    A second trip to the South West in 2 weeks, off to Holby sorry Bristol for a game against an improving City side with new manager Cotterill starting to improve their fortunes.
    Should not have had the season they have had but for reasons they have struggle even though they have Jay Emmanuel Thomas who was scoring for fun at the start of the season. Also, have Sam Baldock and have recently signed Martin Paterson on loan, so they will be a threat going forward.
    Decent fans at the gate, remember them clapping us when Moyes took the promotion side to Bristol for the last game of the season in May 2000. Don't think we'll take 3000 this Saturday.
    Need a win to put some pressure on the top two, won't be easy but can be done, 352 for the Whites is my prediction, Wright will be back after his tactical resting last week.

    It is sad to see clubs like BCity & BRovers struggling and both have for several years. Their catchment area is huge and they should get big crowds. Cots is a decent manager at this level and it should be an interesting game.

    We could be strugglng given the fact that 4 of our players have been questioned under the spot fixing affair by the police.

    All players now released on bail, whether they will be in the right frame of mind tomorrow is anybodies guess.

    Considering the events of the last couple of days a good point at Ashton Gate, play offs now a mathematical certainty
