It was a very enjoyable game, but the quality of our football wasn't any better than mid-table form. The first twenty was poor, but after we scored, I thought there was only one winner. Bristol City should be ashamed of themselves.
Having said that, you don't just win 4-1 by accident and once we got our noses in front we pressed home our advantage. Although Liegertwood and Karacan did well, I think there is a lot more to come from them. First time I'd seen Liegertwood live and initially, I wondered what all the fuss was about. Glad to see him get better as the game went on. Mills hasn't convinced me all season and he was comprehensively outplayed by Pearce.
Great banter with Feds at the end and a fun way to end Christmas. There is definitely the basis of a decent Championship side here and it will be interesting to see what happens in January. Outside bet for the playoffs but no more at present.
And well done Shane Long for a great forward's performance.
