Background

Twenty-first placed Bristol City have made a disappointing start to their League One campaign, following relegation from the Championship last term, languishing in the relegation zone after failing to win any of their first eight games. The Robins’ winless league run now stretches 17 games; their last league victory was a 2-0 home win against Middlesbrough on the 9[SUP]th[/SUP] of March.

Twelfth placed Colchester United are without a win a six League One outings and have only won one out of their last nine competitive fixtures. The U’s recent record against teams on extended winless streaks is poor: losing to a Chesterfield side that had gone without a win for 17 league games in 2011/12 and ending Walsall’s 16 game winless run in all competitions last season.

The last three meetings between Bristol City and Colchester at Ashton Gate have ended in low scoring stalemates (1-1 2007/08, 0-0 2005/06, and 0-0 2004/05).

Bristol City: Home attack 16/24 (1.00 goals per game); Home defence 19/24 (2.00 goals per game) -1.00
Colchester: Away attack 14/24 (1.00 goals per game); Away defence 8/24 (1.25 goals per game) -0.25

Form: Bristol City 1-2, 2-2, 1-1, 0-3, 1-1, 3-2 [23/24] (Home: 0-1, 1-3, 2-2, 1-2, 0-3, 1-1 [22/24]) vs. Colchester 1-1, 1-1, 1-2, 2-0, 2-2, 1-1 [19/24] (Away: 3-1, 0-2, 0-1, 1-1, 2-0, 2-2 [10/24])

unfortunately this thread is not for Bristol City..it is for Bristol City AVON! that fictiticious place that was invented a few years ago......

 

cheers Mike, interesting to read the old results/scorers/gates, the U's do get low crowds! Clive Platt rings a bell head butting a City player in the tunnel but I'm not sure who he was playing for at the time...
