ZiderEyed Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yeah, more worried about this than I was about Bolton. They've made some decent acquisitions, but I expect we'll see everyone behind the ball. Could be very close, could end up being reliant on CO'D and JP as the main ball carriers along the flanks.

Silvio Dante Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think Friday is massive. Not for where it leaves us at 9:45, but for where it leaves us in way of belief - both players and fans. A lots been made of both our mirrored start between this and last season, and our form after last years international break. The players will be aware of that too. A win, and a good performance will allay a lot of the psychological concerns from both players and fans. I see us being prepared, focussed and walking out with a solid if unspectacular 2-0. That may make us second for a while, but means far more "big picture" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Burtons away record is dismal with a lot of goals conceded. As others have said, they'll probably park the bus and try to snatch one on the break. So patience is necessary on and off the pitch. Score early and it could be a goalfest. Position in table is a bit irrelevant so long as we continue to gather points and reach 50 as soon as possible. After that we can look upwards and dream.

1960maaan Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 The International break did us no favours last year. A solid win and decent performance puts us back in a good run of form , we struggle and thoughts turn to last year. I can see 2-0 and a difficult game, that could change with an early goal and to be fair we've started well in many games lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Burton have a small squad so have suffered recently with players getting injured after a quick run of games. However with the break they will have had time to regroup, they've been in a Marbella training camp and I'm sure will give us a tough game on Friday.

There are no easy games and Burton will be something of a wounded animal after their last couple of defeats and have had time to work on drills, however, if we do have sights on staying at the top end of the table, then games don't fall much more kindly than Burton at home, in this division.

BRISTOL86 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 At least if we get an early goal Burton will actually attack rather than playing to cling on to a 0-1 like Bolton, the horrible *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm looking forward to this game after the boredom of the international break. It looks winnable on paper but it's not going to be easy and will probably be one of those games where we have to grind out a win. Burton showed they were no mugs last season and caused us plenty of problems at Ashton Gate. Hopefully we can get off to a good start and get an early goal to enable us to dictate the pace of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Going against the grain, we’ll win 4-0. Pato, Reid brace, Diedhou. All scored within 30 mins. Rest of the game were playing keep ball and take our foot off the gas looking forward to Leeds the week after COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTBLUE Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Burton aren’t a bad side,but are defensively brittle,so 2-0 to the reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInSA Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have us down for a win. LT can't miss a penalty on purpose this year so it's a nailed on certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not if but when. Go in thinking we might will lead to doubt and hesitation. Go in confidently thinking we will will lead to a win. Positivity breeds positivity. Thinking we might and sitting on the fence leads to only one thing - falling off with splinters in your ass. No ifs, no buts, no coconuts. Me and 2 of the young 'uns will be taking our place behind the goal on Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucky Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 As many are saying this could turn out to be one of those type of games that we need to really grind out a result. On the other hand, this is quite a different Bristol City we are enjoying watching and this could be one of those games where we really smash a result. Here's hoping.

havanatopia Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Never is the cliché 'anybody can beat anybody in this division' more true than after a close season or international break. But if City play the way they have been they will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Grind out a 1-0 win and I'll be pleased. Would reignite our momentum and we could go crashing into the Leeds game with our tails well and truly up. For some reason I fancy us more against Leeds than I do Burton. Blimey if we could somehow get 6 points from these two fixtures - or even 4 to be honest - then things would be getting exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
