    Saturday 1st November 2025 3:00pm kick off

    4TH V 5TH this is going to be an interesting game-who comes out victorious at 4:45pm. This is a tough one to call.

    Stoke has been a surprise package this season under Mark Robbins after flirting with relegation last season.

    Bristol City still unbeaten on the road -this has the hallmarks of a score draw all over it.

    City will be backed with another excellent away following and will be in full voice at the Britannia stadium.

    Emil Rees will be available however after Sinclair Armstrongs excellent performance against Birmingham Gerard Struber has a tough decision on who starts up front spearheading the attack.

    Predictions-


    Jacob Hackett
    “This is a really tough one to call, likely nerve-wracking for supporters but potentially fantastic viewing for neutrals.

    “Both sides will feel capable of achieving a

    result
    and should there be a winner it would provide a huge confidence boost for the victorious side.
    “I have a feeling that we will see both sides get in on the goalscoring action and there is a chance that the two teams will cancel each other out as a result of this.


    “For that reason, my gut is suggesting a score draw.”

    Prediction: Stoke City 2-2 Bristol City

    James Ray
    Bristol City make the

    trip
    up to Stoke City knowing they’re in for a real test. However, boasting an unbeaten away record in the Championship to date, they should be hopeful of getting a result here.



    “The Bet365 Stadium is becoming a tough place to go again under Mark Robins and his SCFC side should be eyeing all three points here. It would be a real statement to do so against a side viewed as a strong contender to make it into the play-offs again.

    “The Robins certainly have the attacking style to get at the Potters, but I think the hosts will hold firm enough to claim a point.”

    Predictions: Stoke City 1-1 Bristol City

    Gerard Struber presser-



    I am going 1-2 Bristol City nicking it.

    Another tough game, but we're on a bit of a roll.
    I'd be very happy with a point at Stoke

    This will be a good test: 4th vs 5th.
    Winning this would be a statement of intent to the league.

    Nothing but a win is needed if we want to show all the others that we are up to any task sent our way.

    How about the Toronto Blue Jays shoving it to the Yanks? :emoticon-0137-clapp

    Sounds like it’ll be low scoring, a goal either way

    Nah - we’ll romp it 4-0 with Sincs getting a hat-trick topped by a bicycle kick overhead volley, and Anis with the 4th following a mazy run through 4 defenders.

    More chance of a Vyner hat-trick than Sinc’s one

    Unlikely to be both. With another 3 game week this week, we will need to rotate them, so probably Sincs starts today, with Emil back for the Blackburn game.

    Sincs gets the nod as deservedly so.

    Whether he is or not, for his confidence, dropping Sincs would be catastrophic

    A bad start… Borges at fault for this one, and I feel Dickie could have cut out the cross as well, very poor.

    Not if handled correctly, times are different, it’s a squad game now, starting isn’t the bee all it used to be.
