Yes but would you be mad enough to swear at a statue 50 years on?

Hard to believe that was 14 years ago. Remember it like yesterday unfortunately.

At both of those and prior to that 77-78 gamw when we though UEFA cup

Remember when we were basically relegated there over Easter in 2012, the true definition of a 6 pointer as Bristol were the side we were in direct competition with - Pissed it down all day, surrendered a 1 goal lead lost 3-1 and relegation was all but confirmed

Gyokeres last minute winner a few seasons ago was a good night though

At both of those and prior to that 77-78 game when we thought UEFA qualification was likely after getting a draw on last game of season.

Better to play on a Saturday rather than midweek as more chance of winning in a daylight game.

Sorry to disappoint but I've watched a lot of PV games this season to see Shippers and they're absolutely gash. I know it's the cup and all that, but even BC 2nd string will smash them tomorrow so the game will be Tuesday 17th.

I was at the one too (didn’t Wallace score?). Remember it being brutal outside when game finished.

Can someone clarify, please? The Vale Bristol game tomorrow is the 4th round tie? And if so, who do the winners play in the 5th round? I can’t see it anywhere.

I think Wallace did score.

Just remember the walk after game , it being sunny and being semi confident we had qualified for Europe.

I'm in two minds about when is best to play this. Saturday is great, one week after our last game, but lesser time for Onyeka to recover, but potentially playing a tired Bristol team from their match against Port Vale in the week. If Bristol win that, then it gets postponed to a midweek game which ,makes it a 3 game week for us but onyeka has longer to recover before Preston at home. Saturday probably better but there are arguments for both.

If BC get through, the fixture list says they play Sunderland on Sunday then Leicester on Tuesday then again on the Saturday (long trip to Middlesbrough).
Playing them on the next Tuesday means they would be on their fourth game in 10 days. We would have had a nice 11 day rest then on our third game in 7 days
Just off to check my facts !)

Difficult to know until we see their line up. If they prioritise the FA cup run and play a strong line up it could impact their fitness and confidence if they do get knocked out.

Weve got enough to beat Bristol without Onyeka if need be

If it's a midweek then it'll be on the 'red button' wouldn't it? If so that's a 'yes' for me

Unless they've changed the rules, it will still treated as a "Saturday 3pm" game and not broadcast.

Three of the Championship play-off teams have a history, which explains why Jimmy Hill's name may echo around Coventry's away end tonight

Nice final quote:

Saturday - play again - try to keep momentum.
A win keeps pressure on others.
If we don't play, Ipswich will have played three times before we next play (Preston on Weds) and could be two points behind us. Pressure would then be back on us!

Thanks for this. Flicked on DAZN to watch Barcelona v Atleti after the Ipswich game while reading SBT. Your comment prompted me to check and I’m now watching the FA Cup game (with English comms too).

That pitch is awful. Bristol players will be knackered if we play them Saturday. Come on Shippers

Port Vale scoring a very late winner or winning on pens would do us nicely now I think.
