What a fantastic 3 points, first half we were terrible and very lucky to be going in at half-time level. But, what a change around second half it looked like a total different team.

Christie MOTM by far, great peformance from him. :claping hands:

Steady early days, got 11 home games left and IMO need to win a minimum of 8 and pick up 2 or 3 away games and a few draws. Will depend if Fisher is true to his word re. getting players in.

Bit premature to be thinking we're onto a great escape, but we can all live in hope.

Great result and performance by all, altho Hussey was pretty dire. Keough was oitstanding and id be surprised if better clubs werent looking at him as a January bargain

Luck changed perhaps?

BBC stats say we had 5 shots on target and Bristol 19!!

A really spirited performance. The substitution of Bigi at half-time and throwing 2 up front 2nd half made the difference. Bigi was all over the place 1st half unsettling the shape of the midfield. Other results went for us as well. A couple of decent loan signings in the window and who knows? Well done the team today.

I loved the idiots on the phone-in who claimed that by switching from the diamond we were better; no, we were much much much much worse. It was going back to the diamond-along with a superb double substitution at H.T.-that turned the game around. Brilliant stuff 2nd half. Can't decide on MOM, too many contenders; Murphy's best game since Leeds, Keogh outstanding as ever. But Deegan would shade it for his impact for me; clever off-the-ball movement, incisive first time passing, first man in Sky Blue to let the Bristol players know we can tackle, and another cracking finish. That's the Deegan from preseason and Blackpool I was raving about-where has he been?!?

Lost the phone in on Iplayer was just a one way conversation with loads of silence.
Sheefs said in his after match chat deegan tackled him the hardest he had ever been tackled and when he came on and started getting stuck into their players it gave the team a belief, He also said they have decided to roll their sleeves up and maybe time to stop with the fancy passing game or words to that effect, people have been asking them to roll their sleeves up for a while now:facepalm:.
Much needed 3 points though.
Oh and NLHWC be happy if we score eh.

Don't get too carried away, Bristol were really very not good. If there is any progress it will show in the West Ham away game in a weeks time, but don't hold your breath.

That's what's so great about today: We have hope.

Before, there was none.

Well i don't think we can get out of this mess as we won't be playing Bristol every game.

Hope is for SISU to feck off and new owners to come in.

Im not sure what the formation was today. I felt Sheffers should have been up alongside Juke, yet Juke spent more time out wide than he did down the centre. Sheffers did miss a sitter and tbf if he wants more chances as playing as a striker, he should atleast be testing the keeper with chances like that!! But I dont want to dwell of ifs or buts as we got the needed 3 points!

I thought we started 4 5 1 with Sheff on the right & Baker on the left & went back to the diamond later with Juke & Sheff up front, I really wasn't sure what Bigi was doing I saw him on the left, right & in the centre, whatever it was it did not work.

That's how I read it formation-wise, Jack. First half it really didn't work, we had no shape-and it was hard to tell what formation it was, but "a ragged and dishevelled 451" seems to be it. Nobody seemed to know their roles. Possibly the evidence that, actually, we are even worse with other formations?
