Forever Bristol City Podcast

4 points from two away games in the space of 4 days is good whoever the opposition but City were disappointed to come away from St. Andrews with just a point in a boring game against a side that looked a pale shadow of the one which won at Ashton Gate in August. One thing we did learn is that Anis Mehmeti is no header of the ball after a couple of missed chances escaped that part of his anatomy. T...

DaveP is joined by Dave Fevs, Ian Gay & Mark Tovey in discussing an emphatic Boxing Day victory at Vicarage Road. A superb all round team performance as City controlled the game for most of the time. We also try to make sense  and draw some conclusions from a review of the club's 22/23 accounts which showed a £22M loss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Back to back wins for the first time since February, City sent truculent former player, and now Hull manager, back up north with his tail between his leg as they fought back from 2-1 down to claim victory. Penalties are like buses these days, none for ages then 3 come along at once. Conway sent the keeper the wrong way for the second time in a week but his outfield play is giving some cause for co...

DaveP is joined by Ian, Mark & Neil in assessing a hard earned victory against Top 6 opponents. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DaveP hosts a review of the game with Dave Fevs, Ian Gay & Mark Tovey. Is our new boss trying to change too much too soon?   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ian & Dave P discuss a game in which had City's players made better decisions in the final third of the pitch they would surely have come home with all three points. There is a change in how we play as once again on possession City were on c60% and although the home keeper had little to do there were 14 shots on target! The goal conceded was again due to careless play on the ball but it will b...

DaveP is joined by Ian, Mark & Neil in reviewing Sunday's lunchtime fixture which ended in defeat despite going in at half-time 1-0 up. The 2nd half was poor with two sloppy goals conceded in a generally poor and disjointed showing.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dave P, Ian, & DaveFevs discuss the match action which saw a fine first half display go unrewarded as City fell to their first defeat under Liam Manning. Conway had a header that he couldn't direct effectively and then for the second time in 5 days failed in a one-on-one against a keeper with Southampton's Bazunu also producing a smart save to keep out a Sykes header. City were poor in the 2nd...

Ian, Neil & DaveP discuss an eventful game at Ashton Gate against Michael Carrick’s in form Boro   After a slow start City went in at half time 2-0 ahead thanks to an absolute stunner from TGH and a coolly slotted home penalty by Tommy Conway who had fluffed a one-on-one opportunity only minutes before.   But with barely 10 minutes gone in the 2nd half that lead had been surrendered and anothe...

Liam Manning's first game in charge saw a point gained in West London but it was a dire affair. Ian, Mark and DaveP discuss the match action and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DaveP is joined by Chris Honor, Mark, Neil & Ian as they discuss all matters surrounding the appointment of new Head Coach, Liam Manning Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DaveP is joined by Ian, Mark & Lez in a review of Saturday's win over lowly Wednesday as well as speculating on who's next for the Ashton Gate managerial, or should we say Head Coach, hot seat Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ian & DaveP with contributions from Neil Sutton & Chris Honor discuss the surprise sacking of Nigel Pearson on Sunday lunchtime. Why now and who next are amongst the topics discussed Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This result made it five defeats in the last 7 games and whilst that is not a good statistic, when you look at the extent of the injury crisis many feared it could have been a lot worse. Ian, Mark & DaveP analyse the match action and take some positives but it is very difficult and to be quite honest we feel a real sense of disillusionment about how things are on & off the field. The HPC m...

A spirited performance but defeat against a newly promoted Ipswich who, on current form, look like they’ll sail past City into the promised land! Max O’Leary appears to be the villain of the piece for failing to deal with Broadhead’s well struck shot that was the difference between the sides. Fans should cut him some slack in my opinion with his acrobatic save just before the goal and another one-...

Nigel Pearson is not a man to mince his words and clearly his post-match comments to the media suggests if there was just a hint of a rift before between him and our owner it appears to be right out there now! City's shambolic opening half hour did not give the Sky Blues the 2-3 goal advantage they might have expected on another day and most fans in the ground were shocked to see Rob Dickie's head...

If there is some comfort in defeat it is that many Leeds fans felt we were the best side to visit Elland Road this season on the basis that at least we attempted to play football rather then shut up shop. Ian, Mark & DaveP discuss the match action which sees City go into the 2nd international break on the back of 3 defeats in the last 4 which could well have been worse were it not for Conway's...

Tommy Conway’s first goal in particular would not have looked out of place amongst those at St James Park where Newcastle stunned PSG last night. His second goal wasn’t too shabby either! Dave P & Ian are joined by Chris Honor reviewing a match remembered only for another 3 points gained on the road after what was at times a shocking performance across the field and that included as usual some...

At 2-0 up after 15 minutes another convincing home win looked on the cards but it didn't turn out like that as City surrendered that lead to lose 2-3. Ian, Neil & DaveP dissect the match action. There's some criticism of Naismith as a defender and general bafflement at Nige's quadruple substitution barely 10 minutes into the 2nd half. We pose the question: would most City fans be happy to acce...

Kal Naismith timed an 18-yard area tackle to perfection vs. WBA last Saturday but he had no such luck as he went to ground and brought Ndidi down for a penalty which proved to be the only goal in a close fought encounter. City were rocked pre match by the surprise news that Vyner was unfit to play and Pearson’s post-match comments suggest a lengthy lay off if it’s an ACL problem. The only disappoi...

There were goals a plenty at Ashton Gate as City convincingly beat west country rivals Argyle to secure their first home league win in emphatic style. Racing to a 2 goal lead inside the first 10 minutes the result was never in doubt once that margin had been restored to snuff out any hope of a Plymouth revival, City going in 3-1 ahead at half time. It was a great team performance savoured by DaveP...

Arguably one of the best opening 45 minutes to a game since Nigel Pearson took charge but City were unable to convert superiority into goals and may even have gone in behind at the interval were it not for Vyner's superb tackle on Asante. More WBA in 2nd 45 but would it have been fair on the visitors had Cornick's effort had gone in - a bad miss or a good save. Ian & DaveP dissect the match ac...

A game much like Hull last week where City dominated despite going a goal behind but this time they won. Mark Sykes had one of his best games in a City shirt as he scored the equaliser with an exquisite left foot shot before setting up Sam Bell for the winner and what will be a major boost to his confidence after a stuttering start to the season. DaveP is joined by Ian, Mark & Lez in reviewing...

DaveFevs makes a welcome return to FBC and talks with Ian & DaveP about the Carabao Cup exit against David Wagner's Canaries plus the reality, expressed in blunt terms by Nigel, that there will be no further activity in what remains of the transfer window. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

City put last week’s poor performance behind them with arguably their best 90 minutes of league action so far this season when drawing 1-1 against Hull City at the MKM Stadium on Friday night. Trailing to a first half goal and having a Wells effort disallowed for a marginal offside in stoppage time they bounced back early in the 2nd half as the Bermudian made no mistake tucking the ball in from a...
