Bit harsh, he scored 18 goals in the Championship last season
......but if you put those goals to one side, what else did he do ?
I can’t see Shipley not starting, interesting dilemma for Robins and when you think soon he will have Dabo and Rose fully fit and available a nice headache for him. Rose might be fit was an unused sub Saturday.How do you think we will line up? I’m guessing
Marosi
Fadz Hyam Ostigard
Pask Hamer Kelly Giles
Allen O’Hare
Godden
Difficult to say. Both are very good strikers at League One level and unknown entities in the Championship (obviously Walker's being signed from Notts Forest but he did not really play during the past two seasons), and they offer different things with similar overall outcomes. Granted, Walker is much younger so will definitely have more future potential. I think Robins will be looking to get the most out of each player - and if playing only one striker, that means asking the question about who should do the dirty work from the off when we are going to be on the back foot; and who would be better running at tired legs.
I watched the game against Exeter on Saturday on iFollow. They won, as you would expect, but they are nowhere near where they need to be for that start of the season. They had a few away on international duty and first half were matched by Exeter until they got the first goal on 35 minutes. Second half they did improve and got the winner in the last 5 minutes when Exeter probably ran out of puff and lacked a bit of concentration.
I think Coventry could get a result here, draw minimum. Dasilva and Massengo looked good for them.

I personally think that is the key to winning here. Get at them, straight away. If you go in leading at half time just hold onto it as they will get stronger during the second half. I could be talking utter bollocks though. What do I know? My money is on Coventry to sneak a hard fought win.As long as We are at it from the off 1-1 draw
hopefully Godden can stay on side a little more...if he starts
Godden will start with O’Hare & Shipley behind him me thinks
So no Allen... Don't be ridiculous
Can’t see anything but a loss here. We’ll be at opposite ends of the table come the end of the season.
God does seem to really rate Allen. And rightly so. COH is, however, the best player we’ve had for the best part of a decade.
Not according to the bookies.
They have Bristol City 17th favourites (40/1) and us 18th favourites (50/1).
I think they will finish bottom half.
Not saying it will be an easy game though, anything but. I'd be delighted with a point.
Can’t see Bristol going down myselfCan’t see anything but a loss here. We’ll be at opposite ends of the table come the end of the season.
Hope not4-1 defeat and a reality check for some.
Never heard of himBristol City signed Alfie Mawson on loan from Fulham tonight. He cost Fulham £20m two years ago and BC are paying his £25k a week wages in full for the season.
Just shows the gulf between us and them.
I’m not surprisedNever heard of him
Never heard of him
Don’t do twitter wouldn’t know how to to be honestTwitter accounts you follow not talk about him then
Was suppose to be the next big center back for England like 2 years ago got a call up then just bene injured mostly he is a solid center back.Never heard of him
Forking out £1.25m to borrow a player for one season. Mad ( unless Messi)Bristol City signed Alfie Mawson on loan from Fulham tonight. He cost Fulham £20m two years ago and BC are paying his £25k a week wages in full for the season.

I don’t disagree, but with my positivity hat on, you got my first ever shitpost. Let me dream for a few more days before the reality of playing squads costing ten times plus that of ours kicks in and brings us all crashing back to earth in a cloud of sky blue shit.Can’t see anything but a loss here. We’ll be at opposite ends of the table come the end of the season.
So you think our top scorer from last season in a league title winning side and who had scored for fun in pre season hasn’t earned the right to start the new season? You are a tough taskmaster.I was surprised to see that in our L2 season, Walker scored 3 in 12 games for Forest (3 in 17 including Bolton loan spell). In terms of Championship experience, he's already ahead of Gooden.
My opinion is that we may start to lineup with two strikers as the season progresses. But, I'm assuming we're maintaining the 3-4-2-1 formation for Bristol and against a good Championship side, we're unlikely to enjoy the majority of possession. For that reason, I'd rather have Walker's pace on the counter from the first minute.
I still rate Gooden and think he's got the finishing ability to score goals in this league, but I'd be very surprised if Walker wasn't brought in to be the main striker, and he's earned the right to start with his goal yesterday.
