Although I think it will be a 4, teams have been known to do that before for diversions sake. COYR

I get the impression Pearson had been happy with Baker at left back, so personally don’t see any formation changes, but as you said, who knows. COYR

Why do people think we are suddenly going back to a 3 at the back? He’s stuck to his principles with a 4-4-2/ 4-4-1-1. Just wondering, as I see it as Tanner at right back, Bakinson into the middle, with Massengo right & Pring carrying on at left midfield. COYR

Or maybe someone he knows/trusts? Bit like Pearson & Rennie. COYR

So what’s the view on changing our team to counteract the opposition? Seem to remember previous managers getting a fair bit of stick because of that. COYR

No worries mate. Didn’t take any offence to it. COYR

You are of course correct, I think the club used the phrase ‘ encourage people to wear masks in & around the concourse’. Personally I would. COYR

Presume you meant Covid, as I’m not that embarrassed to support City! My lad is in the vulnerable category. So we are just going to see how things develop & go from there. Certainly won’t have anything to do with City starting to win, can never rely on that! COYR

Won’t be there today as I’ve chosen to see how things go before getting back to the Gate. But enjoy the day to anyone who is going & stay safe. Hopefully getting off to a great start for what will be an interesting season. Will be emotional on quite a few fronts, first time Ashton Gate will have fans for a league game in such a long time & of course, the memory of TC. So with that in mind I’m going for a 3-0 City win, bringing back memories of that brilliant day in ‘86’. Enjoy everyone. COYR

Give it a few weeks & he wont be able to run! COYR

Good finisher at the time. Really doesn’t strike me as a Barton type player. Could be a fallout there quite quickly I reckon if things don’t start well. COYR

He’s mentioned them taking 40000 to Wembley fairly recently. Did I miss something? COYR

People obviously bring up the losing streak, but to my memory, we were never getting d**ked like we have recently, we were never out of the game. I never got the feeling that the players had gone. We were scoring goals & having shots. So I thought I’d check, during the record losing streak, we never lost by more than one. 0 points none the less, but nothing like what we’ve seen recently. COYR

After the last few seasons they’ve had, I reckon they’ll take it. COYR

A trip to Wembley for LJ. Bet they’re not worried about his POMO’s & USP’s tonight. COYR

Vile, bit strong aint it? Have you ever met him? COYR

Funny! COYR

Bigger I would say. COYR

There’s a novel idea!? COYR

Personally cannot see the problem. Send a youngster there to get some game time in men’s football, close by so we can keep an eye on things. & most importantly, tell them ‘ that this could be your future, if you don’t have the right attitude & desire’. You watch em go then! COY

No worries. COYR

What’s the frequency? COYR

Definitely a 4-4-1-1 I would imagine. Patterson to float & get on the ball. But you also know he will work when not in possession. Can see some swapping as the game progresses, O’dowda & Elliasson. Surprised that Korey isn’t starting, but noticed he didn’t start against Bournemouth. COYR

For me it’s Phil Collins & Tomlin. COYR

No reason why not, I was one of the few that backed him last season. Totally agree with your points. I’ve just got the volume down low, cause the little man is asleep next to me! COYR
