We certainly totally outplayed them, and their keeper got m.o.m, but for all our domination, it took a 95th minute horrendous error to gift us the winner.

If we can tighten up our defence and not give easy goals away we will be some team this season.

I'm more confident in this squad getting promotion than at any other time under MR.

Gutted to miss this one as I’m out of the country.
l live a few miles from Ashton Gate and work with Bristol City season ticket holders.
They’re a better team than last year (when we got one point from them over two games).
Their fans are more behind the team now as well than the last few years so the atmosphere should be a little better (excluding the irritating early kick off!).

There is no such thing as an easy game in the Championship. We proved that last year losing to R’ham! If we’re not on our game tomorrow, we will lose.
That being said, our squad edges theirs. I’m hoping for a win, but a draw isn’t a bad result.

Kitching has appeared at LB at times in his career (esp in his early days at Barnsley IIRC).

Not sure I’d pick him over Bidwell all things being equal. But defo an option. Wide players are getting bigger and it’s not unusual to see players over 6ft at full back these days.

The idea of Kitching running down the left wing and having to whip crosses in gives me nightmares

Both teams could be well matched. We have more than enough talent up front to score …..but can we keep a clean sheet??

I’ll be annoyed if we lose this to be honest. If we are to be in the mix we need to be picking up points consistently

Yeah, there's obviously a very long way to go in the season yet but to lose your opening two away games at sides tipped for nothing more than midtable obscurity would have to go down as a bad start. Bristol are an odd side really, seemingly well backed for years but never managed to do anything with it.

Have chosen the A46 to J9 at Tewkesbury. Cuts out some of the motorway. Hope it pays off. Not like Swansea the season before last.

Bristol may be a good side but they have not made the play offs since promotion to the Championship in 2016.

They are not feared in the way Leeds and dare I say Leicester were last year, and we got something somewhat surprisingly at one of those and should have at the other.

They have lost Conway.

A win is a distinctly possible but slightly odds against. A point against a potential play off contender is a must

Binks is better on the ball imo, if we were doing that I’d play him wide and Kitching central.

Tbf we are all saying that none of the CB's have been outstanding I'm not sure what putting them at LB is exactly going to solve.

Would take a draw but agree with others that we need to be winning these sort of games and need to get rid of that mentality.

2-1 to Bristol.

I always use that route. Usually works out pretty well.

Didn’t realise it was a 12:30 KO or it was on Sky until ittoo late and I’m out in Birmingham from midday.

Any recommendations for where might show the game? There’s a Man U game on, so I assume most pubs will have that on.
Click to expand...

Anyone for anything on this?

At this point, I’m aiming for a generic Walkabout type place hoping they’ll have it on.
