Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Bristol City

[AWetFlannel]

But will Wilder….tinker?

Please can people stop this association between our manager tinkering and bad results.

We tinkered against Blackburn starting Brewster upfront and chose not to start Hamer.

We tinkered whilst still unbeaten, midweek against Swansea dropping Moore and playing Shackleton RB, and on the Saturday starting McCallum and Brewster.

I agree with you, my comment was a nod to existing thread about tinkering.

Seem a decent lot TBH Looking forward to this game, Highlight's from the Preston game they looked impressive with good movement in and around the box will 100% give us a good test

 

[Crafty Blade]

isnt it actually the Bristolians that say "ooo rrr".... in Sheffield it's "oh aye"

Would take a point here, and it'd be a good point

 

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers roy, they seem pretty confident as would we if the roles were reversed

Does anyone actually prefer one Bristol club to the other? Like, genuinely? I can’t remember anyone saying they care about either Bristol club to be fair. Some of our older fans livelier fans will remember some run-ins we’ve had with their lot - Wolves playoff final in Cardiff rings a bell. Maybe that’s why some prefer the Gas.

They’re confident and have every right to be. They’re in good form. If we can repeat Blackburn performance then we should have no problem here. But will Wilder….tinker?

There's a post on here over the last week where one of theirs was doing something similar to Roy's pre view from, and asking our thoughts about them.
A few replies were bigging up the Gas over City and probably that's why it's in there.

Cheers Roy be a tough match never liked going to Bristol but on my way again in an hour

Ah I see, bit of a windup then probably.

Looks like they're missing a few of their full-backs. Definitely a game to throw Brooks and JRS in from the start.

I had it in my head that we had an awful record at Bristol City. Turns out that it's actually pretty good and that actually our recent issues against them have been at the Lane.

Last 10 years at Ashton Gate: P5 W3 D1 L1 F8 A5
Wins: 1-0 in 22/23 (Ndiaye), 3-2 in 17/18 (Clarke, Sharp, Freeman), 3-1 in 14/15 (Done 2, Murphy)
Draws: 1-1 in 21/22 (Gibbs-White)
Defeats: 1-0 in 17/18 (n/a)

Last 10 years at the Lane: P5 W2 D0 L3 F7 A7
Wins: 1-0 in 22/23 (McAtee), 2-0 in 21/22 (Brewster (!!!), Sharp)
Draws: n/a
Defeats: 2-3 in 18/19 (Sharp, Hogan), 1-2 in 17/18 (Clarke), 1-2 in 14/15 (Higdon)

Naturally, my only visit to Ashton Gate was in 18/19 (on my birthday, nonetheless). I won't be there tonight.

Cheers Roy. Blimey,they're confident!
To be fair, I'd happily sacrifice three points tomorrow to give that lot a proper arseing on Sunday...

Be ambitious man, either 1 or 3 points ar Bristol and then 3 points against the scrubbers, that will do nicely!

I prefer Bristol City. But only because I have a friend who supports them.

 

[S74Blade]

Leeds better than us…… give us our 2 points back and we’re above ‘em!!!

 

[originaltrueblade]

Be prepared to hear the worst accent in the country…certainly a bunch of carrot crunchers


Thanks Roy

 

[Bladesthorpe]

I remember a couple of games years ago (play offs?) where we took thousand down there including in their stand down the left of the ground looking from the away end. There were running battles in a park on the way back to the station.

Ps i think he will definitely tinker. I wouldn't be surprised if Moore is given a redt and Campbell starts up front, Brooks in for Rak Sayki and potentially Peck in for Blaster

Have you got tonight's lottery numbers, Mystic Frieth.

 

[FriethBlade]

Have you got tonight's lottery numbers, Mystic Frieth.

I was just thinking that myself...ps my surname is Wilder

 

[VictoryBlade]

Bristol City—already asking all the big questions:-

“Now that Wilder is only a Championship,and not Premier manager,is it ok if the linesman eats a sandwich in his presence?”

No its not, because its rude to eat when everyone else isn't!

They do Asdles in stead of Asda!

Thanks Roy!

Just looked at these comments again and this one stuck out

“We need to pay them back for their last promotion season, when they stole the game at Ashton Gate.

I’m still bemused as to how they managed automatic promotion.”
