Bristol City back on top with 5 games to go!
After being cruely denied last week against Baaaadiff Stevie Brooker finally gets his goal, a last-gasp strike against Norwich sending City back up top with a handful of games to go. We've never won many games comfortably this season but somehow we've got the results we needed, and boy did we need this one! Fully in command in the first half (with Adebola furthering his goal count), fully out of gas in the second.
Andy D'Useless was absolutely attrocious as referee today, giving Norwich 90% of the decisions, one of the worst for a throw-in presented the Canaries the opportunity to level things after 70 minutes. We made damn hard work of counter-attacking until REALLY, REALLY late on when Brooks latched onto the ball after a few crazy hits in the box. The sheer roar of relief was immense!
There aren't (m)any easy games left, and next up are Southampton- we beat them convincingly at the Gate last autumn and they're in an even worse spot now. If we can win that one and do well against Wolves at home the following week it'll be a ton of momentum to take to Stoke in a few weeks. That's going to be HUGE.

Re: Bristol City back on top with 5 games to go!
Your right... it'll be a huge match tonight. Problem with BC is their run in... only 2 home games left.. and they are against Wolves & Preston (the former promotion chasers themselves)... then is Stoke, Sheffied Utd and todays Southampton game away. I'm rooting for BC but its going to be tough. Good luck!

Re: Bristol City back on top with 5 games to go!
How can they be tops with goal differential of zero? An amazing close to the Championship season!.

How is Nicky Carle going over there? We've heard some good things about his performances- can some one give me an update! Cheers.

Re: Bristol City back on top with 5 games to go!
Good win by Bristol today over Crystal Palace. 2 more wins to the premiership, sounds easy enough!
Nick Carle had a good game today, set up both goals for Bristol. Played pretty deep though, hopefully they play him further up the park in the return leg.

Re: Bristol City back on top with 5 games to go!
Beautiful goals today! Deserved win Crystal Palace looked toothless for some reason or another. I really want to see a Bristol City vs. Hull playoff final.
congrats!

Re: Bristol City back on top with 5 games to go!
Increadible goal by Noble!
Do they use the away-goal tiebreaker after 180 minutes in the playoffs?

Apparently away goals don't count for anymore in the playoffs.
