Posh Star Signs For BCFC
Bristol City Football club have today announced on there website that they have signed Peterborough Utd star George Boyd . Boyd has cost the Robins around 1.3 million which is a record fee for Peterborough to receive for a player. Boyd had been linked with a host of clubs including Lazio, West Ham and Bolton before signing with Bristol. Boyd said it was after a very short chat with the Bristol manager that he knew where we wanted to go. Bristol have also confirmed that the club has signed youngster Sergi on a free transfer.

Goals: Macheda (5) (64) Capi (38) Sproule S/O

Another top notch performance from the team. Macheda was again superb and I am beginning to wonder quite how we managed to get him on loan this season. The fans had a great laugh at former Robins player Sproule get the line.

Cardiff 1 - 2 Bristol City
Goals: Bothroyd (37) Macheda (11) Muamba (54)
MOM: Muamba
A great result against our rivals. We didn't play particularly well but its all about winning on derby day Muamba owned the midfield for the entire game. We have won four out of four league games now and are flying high at the top of the league.

League Cup 2nd Round
Norwich 0 - 0 Bristol City
Norwich win 4-3 on penalties!
MOM: Elliot
How we didn't win this match is beyond me. We had over 20 shots and 60% possession. Even no we rested 11 players we are gutted to lose this match and the gamble to rest the regulars back fired. However our priority is the league and we must move on.

Coca Cola Championship Match Day 5
Bristol City 1 - 1 Middllesbrough
Goals: Macheda (18) Aliadiere (51)
MOM: Aliadiere
A good game which in the end we where lucky to have hung on after dominating the first half. Still a good point against a very good outfit. Macheda scored again to cap and excellent month for him and the club. However he also picked up an injury that will rule him out for up to two months
Strachan was less than impressed with the referee
Player Of The Month: Macheda
The on loan striker has been nothing short of sensational since his loan move from Utd. Macheda has scored 7 goals in 6 appearances in his first month at the club. However Macheda got injured in his last match and is out for 2 months.

A Managers View
A great first month for the club in which we have won four out of 5 league games. Our good form see's us sit clear at the top of the league. However we are really disappointed to go out of the Carling Cup at such an early stage. All the new signings have settled in and are all looking good.

We are very pleased with our transfer activity this summer. We managed to hold onto all our top stars and also add some great quality to the squad. You only have to look at the first month which saw Macheda, Capi and Boyd all put in starring performances. I am also delighted that we managed to recoup 1.2 million pound as well. I have also let a couple od young guns join our feeder club Forest Green where they will gain valuable experience. I now hope that we have a balanced squad that can have a successful season on the field.
Capi has made an impressive start

Your doing well mate, league update tonight? 
September Update
Coca Cola Championship Match Day 6
Coventry 1-1 Bristol City
Goals: Gray (62) Maynard (82)
MOM: Gray
We played pretty poorly but in the end we where happy with an away point. Maynard came to the rescue late on to spare our blushes. Fair play to Coventry I didn't think they could play as well as they did.
Maynard celebrates the leveler
Coca Cola Championship Match Day 7
Swansea 3-1 Bristol City
Goals: Van Der Gun (2) Kuqi (24) Williams (47) Maynard (72)
MOM: Cotterill
This is as bad as we have played in my time here, we went 3 down an in truth it could have been much more. I have told the lads we must improve for the next game. Swansea where excellent and I can see why they are so high in the table.
The Kuqi Swan Dive
Coca Cola Championship Match Day 8
Bristol City 0-0 Scunthrope
MOM: Coleman
A really poor game that would have put anyone watching to sleep. This result calls for a change in tactic as we look to get our good form back! I was far from happy today

Derby 0-4 Bristol City
Goals: Maynard (24) (35) Boyd (82) McCourt (89)
MOM: Maynard
What a great response! I changed the tactic slightly and made us more defensive and we played on the break and boy did it work. We totally dominated the game and deserved to win by four goals. Next up we have top of the table Blackpool which should be a great game.

Coca Cola Championship Match Day 10
Bristol City 3-0 Blackpool
Goals: McCourt (44) (69) (pen82)
MOM: McCourt
What another great team performance against top of the table Blackpool. McCourt will grab all the headlines and deservedly so but the whole team was excellent. More of the same please
Hat Trick Hero
Player of the Month: Maynard
Maynard was superb this month. After playing out left for the first month he was asked to move into the middle as Macheda was injured and once he did he was brilliant. A special mention mus go to McCourt who also had a great month.

We had a very bad start to the month but once we changed the tactic we started to perform with 7 goals in two games and 6 points. We must now build on this and we have a very hard game next away to Newcastle. I am also delighted to get Fabio on loan as McAllister is getting on a bit and wont be able to play every game.
