All is quiet on (the thread about the game on) new year's day

I’m waiting until we’ve beaten Cardiff

If we lose to Cardiff, many people will think twice about paying £33 a ticket…..especially just after Christmas and just after they’ve been slammed for a freezing cold Decembers energy bill.

Could be a Bloody Sunday if we lose

Woeful manager, criminally underachieving with some good footballers

Yes, his achievement of just staying up at Leicester is overstated given their subsequent success with many of the same players. He's a very strange individual who I suspect most players can't stand.

Let’s hope we get him sacked New Years Day can’t stick the bloke.

Usually the beginning of the end, calling the fans out.

Their fans are decent , deserve better than that absolute flannel

Agreed - he seems happy to throw players under the bus, is prickly to the extreme, and comes across as a right moody sod. Can't imagine he helps create a happy dressing room.

I don't understand why this game is so much more expensive than Cardiff. Since when has Bristol City been a big name ?

Since they brought nearly 4000 last time and the club have been opportunistic.
I agree it should be CAT B no more.

Can you recall how many supporters Sheffield United brought ? That was a disappointing crowd and I'm guessing that was a cat A, but I genuinely can't remember.

Really need to win this one to get back into play-off contention.

Back? Were not out of contention as table stands

Not many teams are and if we lose the game in hand we are 6 points off relegation

 

[WestEndAgro]

Missing this one, first home game I've missed out on, enjoy the game folk's.

 

[covhead1]

We've gone off the boil so we need to crank up the heat and beat BC nice and convincingly. I think we will (sans new years day hangovers)
2-0 win for the Sky Blues

Agree but we're not out of contention. Agree a win is big to stay in contention

 

[stupot07]

Sunday's a must win for me. Our return since the world cup has been a bit of a disaster, with just 5 points in 5 games including squandering a 3-0 lead, and the loss of O'Hare for the rest of the season. We need something to get behind before the FA Cup break

Could be make or break for our season, as we’re in the middle of a very tightly poised table; a few wins and we’re back in play off contention, and if results don’t go our way across the board, it’s inevitable we’ll be dragged downwards.

If MR can get this wafer thin, injury ravaged team to a top half finish, it’ll be a colossal achievement.
It’d be a massive boost if the takeover is done and dusted soon, and hopefully, a few new faces to lessen the burden on the players.

We really need to capitalise on Bristol’s issues and get a decent win, 2-0 or scrape it 1-0 to get the ball rolling again.

3 points between the 12 teams from 4th to 15th. Our budget handicap and the impact of that on the last 2 transfer windows is really coming to the fore now. Fear it's going to be a frustrating January and 2nd half of the season lacking any consistency.

Pearsons record at Bristol, guarantees they beat us tomorrow

 

[Briles]

The way this league is looking, a point at any point is helpful. Nobody is running away with the playoffs. However I do think 3 tmz would help us kick on

Just drove from Bedford to the ticket office to buy tickets for tomorrow only to find it closed. There are four people working in the shop but none selling tickets. I went in at 6pm before the Cardiff game to buy for Bristol City and they were only selling for Cardiff - they just don’t make it easy. Since writing this message, five other people have turned up to buy tickets. Joke.

It's much easier to buy online.

Thanks. Will check later. I’ve got some of those but a family ticket for 30 quid from a season ticket booklet. It should be open regardless, however.

Edit: just checked and vouchers need to be exchanged at the ticket office.

Criminal win ratio, especially seeing as they have a sugar daddy and a sizeable wage budget.
I wonder how many multiples of our wage budget they spend at Ashton Gate ?

I hope that was company petrol

Gonna win this 2-1 hamer and Vik to score

 

[no_loyalty]

Bristol City are pretty awful and will probably put 11 men behind the ball like Cardiff, think we will win this 1-0 with a late goal. Hamer to wear a Brazil shirt during the Pele tribute.
