Consistency is an over rated virtue.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!
Walsh could prove our nemesis for this game, giving them insight into our formation/style of play/potential weaknesses.
Could be telling them to press as Marosi can be a bit too blase with the ball, Fadz can also make a mistake, Dabo being out suggests attack down our right.
The gulf is massive mate budgets are even bigger survival is a massive success this season which I’ll take all day anything else is a bonus but we need to be real with what we expect.OK so many on here not giving our own team much encouragement. I find that staggering after the very good transfers we have had, MR's ability, confidence in the side and spirit. We were beging to run away with the league last season and we have strengthened really well.
So perhaps then it's time for some honesty and a prediction poll? Put your name on it, then there is no argument. For me I think we will be at least mid table.
0-0.
Lads they are a decent team but lets not turn them into prime Barcelona.
Compared to the majority of the teams we played last year they are, but that's to be expected when they have a 8 million pound player in midfield and a 20 million quid ex England squad player in defence
It's not negativity it's realism, anything other than a heavy defeat on Saturday will be a good result
So you'll be pleased if it ends 0-2 then
weird

And if we play poorly and win ?? LolDepends how well we play, if we play well but lose I'll be happy (not suicidal like the rest of this place will be)

Results tend to breed confidence which in turn improves performance.Apprehensive for the long term if I'm honest, these first few games are about bedding in and getting used to the new league so it's all about performance rather than results for me

He go cally aswell?Paterson is 28 so he'll be 3 years or so above you

So 5 really unlucky losses and you'd be happier than if we had 5 lucky wins
You really are a weirdo

Of course I'd be happy with the pointsbut that isn't sustainable over a long season is it
Have we been parachuted into the Prem or something?
So what if we're playing Bristol City and they've got a player worth £8m in midfield. We held our own against Birmingham City not that long ago who had a £25m player in midfield for them.
Remember about the quality WE have. Yes defence is looking like an area of concern with Dabo, McCullum and Rose all not playing this weekend but remember the reputation that the likes of Ostigard, Sheaf and Hamer come with. We've got arguably two of the best strikers we've in years in Godden and Walker and Marosi is a fine keeper.
I don't think I've ever seen such a covering of negativity before a game. Granted, I'm the eternal optimist and could well be wrong but people are writing us off because of the size of cheque-books. It doesn't always work like that chaps.
Chins up, chests out....
He go cally aswell?
Didn't know, small world eh.Yeah
The 20 million quid player he was talking about was Alfie Mawson but he really wasn't worth 20 million quid.

If he is flapping it this much just wait until we play the likes of Norwich, Derby, Brentford, Watford etc.
You just said that performances are more important than results, you seem to be quite confused about what you actually want
People really need to treat Bristol city with some more respect, if it wasn't for the Lee Johnson classic end of the season they would have probably been the play offs last season
But he was bought for 20 million and was in the England squad at that time so in the eyes of Fulham at the time he was worth that
But he really wasn't though, the true value of something is not what some idiots pay for it.
But again that is down to personal opinion and seeing him play week in week out isn't it, I have no idea if was worth it as I didn't see him play much so the only thing we can go on is the fact Fulham paid 20 million for him and he was in the England squad
That must have been the longest corner kick everBristol City signing Chris Brunt makes me nervous. He always tended to do well against us! If I remember correctly, he scored directly from a corner at the Ricoh when he was at Sheffield Wednesday
