At times we were a little naive out there tonight and it caught us out on 2 of the goals, but you know what I was proud of our effort against probably the best club team in the world. The gap in quality was there for all to see and their usual percentage of the play was up to their normal standard but we had our moments, and a possible penalty shout in the first half went unpunished by Andre Marriner. It was great to see all the scarves waving to bring the boys home but it was not to be, and the only thing I craved was a Bristol City goal but again it was not to be tonight. Pep and Nige were having a good old hug at the end and their conversation and banter went on way beyond the final whistle so perhaps that means some loanees or something may come our way in the summer.

To sum up my thoughts after watching the game was that the final result was as per expected but I think we showed that despite being a mid-table squad from the Championship we can play the game, but at a different level than our masterful opponents. We should hold our heads high and know that we gave it our best shot against overwhelming power and class and played on the big stage without compromise which have definitely earned us some positive comments from the media. Taking the positives from tonight's match should help us in our league ambitions, and so we move on to the next game against Cardiff with heart and confidence after an exciting night at Ashton Gate. Thanks to all for a very good watch, and to hell with the result.
 
I thought Kalas had a good game, nice to see him back to nearing his best, if he can stay fit and accept reduced wages, I’d keep him, imo he’s our best central defender by some distance.
