    Come on City let's show up with our best game today and make all the heartache go away. Seriously though Middlesbrough will be a stern test and it will be interesting to see our shape and how, if possible, Liam has had an influence in training.

    Sliced apart but thanks to an offside we stay level.

    Lack of options was a term used by the commentators, but isn't it the domain of the players to create and use options? When you look at the openings made by Middlesbrough they are way ahead of us in that department and that is solely why they have created more potential to score. City are still lacking in quality going forward and staying on that subject why do we continue going backwards? I should shut up because as I was writing my criticism we score a stunning goal to go ahead which begs the question as to why we don't have the confidence to score those kind of goals? The Gate has come alive and you need to cheer them on for the rest of the half and towards the full time whistle.

    I'll take a penalty though. I'll take another goal all day - 2-0 to City.

    It comes down to team tactics, and player coaching.

    Well let’s just say we have played a lot better and lost. How we are winning 2-0 <laugh>
    I will take it though that first half was shocking football.
    South stand was not happy never heard the whole stand shout forward forward.
    Hope this ain’t a sign of things to come played backwards more than going forwards.

    I was eagerly awaiting this game because of the change of the coaching team and after about 25-30 minutes I thought it was deja-vu all over again. The first goal was a cracker and then a rare penalty gave us a 2-0 lead and we looked hungrier than I have seen us for quite some time however a lot of the old Bristol City still appeared far too regularly for me. Confidence is always a key factor in success and if Liam can re-install that necessary part of our game then it will help us in all areas of the pitch to hopefully stay at the top end of the division. I found it interesting to see who wasn't in the starting eleven and it could be more interesting in the second half if and when we need to make substitutions because I did sometimes question Nigel's choices. Come on City let's show em.

    if your happy with that football fine-let’s just say apart from a corker by TGH and a penalty we have been piss poor.
    Looks a side down on confidence and ideas

    Maybe, probably down to poor management this season so far. LM can only work with what he was left by your hero….
    Under Nige, I’ve gotten used to this level of performance, it just didn’t often come with 2 first half goals, so yes, I’ll take it for now!
