I don't subscribe to that. 

Leicester cut us open many times and it was only their poor finishing that saw us win. 

We got lucky, fair play, but the chances Leicester had show there are still big problems.

It’s astonishing, isn’t it. He just shoved him over in the box. How is that not a foul? 

Like they said on commentary , anywhere else on the pitch that’s a free kick all day long

Pah - there are always what ifs in football. I'm sure they even themselves out in due course. Two home wins out of two, and with two clean sheets. Well done Liam and the boys

Credit where it’s due, a much improved performance overall, but Leicester and in particular Vardy threw that away. 

One thing is for sure, he’s definitely going nowhere now! 

Leicester did miss chances , but so did we , along with another day 3 possible pens

I enjoyed watching that, we looked so much better with James running the show in the middle controlling everyone else around him, 

Great to see us trying to break quickly forward was so good to see, 

Max was my MOTM he made some world class saves today

I'll counter this by saying, if Leicester would have scored some of their numerous one on one chances, is it a brilliant set up and game management etc? 

I'll counter this by saying we also had some very good chances as well. If you even it out, I would say that yes, the plan worked. We looked decent as well.

Not gloating but I have kept the faith (just), however I am delighted for Liam the abuse he gets , and I understand it's football and inevitable he get's stick but he must feel like a huge weight has been lifted. 

Lots of egg wiping and although we are not delivering per se it is hopefully a springboard, we are safe now and hopefully the team can put in a few more more performances to give us hope for next season.

I understand one swallow etc but it's a great great win.

Happy Easter fellow Reds you deserve this.🤩

To be fair Plymouth are very good at home and can give anyone a good game , Monday will not be easy but if we play forward with pase like today then we got a chance

So I see Mehmeti got MOTM. If only we could foresee when his next good game will be and we could drop him until then. The new Pato. 

In a 1-0 win does MOTM ever go to anyone other than the goalscorer? I'd have said most of the defence put in better all round performances.

Tried to follow the game but it was awkward.   Talksport were supposed to feature throughout but all they did was put updates on with no consistent commentary.     Kept looking in on this match day thread too but really wanted to listen to action to gain a proper understanding of what was going on over there.

Obviously we're pleased with the result but it would be unfair to just come on a rival fans message board to declare that.    From what I could learn as the game progressed Bristol City played well and in the end were value for the victory.     It seems the referee wasn't at his best but i'm just going from what I can learn from the comments made here as the game progressed.

What with this and the Southampton win a few weeks back it seems you have it within you to take on, challenge and even overcome the best sides in this division but it doesn't always go your way.    I don't think Leicester will make automatic promotion as they're simply too inconsistent now so that really leaves us, Leeds and Southampton to take the automatic promotion places.    Leicester I think just don't seem to have the nerve or stomach to see it through.

Well done on your victory.

12th place, 11 points from the playoffs and 11 points clear of the drop. 
you can’t get much more mid-table than that!!😆

Great performance, great result, all the players played well but Mehmeti and Max were outstanding imho. 
Well done Liam and the lads. A very Good Friday indeed in the R&W household.

Please please tell me we’ve learnt something today. I’ve always said we’ve got some really good players and that’s how to use them. 
 Well done everyone today, Mehmeti and O’Leary excellent. 

Yep, we got in their faces when it was appropriate to do so.  We actually played with purpose.

Really enjoyed. A 90-minute performance and errors were the only downside.

We finally managed to get the ball infield.

Jamo and Max joint motm, but very impressed with Roberts, really helps our composure on the ball.

I think it should have gone to Max today, his saves won us the game, a couple of them were really top class,

Manning is the problem too.  He’s out of his depth.

He is now using press conferences to try to show he’s working hard with all this stuff about the hours prepping for games.  It isn’t working.  Work smarter, not harder.  He should replace Krause as the coach-analyst, that’s where his passion is.

He is not a football manager regardless of his job title.  Not at this level.  He’s been found out.

OH!  For Godsake!, I never thought i would hear someone who i have respected for a considerable time, come up with the ultimate cop-out   of  "He is out of his depth"?  Really Davefevs, you are now resorting to cliche's?  My opinion of you has now plummeted to a level that i never thought possible?  Whatever happened to the cool logical analyst, who's opinion I valued?   Manning, just like Semenyo will come good, given time.....and I truly believe that.

That was the main negative today. Except near the end when we managed to keep it near their corner flag for 2 minutes, earning an impressive 876 throws (okay, it was about 5).

We won, yeah Leicester had more ball especially 2nd half but thought tactically we were pretty sound. Credit to the team and management.

Not sure how we didn't get at least one penalty first half either..thought we would either get hammered or put inn a strong and committed display- all or nothing. Fortunately it was the latter..

That was an enjoyable game. The 2 weeks off worked as we were much improved from the recent rubbish . 

