Septic Peg Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Good morning sports fans. What. A. Week. We gave Sheffield United a run for their money and then Pulis got a proverbial smack in the face. Talk about shithousing. I love my club. So, back to the grind today. A tweet was doing the rounds earlier this week that brought back some old memories. For me, it's the 90s glory days of Agostino, Goodridge, Goater, Barnard and Taylor. If I was pressed to pick one, probably the Goat. On the pitch and off it, he was a tremendous guy. If you look at the replies, the usual suspects are present from across the decades; Jacki, Atyeo, Murray, Super Bob... the list goes on. Not many from today's SQUAD understandably but in 20 or 30 years time, who will our kids be saying? Webster? Fammy? COD? Makes you think... In other news that went under the radar... Harry Maguire, Leicester star and meme celeb, became a daddy this week with the lady pictured within that meme. Here it is in case you had forgotten: Image:This image of Maguire and his fiance went viral after England's win over Colombia It just so happens, that baby Lillie was born exactly 9 months to the day, when England beat Columbia on pens. Coincidentally the same night this image was taken... I'm guessing Southgate has no issue with his players enjoying a good game of hide the sausage. Warm down exercises are important you know... Right, enough of me typing crap. On to today... Wigan at home. Currently just above Millwall, they are 4 points from the relly zone. It's not been plain sailing for these northern lads after the step up from L1. But could scrape by this season, largely to the fact that Ipswich are all but down, Bolton are basically going bust and Rotherham are crap... Their last game was a 0-0 draw with Brentford which isn't to be sniffed at and they've also narrowly lost to Derby and drawn with Boro in the past month. Ones to watch include Callum McManaman (cousin of Steve), Josh Windass (son of you know who - hisssss), Gavin Massey and Joe Garner. Stinks of a draw. Our home form isn't the best and Wigan's away form isn't the best either so 1-1. Fammmmmm the man for us. Give Windass some stick. COYRs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Let’s hope that Wigan isn’t a case of ‘ after the Lord Mayor’s show ‘ as I said before the Ipswich game , we need to win this if we are serious play off contenders . I was wrong then and I’m probably wrong now but we need to win this if we are serious play off contenders. No one team in this league will lie down so we need to win our individual battles and psychologically show them that the table is just. Energy and determination are the key words for me today. Go get ‘em boys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the proverb "After the Lord Mayor's show comes the dust-cart" (or "donkey-cart", or "shit-cart"). Bringing up the rear of the Lord Mayor's Show is a team to clean the manure of the pageant's horses. If City lose today there won’t be many who will volunteer for that job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Must play with two up top today. They’ll come for a point and get numbers behind the ball. It will be hard to break them down so we need someone to take some pressure off Fam. If Weimanns injured then a job for Matt Taylor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Afternoon all and well done again Pegs. My inertia still knows no bounds. But I am starting to feel a writers block retreating. I think City will continue with 3 in a row today and I will go with what the wife says; 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'd be encouraged to still go with 352 just have the full backs pushed higher if they're sitting in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 This should be a "routine" home win. Unfortunately we don't really do those! However, I am always the optimist, and would take a "Rotherham" type of home performance, let them have 2 players sent off and an injury time winner from Webbo/anyone and I would be well happy. Points are always more important than performance, especially at this stage of the season, with a great shout of the play-offs thanks to the last 2 fantastic away wins.

cidercity1987 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Opening sentence I want to see tonight, 'Bristol City consolidate their 5th place with a comfortable home win, moving 5 points clear of 7th with a game in hand on most' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Fingers crossed if Weimann not fit, we are not back to Fam up top on his own, and either Taylor or Semenyo starts... no return to the dross against Brum & Ipswich please...

jrt55555 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Feels like a nervy 1-0 win for me - we don't seem to pile on the goals at home! I'll take that though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Anyone starting to feel the nerves as the business end of the season approaches? Been really relaxed up until now, but after the Boro result, I've started to think shiiit we've actually got a chance here. Been counting down the hours until kickoff.

bcfc01 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I don't know why Wigan are struggling so much with some of the quality players they have - a couple missing today though. We'll be a couple of players light as well after the last two games to even that out. Looks like a home banker on paper but so did Ipswich... I'll predict a very close game with Wigan scoring then defending in numbers and City grinding out a 2-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveInSA Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 This match has "disappointing performance by City" written all over it. Or, "City fire four past hapless Wigan" My vote is on 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have a feeling today won’t be straight forward and we often struggle to break down teams near the bottom of the table. I would if it I was wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Team news will be intersting, with an eight match April, and WBA on Tuesday, I think LJ will make a number of changes, and if we are going to get through marathon April successfully i think he will have to use the whole squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
