All I know is that we cannot afford to lose many more as we are being drawn into a relegation scrap.
I expect Williams and Wilson to start and us play with 5 at the back. Could be very wrong though!

01-05 mins Bacuna takes position on the edge of the half way line but is yet to touch the ball - he scowls in MM direction
06 Mins Diedhiou finds himself on the right side of Nelson who had lost his positioning to glance the Wurzels 1 up
32 Mins The ball is played though Flints legs by Wells who powers though to score with a low drive as Flint clambers to try to untie his legs
33-40 mins Cardiff press with at least 4 looped long throws by Vaulks into the Wurzel penalty area - All 4 are headed clear by the first defender as Kief looks on bemused
40 mins the busy Johnny Williams continues to hustle and bustle without getting near the ball
40-45 mins Sean Morrison looks to be Cardiff's best hope as he is 'strangely' being left alone to play 40 yard diagonal balls in the direction of Moore. None reach their target. Kief looks on bemused.
45+ minutes Bacuna has not touched the ball and scowls at MM
HT 2-0
With Micks words ringing in their ears Cardiff up the tempo
45-50 mins Ralls plays 2 lovely through balls into the corridor of space by the corner flags with Moore only 30 yards away. kief looks on bemused as vaulks tries to run in the support from his own penalty box
55-60 mins Vaulks tries another 3 looped long throws which as somehow cleared by the first defender every fecking time
61 mins Substitution as a hobbling Johnny Williams makes way for Ojo. Mick reveals after the game its an ankle injury that'll mean Johnny will miss the next few games and he's devastated for the lad as he's made a great impact in training.
70 mins Disaster for City as from a Wurzel corner swung in by Nagy, Flint jumps to power it clear but defying the laws of physics it somehow ricochets off his head into the other end of the goal. nobody could have seen that coming from the 6 foot five first name on the sheet and City find themselves 3 down
79 mins Bacuna is now on the right touchline but has still not touched the ball
80 mins Mick rings the changes and Wilson is brought on for Ng as Cty go to a back 4
83 mins The pressure from city pays off as a Wilson corner is swung in. Flint somehow falls over his own legs falls on top of Kief and the ball hits Morrisons arse and goes in. The delight of the city players is curtailed however as Big Kief fails to get up as Flint by breaking the laws of physics has somehow managed to land on the big City strikers knee. Disaster as a stretcher is brought on and it looks like its the end of the season for Moore
85 mins Ciaron Brown comes on for Big Kief as MM throws Flint up front and City look comfortable with 4 centre halves on the pitch
94 mins Bacuna receives the ball for the first time 40 yards from goal turns and hits a menacing shot that just goes the wrong side of the corner flag
Full Time 3-1
Mick is distraught for Johnny and Big Kieffer but despite the adversity says the team is improving each week. Wilson looked lively in his 10 mins and Flint put in a huge performance also that lad Brown looks like he can throw the ball so we'll be able to give Will a rest in that department. He comments that he's seen Aden play a few times at centre forward and its an option he'll seriously consider for the rest of the season

It won't make any difference. An opposing team struggling to get a side together, rookie 'keeper forced into action etc.... we are incapable of capitalising.

Match facts
Bristol City have lost three of their last four home league games against Cardiff City (W1), losing 1-0 last season.
Cardiff haven’t lost back-to-back league games against Bristol City since losing four in a row between 2001 and 2007 (excluding play-offs).
Bristol City are looking to win four consecutive home Championship matches for the first time since February 2019.
Cardiff are winless in their last seven Championship matches, their longest league run at this level since February 2015 (also seven without a win).
Cardiff striker Kieffer Moore has scored 10 goals in 22 Championship appearances this season, equalling his tally for last season when he scored 10 in 36 games for Wigan.

So it's 3/5 at the back again. Let's hope they have used the week well on the training pitch. Aden Flint for MOM is still on!

The Wurzels will score first. It's nailed on.
To be fair our squad looks crap now. I know Williams, Tomlin, Vassell are out injured. And Bennett, Bamba, Day, Holiett out of contract this summer. And we'll probably have to offload the high earners which will be Morrison, Pack, Ralls, Smithies and Bacuna. The bench looks so weak.
We may as well just have 6 new centre backs next season and pump balls up to Moore! If he isn't sold too?
Having said that we'll probably win today, after going 1-0 down off course.
Injury prone Williams injured then.

About time Bacuna was dropped. Though i am not happy about Bennett getting the nod over Bagan all the time. Come on city, time to get it together.

Bristol City (-1) goals, Bristol City to score in both halves and Over 4.5 goals in the match
50/1 - Getting on this,
On BBC the game is at the bottom of the fixture list out of order and it won't let you click on it.
Anyone know why?

