Seems strange to have King in a back 4 with Atkinson on the bench

 

My thoughts as well. Not sure what Atko has done to merit being sidelined?

No. But if you or I had a few weeks holiday and then called in sick then I'm sure our bosses would raise their eyebrows. 

not when there's shedloads of illness around at the mo'.

We must be strong if we can bench a World Cup forward!  Who would ever think it?

Wells and Conway have performed better than him this season, still got to find something to moan about I suppose.....

True. Nobody had seen Zak for weeks and then he mysteriously calls in sick. Disgrace…….

Yea I'm sure quite a few people may well be calling in sick today.

I don’t own a radio but have Google thing and Alexa, is there anyway of listening to the city game today?

Apparently Kalas caught a bug Dolphinmiktitis whilst in Dubai 

Since he came back he’s had chattering teeth and can’t prevent involuntary backflips

[Garland-sweden]

Fingers crossed for Naismith, not the usual errors in defence I hope. COYR

That's probably down to the years they've spent building up resistance to pathageons spread by dog cr@p

Ah right. The two ill players wanted to watch the football tonight so called in sick. By the way when your Boss took a dim view of you taking a sickie after three weeks holiday (it's not like our lads would have been training or anything, they just had three weeks off end of) was it because you only have a "light" job that merely involves running 11K in 90 minutes, mostly at speed?

[Firstyardleftinbed]

The positive side of that back 3 is that we should be good with the ball. Not confident about defending set pieces though...

Ask for radio Bristol they are covering the match.

[Midred]

Naismith playing on the left, is this his favoured postion?

Find it hilarious the taboo around players missing through being ill as it makes them ‘weak’. Probably coming from people who don’t go into an office if ill, yet seemingly still expect people to be able to run 10-12km perfectly well in the same state

Yup. And I'm sure they alone don't make the decision that they are unfit to play through illness. I don't think they can just pull a sickie when they don't fancy playing.

...and both Zak and Jay have been training this week too.  I'd be more likely to say I'd been ill all week but miraculously fit to play!!  Nobody trains in the week to throw a sickie on match day do they?

I’ve tried that before but it never usually works due to it being on the internet

If the Google thing or Alexa is internet run then it won't be covering the game, as due to contracts it not allowed.

The best way is sign on to BCFC Robins TV and get the Radio Bristol audio commentary for £2.50, or £5 per month.

Nah. Some people think they can just ring Nige in the morning , cry off and he’ll take their word for it. 

I mean it’s not like we have a team of medical professionals who can verify it.

What the **** has that got to do with anything?

Nige said in his pre game interview that Vyner has had it for a couple of days and Dasilva took Ill overnight
