    Thought we ran it in the first half and deserved the equaliser to go in at half time.. both sides looked decent.. second half Norwich had the edge but should have been a man down.. in the end 2.2 was fair and we have improved.. we look much better against better opposition..

    That was a cracking game tonight,Norwich by far the best passing side to grace Ashton Gate this season.
    Played our best game at the gate this season.
    Great game to watch.
    Every player performed well.

    A very good game, chalk and cheese to last week vs Brum.
    Agree we dropped to deep in the last 15 mins and invited a bit too much pressure, perhaps a sign of fragile confidence?
    We always look more of a threat when O’Dowda plays.

    Back to the form he was showing before his injury , at this level he’s unstoppable when on this form, if he can produce this form on a regular basis he will go far.
    It wasn’t just him today though they all seemed much brighter than of late , it does beggar the question why can’t they perform at this level more often.

    Exactly it was like watching a different team tonight.
    Strange what changes happen on a weekly basis.
    The was a fantastic performance tonight.

    Steady on there Ashton Red, if you go praising an LJ signing, you'll incur the rath of Redprintt........

    Weimann did extraordinarily well for our first goal.

    Their equaliser for 2-2 was disappointing with 2 City players close to the back post when the cross came in.

    Really good performance by the Robins last night, I was impressed and more than a little worried throughout the game.

    In particular I was impressed by O'Dowda. You have a little gem there <cheers>

    I did how fortunes have turned I’m amazed how the last four games have gone.Going to Derby Saturday that will be another hard test.
    Long may it continue.
    Two top signings in January that is all we need.

    Never going to happen , especially in January, the best we can hope for are loans and they can upset the balance of the squad if you aren’t careful, last year was a perfect example. Clubs don’t want to let their best players leave without the ability to replace them which in turn inflates prices , last year was crying out for a large investment to try to push us to promotion, we didn’t do it then there’s now way we’ll do it now. Better we keep any money for summer signings.

    Supcon - check out homophone.

    Anyway I watched the first half but preferred Strictly from 6-30pm.
    So pleased for Kevin Clifton.

    True City fan then? There was lots of close ups of LJ you could have enjoyed! <laugh> Could have recorded Strictly like I did, anyway Ashley was by far the best dancer, but the public didn't like her!!!<party>Was probably related to LJ!!!

    Not anymore 1For and yes, I can't believe I find Strictly more interesting but nevertheless it's true.

    I want City to lose these days.
    How's it come to this ?

    If you, in particular, want me to stop commenting as I'm no longer Red then I'll finish immediately.

    A new striker and a 'proper' CM and we'd be there or thereabouts a 'complete' side in some respects.

    I'll be interested to see what we do in January. We know now from the financial results that with FFP we were unable to spend properly last year, hence the loans. That shouldn't apply this time around.
