Two George Earthy tap ins gave City a crucial victory in a highly charged atmosphere under the lights against Michael Carrick's stalling Middlesborough.

The villain of the piece was Tommy Conway whose close range header after more weak hands from Max O'Leary had given his side an interval lead.

In the 2nd half, with City reverting to a flat back 4 after Pring introduction on the hour, the fans were treated to a level of entertaining football that if maintained could yet see the play off goal achieved by Matchday 46

There was a degree of inevitability about Cardiff's equaliser in the 91st minute as City withdrew into their customary shell seeking to protect the single goal advantage that had come from Knight's headed opener.

DaveP, the Tovey's & Neil Sutton dissect the action and conclude that Manning is not brave but perhaps this trait stretches right to the top of the club which explains why we are where we are.

DaveP tells the story of a famous victory over Arsenal that he & Mark Tovey achieved in Round 1 of the TalkSport TV Cup which they filmed in London on Friday. We then did our own quiz face off between Dave Tovey & Neil although Mark's cat became the star of the show!!!

Mehmeti scored a brace in a convincing win that reignited City's play off hopes. The first was a fine team goal from open play whilst the second was a stunning volley making it 11 for the season.

After Sunday's disappointing result against the Swans the atmosphere was distinctly muted before kick-off and the fans had more bad news to digest with it being revealed McNally is out for this season & more with an ACL.

There were some strong individual performances in an all round good team display.

Another glorious chance to secure 6th place, if only for a few days, gone in a game that started well enough and would have seen us out of sight were it not for two fine saves from the Swans keeper. That being said the visitors had two goal chances themselves which better sides would have seen punish our defensive openness.

We huffed & puffed after Swansea took the lead but to no avail as we went in search of an equaliser which, on balance, we probably deserved.

Barring a miracle this season really is done now!

DaveP, Tom Sutton and the Toveys also give their takeaways from the Radio Bristol interview with Tinnion.

DaveP is joined by Neil Sutton, & the Toveys [Dave & Mark] discussing a 90 minutes where referee Oliver Langford's awful performance was the subject of much chat.

A free kick to savour with no Twine involvement brought back memories of the weasel routine at Selhurst Park in 2008.

The goal conceded - down to Max or should the still off colour Dickie take some blame?

Earthy blew his big opportunity - anonymous for most of the game and should have done better in a one against one later on?

What of Manning's line up & his in game management - are we where we are because of or in spite of him?

That result gives us the 6th best home record and the dying embers of playoff contention flicker once again or am I being optimistic?

Blackburn were decent opposition and at one point in the 2nd half it looked like they were going to overwhelm City.

The subs made for City's best period of the game after Well's goal and City closed out the action without too many scares.

There were some good individual performances whilst one or two clearly weren't at their best.

For the first hour of this game City were atrocious beyond belief but you have to give them credit for twice coming from behind and they might even have got all three points if Bell's shot hadn't hit the cross bar in time added on.

DaveP, Neil Sutton, Dave & Mark Tovey review a disappointing performance at the CBS Arena.

Two poor sides with the decisive goal coming from a striker who'd hardly inspired his home fans since joining in the summer.

Feel sorry for the travelling 3k fans and suggest they spend their money differently going forward when we have a manager who thinks performances like this are acceptable as generally our home form is good!!!
