DaveP reviews the game with Neil Sutton, Dave "the Turtle" Tovey & Mark Tovey

Scott Twine's perfectly flighted free kick was converted by McNally's deft touch and it proved to be the decisive strike in a game City deserved to win by a more convincing scoreline.

Derby were a more savvy side than recent opponents at Ashton Gate and twice in the first half City had to rely on instinctive saves from Max O'Leary to prevent a goal.

City were in control throughout the 2nd half and their game management in the closing stages deserves praise for the way they effectively mothered the ball by the corner flag!

Jason Knight must have covered every blade of grass on the Ashton Gate turf with a hugely energetic display.

20 games left - a 10/5/5 W/D sequence could be enough. 5 sets of 4 games each producing 7 points !!!!

A decent performance but questionable substitute timings

A three goal blast in 20 first half minutes put City in complete control against a Pompey side who had started the game by resting a number of players from the side that had so convincingly won at Fratton Park only 22 days previously.

Mehmeti scored a brace and with more composure might have got his hat-trick instead of volleying over the bar.

The back 3 of Vyner, Dickie & McNally looked solid and accomplished and with McCrorie & Pring on the flanks it is certainly a "land of the giants" defensive unit.

A win at Plymouth will fuel further optimism about what the 2nd half of the season might bring.
