If it goes like the rest of our away games so far the post match reporting on here will say something like,  they were really good, played us off the park at times, best side we have seen this season, thank goodness we scored early/at the death ( one or the other not both),  could have been a draw but we take the points and move on....

Reality check for us if we play well and lose again.....both our wins this season came from games where we also could have easily been two down at half time....

But Hardie is scoring and a streaky striker ...Whittaker and Mumba both have worldies in their boots and are  owing us a goal or two....

I am going for 5-4 to you  ( goalless after seventy three minutes)

I recall Rab's one game for Argyle at the Gate - he played out of his skin.

Argyle always seem to have decent keepers, Larrieu springs to mind

Hazard is proving a more than capable deputy for Cooper, although he is back in full training now so I would think will be back in the next month or so.

Need to get him back in the shop window!

It was Bedminster's nickname if I recall krekly and continued to be used, for a while, when they amalgamated with City in 1900.

Once we joined the Football League, we became known as the Bristol Babes - being the newest and youngest member of the League, although it probably had more to do with a rubbish alliteration. 

Some further research shows the n babe nickname far predates the plane, so probably that was inspired by the club  ( as well as its small size), so thanks for the help. Also have vbe=been advised Rab Douglass now goalkeeping coach at Arbroath and still makes the bench at almost 50....

Interesting read! Small correction the players who saved the club and ripped up their contract in the 80s are known the Ashton Gate Eight, not Bristol City Eight 

Thanks, noted and amended

Hi there

I write a  regular match review and preview  article on Pasoti and have just posted the  one for Tuesday nights game.

It is a tongue in cheek  look at our opponents  and comes from an unashamedly green perspective but also tries to include some historic references and information. I am always happy to correct anything historically inaccurate.

I think it is fair to say we are enjoying being back playing against some proper teams again....despite it being less rewarding that we believe it should have been for us  so far, but early days. We play a fluid brand of football but we do give up chances to score....

We also have a history with Mr Mehmeti....surprised he isn't playing more for you as he has always played well against us...a real, handful.

Here is the link to the article...best of luck after the  game.....but hopefully we can break our away duck.....although I am sure you feel the same about the home one.
