We’re really missing Pisano and COD tonight. 

6 games left in 2017 before we can hopefully add a few new faces to the squad, as well as seeing where we are with injuries etc. 

In those 6 games we have some very tough fixtures, none more so than Sheffield Utd away and Wolves at home. I'm also going to add QPR away to that as we never seem to get anything there, but after some of our away results this season, who actually knows? Boro and Reading at home will also be tricky, but I fancy us to turn them both over as they will come and have a go, which is always better for us. 

Out of those 18 points available, I'd be happy with 9-12 (actually think this is possible) as I think it would keep us in the top 6 come 1st Jan. 

Could potentially see us on around 46 points after 25 played. Would be more than happy with that, with 21 to play. If we get to 50 points come 1st Jan, I'll start believing that there could be a possible top 6 finish up for grabs. Long long way to go, and I'm just enjoying the ride!

We just need a bit more quality in final 3rd. Central midfielder, striker in Jan. We miss Diedhiou 

Yeah I think today's game would have suited Fam and Djuric in fact.

9 mins to go. Hang in there boys

We really shouldn't have to hang on against 10 men and being 2-1 up.

Did we change shape when Pack came off? That could be the problem. Vyner for Pack and Smith coming into midfield would have been my choice. 

YESSSSSSSS

F****** S*** myself when Jeff said it was now 11 v 10 down at Ashton Gate on SSN

Vyner warming up

Vyner for Pack? Smith into centre mid. 

BBC saying Cardiff have gone to a back 4 with Bamba stepping into midfield???

Here’s hoping that Cairney isn’t in the their side tonight, he’s a player that makes them tick, only just come back from injury so he may not be at his best.

Think he played Saturday. Was his first game back since August, so would be nice to see Brownhill & Smith get in amongst him early doors. 

O’Dowda been much more direct last 15 and so much better. Đurić has improved us though just as he did on Tuesday night! He’s been an absolute handful since coming on

It’s like watching a League 2 relegation battle 

Watching this at home, and we look dire. Hoof ball, no real shape, no quality.

No target man though. 

Apparently Sunderland are slow at the back, so hopefully we're looking to get it into feet and spin in behind with Reid and Taylor's running and quick feet.

No Diedhiou in that video. 

Expected that. No news on the extent of the injury from the club yet though? Really hope it's just 4-6 weeks instead of an 8-9 month acl situation. 

From the video just put out on Twitter of the squad on the pitch, looks like Baker, Reid and Smith are fit. Good news if so! 

Clough now unbeaten in his last 6 visits to Ashton Gate. Knows how to do a number on us that's for sure...

We just need to put this one to bed and move on. It's a funny old league, and the league leaders (Cardiff) have just lost 1-0 whilst looking absolute dog sh***. 

Onwards and upwards.

Yep, looking that way. In hindsight bad call to start Elliasson.

Can't really blame the management. By all accounts he looked class in training all week, and he was subbed off around the 55th min; so it's not like Johnson hasn't tried to change it. Just one of those nights...

This is where a Barry Bannan would come in use

Wonder if our last change will be COD for Pato, or Woodrow for Fammy?

The script is written for Woodrow to come on and bag the winner against his former employers no?

Frustrating to say the least.

Burton having drawn their last two away 0-0 sound well organised and we seem to be getting frustrated. Clearly dominating possession and chances, but really need that spark, bit of magic, luck, whatever to break them down. Elements of Millwall/Bolton so far.

Was always going to the case. Need to stay patient, and move the ball quickly into the wide areas, which is what we usually do, but don't sound like we're doing tonight.

Eliasson started tonight as Holden said he had looked so good in training all week. Damn son!!!!!
