    Good Morning Everyone

    Patrick Bamford will undergo tests today to see the extent of the impact injury he picked up during the 1-0 win at Ashton Gate.

    The 25yo collided with the goal post as he guided the ball into the net.

    Should Bamford not be fit to start tomorrow at the Madejski Stadium, who should take his place?




    Was anyone else surprised that when Bamford went off injured, he was replaced by Dallas?




    Speaking in his post match presser City Manager Lee Johnson said “It’ll be interesting particularly with that top three to see who plays who and I’d love to play Leeds in the play-offs.”

    Thoughts?




    It was then Bristol City fan / journo Matthew Withers turn to launch a vicious attack on Leeds:-

    At the final whistle of Saturday’s home game against Leeds United, I couldn’t help but feel that football was the loser.

    That’s not sour grapes and I’m not saying that Marcelo Bielsa’s team did not deserve to win the game, they did, but the manner of their second half performance and constant “professionalism” just didn’t sit well and on the back of that performance. I hope that Norwich City and Sheffield United take the top two positions in the league, sorry to my friends who are Leeds fans but it’s the truth.




    It's a good thing Bristol City aren't Bitter!

    Hoping that Bamfords injury isn't bad and he will be fine for tuesday. If not then I would hope Brown is able to step up but... the U23 isn't really pushing him and certainly not championship level so probably Tyler Roberts or perhaps Kun Temenuzhkov ?

    Good Morning to Matt and co from a sunny Bardsey
    I think Roberts will get Bamfords place and Brown will play a 10 I feel if he had been playing on Sat he would have scored with the assist from Harrison Roberts shot hardly reached the keeper

    Morning all. Critical Bamford plays all remaining games. As for the other stuff, I couldnt care less about other opinions of us whether its pundits or opposition fans or whatever. Only thing that will matter in May is thatll well be in top two. We can give everyone else the two fingers then. When its all boiled down, there are haters of every club in world football

    Bristol City have been attacked on social media Radrizzani.

    The Italian businessman has posted on Twitter picking up the story of a Leeds United fan who tried to sit in the home section at Ashton Gate on Saturday.

    The Eleven Sports founder backed a Whites fan who had explained in a social media post that the Robins had allowed a family from Cornwall to sit in the family area for Saturday's match.

    However, those fans say that they were removed from the ground when they were found to be wearing Leeds United socks.

    This is unacceptable and we will invite the family at Elland Road as guests. what can you expect from a club whom request points deductions for no reasons and didn’t accept our documentary crew to access at the ground and follow our team. Focus on Reading now #mot

    PLEASE CAN ALL MY FOLLOWERS RETWEET!!!! REALLY @BristolCity

    We approached Bristol City for comment on whether this was true but none was given at the time of writing this story.

    Picking up the Whites' fan's case, Radrizzani then slammed the Robins for their actions in ejecting the away supporters and then also hammered City owner Steve Lansdown for comments he had made in the aftermath of the Marcelo Bielsa 'spygate' incident.



    In particular the Italian has picked up Lansdown for his comments that Leeds United should be docked points for 'spying'.

    Eventually the EFL ruled that a heavy fine was sufficient only.

    Writing on Twitter, Radrizzani said:

    'This is unacceptable and we will invite the family at Elland Road as guests. what can you expect from a club whom request points deductions for no reasons and didn’t accept our documentary crew to access at the ground and follow our team. Focus on Reading now'

    The chairman of the Yorkshire-based side also says that the Robins would not allow access for their TV crew at Ashton Gate.

    However, our understanding is that the TV documentary crew DID have access but were not able to access the tunnel area due to logistics at one point.

    This would be only because there were too many people in that area at the time.

    Bristol City have yet to respond to either Radrizzani or the original fan's complaint about being ejected with his son after being told he could sit in the home end.

    Obviously there seems to be a lot of tension between Bristol City and Leeds. I have invited the City not606ers across to have their say !!

    They're a good bunch!!!

    Morning all :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Just updated the loan watch in the sticky above and its shocking this week.

    Bristol have been slammed by Radz for what they did to that Leeds family and I also saw a tweet from the club that said something like: 'Any Leeds fans are welcome in the home end but the hospital they will need is Bristol Infirmary' This club are a joke and wish we had taken up the EFL offer and pressed charges against them. I hope they dont make the play offs

    I see Joey Barton has been raving about Lewie Coyle but then left him on the bench at the weekend?