Not very hopeful then?
Mind you I'm sh*tting myself. Must not lose game imo.
Absolutely no way we keep a clean sheet with this team. We're going to need to score 4.

Both. First time in a long time the midfield done their job and took the pressure off the defence.

Who knows?
They were shit though.
Excellent result, clean sheet.
Micks had a very solid start considering he took over a team who had lost 6 in the bounce. Now undefeated in 3.
Good, solid win.
Looked to press more than we have for some time when the opposition was in possession and took our chances well when we got them.
Looked solid enough and Bristol City never produced anything of note. A good 3 points and some encouraging signs after stopping the rot with the two draws.

Micks had a very solid start considering he took over a team who had lost 6 in the bounce. Now undefeated in 3.
Can not argue with that,it seemed that we had lots of attempts at goal :thumbup:
That’s more like it. I really did you think you would beat Brizzle who have been dire this year. Three games unbeaten under McCarthy. I fully expect you to move well clear of the bottom three in the next few weeks.
No Groundhog Day with that performance. Much better all round and could easily have been 3 nil. Indeed, it was an enjoyable watch for a change. Well done Mick on getting the players to do the basics.

As much as I'm not a fan of the appointment, Mick has started well. Good performance today, he's managed to make us look semi competent in a back 3 which is a formation we struggled with under Harris. Liking the look of Ng too

The fear factor is that the board may offer him a continued 2 year contract at the end of the season

06-02-21, 17:30
Only problem is let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Bristol should be a lot lower than they are, they’ve lost more games than both Birmingham and Sheffield Wed.
The games they’ve won they don’t look like they’ve deserved either.
Didn't get to see the game today but how did Philips look? Or did he not have much to do?

Carpe Diem
3 points
Get to safety and then worry about style
For a change we looked solid defensively, they barely had a worthwhile shot.
Efficient with our chances and saw the game out comfortably.
Closed down well.
A bit more composure at times and we could have got another, we are so guilty of just clearing the ball at times or punting it away first time when there is no need. In defence I don't mind it necessarily but in midfield when there is space its annoying.
Good win, we just needed to get a win again so well done.
Positives:
- Now picked up points in three games on the bounce and picked up maximum points today
- Another assist for both Wilson and Ojo. Both now on 6 assists and pushing up towards top of that table with 8 sitting at top of the tree (BBC stats)
- Moore with another goal. Only three players in the league have scored more than him so far and all of those are from top eight clubs (BBC again)
- A valuable clean sheet
- We're creeping up the table and MM has indicated that the higher we go, the more confidence we're playing with the more likely we're going to see the kids get a chance. The under 18's scored 5 today to follow the 4 the under 23's scored earlier this week.
Negatives:
- Concerns about what happened to Smithies
- Several teams behind us picked up good points as well: QPR, Coventry, Rotherham, Forest. It does seem that Wycombe and Birmingham are falling away though.
Other:
- We love playing midtable sides this year. If the league was just Boro in 7th down to Forest in 18th I'm pretty sure we'd top the pile. Maybe a challenge for Eric to confirm/correct this?

They burned all their subs, didn't they? I think I'd have kept him on, we absolutely had to win and if we hooked him and they immediately made it 2-1, it might have backfired.

Might be the best both he and Wilson have played for us today.
A great win, totally dominant from what I heard on Radio Wales.
If we'd lost we'd be 3 points from a relegation place!
Onwards and upwards to Rotherham and the hone to Coventry. I feel positive for the first time in weeks.

20 little jumps, with a bit of a twist and a fist pump over Patto's three funny celebrations a season :hehe:
Moore dominates centre backs, he's one of the best strikers at this level and I don't think there's any doubt. I think once Toney, Pukki and Joao go to the PL next season (with or without their clubs), I think you could argue he's the best striker in the division as whoever comes down won't have anyone as good as him.

His career trajectory is incredible. McCarthy signed him for Ipswich four years ago and he didn't score in 11 substitute appearances for them.

It is remarkable. He's 28 but he's quite young in football terms as he wasn't a pro until he was 21. His loan spell at Rotherham got him off and running, bit of a wobble at a poor Barnsley team and then he's just exploded. I think he's got 20 in his last 46 Championship games! Add 4 Wales goals for that, he's just getting better and better.

We’ve seen how well he does for Wales. A big player for Cardiff. Not sure you’ve played to his strengths this season though. I thought Wilson would have been the ideal player to supply the chances for him but it hasn’t quite worked out. Still think you’ve underachieved this season.

We just seem to lump it to Moore,get the ball wide pass to him when he is facing goal.
