    Saw the championship highlights the other night and said that these were 9 games unbeaten.

    Morning mate.

    I notice you only had one attempt on target, at home to Wigan, and two the game before.

    That doesn't seem to be too attacking tbh, have they just been difficult games with away teams parking the bus?

    And, how many will you bring do you think.

    I know. We are all going away the week after for a weekend so it means I miss the stoke game. That meant, I boycotted this weekends meal.

    Norwich was a 1 nil win- was a cracking display by our lads great win and great attacking football.

    Wigan parked the bus and just could not break them down on the night. We hit bar and post as well just could not get the second goal.

    approx 2500 coming up

    Great stuff, looks like we could crack 40,000 again.

    I thought I'd seen Pearson say it was a scrappy game and not convincing but could be wrong.

    For me I think we should maybe start Pritchard as when he plays Clarke seems to play even better(think it creates more space for Clarke) but I am finding it hard to choose who should give way which as a FAN is awesome because over the last few years I could give you 4 or 5 every week who could be dropped lol I also think we may well just have too much for these and am going for a 3-1 scoreline and hope that Gelhardt(who looks like he is starting to settle in)and Ballard get on the scoresheet

    If Bristol are bringing 2500, which I doubt, that'll be around twice their average for a journey that's around twice they're average ...

    ... Sunderland must be considered a good away trip :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Right, we keep talking about how good Sunderland are. We are right, and that's ridiculous!

    Big deal, we're unbeaten in 22. (Admittedly it takes a bit of picking & choosing the right games to get to 22, but still. . . 22!)

    I'm not surprised that the Robins will have a good following . . . . they're decent supporters and this is, presumably, like playing at Wembley for them, isn't it :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Another great thread RTB! looking forward to the game but can’t go as on call (again!) regardless of how we line up we know we have a squad that, to a man, will try their best. For me the crowd plays such an important part of the game as it’s important that we are patient and support the team even on the occasions where we may not be playing our best. It should be a good game and I don’t think BC will sit back and defend - I think they’ll have a go which will suit us better in terms of the way we play. Everyone who is going I hope you all have a great day and cheer the lads on to another 3 points to help cement our position in the top 6!
