Hopes were raised after Tuesday's star performance against Southampton but in true Bristol City fashion the fans were brought back down to earth by the sort of lack lustre home performance that has been all too familiar in recent years.
DaveP discusses the action with Ian, Mark & Tom with the group unable to draw anything positive from the game, indeed, there are questions over Manning's tactics and inclusion of Twine on the bench yet not playing him when the team were crying out for someone who could unlock the QPR defence.
Ian tried to pin the performance on fatigue associated with the recent cup replays but was shot down and there will be no excuses left to defend a poor performance next week at Sheffield Wednesday as the boss will have plenty of time on the grass in training to get his ideology across to the players.
