Also missing out due to injury is Neil Kilkenny and Greg Cunningham. Marvin Elliott could come back into contention following a hernia operation but won’t be rushed if he isn’t ready. Hull City lost to high-flying Middlesborough in their last game, which was their first defeat in three having won their previous two.

I'm all for banter, but last time I came on this board you lot were posting pics of blokes violating each other anuses, so I'd appreciate if we could keep the gay porn out of it and talk about the 24th may 2008
Can see there being goals both shakey at the back,both capable of scoring. 2-2 draw with two very hard away games coming up where I see no points coming,
We never win at your place, but I do believe that we have too much quality within the side to suffer defeat. I think this is the year we end the Ashton Gate curse. I'll be there, with however many else City fans make the journey rather than watching it on Sky.
How's your strike force? Ours is top notch, only trouble being the opposite team could have heskey upfront and he would score 5+ goals. We have the worse defense in England
A hell of a lot better than last Season definitely. We're creating shed loads but fluffing a lot of them. On our day we'll bag 3 or 4, such as Bolton and Millwall but other games we can dominate and just not score such as Peterborough. Depends who he starts up front really. Aluko is something special.
We both have dodgy defences but I would swap leauge places with your lot no problem We have to score 5 to win at present crazy situation.
Oh well, at least I am one of the few City fans who can actually hold a decent conversation with you.
Good match preview Sinycitylad (I recommend BCFC fans to take a look at SuperTiger's match preview as well). We've being transformed this season into a team who can score goals, we've already scored over a 1/3 of our total from last season and it's only October! However, we're not as strong defensively and errors at the back have cost us points this season. We've played some of the best football many of us have seen for a while, then we've had games such as Tuesday and at Leicester when we just haven't turned up. As for Saturday, I have a feeling it could be a draw but if we perform to our best I think we'll have that bit extra quality and will win the game. I doubt we'll see Mclean and Proschwitz start, I think it will go back to Aluko and Simpson. Here's hoping it's a good game anyway
The last 2 times our dodgy defence met other dodgy defences we got tonked by posh and scraped a scrappy 1-0 vs the wendies. I think we should prove too strong for Bristol specially if koren makes a return, he should really drive us on from midfield. 6-0 away win I think.
