Match Preview;
After a disappointing result against Bournemouth, we find ourselves 7th having won 3, drawn 3 and lost 1. Our opponents on Saturday, Bristol City, are 5 places and 3 points behind us, having won 2, drawn 3 and lost 2 so far. Their top scorer is Andreas Weimann who has 4 goals this season, same as our top scorer, Rob Dickie of all people. Our second highest scorer is Lyndon Dykes, with 3 goals...their second highest scorer is Chris Martin, with 2 goals. Martin also scored for Derby County in the 2014 playoff semi-final. If I remember correctly, he also blocked a shot at goal from a Derby player in the final, shortly before Bobby Zamora scored that goal. I know it was seven years ago now, and I need to move on...but it is hard.

A win for us could see us back in the playoffs, and I know it is still very early in the season, but a win for City should see them move into the top half, where they will be hoping to stay, as opposed to being dragged to the lower end of the table. They have drawn their last two, against Luton and Preston, so will be eager to get some points.

Not sure what the latest is on Austin after his knock and family loss, or Dykes, but I'll add team news as and when it goes on the official, and as always add what you know below...and...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

WLS reported Warburton was confident Moses would be available for Saturday, hopeful Austin would be too, if not he should be for Toffees. I hadn't heard of any problem with Dykes, after Bournemouth.

3 points needed if we are to stay in touch with the top 2, or close to the top 6.

Only after Dykes came off for Scotland, or was that not for an injury? Thought he had a small knock but nothing serious...seemed ok against Bournemouth so probably nothing.

Read he had a calf injury after the last Scotland game. He seemed ok Tuesday, hopefully there was no recurrence.
 
Anyone who uses the Chiltern Line to get to matches, there are engineering works and ‘bus replacement services’ north of Aylesbury, expect delays, and, for some reason, higher prices. This impacts me from Leamington, would suggest you look it up to make sure things are clear for you.

Also no Circle Line on Saturday and chunks of the District Line closed too.

I’m coming via the Coventry mainline to Euston instead.

Big test this weekend. I think we’ve been flattering to deceive so far. Great spirit and fight, but scrambling to stay in games, never really dominating. We are clearly a good, or potentially good team, but we need to win easy more often, rather than these stress inducing knife edge performances, which could, in all fairness, go either way. Let’s start on Saturday.

Cheers Dave.

Unfortunately I'm going to miss this game as we're taking our youngest daughter up to Nottingham where she starts university. I hope all of you who are there come out of the KPFS with big smiles on your faces.

Nice clip featuring Uncs and what he thinks of the team ...

Hope it’s a calm and easy drop off mate, and she has a great time up there. Is she at Nottingham or Trent? My daughter has mates at both, they love the city. Let’s hope she gets to see some academic staff in the flesh as well…..

I’ll have one in the Stewart for you.

Thanks mate. She's going to Nottingham. Hopefully I'll raise a glass with you when I get home to a Rangers victory.

I have a spare ticket going for the game tomorrow. I can't go for covid reasons - just precaution as I am a distant contact of a positive case. I am just back in the country so rather than risk infecting anybody, I am staying home.

If anybody wants to go, let me know and I can email them the ticket. It is a good seat in one of the middle blocks of the Upper Loft. No money required.

Cheers.

Am looking forward to watching this match (QPR+).

Hope we we continue to play well and score, plus avoid giving away “cheap goals”. A clean sheet and 3 points would be very welcome.

Enjoy the match wherever you watch it today, especially those at HQ.

I wonder if Stefan will continue from the 2nd half at Bornemouth as our deepest lying midfield player with Ball further forward. Though Dozzell maybe a better option further forward than Ball.
