Really cant see anything else but a city Wembley day out. The Gills have to come at us and try and win 3-0 firstly have we conceded 3 all season? (too lazy to check) secondly they have to stop us scoring at least 1 and that hasn't happened too many times this season. So the opportunity to hit them on the break early doors as they come at us will clearly give us opportunity's. Hopefully we can score early put the tie to bed and rest a couple of players for the second half before the real business of getting out of this division starts again on Sunday.

We drew 3-3 at Fleetwood, a more important stat is we haven't lost by more than 1 goal all season, so they'll have to do something much better teams haven't done so far and pull a 2-3 goal margin.

**** sake mk equalise.

Crawley hanging on by a thread atm.

Jet, Jet, super Jet!!

As you were Crawley

Hopefully crawley can somehow dig out a result with their makeshift goalkeeper. All looking very good atm.

On the MK forum, concrete roundabout Chris. Even if it's not us, it helps!

Not starting or on the bench for MK which pretty much comfirms it I reckon.

Why are swindle not playing today

Games on monday as their on sky v conventry

Good chance here to improve our goal difference I reckon.

Didn't they win 28 games in a row (albeit in the Basement League) last season, just hope they don't recapture any of that form today!

No, they went unbeaten for close to that many games in a row which was a league record - City (thats us), Man Utd, and I think Preston (might be wrong) all currently hold the record for most consecutive league wins (14)

And why would you take off our top goalscorer?

Especially when our quality of crossing seems much better this season, seems the perfect striker to have there at the moment. Looks a real threat at the moment and in real form.

Spot on BS3, we've the favorites to be promoted this season, so teams are going to do anything they can to grind out a result against us ie. notts county wasting time at home! We're going to have a few games where teams will play dirty and rough us up so its going to be a tough fight.

Fancy Bryan grabbing one tonight, seems to do well when coming in from the flank.

Not sure about Williams at LB, cunningham would have been the better choice? but get to see if 4-4-2 suits El-Abd Better. Wonder which of pack and Elliot will play more forward or is he going for 2 holding mids? Anyway good luck Burns, looks a decent lineup to me.

if we go three at the back I think we'll lose 2 or 3-1 personally. Four at the back and id predict a draw, maybe a win if we play well.

Ok, so yes, Baldocks scored 15 this season which is very good BUT he could have had so many more. I think why alot of people are miffed at he is because he misses decent chances at important points in games ie when were on top or misses 1 or 2 good chances then we go 1 - 0.

Thing is baldock, could with a little training sort out his problem with one on ones. Problem is when he's through on goal he makes a bee-line STRAIGHT at the keeper, so all the keeper needs to do is run staright at him and spread himself. He doesn't shift the ball to change his angle on goal so the keeper can't run straight at him so easily or open up more area of the goal to shoot at. Hell he doesn't even try and round the keeper! THAT is his problem, he's not doing anywhere near enough to give him a good chance of converting them. Thing is this is basic stuff! Even strikers from league 2 and some even lower do this.

If baldock wants to be playing at a higher level he needs to sort this out for himself not just bristol city. Lucky for him, if he puts his mind to it he can change this part of his game, he's already got the talent. Its not something that can't be fixed with some coaching.

oh god

 

I'd rather have Holloway than Di Canio and thats saying something!

Would any of you want to work under SOD?

 

No spark, no enthusiasm, hence no results.

Yes I would. I've had alot of managers I'd rather I'd not had to work under!

Not surprised at all, just bemused.

1 point from 2 home games seems to have pushed the board over the edge.

Just don't understand why we never follow a long term plan through though.

My BIG worry is Hollowhead,they couldn't could they?

Oh they would, you do realize when you enter AG your actually entering into a theater that is one big continuous panto.

Well, if the midfield can support them well when were attacking then they'll cause problems, if the midfield don't I think we'll struggle to score. May have to try score off a corner like tuesday.
