Match Thread Bristol City V Coventry City (24 Viewers)

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I fancy us to win today! It’s going to be a difficult season, but a lot of us have probably built the Championship up in our heads a bit. I know I have!

Solid in defence, and we’ll take our chances when we get them. 1-0 or 2-1 to us!*

*I’m a hopeless optimist running off the high of last season!

We could be top by tonight, depending how the other results go.

Maybe I could start another thread for this, but I understand there are three law changes this season, anyone know what they are?

I am assuming we don't have VAR, but goal line technology?

A draw will be a great result.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hand ball one will be controversial

Today is the day when we find out if we are getting promoted or relegated then. Excited.

 

[hamil99]

Proper pumped for this! I want to get on the beers already fotr the arsenal match as a warm up but I feel I might not make it to the end of the cov match let alone the Liverpool game!

Cov to win 2-1. O'Hare, Godden.

 

[chiefdave]

Looking forward to this, great to be back in the Championship. Might have changed my mind by 5pm!

Sorry to be the sourpuss but while everyone is getting excited, don't expect us to be playing like European champions on day 1. Watching the Watford/Middlesboro game last night was like watching any team in League 1 last year. Tedious, poor and misplaced passes. Everyone will be adjusting to regular games again.

But I've just signed up to iFollow and subbed for the game. Finally getting to see the lads play regularly. So here's hoping that iFollow gives better coverage this year than the comments on here suggested last season

We will know by 3.45 mate

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

We will know by 3.45 mate

3.45 on the opening day of the season last year we were 0-0 at home to Southend so I think we could give it a bit longer.

Getting excited because it's the first proper game we've had in 6 months?

Imagine if we went top tonight and COVId ended the season

FFS! We’re down to 11th.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Got my pass sorted, sure I'll mess up actually watching it but hey, all ready to go. Beer in fridge, life is... alright.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Get the Uber ready for Robins then

 

[cc84cov]

Dabo to start anyone ?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

ifollow question.

Do you have to buy the match pass on the CCFC website and then download the new EFL ifollow app? If so, do you log in with the same username and password as the CCFC site?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Dabo to start anyone ?

I can see it. Months ago I was told that their injuries wouldn’t prevent them starting the season . No need for rose with ostigard but dabo has no real back up

That's exactly it. Buy the pass online and log into the app with the same account details. You don't have to use the app to watch, you can get the stream on the CCFC site as well.

He does! It’s just that he also got injured!

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Hope the Samaritans are prepared and ready for action for the usual suspects on here speed dialling in should we go 1-0 down......

[theferret]

Was feeling a bit flat in the week, but proper getting up for this now. Fancy us to get something. Happy with the draw obviously, but got a feeling we're going to rock up there today and win the game. Nailed on we'll get hammered now.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Brum in front against Brentford

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Can’t decide if we’re going to get tonked, but have a sneaky feeling we might scrape a 0-1 in a nervy start of season encounter with lots of misplaced passes.

In fact scrap that, can’t see us not making a mistake at the back, so I’ll go 1-2 O’Hare and Walker with the goals.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Yawn

On all evidence your finger is no doubt poised again over the speed dial for 'taxis' - you absolute twat.

Anyway enjoy the season and best wishes to all of our fans for a great campaign ahead.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Biggest test is we haven’t played a competitive league game for 6 months and also testing ourselves in higher league. Most of the current Champ clubs have had a much shorter pre season but have played competitively in the last few months. Let’s see if it makes a difference. But most teams don’t get going till 10 games in the bank.

There is no evidence. ThIs is an opportunity to survive in this league this season and we need to

 

[fatso]

I'm even excited to see the team sheet.
I'll probably cum in my pants!
