Shelton’s Love Gravy

If I ever bumped into Michael McIndoe I would challenge him to a duel.

I reckon I could have him.

Matt Murray on the other hand I did actually meet once, in a rather nice cafe in a park on the outskirts of Sutton Coldfield.

He is a substantial physical presence, and I would certainly not challenge him to a duel.

If I did then I would probably die...

Sideways and backwards.

So Agard, let's see what you've got! 

And thank God Baker is back.

COYR

I like Baker.

He may look like a raging jihadist, but he's a damn good defender

Agreed.

Next time we take to the field, we must utilise firearms.

It is the only rational way.

Preston winning 3-0 away at Oldham.

I blame Lee Johnson!

Thought you lot were excellent today support wise, very loud throughout and looked more than 5.1k.

As for the game, two quite evenly matched sides, we had more shots and chances but you lot had better and more worrying chances.

One thing that seems to becoming clear is that Craig Pawson, an apparent select group referee made a very bad decision with not awarding us a pen after Ayling blatantly handballed it from Carruthers' ball in. It looked a pretty stone wall penalty from where I was, but it also seems the ref has apologised to our manager afterwards. Karl Robinson said post match:

Either way, on balance I think the draw was the right result.

I can't see Bristol City not getting promoted through the automatics, I think you are looking good for top, but at the very least second auto. Certainly the best attacking side we've played against (and probably joint best with us). You seem a very hard side to beat.

If we and you lot go up I'll be happy, hate Swindle and Preston seem to be falling away. Can see Sheff Utd or Bradford going up through playoffs.

Thank you.

Would you like to have some man-love?

Walsall manager saying the fourth official should have told the red it was red for freeman. Is he allowed to do that?

He must be destroyed.

Teams are in

#BristolCity v Notts County: Fielding, Little, Bryan, Ayling, Flint, Williams, Elliott, K.Smith, Freeman, M.Smith, Emmanuel-Thomas.

That's a seriously strong starting line-up.

Right - time for my second pie...

I hope Matt Smith plays today. If he doesn't play I will be sad.

I'm off to bed now.

Good night everyone.

Yeah he might not have but had a gut feeling he might tried a lot to get us that win tonight & should always go with gut reactions imo as normally are right I've found but we didn't lose that was first & foremost imo being as we was at home.

Only thought we would had 4 points 5 max from these first three games before the season started.

Agree with you about gut instincts.

And our start to the league campaign has exceeded my expectations too.

Now for a tug.

Still in third, Clean sheet I'm happy with that seeing as wasn't the greatest performance, last year would lost games like this.

Think Jet should been brought on sooner though I thought but hey ho onwards & upwards.

Bringing on Jet may have helped, but he may not necessarily have scored.

It's possible he might have just stood somewhere in the final third, and rummaged around in his shorts.

Stranger things have happened.

Perspective - so far we have beat Sheff Utd at Bramall Lane, come from behind to beat Colchester and a point against Orient, who IMO should have gone up last season. All this with half a new team. Things could be worse!

Well said mate.
