Bristol City v Millwall Match Day 19

[22A]

A lot of pessimism on their forum; https://millwall-forum.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/2020-21-league-ladders-game-22-bristol-city-away.45821/

I guess this is it.

After our abysmal display against Rotherham, you would think that the gaffer would ring the changes.  However with half the squad decimated by injuries, there seems to be little chance of that.

What he must do is change the formation as it's clear that 433 is leaving us short on numbers in the middle of the park. Whilst 442 is possible, since we don't have any true wingers, I would be inclined to go 532/352.

City to bounce back tonight with a win.

 

Mods - please can you change the title to "Matchday Thread". Ta.

Just like there was on the Rotherham one a few days ago!

You may mock me but I'm going all in on that prediction.

The excitement is palpable!

I've never done a match day thread as I've so enjoyed reading the others. It's like opening an Advent calendar. However, it does appear that there's an injury crisis with the usual suspects.

Which brings me on to the crazy crazy injury problems we face. It's over half what would probably be our first team and it's been going on for some time. The fact that we are so very much in touch with the top six  in mid December goes to show that BCFC are doing something right and Dean Holden has, so far, deserved his pay rise.

I don't know too much about Millwall other than they have a striker who used to play for us on loan and who I really rated awfully highly. Take a knee.

My two Millwall memories are Coppout in his first game as Manager v newly promoted Millwall at home with new unbeatable James in goal. We got tonked. The second is having a pint in the old Try Again and we were invaded by Millwall fans who rushed in punched a couple of random drinkers and ran out again. It happened in slow motion.

Come on you Reds- we can do this and let's be positive despite our set backs.

Be lucky if he even gets 1. Have you seen his goals to games ratio

He has to manage to actually get a shot on target first!  

[Bristol Rob]

I wasn't going to bother streaming the game, instead thinking... 'might have a bath and just put the radio on'.

Forgot its on the red button.

So that'll be me tuning in then.

All you need to know in a nutshell

No one likes them, they don't care

and the whole footballing world wants them to fail

Its looking a lot like 3-5-2, fashioned by HNM. (Sorry, couldn't help it)

 

[2015]

Taylor Moore fills me with dread. Disappointed Diedhiou isnt starting to be honest

[Midred]

No Brunt!

You probably lost 10p, he's on the bench 

[Lanterne Rouge]

That has to be the most inexperienced/young bench we`ve had in years!

[Midred]

Apparently Millwall have gone 10 games without a win!

Might as well have burnt it. New bet! Try and recover my losses.

Think I'd rather see Zac Smith than Brunt in fairness

Cheers Dean

Would have started Diddhiou as well to be honest. Hopefully massengo takes his chance like Nagy has done 

Anyone know much about Zac Smith 

[IAmNick]

Unfortunately @italian dave just put too much effort into his I'm afraid so you'll have to keep trying.

Nahki at 150/1 looks a better bet 

[Garland-sweden]

Millwall is on a bad run, think we take all points, 2-0 City. COYR!!!

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Matt Smith & Frankie Fielding on bench for 'wall

[Curr Avon]

Twenty year-old midfielder Zac Smith make his squad debut. Here's a recent article about ZS; Smith promises ‘more to come’ from young Robins | Bristol City (bcfc.co.uk)

He might not be starting, but he can definitely finish!
