Biggest game of the season, this is a MUST win
Anything else other than a win is useless as we have to win all of our home games!!
3-1 City

We know Ogogo is shite so hopefully can expose him, time for bayliss to step up

I wouldn't be surprised if Ogogo puts a first game of the season performance in and bullies Bayliss.

Hopefully Kelly gets ahead of Ogogo throughout

Take a lesson from Hiwulas comments in the Shite Rag! He appreciated the song the fans sing for him and it was noticeable that his perfomance was enhanced because of it. That could be replicated for some other members of the team that need help with confidence BAKA, Bayliss etc

It really is more than time that Tom Bayliss to step out. The games passing him by too often this season. Ogogo will use the experience we expected to see and have the better of him to easily.
He’s currently our weak link of the midfield.
He’s in desperate need of a rest for the best of his career too in my opinion

Tricky narrow win, with Willis sitting on JCH all game. Ogogo to be the player he was meant to be for us, by giving the BR midfield real steel (just what we need).
I would rest Bayliss and maybe even Stirling but put them on the bench against a "rainy day", and play Meyler and Grimmer in their stead.
A lot will depend (as it always does) on the way Robins sets them up. Baka has to have more support - Hiwula and Bright must be closer to him. Bright has to give up trying to do the Bayliss job and get forward - and get some more neutral coloured boots while he's at it. Thomas should act more instinctively first time, rather than try to get into the absolutely ideal position, thus giving the defence time to recover. He got lucky against Barnsley, the defender lunged. Mason needs to take heart from his assist against Barnsley and risk more left foot crosses into the box.
And like I'm sure everybody else, I want Burge to command the 6 yard area (I can only fantasize)
I shall miss this one, on hols in France. I shall be cycling along a french canal following on Sky Blue Talk, waiting for the "Get in" posts.

JCH can have his goal, just as long as we get the three points. Doncaster away at Bradford on Saturday, so fully expecting to start the game 9 points behind them.

I hope our fans layoff JCH. He is clearly their main man - we only saw little glimpses of his potential, but when he did play well it always seemed it was when he got riled. I know its an unlikely scenario but I think politely applauding him would completely throw him off his game

Our run in is incredibly challenging since its a mix of teams vying for promotion with teams scrambling to avoid relegation.
Both are equally dangerous, the latter possibly more so.
I'll probably go with a 2-2 draw for this one. Our home record is pretty atrocious.
Nothing is more certain than the fact that JCH will score against us.

Bayliss has scored in 2 of our very recent home games hasn't he?

Wish we had inserted a clause that JCH wasn't allowed to play against us!!!!
Or a gentleman's agreement if a clause isn't allowed.

Every team south of Burton has a fight, only Burton and Fleetwood are "mid table". The bottom is very congested

Im looking forward to this but fully expect at least one goal from JCH. Experience tells me we will screw up and lose bit fingers crossed we buck the trend and stuff them. I have a soft spot for Rovers from living down there but i hope we smash them.

Yes, so the pitch will probably be as bad as ever.

Coventry 0-6 Bristol - JCH all 6 goals, gets sent off for jumping into naughty corner and celebrating, and Ogogo to be the rock in midfield - prompting us all to wish we’d signed someone like Ogogo - Burge to fuck up at least 3 tomes
This’ll be tougher than we think. They’ve got a decent midfield. 2 up top with JCH is also a threat if we can’t break them down early. Our record at home against fairly poor sides that come to withstand pressure has not been good at all lately. It’s as simple as if we take one our inevitable handful of early chances we’ll be fine if not we’ll be repeating the burton/oxford game again

All the teams around us will fuck up Saturday and we'll take advantage with a comfortable win.
