    With Twine’s deliveries, we just need a Paul Cheesley in the box and we will be scoring goals for fun!

    Happy with a point
    Good to see Twine open his account
    Looking at the table it’s a shame we lost at home to Birmingham, Stoke and Millwall !

    As good a debut as you could expect from Twine -
    MOM for me-I thought he played the 10 role really well-scored a goal on his debut and made a massive difference for us up front -we looked far more dangerous his corners and free kicks were taken very well.
    Will get better as he has more games think we have a real gem here.
    Get that 9 in and I believe something could defiantly happen playoffs wise.
    Thought we were unlucky not to take the three points come the end.

    100% agree with you Dickie had two fantastic saves made by their keeper.

    … and Preston too for me. All clubs on a dismal run of form and yet they managed to beat us.

    Agree with all of you that think that way but, isn’t that what happens in the Championship?

    I meant the home matches in particular but yes, PNE away was also a very poor performance

    It's always different when you watch live. Sat in my armchair I thought we did OK against a decent side.
    Spoke to 2 City fans watching my grandson this morning and both were more than disappointed we didn't win.
    One was right jarred off.

    RR and Rod.
    Know you always watch live, did you feel at all similar ?

    we have a history of not doing well against teams at the bottom / lower than us by at least 5 /6 points

    First half thought they were slightly better-second half we were the better side.
    Fantastic saves by Hamer.
    A fair result but if a side was to win it was us..

    18 GAMES TO GO ..................
    Teams 8 / 9 involved above us and
    6 points to be in top 6 but 6pts below it would take us down to 21st!
    there is only 2 spots we are capable of getting thats 6th currently 43 pts & 5th 45pts .

    our goal [ ie target points are to defeat teams above us, or at least draw!............ and beat the teams currently below us ] ......

    BCFC need to beat or draw ....... WBA .. Coventry .. Norwich .. Sunderland .. Middsbro .. Cardiff

    need to beat ........ Plymouth .. Swansea .. Blackburn .. Stoke ... all teams within 6/7 points

    Still have to play the current top 4 so 4 pts would be handy! and have to play bottom 4 so 12 points would be imperative!

    9 teams above us who do they play amongst themselves? ...

    WBA ................... Home toWatford : Sunderland :pNE : Coventry: .... & Away to Cardiff : Hull
    Coventry ............. Home to....................................... PNE : Hull : ............ & Away to Cardiff : Watford : Norwich :
    Hull ................... Home to Middsbro ........................................................&Away to Cardiff : Watford : PNE :
    Norwich ............ Home to Watford : Sunderland : Cardiff : : ........... & Away to ............................. PNE : Middsbro
    Watford ............ Home to ................. Sunderland : PNE : Cardiff.........& Away to ............................................ Middsbro

    Middsbro v Sunderland : Cardiff v Sunderland :
    PNE v Middsbro Middsbro v Cardiff
    Cardiff v PNE
    is the rest

    WBA ........... play in 6....
    Coventry ... play in 6
    Hull .......... play in 6
    Norwich ..... play in 6
    Watford ...... play in 8
    Sunderland ... play in 5
    Middsbro .... play in 6
    P N E .......... play in 7
    BCFC ........... play in 6
    Cardiff ......... play in 8
    a good little mixture...
    Watford is the key should they win 4 and lose 4 we have to win 5 to be on same points!
    Coventry if they were to win 3 lose 3 we need to win 5 to be on same points!
    SO ... EVEN AT THIS EARLY STAGE it is very unlikely we can manage top 6!

    Didn’t go yesterday as granddaughter had a party to attend. And would have been me on my own if I went. I went out in the morning and thought this is cold so watched a stream in the warm.
    Going on my own never bothered me previously, but starting to feel the cold a lot more now.

    If you're asking me.....

    Since his cock up at West Ham he's definitely starting further up/out......hence his assist for TC's goal in the replay and another cock up at PNE.
    Does have the odd good save.
    Distribution by feet gets worse.
    He fits JL's ambition for Bristol City.
