Very pleased with the result.

As long as we don't lose we ought to be safe. According to the Bristol boards we are cheaters esp Halford.

Thanks for the comments from those who went. We have to manage the fact that with NW in charge people will have a pre-conception that we are going to be physical and dirty. That includes referees. Other managers will play on that. Evans and Raynor made sure they and their players were at the ref all the time, and Johnson made pre-match comments in the media to the same effect. Leeds had two giant centre backs who took no prisoners, a niggly ball winner in midfield (Bridcutt - did anyone see the horror tackle he put in for Scotland?) and a big lump up front (Wood). They certainly mixed it when needs be. Bristol City are no different. It sounded like their centre backs were giants and Wilbrahim has been bashing centre halves around for years. It sounded like they were pretty direct with it. We got no yellows last night I think. Fortunately it seems (and Ex confirms) that the ref was wise to what was going on. Unfortunately previous refs have not been and we have got red cards based on what refs expect us to be like. When you look at those reds, Wood made two clumsy but not bad tackles, Halford was given two yellows for two fouls that weren't even fouls (certainly not the first one), Mattock was given a ridiculous second yellow seconds before full time for time wasting when the ref clearly didn't realise he had already had a first one, and Derbyshire's was rescinded. The problem is that if you get yourself a reputation it can become a self fulfilling prophecy, so it is something we need to be mindful of.
