please log in to view this image v v Football returns after the international break and Bristol City have a tough trip to Boro on Saturday. Sadly Liam Manning will be not attending due to the horrible news of losing a child and rightly so you need time to grieve.Chris Hogg will take the reigns for this game. City are finding games hard to win and Boro are having a erratic start to the season with good wins then drawing games. Boro have 14 points and Bristol City 11 points -so not a massive difference considering they are one of the favorites for promotion. A certain Tommy Conway looks like he will be back in contention to play against his previous club. Tomorrow is going to be a step too far for Bristol City and i predict a 3-0 loss putting more pressure on the powers that be.
David Prutton shares score prediction for Middlesbrough vs Bristol City Earlier this week, EFL pundit Sam Parkin predicted the score for Middlesbrough vs Bristol City. It was an interesting prediction from Parkin who backed the Teessiders to come away with a 3-1 win. This comes despite the fact Middlesbrough are yet to score more than twice in the Championship this term and, as already mentioned, have a poor record against Bristol. Now, speaking on the Essential EFL podcast, David Prutton has given his score prediction for the game and it is probably somewhat more realistic. In his brief assessment of the game, he said: “Battling point for both, 1-1.”
Take that all day long cannot see us holding Boro-we look poor and a side lacking in confidence. His first prediction is more realistic.

After decades of seldom getting anything at Ayresome Park, our record at the Riverside isn’t bad at all However I still think they’ll have a bit too much for us tomorrow
I disagree, we can’t change managers every year, we will never improve if we do that. Unless we are in danger of relegation, LM gets to the end of the season for me. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous, and won’t bring you emperors Nige back. We have only lost twice this season ffs…
The next few games are key, we’ve had a relatively easy start, we have to now do well against better teams.
I'm in a strange situ but I agree we can't keep swapping managers, I really liked Nige but that is a lost argument he is history. LM is not that far away and I also take on board his latest terrible tradgedy but I have no loyalty towards him, we stick with what we have got until at least January and see what develops.
At some point in the not too distant future, if poor results continue as of lately, a serious decision will have to be made in regard to both our manager and the players. Several players look as if they are not up to the task and that includes 3 or 4 that have been with us longer than this season and I am basing that on their statistics, particularly in the lack of goals. Whether or not that is down solely to our new manager is debatable but we have travelled this same road for many years and continue to ask exactly the same questions at the same time of year, without abatement. So who is actually to blame and does the rot set in from the top of the tree or further down in the roots? The age old Bristol City always seem to be unable to ever get it right enough for the people in the seats to go home happy after each game.
Maybe so, just tomorrow will be a weird one. Lose and it’s not like people cant say sack him in current circumstances. Just wondering what people are going to say tomorrow night IF we lose. Me personally and I’ve nothing against Liam, would like him to go so we can all move on from the ghost of past managers and start again without bickering about the past.
For me I expected to lose tomorrow before all that’s gone this week. It’s the block of fixtures that are coming up rather than tomorrow in isolation. We have to start picking up points and soon, if we don’t then imo circumstances will dictate and we will be forced to act.
Today is the start of ten very hard games-Leeds up next at home who last night went top. different gravy to us. We could be in the bottom three next weekend.
I don’t recall you ever having a pop at Nige last season when we were even worse. ROD mentions moving on, I don’t think some can, how long before the next manager has a few bad results, and people harp back to the alleged “good old days of Nige”.
It’s nothing to do with Nige, and neither is it just a few bad results. Judge LM on his record, stop being clouded by the previous incumbent. We aren’t doing well enough NOW. I for one came away from the WBA game thinking Nige should go, he then turned it around. Imo LM is in a similar position, hopefully he’ll do the same and turn it around, if he doesn’t then he must go. Unlike some others I don’t put an arbitrary date on it as I think circumstances will dictate the timing.
Trouble is, if we turn it around over the next few games people will say like when Cotts went they were to stubborn and Pemberton unleashed them. It’s going to be a strange time for next few weeks.
