The Robinsâ 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 Uâs 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 Walsallâs 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]) Bristol City 03/08/2013 L1 01 Bristol City 2 - 2 Bradford City ✖ 06/08/2013 LC R1 Gillingham 0 - 2 Bristol City ✖ 11/08/2013 L1 02 Coventry City 5 - 4 Bristol City ✖ 17/08/2013 L1 03 Bristol City 1 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers ✖ 24/08/2013 L1 04 Milton Keynes Dons 2 - 2 Bristol City ✖ 27/08/2013 LC R2 Bristol City 2 - 1 Crystal Palace ✖ 31/08/2013 L1 05 Gillingham 1 - 1 Bristol City ✖ 04/09/2013 FLT R1 Bristol City 2 - 1 Bristol Rovers ✖ 14/09/2013 L1 07 Bristol City 0 - 3 Peterborough United ✖ 17/09/2013 L1 06 Bristol City 1 - 1 Shrewsbury Town ✖ 21/09/2013 L1 08 Swindon Town 3 - 2 Bristol City ✖ 24/09/2013 LC R3 Southampton 2 - 0 Bristol City ✖ Colchester 03/08/2013 L1 01 Gillingham 0 - 1 Colchester United ✖ 06/08/2013 LC R1 Colchester United 1 - 5 Peterborough United ✖ 10/08/2013 L1 02 Colchester United 1 - 0 Port Vale ✖ 17/08/2013 L1 03 Sheffield United 1 - 1 Colchester United ✖ 23/08/2013 L1 04 Colchester United 1 - 1 Carlisle United ✖ 31/08/2013 L1 05 Colchester United 1 - 2 Leyton Orient ✖ 03/09/2013 FLT R1 Dagenham & Redbridge 4 - 1 Colchester United ✖ 08/09/2013 L1 06 Coventry City 2 - 0 Colchester United ✖ 14/09/2013 L1 07 Bradford City 2 - 2 Colchester United ✖ 21/09/2013 L1 08 Colchester United 1 - 1 Crawley Town ✖ Full Time Result Probability: Bristol City win 47%; Draw 25%; Colchester win 28%.

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...
