    Well another game comes thick and fast-Bristol City sit fourth in the form table unbeaten in the last four games.
    Millwall are having a bit of up and down season at present.
    I think we will get back to winning ways on Monday.
    I’m going for a 3-1 city win.
    I’m hoping we get the business done early in the window and I reckon the signings are lined up to come in early and improve the team.

    I’m more confident about this one than I was the Brum game.
    I’ll go for a tight 1-0 win for us.

    Another team that will sit in imo, we need to break these teams down. It could go either way, if we can score early I think we could win by a couple, the longer they frustrate us it’ll make things difficult much like Birmingham did. We are at last doing better at home so I’m going for a win.

    BCFC is like the current wx one minute calm and sunny next gales with torrential rain in between is scattered showers with brief patch' s of sunshine...................

    Sat here looking west across the sky is a slot of pale blue sky. The top edge of the cumulus is backlit by the sinking sun white edge fading pink going into an ever darker grey, whilst the east side is the same, but the lower rain clouds dark grey and darker drifting eastward under it ! toward AG the sky is teetering on the very edge of grey becoming black ... tomorrow let us hope the picture will one of sunshine and positivity over AG AND THE FUTURE IS STEADY AND CALMER FOR ALL OF US and BCFC

    We are staying on Princes Street.
    Walked up the Royal Mile today after visiting the cathedral there. Views from the castle are spectacular.
    I’m very impressed with Edinburgh so far. I can even understand the locals - their accent is ‘softer’ than the Glaswegian bark!!!

    At the end of the royal mile HOLYROOD end is is place called Dynamic Earth or something. I had a delivery there some years back ! A safe parking space at ground level goods entrance and took in all my bits and bobs, security bloke said will you be long I said depends if I can sneak a look round and get a snack and drink just driven 500 miles to get here! Happy bloke we broke into a chorus of I would drive 500 miles wow he said when you got your stuff in park over there I go off duty at 3pm if you go a kip I will warn my mate you are OK'd
    a fantastic place the basement was full of future prehistoric models etc and additional items Had A PASS ticket round my neck !! so meal was cheap but had to sit away from paying customers in small "staff area" well worth what you would pay £? I guess ....

    More likely likely Knight will play in a midfield 3. I assume dropping Sykes is to give him a rest?

    Probably Weimann over Sykes.
    Makes sense, Sykes can't play every game and to me has looked a bit jaded lately.

    WORST SCENARIO TODAY... we could be 12th best is we stay at 8th...
    WX IS MISERABLE with occassional light shower around halftime and possible heavier toward end of second half ....... BUT WINDis trong breeze with odd gusts to 15mph + / 24kmph +

    you have to get used to LM setting with the formation and players he thinks is better than the opposition [ comments I made pre / at start of his tenure ] from observations of team selection at Oxford

    Doing the castle today but will keep my eye on the game - apologies in advance to my Scottish hosts if I jump and shout manically (or swear profusely) in a quiet tour!!!
    Oh - and I learned about Hearts of Midlothian earlier - very interesting!!

    A strange starting eleven for me with Andy as captain. Ah well let's wait and see what this does to our recent form.

    I genuinely didn’t think of that!!
    No - there’s a heart embossed in the cobbled street in the Royal Mile!!
