    I hope they get it right in the summer mind I can’t bear for it to be the norm to celebrate mediocrity.

    Much better and great to see the fight and the teamwork. Some excellent play that should have been converted. Still, we looked really dangerous a few times.

    Much improved which was to be expected but a really decent performance that deserved three points. Not to get carried away with the opposition having little to play for but defo some positives and reminders there’s quality in the squad for next season. Clarke/Ekwah can share my motm.

    City were very lucky to come away with a point.
    Wind didn't help either side but guys, don't you have any litter bins ?
    Disgusting.

    If being the key word there. Fully expect a lazy performance from him v Leeds on Tuesday. So frustrating.

    Should have won it. Better watch but overall it was very dead rubber mid table nothingness.

    Yep. Lack of a centre forward really telling. Poor game overall.

    Have to say, quite enjoyed that after Monday's shambles. Good positive reaction from the team.

    A proper centre forward and we'd have been celebrating all three points.

    Aouchiche was lively but gave the ball away far too much. Rigg is wasted on the wing. Clarke and Alese both looking good.

    Good first half, poor second half and not a lot else to say. Alese was good, looked sharp and got stuck in.

    Don't call him that. It's triggering for some people.

    Did Bristol tweak their formation in the second half and stop us getting the ball to Clarke so easily? It looked like they put a player to screen in front of him.

    Are you sure? I thought O'Nien usually gets the blame for what happens on the pitch :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Look, Speakman did a job for the first week or two he was here but he appointed Dodds and Proctor but they have no experience as first class bin men and that's what happens when you give the job to youth team bin coaches.
