Word from the camp

Assistant Head Coach Jamie McAllister has been talking of City's ability to bounce back as they go in search of using home form to their advantage this weekend and put Wednesday night's defeat behind them.

MEMORABLE FIXTURE

Bristol City 6-1 Huddersfield
Tuesday, April 18th 1989
Ashton Gate
Scorers: Taylor 2, 16, 27, Walsh 4 (p), Gavin 15, McClaren 76
Att: 4,542

A 27-minute hat-trick from ‘Super’ Bob Taylor helped City thump the Terriers, who were reduced to ten men late on through Ken Doherty’s red card.

A minute’s silence was held before kick-off with both teams paying their respects to those killed in the Hillsborough disaster, and once the action was under way it was City who were quickest off the blocks.

Taylor was off the mark after only two minutes and was up-ended shortly after with Alan Walsh tucking away the resulting penalty. Two goals just a minute apart from Mark Gavin and Taylor put City 4-0 up with only 16 minutes on the clock.

Huddersfield were stunned but there afternoon would soon get worse with City 5-0 ahead before half an hour of play, this one courtesy of Taylor once more as he sealed his hat-trick.

Craig Maskell would score a consolation goal for Huddersfield in the second half but there was still time for Steve McClaren to grab City’s sixth to round off a super day in BS3.

Bristol City XI: Waugh, Honor, Bailey, Newman, Pender, Gavin, McClaren, Galliers, Taylor, Walsh, Turner.

AND FINALLY...