    Caleb Ekuban has been called up by Ghana so well done him, but shows how bad they are up front if Caleb gets the nod. Ekuban has played 24 games in all comps this season and scored 7 but only 3 in the league?

    Our Under 18s still flying after battering Bristol City 2-0 down at their place which should have been 8 apparently

    Under 23s play tonight with Jack Clarke making a comeback

    I wonder if Brown will be used as a striker tomoz if Bamford rested, as Brown Roberts partnership may be a decent shout with one playing the 10 role and interchanging. But hey maybe Bielsa will have his own ideas

    Good morning. I think losing Bamford would be bad news as the team needs some stability. We can’t afford a few games for players to work out how to fit into new positions.

    Would love to know what Stoke and Derby fans about their managers this season as both had Gary Rowett before Fat Frankie and Nathan Jones. Frank will be miles behind where Rowett finished last season at Derby and the club are losing £3m per month. Derby and Lampard deserve each other. Stoke sacked Rowett because like WBA they think its easy in this league and when you come down with a prem squad they expected to bounce straight back up. Poor Stoke are way behind where they would have been if they left Rowett to crack on IMHO

    Morning all.
    Keeping my mouth shut on match days seems to be working, long may it continue.
    Have been a critic of Radrizani in the past but I have to say he has my 100% support in his approach re Bristol City management.
    The fans of Bristol have a right to voice their opinions of Leeds but the management should be more circumspect in their comments. Their actions/comments if true do nothing to enhance the reputation of the game and in fact do nothing but create trouble all the way down the line. They and their comments should by rights be investigated by the EFL as in fact should all the clubs who called for a Leeds points deduction, it won't happen of course.
    Anyway Mr Radrizani has my full support on this one. Give e'm hell.

    2P talks sense here because we have all seen what happened in Scotland, in Birmingham and in Arsenal in the last couple of days. When fans now think it cool to enter the field of play and attack a player...... Bristol's actions right from the Owner, the manager and the twat who runs their twitter feed should all be sanctioned. We last saw this if you remember when we were given a 15 points deduction and Paul Scully owner of a tin pot club on the Medway wanted us to have more points deducted and slagged the club off. Our fans went mental down there and i remember sitting in the East Stand watching Fabian Delph smash a screamer in against them and the fans were baying for blood and pointing at Sculley. Any club who abuses another club is crazy and asking for big trouble

    Bolton players still not been paid so far and were promised it by Friday so they would play at the weekend. It didn't happen and they were promised it by today so what now? The deal to sell is still going on but without conclusion and the longer this goes on the more unlikely it will happen. It's now believed there are 3 consortium's with N01 still in a period of exclusivity, but dragging their heels. This is the group formed by the ex Brentford and rangers manager. The No2 group is Peter Kenyon's but he is getting upset and may walk away if nothing happens, just like he did at Newcastle when the Sports Direct boys messed him about, so still the same bandit in charge up there. Chaos reigns in Bolton with nobody knowing what will happen

    Birmingham are in big trouble because they could get a points deduction for cooking the books and cheating FFFP rules and abusing transfer system. Now they also have questions to answer about the attack on Grealish with some saying they may get relegated if a points deduction levied about yesterday on top of anything else they get...... imagine if Ipswich were saved....

    The twitter thing is fake news, it never happened, not on the official feed anyway. You're right and many City fans agree that Lansdown should have kept his mouth shut. As for the family getting turfed out, again if true what did they expect? You don't buy tickets in the home end. Its a story as old as Moses, how would your fans react if it happened at your ground?

    As for the game the better side won, it wasn't pretty to watch but I would love us to grind out results like you did on Saturday

    Here we go again.
    I see Shearer is sticking his oar in regarding the incident between Birmingham and Villa. He is calling for the maximum punishment available against Birmingham.
    When o when will these idiots learn to keep their traps shut.
    I have no love for Birmingham or more to the point their manager, however the full force of the law should be thrown at the so called fan. I find it difficult in such a situation to lay the blame on the club if the authorities wish to punish the club then all future matches in all leagues would need to be played behind closed doors then where would football be.
    The so called fan and others that cause similar problems should be held to account for their own actions not the club.
