2nd best but we didn‘t even compete - Bournemouth [H] reviewed

The expected success against already relegated Rotherham was achieved with another penalty expertly slotted home by Conway a superbly executed free kick from Twine which, added to his all round contribution, might just see the purse strings relaxed to sign him.Ian, Mark & the Suttons analyse the game with DaveP as well a marvelling out how the storm clouds that were gathering pre-Easter have been replaced by the blue skies of optimism when looking at the prospects for next season Hosted on Acast.

DaveP & Ian Gay met with Gavin Marshall last week to discuss all matters Bristol City!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

City extended their unbeaten run to 6 games in an entertaining game against the play-off bound Canaries.Mark Sykes fluffed an easy one on one early but City weren't to rue that miss taking the lead after 54 mins with a striker's finish from increasingly impressive defender Haydon Roberts. They only held it for a few minutes before Norwich equalized with a goal that had a hint of offside about it but then stood firm as Norwich sought to further capitalise and finished the stronger side even having a Cornick effort disallowed.Williams was immense in midfield and surely must be persuaded to stay. Him, Knight & Bird at the heart of the team is an exciting prospect for next season.Twine was OK but whilst going close with two trademark free kicks DaveP, Ian, Mark & DaveFevs can't make a case for him joining for the money he would cost, "...there is better value out there". He's yet to be on the losing side in his time with us though!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DaveP discusses Saturday's Ashton Gate action with Mark, Ian & the Suttons.City kept that unbeaten run intact with a generously awarded penalty in the 100th minute to make it 1-1.Huddersfield played with more intensity but Max had little to do in goal which might have been just as well since he appeared to be in some pain after taking a nasty knock in the first half.Trying to think of nice things we reminisce on the 9th anniversary of the 6-0 win at Bradford which secured the 2014/15 promotion. We debate how many of that team would feature in today's.We try to look forward to 24/25 with optimism but the view of the panel is that it'll be more of the same. Hosted on Acast.

The unbeaten run continues as City ran out clear winners to extend their unbeaten run to 4 with another clean sheet which they've now achieved in 5 of the last 6 games.Blackburn had one of the worst players to grace the Ashton Gate pitch in recent years with Dominic Hyam at fault for the first 3 goals one way or another! Tommy Conway and sub Nahki Wells both grabbed a brace of goals and the penalty famine appears to be over with each scoring from the spot.Max O'Leary was rarely troubled, Sammie Szmodics had a return he'll wish to forget and even the referee was decent. Roberts was impressive in defence & Joe Williams brought extra energy to midfield alongside Knight in contrast to the more measured style of James.If we miss the play-offs by 5-7 points by maintaining this form in the final four games we will be ruing that bad form of the 6 games prior to the international break that produced a measly 3 points!!!

Not a pretty game at the windswept Stadium of Light as City came away with a point largely thanks to the heroics of Max O'Leary who produced a string of saves which kept Sunderland out & prolonged their miserable run.DaveP hosts a discussion on the match action and more with Ian, Mark & Lez Hosted on Acast.

Nahki Wells close range header was enough to give City all three points at Home Park and make it a Happy Easter for Liam Manning who has to be praised for his game management across the two games.Ian, Mark, Neil and debut contributor Ani joined DaveP in reviewing the matchday action as well as speculating where City might finish in the table with just 6 games to go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can't deny the fact that City deserved all three points against a Leicester side who have now lost 4 of their last 6 games and in so doing might have to settle for a play-off spot despite leading the division for months.Manning changed the formation which meant the left side was strong with Pring & the impressive Roberts. Mehemti was at his most infuriating but he capped his performance with a well struck winning goal.Max O'Leary deserves praise for some fine saves and even his distribution was on point today.What's the view on Twine and Conway for that matter - should we sign the former whilst did our Scottish U21 put some ££££ on his value based on today's performance.Andrew Kitchen the ref, what a disgrace - showed unbelievable "big team" favouritism Overall though one swallow does not a summer make but things aren't perhaps as bad as some of us are making out?

With no match this weekend DaveP took the opportunity to chew the cud on all matters Bristol City with former player Chris and respected local journalist Richard.Premature to be having an end of season review? Not really with nothing but pride to play for over the next 5 weeks.Lots of topics covered with Richard very much in the "be careful what you wish for" camp for those who say SL should move on but tempering that by saying the purse strings need to be relaxed in the summer with a marquee signing.Neither Richard or Chris feel Liam's position is at risk although there was some agreement with DaveP's suggestion that Liam could do with some help in the dugout - no disrespect to Hoggy but he doesn't have a playing record of note whilst Manning knowledge is out of a coaching manual!

We’re not very good and neither, it would seem. are any of the teams below us in the table! Birmingham, Sheff Wed., Plymouth and Stoke all lost while the other 3 dog- eat-dog games produced three 0-0 draws.There will, it must seem now, little chance of a flurry of decent performances between now and the end of the season and if we maintain our current levels a final placing in the range 17th-19th looks likely.Will we achieve a best in 4 seasons no of wins with the 3 needed to achieve that, probably not and with it the chance of equalling last season’s points tally.Its not good and I think it more than likely that a fair number of season ticketholders won’t be renewing between now & August unless something earth shattering happens behind the scenes.Ian, Mark, and DaveP debate all matters City Hosted on Acast.
