Met Bristol fan at gym. He is very enthusiastic about their team this year

They also look great up top and suspect at the back apparently

Take a draw!

Think he’s available but I think we’ll only go with 1 cb on the bench regardless

Based on what? Losing to Stoke and a 96th min winner against two teams favoured to finish around the relegation zone. Bristol and Norwich will both be stronger opposition.

What’s happening Cov fans,

I’m looking forward to this one. On paper, two good looking squads with lots of options on the bench to make this an exciting game. I do worry that now you’ve seen what Mayulu is all about, Mark Robins will have a plan for him. Tactically I think he’s one of the best managers in the division.

But we’ve bolstered our squad since we last saw eachother with Twine and Earthy coming in. Armstrong will feature more in this one too hopefully. Should be a cracking game, safe journey down gents.

UREDZZ

Some random stats in the build up to the game:


And Wright has set the all time record (since they recorded the stat) for touches in the box (all came against Oxford)

Let’s see. Based on us being the biggest net spenders this summer and improving the squad. Like I say, 4 points would be absolutely fine, 6 fantastic.

Why ffs???? We simply HAVE to change that negative mindset.

That would mean 1point out of a possible 6 on the road. And we haven't played any of the fancied teams yet.

And 1 win at home thanks to a 95th minute bad back pass from the opposition.

Very early days of course but that's not top 6 form.

Would you be happy with mid table as well?

No way anyone should take a draw! It’s Bristol away not Liverpool. Not a disaster if we draw but we should be looking to win this.

But one we should be looking to get 6 points against if we want to get out of this league.

Depends on how it plays out. If we’re 2-0 down with five minutes left and we end up getting a draw, I don’t think I’d be annoyed. The other way round and I would be!

Now this does wind me up.

We didn't take Man Utd to penalties at Wembley. We beat them fair and square. Ruled out by a bloke in the VAR room wearing a Man Utd shirt.

Completely disagree with that perspective really... win your home games and draw your away games and you finish on 92 points...

So if we do that for the rest of the season (but lost to stoke 1st game) we finish on 91.... if we get anywhere near that points tota, we will have have exceeded expectations massively so wind your neck in!

What an absolutely rediculous assumption, when have we ever won every home game???

We were lucky to get 3 points against Oxford
Who most assume will get relegated.

I'd suggest it's you who needs to wind their neck in with that moronic statement.

I'd say rather than we were lucky to beat Oxford , it was more a case of Oxford were lucky we never stuck 7 past them .

We demolished them
