Sean O’Driscoll will be hoping his side can get back to winning ways in BS3,
following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Bolton Wanderers.



Bristol City

Bristol City's Liam Fontaine and Stephen Pearson both remain doubtful ahead of tonight’s clash after
sustaining ankle knocks during the 2-1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers at the weekend. Ryan Taylor
made an unexpected return against Dougie Freedman’s side and O’Driscoll is pleased
to have the striker back following 11 weeks out with a fractured collarbone.
• Bristol City will be relegated if they lose to Birmingham,
Even a win will not prevent a return to League One after six seasons if either Peterborough or Blackburn win.


• City have only picked up one point from the last five outings, and one win in eight
and have found victories the most difficult to come by in the Championship, with only 11.


• Wales international defender Lewin Nyatanga could make his 250th club career appearance
and club mate Marvin Elliott, his 200th Bristol City league start.


Birmingham City

Birmingham City despite spending the majority of the campaign just above the npower
Championship relegation zone, a run of two defeats in eight has propelled Birmingham
to a comfortable mid-tableposition going into tonight’s clash at Ashton Gate.
The Blues have won seven times on the road this season, which is more than they have at St Andrew’s.
• 15th-placed Birmingham have registered back-to-back draws, lost just one of their last seven,
but have a five-point cushion above the drop zone.


• Blues have won seven, drawn seven and lost seven of their 21 away league games
and have pocketed seven points from the last nine on offer on the road.


• If on the field from the outset, Wade Elliott will be making his 450th career league start.

Talking to David Lloyd tonight - we've had it.
His words - 'next season it will be the kids and a few experienced players, it's all down to FFP'.

And **** me if our midfield consists of Kilkenny, Kelly and Anderson we'll go straight down.
Not a decent pass nor ****ing tackle,head between them.
Girls, they're just totally Chicken.

And SOD - stay off the radio. I'm depressed enough.

 

Poor Kelly today trying to do 3 jobs at once hope last see of kk
