    Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson explains Timm Klose's absence after defensive struggles
    The Swiss central defender has yet to start a league game this season with Tomas Kalas still sidelined

    How the Under-21s line up
    Two significant absences from the U21s this afternoon with Sam Bell and Dylan Kadji not in the squad.

    With Alex Scott and Matty James absent for tomorrow's game, Kadji's exclusion makes sense but Bell's absence is certainly interesting.

    He's on fire with five goals in his last three matches and a hint that he could be involved tomorrow. Although there's already stiff competition with Weimann, Semenyo, Martin, Wells and Conway pushing for starts

    It will be interesting to see what others think about the starting formation. Changes needed to be made, if only to wake some of them up, but I don't see this as a dangerous line-up but you never say never in this game. Massengo, DaSilva and Vyner starting is like the darker days of last season when we were struggling, and I just can't see that as progression to be honest.

    Changes will be made I’d imagine, can’t personally see this line up though. Certainly Semenyo needs to start and give Conway a rest. As for the rest I’ve not got a clue, good job it’s not my decision to make. Will be interesting to see what Nige does, obviously he’s got the advantage of knowing injury situations and form on the training pitch.

    I'd drop Conway just for not passing to Wells, greedy little bu**er.
    If Pearson takes Naismith out of the back 3 imo he has to play a role in midfield.
    I'd play him instead of King and think Naismith, Williams and Massengo's legs might do a job in the middle of the park.

    I said on OTIB I see Naismith as this defensive midfielder needed when we first bought him. And still think with Klose and Kalas back that’s where he would be moved to. But for now we’re stuck with him as we don’t really have 2 CB’s in Atkinson and Vyner.

    Is Sykes injured or paying the price for his part in the 2nd goal v QPR? Interesting that they think NP will go with Tanner over Kane Wilson? I thought Tanner showed a lot of heart and spirit last season but was out of his depth in the Championship.

    I agree, as another loss would knock the players & fans confidence on our setup and approach.
    Another defensive display like we've had in the last 3 matches will surely indicate the coaches & the manager don't know how to put things right..

    Hopefully, Palmer is as poor in front of goal tonight as he was at the weekend...

    Another loss and the pressure mounts. In many other clubs in this league this season, 4 defeats on the spin get's you the bullet. Thankfully, SL is more restrained than that.

    Not with the current bunch that's for sure.
    Can't see it getting better till Kalas and Klose are available.
