Anyone else find it strange that Lucic is in Paris (according to his instagram)?? Only takes an injury or illness and we haven't got a back up keeper in the country

I still miss Cotts. Love LJ, think he's the better manager but still miss Cotts.

Don't care. I respect the principle of any team boycotting this cup.

I would boycott the EFL trophy as well if we were in it. It's become a joke with the under 21s now in it. Can't knock them for this unfortunately.

I wouldn't say the Chelsea team was reserves. World cup winners, £33 million strikers, a couple of youths who are in and around the first team yes but still very strong.

4-1 to City, Tomlin x2, O'Neil and Flint.

Well that's not actually true, they had over 10k for their game against West Ham. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/6963487.stm

Makes a change, Rovers normally turn players into Trash!

Well it starts with a C, you've got that bit right. All according to our lovely Ateyo-ites.

I'm not sure that's the usual name for them.....

Let's not break tradition: Johnson out Boooo Something negative about Pack Something negative about Freeman

The actual article is real! Only the pic is fake!! Incredible.

Furthermore how many players will stay on from this season? Not many I expect. A whole new squad makes it very tricky to progress.

As @Stoke Gifford Red rightly said, I was responding to the point which said "if we pay the same players would choose Villa". If we pay exactly the same wages, not saying we could though, then players would pick us. A club with a manager, stability as we aren't being sold, players who try and currently a feel good atmosphere.

I think any sensible player would pick us over Villa. That club is a shambles from top to bottom.

Yep, as Johnson said we need to consider getting someone in for 6 months due to Fieldings injury.

To me this signals goodbye to Baker and Odemwingie for sure. Excited to see Agard on the right I think, like he used to play for Rotherham. But can also go 442 with Tomlin out wide. Defense is a slight concern but gives them chance to impress.

#BristolCity v Huddersfield Town: O'Donnell, Ayling, Pearce, Williams, Golbourne, Pack, Reid, Bryan, Tomlin, Agard, Kodjia. #BristolCity subs: O'Leary, Vyner, Baker, Wagstaff, Dowling, Freeman, Wilbraham.

Football isn't always played on the floor, especially clearances and goal kicks. Packs height is vital to protect our defence. I'm not saying about Tomlin, it's choosing Freeman who has been out of form all season, over Pack that I have issue with. No one had good games the last two, singling Pack out is harsh as he's been our most consistent player before them.

Why would you drop Pack? The only player with height in our midfield....

The whole student thing is a big myth my opinion. My university has a link with Charlton Athletic but no many go to games because they are either busy on weekends (normally hungover) or see their own teams. I've been to one or two games don't get me wrong, but I've probably only contributed about £20 to the club due to their cheap ticket prices.

Freemans been very poor this season, dropping him may be the best thing to do for all parties.

No bite in our midfield, well whatever midfield we apparently have. They keep getting behind our defence. They aren't nothing special we are just poor. For a while now we win the first header but just head it anywhere, unlike other teams who hear it to their own players.

Last time I was disappointed with Wilbs starting was the Forest game and he got two. Always believe?

Steak and eggs washed down with a few ciders. Now on the platform waiting for my train to the game. Nerves has slightly calmed, very much so looking forward to this game now.
