BBC Bristol commentators said towards the end: “We should be beating teams like Exeter”. Prime example of why I dislike them lot, think they are much bigger and better than they are.

Also he should know it’s now 8 years and 7 games since they beat “a team like Exeter”.

Think you're taking it too personally, they have a point this season, we've not been very good... nowt to do with size of club

Schools aren't what they were in my day!

From reading your posts on here, I assume you never went to school

Only watched on ifollow…It looked to be another fully committed give all performance from City in atrocious weather conditions that has been the hallmark of the recent upturn in points won……A fantastic and much needed three points very well done everyone

That said, a few teams above us have games in hand. Port Vale have 3(!) and have strengthened well. Will be a tight, nervy few months but it’s why we love City, right? As you said, I think we have a chance of surviving.

Conversely, even if the teams below us win all their games in hand we would not be in the relegation zone. It's amazing what a difference unexpectedly winning our game in hand has made to the table.

Cracking result, which serves the dual purpose of keeping us away from the drop zone and reeling in a whole host of clubs above us.
It’s going to be interesting to see how those teams who may have wallowed in a faux mid table security for the last couple of months react to relegation being a real threat now with circa 20 games to go.
We on the other hand after a nightmare run are crucially picking up points of late, which although it ain’t pretty at times gives us impetus at a time when other teams are maybe beginning to panic and struggle.
UTC!!

NB. I’d kill for a point at Oakwell.
