Bristol City head coach Liam Manning has said that the result was the thing that pleased him the most
00:06
as the Robins went into the championship playoff places,
00:09
defeating Watford by two goals to one at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon.
00:14
Before the encounter, Bristol City had sat level on points with those inside of the playoffs,
00:19
but just outside them on goal difference.
00:21
But, crucially, the three points at Ashton Gate on Saturday saw them move into the top six
00:27
and give them the best chance of being promoted to the Premier League.
00:31
I had a result. I think it was another tough game.
00:36
I think the whole afternoon, I think, when you look at it, I thought first-half performance was excellent.
00:40
I thought, you know, up against such a physical, powerful, quick side that caused you problems physically
00:45
and with some really talented individuals, I think the bit you then have to do is take care of the ball
00:51
and show a bit of bravery. I thought we did that first half, and then second-half,
00:54
it becomes a slightly different game where, of course, you'd chase perfection in terms of how you manage it,
00:59
but I thought the lads did an excellent job in terms of sticking together,
01:02
showing real resilience, fight, desire to run, to compete,
01:06
and restricted them, I thought, to very little, to be fair.
01:08
So I think it's one of those I thought we showed a real togetherness today.
01:12
And finally, Bristol Rovers head coach, Neagle Calderon, was once again looking for answers
01:17
as Bristol Rovers lost to Bolton by one goal to nil.
01:22
I think the first half was really good. I was really pleased with the team, especially defensively.
01:27
I think we were solid, but I think we did really good at the game plan.
01:35
The second half, I think we started to feel, I know I was tired, but we stopped doing the things that good.
01:41
And, but still, still, I don't think we were struggling too much.
01:47
LUB, obviously, you expect them to have the momentum, because then that's why they are in the top six,
01:52
and we are not. But, overall, it was a good performance, but still not enough in terms of,
02:01
it's like 60, 65 minutes, and after, it's true, after when we react, no, we react,
02:06
we were a bit more positive, and we have a few chances, but, as always, we have to improve,
02:12
improve, and that's why we are losing teams.
