    Well it's another home game we should be winning. I'll be a happy chap walking back to the car with 3 points. That will do me. A comfortable home win would be nice but as we know football can be unpredictable. Haway the lads.

    Would take a scrappy 1-0 to keep the winning streak up!

    Consistency is key in the Championship and it's important to string wins together. Tonight is a chance to do that and with teams around us playing eachother or playing in hard games it's a chance to gain some momentum.

    I'd go with;
    Patterson
    Hume Mepham Ballard Cirkin
    Rigg Neil Jobe
    Roberts Isidor Watson

    Think Roberts deserves to keep his spot after how he performed in the last 20 minutes or so on Saturday, that has to be the standard for him now though. Would like to see Rigg have a break but i'm not sure who to replace him. Connolly maybe and I would be fine with that so I'm interested to see what RLB does. Mayenda needs to be subbed on earlier tonight. Helped change the game on Saturday and sometimes you need the pace and power he gives you.

    Just like Stoke, I think Bristol City have some good individuals and should be doing better than what they are. McNally is a top end championship defender, Bird and Knight are good midfielders, Mehmeti and Hirakawa are dangerous in wide areas.

    I think the plan tonight should be similar to Saturday, allow Bristol City to have the ball in their defensive third but press them high. They really struggled with that on Saturday and I think we can cause them similar problems. Another reason I think we should give them possession is that this season they've had more possession than their opponent in 11 games and won just 3 of them, whereas in the 8 games where they've conceded possession and played on the counter they've only lost 1.

    3-1. Watson, Isidor, Cirkin.

    I’d agree but it means someone has to tell Rigg he’s not playing …

    … rather you than me <laugh>

    Was it Mayenda who had the header Wilson helped over the line, would have been a goal if he had left it alone, instinct probably.

    I think it was going wide tbh. Mayenda should’ve buried it imo …

    … having said that Watson missed his easiest chance which was virtually a tap in <laugh>

    These are a half decent side who try and play a bit, so I’m expecting a challenge tonight.

    Delighted that the risk of death and my testicles escaping into my stomach isn’t with us today, and I think very similar result wise to Saturday. Actually I’m going for exactly the same.

    2-1.

    Ha’waaaaaaaaaay

    I’d just like to see us totally dominate the opposition and score a load in the process.

    I think it was going wide, and under those circumstances you should be allowed to put it in the net. It would need a rule change, but I dont understand offside anymore anyhow

    3:45am mate. I’m awake anyway, working nights. So I’ll be sat at my desk watching it if it’s being shown on Bein Sports. Failing that I’m sure someone will post a link to a completely genuine and extremely legal stream.

    :emoticon-0102-bigsmAt the legal stream you will be getting

    I cannot fathom that you will be all the way across the world watching us in great heat early in the morning while we are all standing at night in the cold wrapped in scarves and hats.

    int’ the world brilliant !
