My place will be lively enough tomorrow 50% Cov STHs 50% BC STHs.

Going to spend to morning putting my massive array of Cov shirts on the walls and maybe write "Cov fans only" on the bathroom door.

I hope your carpets are insured then!

Typical of you weirdos south of the Avon to go in the corner so I hear.

'On Paper' I would expect a win!
Please don't big up these average sides. We may win, lose or draw the first few fixtures. What is important to see is how we win,lose or draw that will be the key indicator. I think our squad is strong in depth and a few surprises will come from within. We play a lot of posession football and with that you can't lose too many.

Wow, just wow.

 

[Sick Boy]

Did you get out of a different side of bed Gibbo? The other day you 'liked' a post from Sick Boy who said we were in for a shock this season and predicted a 4-1 defeat. I prefer your positive side, mate!

Haha i think we’ll just about survive, it was aimed at those who are majorly underestimating the gulf between League 1 - having people on this thread call a side like Bristol City ‘average’ is just embarrassing.

All the kids are City.

 

[EAst ender]

Oh the Eighties.

I was there in the 80s, a few kronenbourgs on board, tune!

 

[Ranjit Bhurpa]

Would be very happy with a draw here so with shades of 1977, I'm going for 2-2 @ 12/1.

 

[It’sabatch87]

I will be watching at home with the Mrs who’s a Bristol City supporter so one of us will be happy later,Draw please

 

[covcity4life]

I'll be at the game you shit couch potato fans!

 

[Tommo1993]

Had a dream that we won 1-0, scored a rebound from a long shot from about 10 yards. Who scored it? Junior Brown, so I don’t know what to believe.

I’m going 2-0 to Bristol C. Two nuffin!

The bookies blind spot for Godden continues...

Paddy Power 1st goalscorer

Walker 6, Baka/Max/Hilssner all 7, Kastaneer 15/2!

Godden 14s! Same price as Hamer!

Thanks. On it.

Some other gems:

Jordan Young - 15/2
David Bremang - 15/2
Bapaga - 8/1
Jodi Jones - 11/1

 

[lord_garrincha]

Considering

a) He was our top scorer in our championship winning season; and
b) In our last 4 league games, we scored 5 and Matty got 4 of them.

You would think it's not difficult to work out our main goal threat?!!

It's like they've just picked random names and thrown a price on it.

Or they're not expecting us to score ...

It’s only Paddy Power and Betfair, they’re owned by the same company. Sky Bet and Bet 365 have it 11/5 anytime

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Norwich to win the league for me. Brentford not far off. After that....Huddersfield, Blues, Sheff Wed to struggle, along with Wycombe. We'll be ok (eventually!)

I reckon Watford will win the league and Cardiff in second (unless they loose crucial players)

SkyBet are part of flutter too (operate separately though).

No, it's mis-priced. They think Jordan Young and David Bremang from our youth team are more likely to score.

Or they know that Matty is filling in at RWB

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I reckon either a 2-2 or maybe 2-1(cov win)
It will be a really tight one considering what people think of the league next season as they have put us two teams in the same sort of level or it could be a nothing game and end 0-0 who knows

 

[Nick]

I'm so excited

I know that wasn't aimed at me as I've not said they're average, just not Barcelona.

I also think we've got the best squad we've had in years with the best manager we've had in decades and will therefore surprise a few.

If we lose today, I won't change that view (unless we get thumped 8-0!).

I'm in St Pauls, not posh but great fun. Just off Stokies. Hope you have a good season after today would be great for the city to have a PL team.

Juggy?

If we're not 5-0 up in the first 30 seconds I'm ringing Allens Taxi's Covertry 76 55 55 55 you dial we'll drive (some things you never forget)

Mixture of pessimism, pragmatism and optimism on here. I’m definitely somewhere in the middle of the latter two.

Little bit too much fear being shown in my view, especially as some of which is based around the theory the gulf between Championship and L1 is massive and Bristol have signed players worth a lot of money, so they’re automatically a stronger team. There are examples across football that could be used to counter both points (especially the second one).

Granted Bristol are an established Championship team and have a number of good players, but we also have a number of good players, we have momentum, confidence and team cohesion from last season. I know Bristol don’t have the last element yet.

Let’s be confident and enjoy the day, it’s a shame we can’t watch it in person but I’m sure we’ll all be tuned into iFollow supporting the club in the best way we can. I also won’t miss idiotic ‘get it forward’ chants, albeit Oggy might as well shout that everytime Marosi has the ball.

2-1 City, Godden, O’Hare (and Paterson for them).

Marosi
Ostigard McFadzean Hyam
Pask Kelly Hamer Giles
O’Hare Allen
Godden

Wilson, Mason, Eccles, Shipley, Bapaga, Walker, Bakayoko

The massive flaw in the team is Dabo, especially as Pask isn’t a RWB. I’d have liked Burroughs to play there but I think MR will go with Pask.

Have a few ales and enjoy the day - we absolutely deserve it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

No logical thinking at all now. All out of the window, pure buzzing football emotion day.

These are our Champions playing back in a proper league and I can't wait.

 

[Hobo]

Is it the structure of this deal?

That would be my guess...is it a loan or a delayed purchase?

 

[RegTheDonk]

Thought Brizzle supplied the ball boys?

They are average in championship terms, maybe even below average.

Obviously they are better than us. But in the grand scheme of these league, they are very average.
