'City face Herculean task to overcome 3-0 deficit'
City's 3-0 home defeat in the play-off semi-final first leg has given them a Herculean task at Bramall Lane on Monday night if they are to progress to the final at Wembley on 24 May. It got me thinking about when, if ever, City have recovered such a deficit or, for that matter, surrendered one of similar give City fans some hope, you need to go back to November 2002 and a League One game at Field Mill against Mansfield. With only three minutes left to play, City found themselves trailing 4-2 and that was after they had taken a 2-1 lead after 50 minutes through a Christian Roberts goal. Home goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington conceded a penalty, which was converted by Brian Tinnion to make it 4-3, then Leroy Lita struck to make it 4-4. City didn't shut up shop and went looking for a winner, which came from another Roberts strike to make it 5-4 and send the travelling supporters into raptures. I did not attend that game as I was at Villa Park watching the home team demolish West Ham 4-1. I knew City were trailing as I had a friend at the game texting me score updates. I left Villa Park shortly before the final whistle and felt the phone in my back pocket vibrate three times. I didn't check what the commotion was until I got back to the car when I then read City had achieved the impossible!The other side of the coin is more recent and took place in February 2018. City were trying to maintain their promotion push built on an impressive first half of the season but which had faltered in the early stages of the new year. Sunderland were involved in a relegation struggle. A much-needed win looked a certainty as City raced to a three-goal lead inside 40 minutes with an opener from Aden Flint then a couple from Famara all went terribly wrong from the 70th minute when Josh Brownhill started the comeback putting through his own net. Ten minutes later, Aidan McGeady made it 3-2 before a second own goal, this time from Marlon Pack, in the 92nd-minute gave Sunderland a point as the game finished I feel City will commence their 11th successive season in the Championship come early can hear more from David Pottier on the fans' podcast Forever Bristol City, external.

Tinnion is doing a 'great job'
Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown has defended technical director Brian Tinnion, saying he's been a big part of the club's came under fire from some Robins fans as the club made no signings during the transfer window, with four players leaving Ashton Gate on loan and Tommy Backwell joining Cheltenham on a permanent deal, despite City being on the fringes of the Championship play-off told BBC Radio Bristol criticism was "part of football" but added: "Tinns has been with us for a long time. I made him manager, I sacked him as manager, he's come back in to get involved with the academy and recruitment which is what he really loves doing, he's brilliant at it. "He's not somebody who sits on a board and makes financial or contract decisions, he's very much the football guru we turn to for an opinion."He does a great job, he works so hard. He's an easy target for people to say 'things aren't going right, let's blame Brian Tinnion,' but things wouldn't be going so well if it weren't for Brian Tinnion, that's what people have got to remember. "You're not going to get every decision right, but as long as you get more decisions right than wrong you'll be ok."A last-gasp equaliser at Cardiff kept the Robins outside the top-six, though they bounced back with two late goals to beat Middlesbrough on Friday night."We are making progress and I think that's the thing," Lansdown added. "I know sometimes it's not quick enough and there's frustration when you're four minutes away from being in the top six and then you're not, but you've got to take those blows – we're still in the hunt and that's the key."
