After a week of soul-searching, inquests and deeper questions, City's 3-1 provided relief for everyone of a yellow and green persuasion - especially given the improved nature of the performance after falling behind.

Goals from Paris Maghoma, Mathias Kvistgaarden and an own goal from Ivan Meslik from Anthony Musaba's cross secured the points after Charlie Kelman profited from a City error to give the Addicks the lead inside 10 minutes.

One swallow doesn't make a summer and City remain 20th in the Championship table at the quarter stage of the competition, but it is a win that will inject confidence back into the squad, fans and boss Philippe Clement.

The Belgian saw a host of brave decisions pay off at the Valley, namely persisting with Dan Grimshaw in goal plus starting Kvistgaarden as the number nine ahead of Jovon Makama. Kenny McLean's return from the bench was also pivotal to getting the result over the line.

City are now looking ahead to a crucial three game stretch ahead of the international break in November, starting with a Halloween clash against fellow strugglers Watford at Carrow Road on Saturday lunchtime. Trips to injury-ridden Derby and then out of form Bristol City may offer a route to more form that can help stabilise their slow start.

Would you keep Grimshaw between the sticks? Does Harry Darling keep his place at the back after helping City to a precious three points? Are you confident Clement will now drive this group up the Championship table?

This is your debate, not ours. You set the agenda.
