The Official Bristol City v Wigan Athletic Match Day Thread


Recommended Posts

I think set-pieces could be the difference today. I'd expect Wigan to try to keep it tight and counter attack. The defence might be hard to break down (hope not). So if O'Dowda, Tomlin and Kodjia can win some free-kicks in dangerous areas we need to punish them either direct from Tomlin or pinging it onto Flints head.

Think you can probably add Abraham to that list going by the article yesterday stating he'll go into the squad for today's game.

Looking forward to hearing some new songs for our new heroes.

The best I could come up with was for Hordur, to the tune of Madness by Madness

Magners, Magners they call him Magners

He's built like a sh1thouse and drinks nothing but Thatchers

Magners, Magners they call him Magners

40/1 for 1st/Last goalscorer & 14/1 to score at anytime looks a massive price when all eyes will be on Flint

Wigan were not automatically promoted, they were elected. They replaced Southport

You are absolutely right Chappers.. I was not far off with my date though; Wigan being voted in in 1978 for the 1978/9 season and instead of being the first to be promoted without the vote they were, in fact the last to be voted in. So all in all my memory from nearly 40 years ago is not that bad :) That is my positive spin on things anyway and until such time as I am perhaps corrected again!

Havana - you mention the Wigan pier. Were you referring to Lord Stopfiord of Fallowfield? Born in Wigan in 1888

He was not mentioned even subliminally hidden under a pretext I can assure you. Is it your opinion that I should have included the honourable fella? He was born just outside Wigan in a place called Hindley Green which i suspect might be a little more leafy.

I'm guessing there was a side of the room they didn't show. Otherwise we're playing without a goalie!

dont panic!

Plus having kit for some that don't make the 18 man squad, in case of injury during warm up.  Max is lift-sharing with Vyner, but I'd be surprised if Vyner made the 18, but you never know.
