Yeah, been a positive few weeks. I feel the other 3 teams in the race are stronger but if we can keep consistent for the run in we might scrape it.

Mental still isn't it?

Dreamland.

Still think we'll fall short, but my goodness it's been a great watch.

You just won’t bugger off will you?!

Fair play is all I can say, I hope you go up but I fear it’s not at our expense!

My heart is still racing lol!

The thing for me was, even when they scored to go 2-1 up, the crowd were still positive, missed the penalty, crowd still positive, no jeers, moans, just everyone back on their feet cheering the team on.

Such an amazing atmosphere.

First half Bristol were brilliantly organised, but that last 30 was something, always entertained.

Watched the game again this morning before work laugh

Caught the game on Sky last night. Never watched any games this season, but both City and yourselves liked to keep the ball on the deck and move it around which was great to see.

Who is the left back? Cracking player he looks, wand of a left foot.

Leif Davis.

Most assists in the league this season, and I believe (or should be be-lief) last night he tied Trippers Championship record for assists in a season.

Give his prowess with a deadball, I’m surprised we’re yet to see him take a penalty.

If we don’t get promoted, I expect he’ll be our most likely high profile player sale. Rumours of hometown Newcastle and West Ham sniffing around.

All to play for.
Exciting few weeks ahead.
Is it possible that Leicester might be the team to miss out on automatic??
Think Leeds have hit a run of form (unfortunately)

It sounds like we rode our luck yesterday but somehow we're top. Bloody tight though and wouldn't bet on an auto promotion spot.

If ever a season could show the play offs are perhaps not a great way of deciding 3rd place this would be it.

Absolutely! And I do have a niggling feeling that whoever finishes third won't go up - I think it will be a real downer to have missed out on automatic promotion despite such a good points haul and if they suffer a negative reaction I can see them being beaten in the play-offs.

And as we saw yesterday there are going to be some decent teams in the play-offs who on a given day will be capable of beating any of the top three if they're not at it; by all accounts you were a touch fortunate to beat Saints and 3-1 definitely flattered us (Leeds) against Hull!

I don't see many games, unfortunately, as we don't possess sky etc. However, the Ipswich games I have seen, have been so topsy-turvy. Massively on top, then they are all over us, without barely a touch. All of a sudden, we are the best passing team in the league.
Has it been like this all season?

I think we can all agree on that tbh, especially Leeds or Leicester. Ipswich I think may still have enough, but the other 2 will definitely fail in the play offs, as I think the Saints will as well.

Exactly my feelings. I am not expecting us to win the playoffs and automatic is gone for us now.
We could have an impact on the top 2 though as we play both Leicester and Leeds.

Pressure getting to everyone!

Saints back in the race as well with their game in hand and playing both ourselves and Leeds.

We need to win at home to WBA next weekend, anything else is not acceptable.

Last night was shocking for us, only got back a couple of hours ago, great night ruined only by the football!

I can't believe how the top three are failing to see it out. Leeds particularly, who have been unbeaten at home. Leicester, who have looked the best team in the league. Ipswich have been in fine company, would be great to see it out.

I wonder if there's a greater expectation for fans of the relegated prem sides but for us its been an incredible season. If we make it then fantastic but if we don't its still been a great ride.
