Match Day Thread Brizzle City vs Saints, Tues 21st October, 20:00

No, I only average about 4 games a season during that time though

 

That's probably only about 8 games tbf

 

****ing hell! That's a crazy stat. Hopefully you'll break your duck Tues. Annoyingly I'm driving so can't even have a few pints

 

In fairness, Swansea's modus operandi was to fall over as soon as a Saints player got close.

 

I'm going this one as well

 

Yeah going.

 

Got a pretty big not606 crew going to this it seems! Meet up before/ht?

All together now when we go two nil down - "get out of our club..." ?

Another ****e performance where we create nothing and gift easy goals.
The fans will clap.
Still will tell us it’s Russell martins fault from last season

We march on

 

@Saintmagic are you in the home end for this one?

 

Heading up with a group (of old miserable bastards), so doubt I can meet up this time, but am up for it another game in the not-too-distant.

Am I right in thinking we're behind the goal? Been absolutely years since I was in an away section not shoved off in some quiet corner.

 

Yeah we get the entire stand behind the goal.

 

Nice!

 

Yeah

 

Looking forward to seeing you do the tragic bounce.

 

Maybe you’ll pass your curse to the home team?

 

Highly unlikely, I am Tom levels of curse when it comes to attending games.

Thankfully for everyone if it’s raining or cold I won’t bother going and will watch on tv

 

Just looked up our record against these as it feels like it's poor and we've only won two league games at Ashton Gate since the second world war - not a huge amount of games admittedly. Lost the last four though.

Also interesting to note that draws are very rare in games between us. None in the last 15 games both home and away in any competition.

Bit of rotation needed I reckon. With our squad can easily afford it, and it will make a big difference as the season goes on having less injuries and fatigue. Tempted to rest Charles, but maybe do that on Saturday.

I know Adarma as no. 9 isn't ideal, but I don't think we have much of a choice. Archer is just a bit too lazy for me.

 

I thought Archer had a good game yesterday, made loads of good runs and barely got the ball played through. Azaz will play those passes so would definitely stick with Archer.

Plus Armstrong is terrible as a lone striker. We've tried it a few times this season and it's been a disaster every time.

I'd swap Archer in for Fellows and have Arma on the right personally. Don't mind too much if Fellows starts instead of Armstrong but definitely don't want to see Armstrong up top.

 

This is the team that most fans I speak to want and will be the one that will be that we eventually get imo better sooner than later so we can have some continuity injuries willing.
It is the one that has the best balance and best serves our only fit senior central striker.
