Tomas Kalas is still not ready to return to the Bristol City team, having not recovered fully from tendonitis.
Jay Dasilva is back in training after breaking his leg on the opening day of the season, but he is unlikely to play for a few more weeks.
Blackburn are without 10-goal Bradley Dack, who serves a one-game ban, so Lewis Holtby is expected to come in.
Danny Graham and Stewart Downing may be rested as Tony Mowbray looks to manage his players for the Christmas schedule.
Match facts
  • Bristol City completed a league double over Blackburn in the Championship last season, their first league double over them since 1990-91.
  • Blackburn have lost their last two league visits to Bristol City in 2016-17 and 2018-19, last winning there in December 2015.
  • Bristol City have lost just one of their last nine home league games (W4 D4), however that defeat did come in their last such game (1-2 against Millwall).
  • Blackburn will be aiming to make it six league games without defeat (W4 D1), which last happened in a single season between February-April 2018 (a run of 14), in League One.
  • Bristol City have scored 11 goals in the final 15 minutes of Championship games this season - only West Brom (13) have scored more.
  • Since his EFL debut in August 2012, Blackburn's Bradley Dack has scored nine league goals during the month of December - only in November (10) has he scored more.
 
Last 2 home games, shocking performances, bloody terrible I just hope this isn’t the start of another Johnson losing streak.
 
I feel it may very well be the case Tom and we have gone down a very similar route each season that Lee has been in charge. I admit we are still holding our own but until we grab the visitors by the throat down at Ashton Gate we have little prospect of being a challenger in this division. Do we really think another transfer window will solve our issues or do we have a larger and deeper problem? Just asking.
 
I don't think Mark Ashton intends to spend much in January. He seems to call the shots when it comes to transfers.

IMO we are heading for another mid-table finish, dropping away again at the end. It seems we know what LJ's limit is after four years and this is it. Depends whether that is enough for the Lansdowns. If not then invest in a coach who has proven success at this level. If they're happy with this then expect Groundhog Day for the forseeable future.
 
Just in from our Xmas party tonight,went straight from watching the **** at the gate.
At least tonight made up for the shower of **** I have watched this week.
LJ taken that group off players to his limit.
This week has been truly hard to watch.

I was doing a "research" on form patterns published it in week before last game. We had had a good run but so had MILLWALL … EVERY SEASON FOR SOME REASON WE JUST GO NEGATIVE AND LOSE LOSE LOSE I was looking to see if there was any regular period we did it, was inconclusive .. but usually we have strung together a couple of bad runs one much worse then the other ….. so far this season our results have only been average! the division is so erratic .. WBA seems to be the walk away team this season

Pathetic result, again !
We're fast becoming an average and very inconsistent team in an average and inconsistent division where any little bit of quality lifts you above the majority of the others.
Changes needed

Very erratic league, Forest losing 4.0 at home, Barnsley putting 5 past QPR, Cardiff coming from behind to draw at Leeds........Typical Championship
