    Another tough game and one we need to win really to have a chance of automatic promotion. We'll be without Bryant who picked up a hamstring I think last Saturday but adequately replaced by Christie if he plays as well as he did last week.

    I'm taking the trip for this early kickoff. I think it's a celebration day for Bristol City, 125 year anniversary I think so lets hope we can be party poopers. Spirits should be high. I've always witnessed a positive result on my previous travels there and I think we'll give this a good go. I'm quietly confident but they are going to give us a good run for our money. Once again, first goal will be crucial.

    Avoid defeat here and it pretty much guarantees a play off place if we can do that I would love for Parker to take the shackles off and just go for it.

    Seeing Harrison Reed back in training is good news

    3 points in the early game would put a hell of a lot of pressure on Leeds and West Brom

    As I type this Forest are 3-0 down at home to Millwall

    A win would be good today, especially after Forest slipped up

    I'm still on my travels but see we got a late equalizer to get a draw. Fingers crossed Leeds and WBA slip up.
    Any insights into our performance would be appreciated.

    We played well against a good team but we should have won it. Lots of possession across their penalty area but I'd have liked us to be a bit more ruthless and take a few shots or run into their penalty area. Bit frustrating we didn't win but the team played well and you and there is good spirit in the team.

    Not sure why Cairney (who was very good today) was always on the right. He's so left footed it seems crazy. He got into some superb positions but his right footed shots were weak. Another strange thing for me was the sub of Johanson 3 mins into injury time. I get it if we are trying to run down the clock but when we are seeking the winner - very odd.

    Good game overall. Still a few twists and turns to come.

    Generally a good point but given we have to catch up we need to win games like that!

    Leeds are up they have a 7 point gap and a very easy run in... WBA on the other hand could be caught 6 points ahead of us but a win when we play them means it’s only a 3 point gap and they have some tough fixtures as well.

    we are now 9 points clear of 7th with only 9 games to go I would like Parker to go very attacking from here in and see where it takes us

    I have now seen the match and there goal was definitely offside for me... there striker Dehidou?? Comes from 3 yards offside to challenge Ream in the air causing Ream to head it back into danger... I know he doesn’t actually touch the ball but without his challenge Ream clears that quite easily... not sure on the exact rules but surely having a major impact on the play is interfering???
