Bristol City

[benn5712]

8/12/17 absolutely battered them and lost 1-2. Duffs on fire.
Double over us season before last.
Horrid trip there Basset era, already promoted lost 0-2. Stabbing before game. Scum stewards giving it the heavy hand.
Not confident.

Bristol Tity have a better squad of players than us,except for the No2 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/teams/first-team-squad/

The No2 is well known for his legs being as wide open as the Wicker Arches.

Bristol City are a good side who should be doing better in the league. Loads of experienced players . This will be a real test against a team, it has to be said, of similar skill to us.

 

[Badger Blade]

Biggest test will be if we go behind and whether we're capable of fighting back against a decent Championship team or if we go to pieces like we have the rest of the time.

 

[ancientblade]

I remember the 2-1 win at our place as well, they gave us one of the hardest games we had at the Lane that season and they travelled in decent numbers too.

seem to recollect a game at the lane in the 80s and they packed the lane end

Play offs 1987/88.

 

[Bladedog]

Biggest test will be when they score..cos we can't keep a clean sheet

I think COVID is going to be around for a long, long time - certainly long after we’ve finished with the Premiership.

Can't let a crisis go to waste, must be milked for all it's worth. I'm just jealous that I didn't think to patent the name in 2019 before Billy Gates

Any team that plays quickly through the middle and we struggle. Walsall did that, Peterborough did that, Bristol City did that and Plymouth did that yesterday but didn't score with a good opportunity. Something that has not been improved since we stepped up to the prem.

 

[Dalelane01]

Have we ever faced a pair of Bristols in the FA Cup in the same season before?

Yes in the B cup

"We want you to stay" is my biggest memory from my last visit to Ashton Gate. 90 minutes of it and Didsy missing a couple of sitters. UTB

Didsy didnt sign for us until the summer

 

[BladesOnToast]

Stat of the Day: there has only been one draw in the last 24 matches between us and BC.

Yes you’re right they are the only teams in 4 years to play quick football against us. All the other teams have been shit and let us win.

 

[BobblesBlade]

I hope we smash em.

"We want you to stay" to Wilder at Ashton Gate was before we signed Didsy

Yes last match of the season, 17-18.

 

[wak1889]

Wonder if any team has ever won the cup after beating two teams from the same city in the run?

I would imagine so yes seeing as there are so many london clubs

Odd really, I typed ‘covid’ but it automatically put it in capitals.
It just did it again so I then had to amend it very slowly and deliberately before I was allowed to type it the way I wanted to and, to my mind, the correct way.
Strange as I noticed it was spelt ‘Covid’ in Bath Blades post.
Such impositions happen all the time. I always type ‘brexit’ in lower case and as an irrelevant mendacious load of lies and garbage that it is.
The powers that be want to change that spelling to make it appear different.
I can think of many such words. I ought not to go down that road as otherwise the ignorant, ill-informed and gullible will be queuing up to rip into me. Not that they will really understand what they are talking about.
A bit like me really when it comes to your reference to Billy Gates.

Correction: 1-0, Harry Chapman with a header.

[sheff_blade90]

the advantages of having the worst looking tie of the round that we are on the bbc. assuming BBC gets the 1st & 3rd pick BT chose the rest bar 1

 

[sitwell]

Mrs Sitwells first ever game v Bristol city in the league cup 1992 ,4-1 win ,remember their goalscorer looked shit hot ,young man called Andy Cole.

 

[FredZeppelin]
