City proved the doomsayers wrong as they emerged from Watford with a well deserved point.

When the Hornets scored after 6 minutes a heavy defeat was on the cards in the eyes of most City fans but the players responded to a man and a Twine free kick special was enough to send the fans back down the M4 in a happy mood.

Time for a well earned break before an even more testing sequence of fixtures.

DaveP is joined by Ant Banks & Dave Tovey in assessing a disappointing display against Blackburn.

The excuses are there re. injuries & tiredness but at what point do you question team selection & tactics?

A day to forget for City who were 3 down inside 25 minutes, one of the goals being down to a howler from Vitek !

No one on their A-game and the injury crisis deepens with Atkinson suffering a hamstring pull.

DaveP is joined by Neil Sutton plus Mark & Dave Tovey in reviewing a game which saw City win three-in-a-row for the first time in nearly 2 years. It confirmed their best start to a season since 2020/21.

Not only did Armstrong score with the type of goal that could become his trademark but his all round contribution built upon the marked improvement shown in recent matches.

It was a defensive masterclass as City kept a clean sheet, their 5th this season. The goal was under siege for virtually all of the second half although Vitek did not have to make any saves of note

City moved into 4th position with this well crafted victory against the Saints who had dominated the opening half hour and were deservedly ahead. Mehmeti's equaliser was well timed and, again, Vitek produced fine saves at crucial moments in the game.

City piled on more misery for former manager Liam Manning as a Mark Sykes goal gave them victory at Carrow Road.

Vitec pulled off some fine saves but overall this was a game that City controlled for long periods and the margin of victory could have been wider.

A good start to the season has become just an OK as defeat against QPR means City only added another 5 points from the 5 games between the two international breaks.

A half time advantage was allowed to slip in the second period and the referee played his part by missing a clear push on McCrorie by Smyth as he headed in for the winner and then in the dying seconds a two handed push in the QPR box on Borges which, unless you're us, would normally see a spot kick given even though it wasn't denying a goalscoring opportunity.

DaveP debates the action with Paul Hunt & Dave Tovey as well as assessing City's chances in a tough run after the break with little hope of having any of the injured first teamers back and ready for action.

Although City didn't win, yet again the fans were treated to an exciting game of football where both sides went at it full pelt for the entire 90 minutes.

Any concerns about being without Jason Knight were quashed as Zak Vyner moved to a midfield role and showed that might be where he plays in the latter part of this season if the fitness of McNally, Dickie & Atkinson is assured. Randell showed once again what a fine acquisition he has been.

The only blip on the night was an atrocious refereeing performance from John Busby.

DaveP discusses a broadly entertaining for a 0-0 encounter a Deepdale with Neil Sutton & Dave Tovey.

The trio rue missed opportunities by Anis Mehmeti and the impact of losing Knight for an unspecified time due to injury.

Nice sunny day, big crowd on "family day", a chance to go 2nd in the table and make it the best start to a season at this level since 1971, all the ingredients for City to do what they always seem to do in these situations and cock it up!!

Oxford were at City from the off and with too many of our players not on their A game their win, in all honesty, was never in doubt.

City wrapped his game up well before half time with a 3-goal burst against the troubled Owls.

The defence was rarely troubled and City cruised through the second 45 minutes without mishap.

This was the perfect start to the 5 game sequence leading up to the next international break.

On a rainswept Ashton Gate City and Hull put on a show of attacking football that if repeated every week would only add more to the decent crowds the game enjoys as a whole across the UK.

City won 4-2 but the scoreline could easily have been 7-4 as Riis grabbed his first two goals for City and Vitec produced a save on a par with Gordon Banks memorable stop from a Pele header in the 1970 World.

There were top performances all over the pitch and from the bench too as City go into the first international break unbeaten in the league after 4 games.

DaveP discusses the action with Dave Fevs & Mark Tovey as well as what may or may not happen as the transfer window draws to close.

City were as good as out of this cup tie as early as the 20th minute when they found themselves 2-0 to the Londoners.

They made more of a game if it in the second half but you had he feeling that the home side could have upped the tempo at will and increased their lead had they wanted to.

A mixed bag performance: outmuscled early on, took a deserved lead, sat on it as well as missing some good chances, conceded a late equaliser then almost snatched back the points with a Twine free kick special.

Derby were poor but after Riis went off injured and Randell was again taken off with 20 minutes remaining any impetus had been lost.

So typically Bristol City in front of a sun drenched capacity crowd to put in a stuttering performance after last week's opening game success.

It was a game of two halves with the visitors stronger in the second period, indeed if they had taken all three points it would not have been an injustice.

Struber made five changes from the side that started at Bramall Lane but that did not weaken City who booked their passage to the 2nd Round with relative ease.

City humiliated the Blades at Bramall Lane as they secured an emphatic 4-1 win that when some way to avenging their play off exit.

Twine looked the £4M player we thought we had signed with a brace and an assist whilst McCrorie scored another with Mehmeti on target as well.

Vitek was immense in goal and the travelling fans will be looking for this type of away display after many disappointing shows on thew road last term.

DaveP is joined by Neil Sutton, Dave Tovey & content creator Tom [Robins Nest] in discussing City's emphatic win against Spanish opponents and rounded off the preseason sequence of games without a goal being conceded.

A brace from McCrorie, another from Riis and a first from Adam Randell plus a penalty save from debut keeper Vitek - what was there not to like!
