Maybe History will show that Bristol City v Stoke on December 17th 2022 was a turning point match. A goal down away, then winning 2-1. Including a fortuitious assist for a Delap goal. Maybe our luck has changed and this was the match that started a sequence of positive events and a club revival!

Sheff Wed at home under MON 3-2 with the 2 injury time goals. Sheff Wed at home under Pulis Xmas 2002 3-2 with Gunarsson’s injury time winner, our first win in about 18 games…… With Vokes of all people popping up with the winner. One of the best mentals at our ground that was.

What about the James Beattie goal against Man City. Seem to think we were struggling until we signed him. Believe it was on his debut? Wasn't his debut. His first goal for us was at Spurs, consolation 3-1 defeat Yeh googled it n it was his 2nd. Turned us around though

I think Coventry away in place of Leeds. Put us in the brink after looking like was slipping that day. Boro at home when Southgate was their manager. We were second best but a massive win and gave us a real chance of staying up. Strange one but 6-0 loss at Forest. After that we were a different side after looking like we were certs to go down. Cov at home is the first one I think of. We’d lost at home to palace and I honestly thought we’d blown it. 1-0 down to Cov and we were done. To turn it round and fir other results to go for us that day was massive. It was back in our hands

Does Taggart’s first game at West Ham count? Beating Man U the day after pizzagate seemed to really properly kickstart the Hughes era. Yes Taggs first game deffo counts, completely changed the season Yeah Hughes beating the shit courtesy of Charlie goal marked a shift from TP era Was the WBA 4.3 first game after Vinny rallying cry in the paper? Think it was, that was a turning point Think the Vinny rallying call was 95 mate. We’d lost to vale and Oldham at home and were looking dicey. We then got our shit together, got a good point at Brum and went on yo have a great season. All with a threadbare squad

Then we got a good result away from home against a team right next to us in the table. We need to build on that again on Boxing Day.

Everything felt better.
Our corners looked dangerous.
The defence defended well.
Bonham looked comfortable (bar the save in the first half) but still much better than previous.
The midfield were great.
Campbell and Gayle worked their socks off up front.
We got a bit of fortune with two of the goals. And maybe even the first because the easy bottle job decision was to give a foul against Gayle (I don’t think it was but they’re given more than they’re not).
It was like watching a different team to all of the rest of the season tbh.

I always remember that Tranmere match at home under Lou in 95. We'd had a bad start to the season, losing to Vale in the process I think, and we only drew 0-0 but the positive reaction from the supporters to us batterng them in that game genuinely seemed to change things. Yeah I remember that one. We'd started the season poorly (apart from one really good win away at Leicester) and looked like we were living up to our pre season relegation favourites tag. I think there had been a Coates out protest at the previous home game (Oldham?). Less than 10,000 crowd in and a low key game but Tranmere were a decent team at the time with players like John Aldridge and Pat Nevin and we played really well and battered them despite the 0-0 scoreline. As you say, we gave them a good send off and I think Macari had made a few of the changes that would set us up for the good season that we were going to have. Might have been the first time he moved Gleghorn into the centre instead of wide left which was probably the biggest tactical masterstroke of the season. Don't quote me on that because I can't remember exactly when it happened but I know it was somewhere around that time and it ended up being the key to our season along with the mid season signing of Sheron. And it was also around that time where he froze out some players with bad attitudes who didn't want to be here, Toddy Orlygsson being the main one if I remember rightly. I think he left for Oldham soon afterwards.

As great as yesterday’s result was and the performance was light years ahead of what we’ve become accustomed to, there has just been too many false dawns for me. Hope I’m proved wrong, but until we are getting consistent performances and points over a sustained period, I dare not believe. We have definitely lifted the mood though and I hope the players have increased confidence and now realise what the crowd can do for them when they play their part.

I hope that you are right, but Stoke are so inconsistent. We didn't lose comfortably, we restricted them to 3 shots They barely attacked second half because we were dominant and put them under pressure Obviously you can't play for a half but we took the second half attitude and played like that from the start yesterday absolutely it's probably way too early to call but that's what am seeiing Lame Cup exit next week and can say this is bollocks Here's hoping called it right

I think he left for Oldham soon afterwards. At the time moving Glegorn into the middle looked like a stopgap measure but suddenly we had an excellent balanced midfield of Potter, Glegorn, Wallace and Keen Lacked pace but we had that in Sheron and Sturridge No target man in that side but it didn't need one More than one way to play football

Easy to forget now but the 92/93 season started really patchy. Then came beating WBA 4-3. And from that moment we were champions

Losing 6-0 away at Forest in 2002/03. We were rock bottom and ready to fall into the abyss. Then pulis managed to fix the defence and we managed to grind out results, only losing twice, before that last home game against Reading which we won 1-0 and the rest as they say is history.
