ivorguy]

Great result that looked unlikely at 2-2

Trust LM will have learnt a great deal after that.  Much needs to be done in January transfer window to see us secure place in play offs. But so far, in these earliest of days, so good.

[cotswoldred2]

Yes well done all and those who didn't crumble over this reshuffle.

[Tim Monaghan]

GET IN!!!!! Liam Manning red and white army….

[petehinton]

Huge win in a crazy game. will make the Monday fans forum much rosier too

Which is progress, given that you had us getting relegated 40 minutes ago.

Anyone been able to see any discernible difference in the first ten minutes? I haven’t. But that’s not to say someone with a better football brain than me hasn’t. 

Gone early again.

[Top Robin]

Really hard fought win which previously we would have probably lost.

Thought the lads put in a massive effort in throughout.

The only claim I care to make is that I am always a true City fan, veering from depression to elation without a stop in between.  That’s the real Bristol in me!
