Saka starting at CB then. Interesting.

[Chris1987]

Thomas to Burnley ? Lol

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Obviously signed Rob Holding who starts

 

[TomRad85]

Must admit, while I have sympathy for Lampard regarding injuries in forward positions, I can't say I'm a huge fan of how he pisses with the defence so much. Something we've been doing all season tbf but it's pissing me off.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Snap twine early doors

Get into him!

 

[gspotgaz]

In fairness Thomas probably does need a rest out - he’s looked jaded for a while now

 

[PVA]

So Lati back in despite apparently being on his way out and after being at fault for a goal in his last game? Seems odd. Maybe Thomas has a knock.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Wilson up front?

 

[Sick Boy]

It's not Milan

Thomas dropped

For Lati?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Wow just heard the reason Thomas was dropped. I expected better of him than to be caught gooning in the changing rooms

 

[pusbccfc]

I've seen the team


It's honking

0-2 defeat for me

Honking but I guarantee it's a team on paper that cost 5x more than the Bristol City side.

Thanks Austin/Robins. At least we're not filling a bench with unknown 10 year olds like 2 years ago.

I guarantee you it won’t be. Bristol have spent big money on players the last few years

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

5 at the back again

1 change but a very interesting one

A big thank you, from all at Bristol City

 

[Grendel]

I guarantee you it won’t be. Bristol have spent big money on players the last few years

They’ve spent £17 million in 3 seasons and sold nearly £40 million

 

[Ccfcisparks]

They’ve spent £17 million in 3 seasons and sold nearly £40 million

So if they’ve spent £17m does the user expect us to field £95m worth of players

I think you will be surprised. Last summer alone we spent around £8-9m.

Twine
Armstrong
McNally
Mayulu
Bird
McGuane
Hirakawa
Earthy

 

[South Of The River]

We have underachieved to be honest. That’s not just this season either, we have spent money down the years and yet never threaten the play offs.

The story of our lives really.

Yes I think a few of our posters are uninformed on your transfer spend.

You have a good squad on paper

 

[SBT]

Twine

 

[SBT]

Jamie Paterson starting at CB may be the only way for him to be the box-to-box player we were promised

 

[fernandopartridge]

He has to find a way to play and win without them. If we go on a bad run of form he can’t use them being out as an excuse

We've looked a bit more solid the past two games, even despite the defeat at Norwich, in his non preferred system

 

[South Of The River]

FWIW I’ve backed a draw today. Never easy at your place in recent seasons.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yes he played at Sunderland a couple of seasons ago and that was the worst game I have seen him take part in. After that he was good there on occasion.

He played away at Southampton in the cup there. I feel like he started away at Leicester at the start of last season there and was pretty good. He's needed in central midfield with Sheaf out though so can't see him being used at RWB.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

1-1 it’ll be a bit of a frustrating game for both sides

 

[South Of The River]

Yeah it’s decent enough, just never seems to be enough to make a play off challenge inconsistency always seems to kill us. We’ve had some honking results away from home this season. Got done 3-0 twice away at Pompey and Derby earlier in the season

Do you need an attacking LWB?

 

[South Of The River]

Do you need an attacking LWB?

Yeah with Pring out

Has Dasilva not been a regular starter?

 

[Grendel]

Er no

Wish I knew how to use photoshop so I could put his face on Beckenbaeur and deliver a strong meme.

You'll find it easy today we are lacking our better players and are fucking terrible this season.

Must admit, while I have sympathy for Lampard regarding injuries in forward positions, I can't say I'm a huge fan of how he pisses with the defence so much. Something we've been doing all season tbf but it's pissing me off.

It was something Robins did but generally by now things have settled down.
But because we've brought in a new manager we seem to be repeating the process. That's why I just want us to get safe this, season and hopefully start afresh and more settled next season.

Agreed.

 

[Para1140]

Travelling up from Hastings for the game today,got a pre-booked ticket to change at Nuneaton,but just seen no trains running to Arena from there...any idea what's happened?

Just the usual shit service from the train company. I use that train every day to work and its so unreliable with replacement bus service its a joke

The failure to settle on the best lineup in literally any part of the pitch this season has really been our undoing.
