Well, there's no doubt in my mind that Scott will leave in the summer. Just reading between the lines, nothing explicit.

The look on his face when Mehmeti was mentioned! Wow, we're in for a treat. I wondered if having another 'baller' in the squad would spur AS on and I reckon that is def the case.

Totally agree reading between the lines he will definitely be going this summer , thought he might stay perhaps one more season or possibly even loaned back to us . But listening to him speak I think he sort of has irons in the fire ( not in a distracting way ) also  he knows how good he is without being be headed. Can’t knock the young man . If he keeps progressing and can add a few more goals to his game ( hopefully this season ) he isn’t gonna be far away from an England call up in a couple of years time .

Oh no.....

Just when things had started to look up, guess who is turning up to spoil the party tonight.

Feels like a big game tonight. Win and we could go as high as 11th. 5 points off Watford with a game in hand

Know the team already?……….…….

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re both on the bench - try watching Nige’s Wigan presser, maybe you’ll get a hint.

[Super]

From Bristol Post

Bristol City (4-3-3, probable): Max O’Leary; George Tanner, Zak Vyner, Rob Atkinson, Cam Pring; Joe Williams, Matty James, Andi Weimann; Mark Sykes, Harry Cornick, Anis Mehmeti

Nige said that Mehmeti will 'play a big part'. It took that to mean starting.

[Offside]

I’m expecting a tough game, they all in this league. But City are made of sterner stuff recently so I’m also expecting us to win tonight.

He said “he may”….also said “good having lots of options”.

I don’t think there were any giveaways in his press conference.  He might go same eleven, he may not.

[Jeez]

Tonight's the night fellow Reds even the bookies can feel it.

If City are finally awarded a penalty, and especially should we score, is there any chance of hearing a chant of ‘One Keith Stroud, There’s only one Keith Stroud’ or even ‘Can you ref us every week’?

You start the chant tonight, and I will follow.

It would be quite the day that we finally get a penalty (even when it is blatantly not one) and Stroudy is the man that gives it. Would just sum up the whole farcical stat.

Bet you 5p he starts

Should hopefully be cleared before people start to travel, but you might want to keep an eye on this in you use the A38

Really? Surprised no one had mentioned it yet

[MarcusX]

I never knew Jason Roberts played for us before joining the Gas!

Can only see a City win tonight on our current form (not been able to say that for a while!)

Jinxed it now, drab 0-1 incoming

There you go again, flashing your big money about.

You know most of us can't take the risk when the stakes are so high.

Wycombe away as a sub? I think I remember being there but was a long time ago.

Short of pulling every one of us out of a burning building, awarding us 'the' penalty would be as much as he can ever do to redeem himself in the eyes of City fans

I think he scored 1 goal in a win at Oldham (live on TV)  but was left out of the next game for the slow Sean McCarthy. Was miffed and went off to play for Grenada. Given his career after that not a great decision by John Ward.
