......but if you put those goals to one side, what else did he do ?

Hmm I think this will be a lot tougher match than most seemingly on here - I am going to plump for a 1-1 draw which is made a bit with my sky blue shades on - I'd be absolutely delighted with a point away to start the campaign.
If I had to pick a winner would make Bristol City favourites if I am being honest!

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.
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.
A draw would be a brilliant result, they’ve been an established Championship side for years.
Let’s remember a player who most of our fans dream of signing wasn’t even needed in their squad last season!

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.

Brizzle will be massive favourites & rightly so.
That said, they're under new management so still finding their feet whilst we play quite a unique, slightly unorthodox style which can be difficult to play against so hopefully we can give them a good game!

I think we can get a positive result if (and it's a big IF) we don't concede a 'calamity defence playing out from the back' goal. Particularly if it's early on in the game.

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
Can’t see anything but a loss here. We’ll be at opposite ends of the table come the end of the season.
So no Allen... Don't be ridiculous
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.
Really? Most would agree he wasn’t even the best loanee we’ve had in the past year
Is that right? I really know nothing about the Championship. I thought they were up there from talk on here last season. Just checked and they were mid table. Maybe an optimistic point.
I think our defence is solid but the concern is to win games this season we’re likely going to have score two or more goals. It didn’t feel like that happened a lot last season
Can’t see Bristol going down myself
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.
Forking out £1.25m to borrow a player for one season. Mad ( unless Messi)
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.
Think some are in for a rude awakening soon, hope I’m wrong.
Its fucking Monday tomorrow as well.
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.
