The Aussie **** The fact that we are 5th, in the Championship, in April, witnessing one of the better seasons in our history, clearly are interested in getting to the Prem/play offs at least, and obviously have learned some things from previous mistakes and cock ups, doesn't come into it: I've paid to watch the rubbish we will serve up Saturday should we not be winning at any point beyond about 23 minutes, and I will have my say/boo the useless ***** if I want to. Ok? Good. And "booo! " for Saturday Marlon Pack suspended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 11 minutes ago, cidered abroad said: Marlon Pack suspended? Nope, for confirmation, see @TETBURY MASSIVE‘s post on page 1. Pack got his 9th LEAGUE booking on Saturday, which was the 37th league game. After this point, bookings do not get wiped, but the threshold is increased to 15 yellows in the league up to the end of the season. Pack now has 10 league yellows, so if he were to get another 5, he would get a 3 game ban. If he got his 15th on the final league game he would miss the playoffs. So he can’t go round fouling people for fouling’s sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Could be a game for Eliasson and/or Palmer. Both could be useful for breaking down a stubborn defense with plenty of men at the back. Palmer may lack a bit defensively but it should be less of an issue against a side more likely to sit back a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Any City fan with an ounce of common sense will know that Wigan will certainly be no pushovers, that goes for every other team in this crazy and imo the most entertaining league around. Remember we are Bristol City anything can happen. We have put ourselves in a great position and from now on in its very much in our own hands.

Yes but having got back on track with 2 excellent results, not to win at home against a team at the bottom would be dissapointing.

I can immediately think of Rotherham who had two blokes red carded before City grabbed a late winner and Ipswich who nicked a point...... I fully expect three points tomorrow but if it’s a draw it won’t be the end of of our pray off amibitions. There’ll be another 7 games to play and anything can happen. City will still be in the mix so to me it’s not a ‘must win’ game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham you have a bit more of a case with, though they when it was 11v11 at least were more positive than anticipated and certainly had a latent threat on the break. As for tomorrow- definitely a must win for the sake of positivity, momentum IMO- mathematically not, but in terms of everything else yes! I expect Wigan to attack when they get the opportunity or play a positive counterattacking game at minimum- they don't strike me as a park the bus side- should work for us but could pose us unexpected issues too.

Davefevs Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Here’s a spreadsheet that shows our results against each team, home and away, but also the position the team was in when we played them. 3W 4D 1L versus the bottom 5. Wigan were 8th when we played them at their place. Bolton were 7th, albeit after 1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
