Talking of which, Tracey was a study in 'couldn't be arsed'. Thought Billington was doing well before being taken off.
Not sure why Offord got MOTM for this game. I suppose Mickey can't be given it every game.
CBR is definitely on a referee's list somewhere. He gets battered every game but still gets booked.
Why didn't the referee notice the "falling down disease" spread throughout the Bristol team?
Excellently worked goal by Nevitt.
Will we see Long again?
I thought we played ok in the first half without actually creating anything. Their finishing was very good but a mistake led to the first goal, not sure if it was Mickey or Williams. Not sure what happened for their second whether it was a goalkeeper error or not. I thought Williams was fouled seconds before the third went in. Second half was very good and if the own goal hadn't happened it could have been a very interesting finish.
One thing is certain, this team doesn't give up. Even at 4-0 down. They show more fight than any team we have had for some time and it is enjoyable to watch.
