The line was a bit too high, I get it when you're trying to get hold of the game but once you're ahead you need to drop off. We're not exactly blessed with pace at the back.

Said exactly the same. Especially once they brought Armstrong on.

I won't be saying that till we've passed 50 points.

Torp dropped off second half. That’ll be it for another 10 games now.

Lovely day for me.

City win, Folkestone Invicta beat Canvey Island 4-2 and my missus and her daughter have gone shopping and then on to the cinema, so I have the house to myself.

It doesn't get better than this.

They were a dirty side. Pushing and diving every time. It works though as 9/10 the ref doesn’t give it. Should we foul more?

Cracking result under some pressure given the teams below and won.

Tbf the ref hardly gave them anything, so I'll take him not giving McNally a yellow.

We'd be 5 unbeaten in the league if he'd held on against Norwich. I don't think things are as bad as being made out at times.

It's the performances SB. It all looks very laboured and unconvincing on the pitch while the defence looks brittle.

I don’t think we looked brittle after the first 20 today and dominated the second half

Wasn't pretty but you take the wins however they come when you've got 3 of your best players out.

They were utter gross. Genuinely shocked how bad they were.

The last 10 minutes was comical.

Almost every side we’ve played has been crap this season. Makes our decline extra frustrating.

I’m glad the management has finally worked out that you play Kitch and you get a bit better at the back

If we had held out at Norwich and played Dovin against Portsmouth we’d have been unbeaten in 8

Needed that!

About as good of a performance as we could have expected with no Clark or Wright

Second half we were actually decent

Allen never lets us down and chuffed for BTA

if we’d beaten Norwich and also put away one of the many chances we had against Cardiff and Milwall we’d be 9th, one win off the playoffs and looking forward to a couple of match winning players coming back to full fitness

small margins really

The Norwich point was more about the manner of the defeat and us being unlucky to have lost.

Nowhere near as bad as many think, tough game this afternoon and a gritty performance against a team of very similar ability to us...good result tbh.

Out of all the shit things they did, their finishing was the worst. Two particularly golden chances and both ridiculously poor finishes. It’s said it was a good save from Dovin, it was also a crap finish from Wells.

Yeh looks like they've neglected the striking positions a bit. Decent team elsewhere on the pitch.

Reading the Bristol City forum and they're saying "two poor teams", it's just the most hackneyed comment. That was just your bog standard Championship match. It's never that good and the idea that the general standard is flowing one and two touch football is bollocks.

Thought there were a lot of positives today and we look as though we're developing a style of play.
Still think that formation suits the whole squad bar 3 players.
Unfortunately 2 of them are our best attackers.

At least we're now on an unbeaten run and getting points ay home compared to earlier in the season.
