    BRISTOL CITY v WATFORD

    Kick Off : 1500 GMT

    Bristol City had a good win against West Ham on Tuesday in the FA cup, so no doubt will be hoping to continue with success against the Hornets Saturday afternoon. Despite Watford being five places above City in the table, there is only a three points difference between them, showing just how tight things are in the Championship.

    Liam Manning has been in charge at Ashton Gate for 14 games now, after successful spells at Milton Keynes and Oxford Utd. but lately his team have struggled in the league. Defeats at Millwall and Preston, and not scoring for three games, has seen them sliding down the table.

    Watford are now back to within one point of the play-offs and Ismael will back his players to extend their recent impressive away run, a total of 13 points coming from five games. An indifferent first half display against QPR, then Jake Livermore popped up to score twice, before the Horns finished up hanging on at the end to collect the three points.

    Andrew Kitchen has been appointed as the referee.
    This is the second time this season he has been in charge of a Watford game, the first was our 1-0 win at Swansea City.
    James Wilson and Nigel Lugg, will assist him, with David Rock the fourth official.

    Assistant ref Nigel Lugg - wonder if he's related to Ray?

    Hi guys are league form recently has nose dived despite our West Ham win.
    Every chance that you could take revenge after the drubbing at yours last month.
    If we play like we did against Preston and Millwall you will take the points.
    If we play like we did against West Ham over the two legs points will be ours.
    Interesting game tomorrow before the next cup game next Friday against Forest
    Bloody cold down here the last few days -6 so wrap up warm.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I'm on my way. Enjoyed a fry up for breakfast. Looking forward to a pint or two beforehand. Hopefully traffic will be kind, maybe a 12:30ish arrival which would be splendid.

    I think we actually got a point from that game too. The current squad may like to consider what that makes them if they don't at least replicate that...;)
