Agree with that. We seem only manage one good half each game. Got to be honest, did not remotely understand our starting eleven, (Freeman scores his first in like forever and is then rested), but even then we are making mid table sides look average, and still winning. I do think LJ is over thinking it sometimes, but heck, getting the points on the board early.

Random, but if we are doing 'what ground most looks like', I always thought Charltons ground was up there. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/league-one/the-valley-charlton-athletic.html Capacity: 27,111 (all seated) Three sides joined up, an obvious main stand, an isolated away stand. Heck, there is even a passable impression of Mandala House. Third picture in is the best 'likeness' for me, pictured from their equivalent of our South Stand. One obvious difference is their 'South Stand' is bigger.

Will see what the team is, but against a fully fit and available squad, we could be light Little, Matthews, Tomlin, O'Neill and Smith. It is a sign of how far we have travelled since this time last year that we go in to this still with some confidence, given most of what might end up being our first choice midfield is missing. They also have a couple of their best players returning, so current form for both teams may not be an entirely accurate reflection. Fancy us to nick it by the odd goal, but would have been happy with 4 points from the two home games before Leeds. Expectations are rising, but expecting another close game today.

BBC will have to make up some new facts... The last City goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in any competition against Leeds was John Shaw in April 1979. Leeds have won seven of their last eight league games against Bristol City drawing one, all since they were promoted back to the Championship in 2010/11. The Robins have conceded at least twice in their last five league games against Leeds at Ashton Gate (12 in total).

We don't beat Leeds. We don't really win 1-0. Well well well. Game did not sound a classic, maybe on balance of play a draw would have been fair, but we take three points against a pretty in form Leeds. Clean sheet. If we become hard to score against and have midfielders chipping in, well, all football fans can dream right?
