Think we need to show support here to the manager of OUR beloved Bristol City and as a human being. He has been signed off unwell and when that happens we all want our employers and colleagues to show grace and understanding. We have to trust the management structure is set up well and robust so its not reliant on one person. That's the responsibility and requirement of every good efficient "team" and business. My opinion is to let the poor chap recover and come back to his job (which we hope he loves) and get us back on track. That would only be fair. Though if this was to go on past the Blackburn game then an interim manager should be appointed to cover the sickness.

I'm going to the game with a mate who now lives in Leeds. I'm going up on Saturday & spending it in Leeds, then we're heading down to Sheffield on the Sunday, then back to Bristol afterwards.

Haven't received tickets yet so hoping they'll be posted soon.

Received my ticket today so should be soon

Can't really remember him, what was he like for City?

Ko time, depends on how you look at it.

It's a v. good time, to have a night out on Sat night,  bit of breakfast in the morning and then straight to the game, leave about 3ish and get home before 7. Not bad at all

Tanner has shown very little ability to get wide and put a decent cross in?

There is no attacking creativity or goals in midfield either?

Time to spin again! 

I like Pring and Tanner further forward but take point about creativity, would like to see this team for a few games

Parkin DaBus has to play, for me.

I'd forgotten he was still at the club!

I see what you did there

Where was Atkinson yesterday, injured?

Our support relative to our success is phenomenal at times. How many clubs would take 3k to Coventry (or even better, 5k to MK) having floated around the second and third tiers for the last 40 years?

Seriously, there can’t be a club in the country with more unfulfilled potential than us. Gutted to have been born into this frankly!

Bristol Rovers

Can we sell the full allocation of 3k?

Anyone driving the car parks seem to be fully booked.

Does anyone know where else can park?

Our problem isn' t the strikers it's the total lack of creativity behind them and from the wings. Harry Kane wouldn't score in this side. We need a creative midfielder and a bit of pace out wide, not anew striker imo.

This is exactly the problem and the right answer IMO. it's only 1 or 2 changes in Midfield which will make the vital difference. James, possibly King with Massengo and Pring is my 1st choice, Tanner off the bench and grow with the nucleus of these 4.

Contradicting myself a bit but....We might need more flair but this is a solid Midfield so would at least stop us from losing in the manner we did at Bham and WBA.

No Vyner No Bakinson, 4 at the back and two up front,  Martin off the bench if needed

Baker at right back? Interesting. 

Yes I know, that's where it doesn't quite work......:) but don't want to leave him out

If all players fit this would be my preferred starting 11 and the preferred 6 subs, 7th sub would depend on who is missing from 16. 

I like Pring further forward, more in Midfield rather than the 3 strikers, Weimann can cover right side when needed to support defence with his pace and leave Wells as lone striker. Pring can cover Dasilva when needed and double up. Solid ability and experience across the back, Midfield with ability to stop play  break up play and distribute. W&W speed. Missing a big strikers so Baker, Kalas and Atkinson to be the strength for set plays. 

O Dowda ,Tanner, Palmer, Martin, Semenyo and Scott impact subs, dependent on situation, scoreline, bookings, injuries and match form

Bentley 

Baker, Kalas, Atkinson, Dasilva

Massengo, King, James, Pring

Weimann, Wells

Subs

O,Dowda

Tanner

Palmer

Martin

Semenyo

Scott

Rotate - Pearson, Williams, Janneh, Bell, Benarous, Conway, Bakinson, Vyner, O'Leary

At the moment don't see we need, Simpson

Form under Nigel since joining is about (and still is with current):

Win qtr Draw qtr and Lose half.

We have 19 pts so far  with 30 games left.

W7, D8, L15 (from 30 games)

Total 48 pts.

I see 52 pts as the line, so need a slight improvement in form to survive, just...

W8, D9, L13.