James makes such a big difference to the side and he along with Roberts impressed . Max has my mom though , his save from Vardy was out of this world. 
 

leicester have got worse this season , gone from their game the speed and panache . They might be looking at the play offs now. 
 

The final bit of good news . Is that we have now replaced Southampton with Leicester in future club interview's.

Manning and Mehmeti are two people who are despised by so many on here - but just for today they can stick the proverbial single index figure back at those critics. 

Yet again you outdo yourself posting complete bollocks . Nobody despises anyone you clown. Many of us have quite rightly questioned mannings set up , tactics  & tactical decisions or lack of during games. Mehmeti has been poor generally since he signed . I’ve accused him of not being intelligent enough . Where please tell is there any evidence of them being despised.

I think he is.  Why is it a cop-out?

the view is based on my analysis.  Had he got his teams to play with this sort of endeavour and intent most weeks I wouldn’t have a problem.  He hasn’t though has he?

Good for you to feel the way you do.  Why have a pop at me for my view, it’s hardly just a 6 word cliche without any rationale.

What a strange post.

I think most of us probably expected us to win today. Because thats what we do under Manning. 

Today's result changes nothing. 

WHEN we can beat the teams that plays in a low block, then things will change.

What the Murun Buchstansangur happened there? Couldn’t see anything but a chastening defeat today. Yes, we were lucky Vardy apparently sold his shooting boots to pay Rebekahkahkah’s legal costs, but overall that was a very fine performance.

Mehmeti finally stops fannying about with Charles “Charlie” Charles dinks and puts his ****ing laces through the thing. Pick ee out the stingers, beeatches.

On our day, we can hold our own with anyone in this division, but you don’t need me to tell you it’s our day about it as often as it is Unlucky Alf’s from Fast Show.

I’ll take that all day long (Good Friday).

PS :laugh: at Vardy after his antics in September.

PPS Wankieat chant ever: “Just like Leicester, your city is blue.” How many teams are there in Leicester? One. Just like Bristol. 🔴⚪

Another plus today was again putting pressure on the Sky production team and their perhaps understandable love in with top sides.

As others have said, Max was superb. Unlike other GKs, when he pulls off a top class save he just gets up and re focusses, no running around the box, screaming at defenders and high fiving everyone.

Thought Vardy did ok, got it on target, just out done by Max.

Cliffnotes of the game were that we had a decent first half, and probably should have at at least 1 penalty, but also missed some good chances.

2nd half Leicester improved, Vardy missed a couple of sitters and we got one not entirely against the run of play, but against the majority of possession if that makes sense.

Overall we earned the win, but a draw wouldn't have been unfair.

What is strange about it?   I am astounded that you have jumped on the "Manning out" bandwagon....considering he has had one transfer window?  I have always respected your opinion, but on this occasion i cannot help but feel you are way off target.  It is not a 'Pop" but merely an observation, that in my opinion , instead of using logic and commonsense, you  are being swept along by the negativity that prevails on this forum.   I am confident that next season we will be in the top 6 under LM.  He is NOT going anywhere, so we better get used to it?

Why does he need windows? Was very happy with the squad when he arrived, stated it being so as a major draw to the job.

Strange one, i’m more then manning in then out camp as well but both sides are completely reasonable? 

Just because someone might not be imminently going doesn’t mean people can’t voice their opinions on them. Bit weird mate.

I had a feeling that the quickish start, think we had 3 shots in the first 15-20 mins augured well- not including the penalty shout.

Am glad it did as I sent news that we were on Sky to many neutral mates today.

Back on game, Conway was sharper than he has been recently I thought. Structurally we were quite good, espcislly first half. Max had that one real alarming moment but otherwise impressive.

Ross a bit unsung, looked sharper than of late when on, bar a shot when should have crossed.

I'd be giving it both barrels to McRorie if I was available for the cross/pass when he wacks it into the side netting. That's the 3rd? time in the last few games, very poor and unprofessional.

We must be your second team after beating Southampton despite their epic unbeaten run, and now Leicester 😁can’t see anyone catching you now, you’re certainly shoo-ins for top two.

You certainly are Luke.

 I've been a member on OTIB since we were last in the championship, popped in a few times previously, thought the robins were unlucky not to win at Hull earlier this season.

You have a decent set of fans on here.

Always enjoyed my visits to Ashton Gate.

Fingers crossed we are promoted automatically, I wouldn't fancy us in the play-offs, even though I believe we are the best team in the championship. Unfortunately, our fans shall have to get use to losing once again, as we'll be one of the bottom half teams in the Premier League.

I haven’t jumped on any bandwagon, quite comfy making my own opinions thank you very much.  Not being swept along at all.

Perhaps you might find it worthwhile reading why I reached the conclusion I have.

I suspect many on here think I’m wrong.

But do you know what?  It ain’t nothing to do with being right or wrong, it is about expressing an opinion / judgement based on my own methods and reasons.

Good for you in your view.  Do you notice that I didn’t resort to belittling your opinion.
