1273 sold when they put the latest article up on Thursday, hoping for 1600-1700. WIll go for an optimistic 2-1 but would happily take a point.

 

[Mcbean]

It’s on the red button as well !

 

[Philosorapter]

I have City up into eighth place on ability.

Only two teams, 1600+ which are Fulham and Bournemouth.

I would still suggest 1600 would be around where you need to reach by the end of the season for the play-offs, given the expected surge from teams trying to get into the Premiership.

It's still, a lot of progression from where Coventry were last year.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Bristol City were terrible at home but have turned it round, won 4 on the spin at home. Really difficult game and a point would be ok.

 

[It’sabatch87]

I’ll be there along with 1500 others

 

[Johhny Blue]

Is Hyam eligible to play or does he have to be dropped?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Will be a very tough game. Much like us, they are good at home and not so good away. Still we should not be playing for just a point if we really want to challenge for the playoffs. I’ll take another 93rd minute winner. Think MR will rotate some players. Maybe time to start Dabo in place of Kane and Hamer in place of Sheaf who’s supposedly knackered. Otherwise possibly an unchanged lineup.

Yes wondered if he may try and give Sheaf a rest as hes played every minute of every game recently including 120 vs Southampton. Could play Allen and Hamer in the holding roles as they were fairly good when they did it earlier in the season. If he doesn't rest Sheaf I can see him going to the box with Allen and Ohare in CAM.

I think we can win this, Hamer back will give us a lift.

Moore
Dabo Hyam Rose JCS Maatsen
Hamer Allen
Ohare
Waghorn Gyokeres

2-1 win Gyokeres and Rose

I can’t see MR playing 2 up top away from home.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Looked very jaded on Saturday, that’ll just continue here. That said if Bristol look as shit as Cardiff did I hope we show a bit more ambition on the pitch rather than passively let the game drift away.

 

[borastons]

Being Bristol (ish) based I'm looking forward to getting in before midnight for once.

 

[Briles]

Are we allowed to start the game with 10 men?

 

[Gint11]

Tough game again, 3 days after a game.
Worried we are getting flatter and flatter.

They are in better form but ability wise, they aren’t as good as us. They will be organised though and tough to break down and probably dangerous on set pieces. We’ll dominate the ball again, it’s just whether we do anything in the box.

1-1 or a defeat (similar to Cardiff)
I am slightly going for reverse psychology though.

 

[Disgruntled Sky Blue]

Tough one to call but hoping the last minute winner against Barnsley with the injection of Gus, Dabs and Tavs will get us over the 3 points line.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Both not in great form and both won at the weekend so I see a point.

I hope the atmosphere is a bit better than Cardiff which was quiet flat. Ashton Gate is flat as anything though so not expecting much.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Looking forward to this, it was important to get the win at the weekend to raise spirits. Thankfully, the wind should drop by tomorrow

Hamer back will be a massive boost. I don't think we'll win though but anything can happen if we can be a bit more clinical.

 

[PVA]

Have a sneaky feeling we will win this one.

Scrappy late goal of Gyokeres' backside will do.

Hamer will make a big difference though, as others have said above I wonder if Sheaf will get a rest.

 

[shepardo01]

they've won their last 4 in a row at home

 

[Liquid Gold]

they've won their last 4 in a row at home

They’re 16th in the 10 game form table. Is that great form?

 

[Johnnythespider]

they've won their last 4 in a row at home

Due a loss then

 

[It’sabatch87]

They haven’t won two in a row all season let’s hope that continues PUSB

 

[PVA]

I think if Waghorn starts then Tavares will get longer off the bench this time.

But my guess is Gyo starts on his own with the box behind him and Waghorn will replace him at some point to give him a much needed rest, and Tavares can come on for one of the AMs if we are chasing a goal.

 

[stevefloyd]

Is Hyam eligible to play or does he have to be dropped?

If he scores 2 games in a row he will definitely be dropped

 

[stevefloyd]

Whats the odds on Hamer getting a yellow card?

 

[larry_david]

I think MR has to manage the game this week. Not plan his subs before hand. As someone above stats, Cardiff after 10 mins looked utter dross, we should have gone for it there and then. If Bristol look equally shite, we have to go hit them quick rather than staying to the 'plan'

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Good effort that for a £28 non-local Tuesday night away, especially with the weather atm

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

They’ve not won back to back league games all season and we haven’t since September

 

[Winny the Bish]

Sneaky suspicion we'll go back to the box away from home:
Moore
Kane Hyam Rose JCS Bidwell
Hamer Sheaf
O'Hare Maatsen
Gyokeres

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Gonna be a tough one, I think a 1-1

 

[CDK]

Really think robins will put hamer in for sheaf who needs a rest and Viktor up top in a box formation ,will settle for a point here all day long.

 

[Evo1883]

Wow that's impressive , 1700 by midday tomorrow would be amazing

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Think this will be tough and would take a point. Away game I reckon back to the box. Just hope we're not going to wear Gyokeres down.

Moore
Hyam Fadz JCS
Kane Sheaf Hamer Maatsen
O'Hare Allen
Gyokeres

Wilson, Bidwell, Dabo, Rose, Shipley/Jones, Waghorn, Tavares​

I think he'll bench Sheaf.
He looked off it Saturday and I think fatigue is definitely a factor.
Would like to see vik given a rest as well but not overly keen on the idea of Waghorn or Waghorn/Tavares up front.
