    Would you have believed what happened if you hadn't watched the game because in my books one of the best games I have seen from Bristol City and to get Hayden's goal in the 96th minute just put icing on the cake. I thought our entire first half was payed at pace and we ruled the roost and when Nakhi got the desperate goal we so needed I thought we would end up on a win but a stupid mistake at the back conceded a goal that should never have happened and it's normally our route to our usual capitulation - but not today Pancho. Late on in regular time they had a player supposedly down injured and the ref (quite rightly) allowed us to play on so a WBA player decides he will make a foul tackle to stop the play and waste time but unfortunately that tackle was a straight red card for dangerous play. From that point we could see an opportunity to get back in front and only bloody mindedness got us all 3 points in a season that still awaits our final table position. The comeback today was absolutely priceless and if we can eliminate some of the stupid hurdles that we sometimes struggle to get over I think we can get better hopefully just in time for whatever comes down our street. Fabulous performance tonight and I have rarely heard the library in full voice and what magic it was hearing it from the other side of the world. :1980_boogie_down::emoticon-0137-clapp<bubbly><whistle><ok><somersault><sorry>

    they seem to be gelling quite well ... say no more .. !!! other than the massive cock up and lacking a penalty [ didnt think we had a chance of one tonight ] its a sort of what goes round comes round.............
    with over 94+ minutes on the clock and a corner... cancels out the same as happened to us, cancels out the SHEFF UTD? game back before Christmas!

    Millwall ...least likely to get top 6 of 8 teams vying for it with 12 to go on our heels now ........... this weekend could be a killer one! best result for us is Middsbro draw! with Millwall!

    Coventry have Home to Portsmouth and Away to Hull
    WBA [ lost a key player .. trying to make a point? ] are home to Watford

    then it is rat a tat tat EASTER WEEKEND .. MY LAST TILL AFTER SEASONS END!

    Amazing win, we seem to have hit form at just the right time despite the fiasco of their goal which could have been costly !

    Well done all concerned, brilliant !

    If we can keep our heads for another couple of games we could cement our place in the playoffs

    O'leary makes 2 saves, 1 for the cameras and the other straight at him the commentator says 'great save' - ridiculous.
    Their goal is solely down to him.
    Either he stays on his line... ....Or.......
    He comes, screaming my ball and takes the lot.
    What did he do......halfway house with zero authority and, for the umpteenth time worried about getting hurt.....just created the confusion for their tap in.

    Oh, and I heard our winning goal in Devon.

    I think Pring was at fault, if Max was shouting, why didn’t he get out of the way. The defender should always get out of the keepers way. Fortunately it didn’t cost us last night, but it did take the wind out of our sails for 20 mins, and met them have a sniff.

    Either way, it was totally avoidable. And it could have been VERY costly

    Great win. It’s especially nice to get the stoppage time winner instead of conceding for a change.
    Well done Liam, Chris and the lads.

    I agree, also if he’s unsure and decides to take matters into his own hands he has to clear the danger, head it for a corner or whatever, not head it where the attacker has a tap in. Prings fault all day.

    Either way as Pring decided to take responsibility he had to clear the danger, not just head where the attacker has a tap in. Pring should of A left it for Max, or B cleared the danger, he did neither, his fault all day long

    The ball bounces into the box, the box only O'leary was occupying and O'leary does not get to the ball. If he is on the edge of the box he collects the dolly of a catch.

    Nice to see three defenders combine to unlock the WBA defence for the winner:emoticon-0116-evilg:emoticon-0116-evilg
