    Bristol City with 1 win in 8 games will look to get back to the early season form that had them in the top 4 and will look to do that when manager-less Burnley head to Ashton gate. Burnley who beat Blackpool on the weekend will rely on current goal machine Charlie Austin to take 3 points from the struggling robins.

    to give him credit he played well at LB against Bolton, and with a bit of confidence he could do the job there. Carey let us down a fair bit saturday and for once fonts had a decent game.

    I suspect Carey may be "rested" for this one. will his old bones do two games in four days?

    In a defending sense yes, but he isn't a good footballer at all.. when he gets the ball he doesn't look for a pass he just hoofs it aimlessly, therefore losing possesion easily

    Yeah my early season confidence has totally evaporated. I don't want the game to start now cuz I'm fearing the worst.

    Won't be long before we're winning, I have every confidence in what Del is trying to do, we'll get there, hopefully starting tonight. A tiny bit of luck and some confidence, we have the nucleus of a really decent team. Onward and upward.. C>O>Y>R
    Before you start Banksy, Just **** off you dopey **** ;)

    Good team selection; Joe Bryan wide left midfield.
    Not so good is moving Fonts from left back to right centre back. I only hope it doesn't come back to bite McInnes and City.
    We'll know by 9.35pm

    Well how do we manage to do it every single game. I'm at a loss to understand how a team of professional footballers at Championship level are defending no better than a team of seven year olds against Man U!

    Where the hell do we go from here?

    I am so depressed. Why cant it be us getting the late winner. It must be comical defending to concede so many goals.

    only one team has scored more goals than us this season (Burnley); only one team has conceeded the same number of goals as us this season (Burnley). It was bound to be a game of end-to-end play.
