    That's it folks. A pretty decent game ending with a home win that takes Bristol City off the bottom of the Championship table and up to 19th place. Suddenly things are looking far healthier in the West Country.

    If you want to read up on how they did it, without wading through every cough and spit, then have a look at the match report here. Forest stay 14th for now but are unlikely to remain there after the rest of the weekend's action.

    Bristol City midfielder Luke Freeman told Sky Sports: "It's massive - our first home win of the season. It was coming. It's a massive bonus to get a clean sheet. We have been working on it. If we can get another three points on Tuesday night [away against Brighton] we can build on this."

    There it is. Bristol City celebrate their first home win this season. And they deserve it for a blistering start and dominant first half. Steve Cotterill looks a happy man. The City fans will no doubt enjoy the weekend too. Lots of grim looking Forest players trudging off.

    No one can deny Forest have made a game of it in the second half but they were mostly awful before half-time. Conceding twice in the first 11 minutes when they played like strangers at the back basically sealed their fate. Three minutes of added time being played.

    That first home win is coming. Less than three minutes - and counting.

    Before Wilbraham's double chance, Forest last hopes were pinned on Dexter Blackstock, who surely has one of the best names in football. He's had a terrible time with injuries in the last couple of years but on his day is still a big threat and strong presence up front. Can he lift Forest as we enter the final five minutes?

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 84 mins

    Bristol City 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    Joe Bryan, recently on at left wing-back for Bristol City, is the latest player to go into the referee's notebook for a clip on Jamie Ward's heals.

    It should be game over. Aaron Wilbraham has a couple of chances to add his third, but his header his saved and he makes a hash of follow-up when it looked easier to score. To be fair to Dorus de Vries the second save was outstanding. 

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Nottingham Forest's third and final substituion - Dexter Blackstock is on for Jack Hobbs.

    And Luke Freeman has made way for Bristol City, replaced by Bobby Reid.

    Jonathan Kodjia has been bright all night and probably deserves a goal. He was so close there as well, with only an instinctive low save by Dorus de Vries keeping the score at 2-0.

    Immediately Bristol City threaten at the other end and Dorus de Vries has to make two fine saves in quick succession to deny Jonathan Kodjia and Luke Ayling, the second save coming from Nathan Baker's cross.

    A hairy moment for City there. Aden Flint plays a pass back towards goal and Frank Fielding had come to the right hand side of his box to help his defender. Had there been a bit more pace on that it could have been humiliating.

    City are showing the other side of their game now and the defence is managing to stand firm. Most of Forest's opening have been half-chances and the home side are doing a pretty decent job of keeping the visitors at arm's length. Keeper Frank Fielding saves a Jamie Ward effort at his near post without too much fuss.
