Fantastic result to stop the “rot” and great day results wise for our automatic hopes

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Rushworth save was immense

 

[procdoc]

A wins a win but that was awful.

It wasn’t awful. We did just about enough

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Ugly 1-0 win. Couldn't give a shit.

Take the three points and let's carry this on.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Great game of football , scrappy win , take it all day

 

[Jamesimus]

Big win. Deserved, but we made it far too difficult in the end, as is the way!

We suit teams that come and have a bit of a go at us more than teams playing in the way Bristol played in the 1st half.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Bloody hell, that was not good for the blood pressure! Felt inevitable we were going to end up throwing three points away there for a while. Not at all comfortable.

Can we go back to the team that was scoring for fun please? I liked that team!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

3 points is all that matters but that was not an easy watch.

 

[Evo1883]

By the way for people getting annoyed and" bedwetting "

I get it , you want this so bad and you want us to get promotion , keep the faith PUSB

 

[Shannerz]

Huge, much needed win.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Have to start Simms next game. Wright sucks.

 

[Sick Boy]

Rushworth was immense and goes to show why it's so important to have a proper keeper,

 

[MikeyMoo]

Bristol ended up with a higher xG. CCFC 61.5% possession, 21 shots, only 4 on target...

 

[bukayosakamoto]

Have to start Simms next game. Wright sucks.

What game were you watching mate

 

[clint van damme]

Fucking massive win.
Win next week and I'm stocking up on Lambrini

 

[Perennial Lurker]

A wins a win but that was awful.

It really wasnt

 

[EalingSB]

If it was two points dropped on Tuesday, then that was two gained thanks to that brilliant save from Rushworth.

That was tense but the team showed great resolve to hold on - definitely the type of ugly win that's needed in a promotion push.

The clean sheet is very welcome as were the likes of Rudoni and Wright getting more minutes in their legs which will hopefully speed up their respective returns to form.

Top, 12 points clear of third and the league's top scorers - loads to be excited about going into the busy Christmas period and subsequent transfer window.

 

[TomRad85]

3 points, the clean sheet everyone was wanking for, 12 clear of third, 3 points further ahead of Ipshit and Southwankton.
A good days work.

 

[Otis]

I thought we said it doesn't matter how scrappy it was, we just wanted the three points?

Fabulous result for us and now 12 points clear of third.

Brilliant set of results for us today on the whole

Well done, City!! It takes all sorts of performances to gain promotion.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

A good result,but we made hard work of it.

 

[Evo1883]

A wins a win but that was awful.

We will be below our best many times from now until may .. we pulled through that today and thats what promotion teams do

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Bristol ended up with a higher xG. CCFC 61.5% possession, 21 shots, only 4 on target...

And we ended up with 3 points , What's your point?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think most said they’d be happy if we got to 50 before new year. 3 needed and we’ve made it then can push on in the window. Each win like that is 1 step closer

 

[RoysterE17]

3 points again ole ole oleeee! That's all we needed back on the wagon!! 12 points clear again of 3rd that's all we need to watch!!

 

[Evo1883]

Have to start Simms next game. Wright sucks.

Played alright tbh and got the assist

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Rushworth to thank for that.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Pros:
- Three points
- 12 points clear of 3rd
- EMC's strong form continues
- Rushworth incredible saves kept us in it

Cons:
- Rudoni actively hurting our attacks
- Sakamoto struggles again
- Looked so shaky at the back when they decided to attack
- Wright poor in front of goal

12 points clear of 3rd

 

[Jamesimus]

12 points clear of 3rd is all I care about

 

[baldy]

The BBC Final Score programme is painful to watch at the best of times with their horrible banter but they've done my head in today talking about City not winning in a massive 2 games & saying they were wobbling
Morons

 

[SIR ERNIE]

As good as 13 points clear of 3rd with our goal difference.

 

[netheredger]

3 points, the clean sheet everyone was wanking for, 12 clear of third, 3 points further ahead of Ipshit and Southwankton.
A good days work.

The only team in the division to keep a clean sheet today as well!

 

[usskyblue]

5 clear of Boro
12 clear of 3rd
Better goal difference

 

[Tommo1993]

Struggled over the line but it still counts. We look nervous though.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Massive 3 points
Rushworth is some keeper
Saka kept doing well
