Bristol City 2-0 Brighton



From Bristol City Website:

Gary Johnson praised his team for their professionalism in what he considered a "very comfortable" Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over Brighton at Ashton Gate.

"It was convincing and it was comfortable. Brighton never looked like hurting us when they had the ball, and for a while it was a duel between Scott Murray and their keeper. Unfortunately Kuipers won that battle. He has made several great saves to stop us winning by a much bigger margin"

And the manager was quick to express the hope that Bristol Rovers eventually win their twice postponed Southern semi-final tie at Shrewsbury to set up a two-legged derby clash next month.

"Of course we would like Rovers to get through. Fans of both clubs have been talking about it for some time and it would be great for the city of Bristol."

COME ON YOU REDS!! (And bring on the blues...)

Was there really any need for that Andy, you cheeky ______?

Surely we must've stuck our reserve team out for that match.....

I hope you play the Gas though, that would be class. And of course I hope City win. Honestly.

No Jonny, there was absolutely no need for that whatsoever. Made me smile though!

I had to put up with Brighton pipping City to promotion TWICE during your time in Bristol, so you have to expect some revenge banter now that Brighton are rubbish!

Haha, fair enough mate, fair enough!

So are you confident that City will get promoted this year? It looks pretty close at the top of the table.
