Liam thanks fans for Manning up

FIRST-HALF goals from Ross McCrorie and Nahki Wells helped Bristol City leap into the play-off places with victory at Ashton Gate.

The hosts went in front in the 24th minute after a fluff by James Abankwah led to McCrorie volleying home from a low cross.

Five minutes later Mark Sykes broke free to set up Wells, who drilled a 10-yard low shot past Egil Selvik.

Watford sub Mamadou Doumbia reduced the deficit 10 minutes from time, making space on the edge of the box to beat Max O'Leary with a sweet volley into the bottom corner.
