Is Rob Dickie suspended? Or can he get a 3rd red card in less than a year against us?

Suspended

I think this championship season is the most unpredictable yet, i think Ipswich and Southampton are going to be near the top 2, and Wednesday will be the bottom 1, but other than that its all up in the air, with relegated and promoted teams increasing the quality. At this moment we seem to part of that unpredictability, I believe we should be better going forward but worse at the back, but at this stage that's just a guess as well

 

[Blackheath Blade]

This what I was seeking permission for. Local girl. In tears as I type this. Lets make it loud and proud.

Is there any chance you can put you posts in bigger type please mate.

I’ve rung NASA but they say the Hubble Telescope is busy…

 

[Ecco1889]

Looking forward to this one
Hopefully 2-0 win
Looking at ticket sales expecting a crowd of around 28500

Home sales are decent but Bristol City have only sold quite poor 1400 to 1500, altho I suppose the late Sky kickoff has put some off as well as memories of their recent thrashing at Bramall Lane.

I reckon it will be between 27,500 and 28,250.

Regards the result I haven’t a clue, suspect we’ll win 2-1 but anything could happen.

Yeah not sure too many Bristol City fans will want to schlep up here for a five o clock kick off when they can just watch it on sky

 

[prescotblade]

Can’t say I can blame the Bristol fans.
Always good to know that clubs have a hard core support base that will travel

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Looking forward to our new style of play. Should be refreshing watching players pressing high up the field. Hope it pays off and can score from the many turnovers that it will create. TC could be the leagues top scorer with the amount of chances he'll get. Starting to get excited ....come on you Red and White Wizzzzzzzzzards

 

[Eza Blade]

Line up for today, couple on Ecce, followed by a couple more in triple point, followed by being seriously fucked off when it takes 5 days to get in ground, an unconvincing 3 points, followed by a couple more and a curry. We’re back baby!

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Positive today, 0-0, although I can’t see us not conceding so who knows.

[blade too long]

Well watched Ipswich last night, wasnt at all impressed , they looked closer to Luton in style more than Leeds
Birmingham were more solid and used some bullying methods , league one battering ram style

but were unlucky with 3 poor decisions in the game

we should win today , be 2-0 or 2-1

 

[Speedracer]

Which TC?

There is only one TC. And it's not that cunt pictured in one of our shirts.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Can’t see us scoring today

Complete opposite me!

Not seen any pre season games then?!

Does to me!

 

[Shawy24]

I think we are presently too lightweight in terms of squad depth and player physique for this division. I’m not confident. I might have felt better if we had signed 2 big fuck off bully boy centre backs that could dominate in either box, as we should have done last season and this.

I’m also not looking forward to Witless and the Catterick Clown calling for Widler’s return every week.

But whatever happens I won’t be going squealing to that twat Staton.

 

[Hallam Blade]

Currently sat in the Prague airport hoping to make it back in time for the game. Wish me luck.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Your up early Anston

 

[Shawy24]

Just tried to get a bet on Jack Robinson being carded, but he’s not on SkyBet list of players. Do they know summat?

 

[Harry's Game]

I have absolutely no idea how we are going to do today, whether we are going to win, lose, draw, play well or play badly,

…it’s quite interesting, like going to see a movie when you have no idea what the plot is going to be.

 

[MiserableBlader]

We go into the first game with a relegation squad.
Wednesday is the only team I know in a worse state than us.
The spine has been sold.
The height has been sold
A key signing has taken so long to arrive it would have been quicker to smuggle him in on a dinghy after walking across Europe.
We have had injuries and do not know who is match fit against a team that dominated possession against us in both league games - till a sending off in the first.
I struggle to put together a first rate team
The positional insanity of the modern game infuriates me.
Quality players like Brooks are being disabled.
And fools drone on about THEM being 'inconsistent', rather than #ManagersAreMorons
Well
I say
Cooper
Sass Bindon RND
Seriki Hamer Peck Brooks Burrows
Barry Campbell
appears to be our least worst option
It is small
Inexperienced at this level at the back
Top class apart from height in midfield
and dangerous and pacy up front if we
GET IT FORWARD
TURN THE DEFENCE
Or play vertically as is the modern imbecilic catch phrase of the pretentious shite that are managers.
Anybody there please support throughout.
They need it.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Which TC?

Sorry, but there is only one TC right now....Ty Campbell. Cannon has earned an initials yet. So to be clear it's TC, Campbell... Cannon, Cannon. To be clear.....ish
