    I think the side are fitter than they were last year - interesting that Cotts wants them fitter and need to match Orient's energy

    I would imagine that SC is referring to the fitness levels that come only with match practice so by end of August, he should be comfortable about the squad's fitness.

    SC: "It's positive; two wins and a draw. We move on to the next one."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 53m
    SC: "We tried to win it. The pressure was on right up until the final whistle."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 53m
    SC: "It was a tough game and it should have been a 1-0 win for us. We'd have lost that last season."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 53m
    SC: "We knew it would be a tight game. We passed under pressure and we need to relax a bit."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 54m
    SC: "You can't speak to the referees so I don't know his reasoning. It's an embarrassing decision. Some you get, some you don't."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 55m
    SC: "It's a goal. The keeper made a mistake. I've watched it back. It should be a 1-0 win."

    SC: "The unbeaten run goes on. This was a tricky game and we had to match their running and effort."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "I felt the officials were picky and that was for both sides."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "When we control a game, we look a dominant force. We just needed more luck and craft in the final third."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "I said to Luke I fancied him for a goal today and it was a good finish. It's a shame we had to make the change there."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "We're slightly disappointed but if I take my Bristol City hat off then I probably say it's a fair result."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "I didn't make further changes because my two strikers were fantastic today."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "Overall the lads gave their all. Rochdale will cause teams problems here and they were on a high."

    Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1h
    SC: "We're disappointed because we've given away a soft goal really."

    That is a fair assessment from SC.
    If we are to become runaway leaders of the pack, it is the sort of game we should be winning. But 8 from 4 is "so far so good". This squad will only get better the longer they are together.
