    Can we keep the momentum going and get a third win on the bounce?

    2-1 Town and all ready for the Budgies on Sunday.

    I agree BigAl. Every game together improves their understanding of Mackenna ball, confidence, fluency, fitness, pairings and, perhaps even their shooting skills too!

    2-1 away win.

    This might be where the squad's strength in depth comes in handy. Potential starts for Nunez, Akpom, Jack Clarke, and Azon to shuffle the pack and keep the players fresh? Particularly with an eye on the Norwich match on the weekend?

    After my cautiousness on the weekend, I'll back the lads to win tomorrow night. Although Bristol City are 4th in the table, a look at their results does show quite a generous opening set of fixtures. Other than the recent draw against Preston and a win against Charlton - their other five matches have been against teams in the bottom half of the table. Hopefully our deeper squad will benefit us here.

    I'll go for a 3-1 Town win.

    Age and experience showing early form with 66% top guesses, how did you wrangle that Nuggets! Perhaps I have insider knowledge.

    Gaffer, if you can turn your predictions into spot on scores you’ll be running away with it this year <laugh>

    Think our away form will lag behind our home form. 2-2.

    I'm not so confident tonight. Think KM will make wholesale changes, and it will show.
    Going for a 3-1 defeat, with Clarke getting a late consolation.

    If he makes lots of changes, I would agree Stretchy. But Bristol are missing several key players so let's hope for the best.

    Stretchy is right, big changes all over the park, lets see how they get on. I guess if you have such a talented squad, you gotta play them.

    Poor defending from the corner. Slight deflection doesn’t help.

    As Gaffer says, we’ve been on top so the goal is against the run of play. We’ve got to respond now and actually start creating a bit more. Would like to see us up the tempo a little.
