'Bring on Leeds United' - Bristol City fans in confident mood after Derby County win

Bristol City fans are in confident mood after their 3-2 win over Derby County moved them to three points off second place in the Championship.

The Robins went 3-0 ahead before clinging on for victory after the Rams scored twice in the second half, leaving fans delighted with the win.

Debutant Markus Henriksen impressed in particular, picking up man of the match in a result that closes the gap in the race for promotion.

The Robins have second-placed Leeds United on Saturday and fans are in confident mood, knowing a win will move them level on points with Marcelo Bielsa's side.

Kate: I’m exhausted after that game - hiding behind my fingers and pulling my hair out from 84 mins in. Bring on Leeds!

Grumpy: We were on it tonight, a few more performances like that and we're a top six finish.

Charlie: As if Derby fans actually think they deserved to win because they had more possession than us. Passing backwards and essentially doing nothing with it isn’t going to win you the game lads.

Aaron: Bristol City's three new signings on their (full) debut... Wells: Goal. Benkovic: Goal. Henriksen: Man of the match. Solid start.

Steve: Dec 2017 Korey Smith mugged off the entire Man United squad. Tonight he had their record goal scorer on toast to finish the job.

Arron: Again City will give me a heart attack. How we nearly threw away a 3-0 lead, but anyway much needed win. New signings looked good, Henriksen in particular. Very good, three points off second and Leeds on Saturday could be a interesting couple of months for City.

Steve Gardner: I have no nails left, but I’ve just about got over the stress of watching.

Jordan: Supporting City should come with a health warning.
