I think these are the players... Fielding Moloney Flint Fontaine Cunningham Wagstaff Wynter Kilkenny Pack JET Baldock Who do you think will play..?
Think we have more chance of winning the lottery than guessing our starting line up I'm hoping for something like this Fielding Moloney Flint Williams Cunningham Wynter Pack Adomah JET Wagstaff Baldock
I haven't seen any friendly this season but I reckon, reading between the lines, that Wiz has 2nd guessed SOD right. Prefer Shiny's line up - mainly because he hasn't picked the moaning Aussie.

I like RedorDead's team, but I fear that SOD will go with the experience of Fontaine at the back and Killkenny in midfield. probably leaving out Wiliams and Bryan.
Kilkenny would probably start ahead of Wynter but Fontaine and Williams are about 50/50 as Fonts has hardly shone in this preseason, now is that because his confidence is completely shot, he is not as good as he thinks he is, or he thinks he is too good for Bristol City and L1 I couldn't really say but unless 'he gets his finger out' then he could well spend most of his remaining season getting splinters in his behind.
The player Flint is going to be marking on the Bradford side is a no brainer which means whoever is partnering him has to cope with Nahki Wells, and if that is Fonts, he is likely to run rings around him, The first season Fontaine arrived he looked class and cool under pressure but I think that was down to the fact that he was seen as the junior partner in the defensive line up now with Flint being the defensive KingPin perhaps he will again but I hope that if he has a good start to the season someone comes it to buy him in January as I think he will be off first chance he gets anyway.
I do not want to see Fontaine anywhere near Ashton Gate this afternoon. For me he is one of the major reasons why we were relegated and to start the season with him will just allow opposing teams the freedom to attack us at will. SO'D has said this week that two or three who he did not expect to be ready for first team have shown him that they are. We'll see who they are when the team is announced. My guess is that they are Wynter, Bryan and Williams.
-----------Fielding Maloney Flint Carey Cunny -------Wynter---Pack -----Adomah--JET---Bryan -----------Balders We will be very strong down our left side, and with Albert on the other will stretch teams. Not much of a physical presence up front though, and our defence will still be exposed from midfield thanks to Kelly's injury
Pre-season Bryan and Cunningham linked up really well down the left so it would be great to see that continue. Fonts did improve under SOD but I'd rather have Flint in charge of the back 4Kilkenny will master the midfield and I really hope we'll get to see Reid in action, exciting to watch. Amen
