Going to spend to morning putting my massive array of Cov shirts on the walls and maybe write "Cov fans only" on the bathroom door.

'On Paper' I would expect a win!
Please don't big up these average sides. We may win, lose or draw the first few fixtures. What is important to see is how we win,lose or draw that will be the key indicator. I think our squad is strong in depth and a few surprises will come from within. We play a lot of posession football and with that you can't lose too many.

Did you get out of a different side of bed Gibbo? The other day you 'liked' a post from Sick Boy who said we were in for a shock this season and predicted a 4-1 defeat. I prefer your positive side, mate!

Haha i think we’ll just about survive, it was aimed at those who are majorly underestimating the gulf between League 1 - having people on this thread call a side like Bristol City ‘average’ is just embarrassing.

Would be very happy with a draw here so with shades of 1977, I'm going for 2-2 @ 12/1.

Had a dream that we won 1-0, scored a rebound from a long shot from about 10 yards. Who scored it? Junior Brown, so I don’t know what to believe.

I’m going 2-0 to Bristol C. Two nuffin!

Considering

a) He was our top scorer in our championship winning season; and
b) In our last 4 league games, we scored 5 and Matty got 4 of them.

You would think it's not difficult to work out our main goal threat?!!

It’s only Paddy Power and Betfair, they’re owned by the same company. Sky Bet and Bet 365 have it 11/5 anytime

No, it's mis-priced. They think Jordan Young and David Bremang from our youth team are more likely to score.

I reckon either a 2-2 or maybe 2-1(cov win)
It will be a really tight one considering what people think of the league next season as they have put us two teams in the same sort of level or it could be a nothing game and end 0-0 who knows

I know that wasn't aimed at me as I've not said they're average, just not Barcelona.

I also think we've got the best squad we've had in years with the best manager we've had in decades and will therefore surprise a few.

If we lose today, I won't change that view (unless we get thumped 8-0!).

Mixture of pessimism, pragmatism and optimism on here. I’m definitely somewhere in the middle of the latter two.

Little bit too much fear being shown in my view, especially as some of which is based around the theory the gulf between Championship and L1 is massive and Bristol have signed players worth a lot of money, so they’re automatically a stronger team. There are examples across football that could be used to counter both points (especially the second one).

Granted Bristol are an established Championship team and have a number of good players, but we also have a number of good players, we have momentum, confidence and team cohesion from last season. I know Bristol don’t have the last element yet.

Let’s be confident and enjoy the day, it’s a shame we can’t watch it in person but I’m sure we’ll all be tuned into iFollow supporting the club in the best way we can. I also won’t miss idiotic ‘get it forward’ chants, albeit Oggy might as well shout that everytime Marosi has the ball.

2-1 City, Godden, O’Hare (and Paterson for them).

Marosi
Ostigard McFadzean Hyam
Pask Kelly Hamer Giles
O’Hare Allen
Godden

Wilson, Mason, Eccles, Shipley, Bapaga, Walker, Bakayoko

The massive flaw in the team is Dabo, especially as Pask isn’t a RWB. I’d have liked Burroughs to play there but I think MR will go with Pask.

Have a few ales and enjoy the day - we absolutely deserve it.

No logical thinking at all now. All out of the window, pure buzzing football emotion day.

These are our Champions playing back in a proper league and I can't wait.

They are average in championship terms, maybe even below average.

Obviously they are better than us. But in the grand scheme of these league, they are very average.
