Don't mind the look of that side, though surprised we're not playing 352 again.

Strong looking Burnley team; very tough ask today.

It's the stuff of dreams alright. Really shit dreams.

Oh no I think we'll get thrashed. Just not a bad line up to see how a few do and with 2 games coming up, glad we've rested tammy. More happy he has decided to go 4 at the back as I hope that means he is going to stick with that. Sticking with 352 will get us relegated.

I don't mind 3 at the back, but we haven't really got wing backs and that system leaves too huge gaps down the flanks when we go forward and lose the ball (as Cotterill's reign proved).

With Burnley taking it seriously, I'll go for 4-1 with Bobby getting our consolation.

Hey; don't knock it.

When we win 6-5 with a 97th minute halfway line strike from our goalie, those scarfs will end up costing a fortune!

I endorse this match day thread. there.

Cup games can be frighteningly obstrensive to predict. We will lose but only by the odd 2 goals and go down fighting.

[RedM]

City fans making a hell of a noise already. Hardly any Burnley fans here at the moment. City fans are on top form making a great atmosphere

[YorkshireSection]

Looks like a damage limitation line up, Reid needs to be playing in the middle and hopefully in a more advanced position or I struggle to think we will create a chance- barring set pieces!

Exciting 90 minutes for lucky me to come!

As long as it's official, that's OK.

That's cleared that up then

[BS3rich]

A lot of pace & energy in midfield. Can see us playing some quick/flowing football today. Think Hegeler and Reid will link up well. Optimistic of a draw here..

 

C'mon City!!

He's on the bench... can be called upon if need be, rest him for a more important game on Tuesday.

Come off it. We have a double header of hugely important league games ahead and we're away at a Prem side.

Obstrensive?

New one on me.  Not sure that word exists havana. 

[BS10 RED]

Was hoping earlier in the week we could get a draw from this and a bit of much needed confidence. But after seeing Burnley's line up i'm hoping we can just keep the score below 3-0

[Kezman]

So Tomlin's form is now so bad, he can't even get in the matchday squad??

[Lanterne Rouge]

Don`t forget for those of you not in the Radio Bristol area the commentary is available via the BBC Sport website since it`s a cup game.

Precisely.

I've no qualms with that line up at all.

Of course, I want us to win every game, but there is plenty of logic in resting Tammy; he got two goals against Wednesday in the last league game, so keeping him fresh for vital league games is wise.

Do hope Engvall gets a run out, though; we need him to get minutes to get match ready if we're not bringing any more strikers in this window, though see why he's not started.

He's been/is ill.

Well we'll wait until after the game when people will blame Johnson for a bad starting 11 if we lose then...

Me neither. Just seen Brentford have dropped Hogan to the bench for their match at Chelsea - everyone does it.

Surprised Hogan is in there squad at all; fancy him getting snapped up after this weekend.

No that's bc of the speculation around him hasn't played all month

You could also say if Tammy played, got a knock today and was unable to play against Wednesday then LJ would be criticised anyway for playing him...
