Popular Post Dean Posted August 26, 2016 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hello, A Bristol City fan here just checking what everybody was saying / thinking about the game coming up. After reading through these posts I can see most people are saying that you should win. Although we only won 7 games at home last season most of them came later on in the season after we sacked cotterill. Since Lee Johnson has taken over we seem to have played better and been able to grind out results, and for people wondering the teams we have put out during the EFL Cup has been pretty much a "Second Team" not saying that some of the players won't play against you. But it was mainly a game where players were rested so that we could have a fresh team against you. Best of luck for Saturday (Although if i'm hoping for a nice 2-1 win for Bristol City) Any questions i'll try get back on later and answer! Cheers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obanken Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thank you for your input Dean. Although many say we should win, I do think many forget that we have not won away for a year. People are optimistic because of the team we are assembling, and rightly so. So its a waiting game to see how fast the new players gel. There are signs of that already, and hopefully it continues tomorrow. Best of luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 4 games we've played so far we lost 1-0 to Newcastle (Home) 1-0 To Norwich (Away) and beat Wigan 2-1 (Home) and Burton 2-1 (Away) The 2 games we won we didn't play well The two games we Lost we played well just were unable to put the ball into the back of the net and create decent chances.

Hi Dean, teams only score against us when our goalkeeper gifts it to them on a plate (Sheff Wed & Huddersfield) otherwise nobody has created a goal against our defence. If our goalkeeper can avoid any rushes of blood to the head then I think you will find Villa tougher opposition than anyone you have played to date. Good luck for the season (but not the game).

Yeah I've got a villa fan in work who said your keeper seems to have cost you 4 points. Abraham for us seems to be causing teams problems since his arrival but I think it will be a close game. Newcastle has been our hardest test but 1-0 wasn't too bad of a result and could of been a draw. Looking forward to the match and hopefully attending the game at your ground as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the match and hopefully attending the game at your ground as well We have a couple of injuries to players that would be expected to start (Gestede & Tshibola) but hopefully we have enough cover at the moment to see us over the line. New players Jedinak & De Laet should start for us and we are looking at one or two other players before the transfer deadline to strengthen what we all hope will be our upwards exit from this division (no disrespect to the Championship but it has been a long time since we fell so low and we want out asap).

Thanks for your input. Haha no worries! We struggled last year but since Lee Johnson took over I think we had Play off form. With all the signings we've made over the summer we are trying to push the top half of the table (I think most fans would be happy with 10-14th). Although our team at the moment are in a similar situation with a few players injured so should be a similar playing field. Also we've sold out the stadium tomorrow but at a reduced capacity for some reason (had a higher capacity for Newcastle). Hope everybody coming down has a good day and hopefully enjoy the atmosphere as sometimes it can be quiet... Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dean, I have a lot of time for the west country folk, friendliest most chilled out part of the country. Those Rovers fans are very rude about you though.

We haven't won away in a year. Their home form is way better than away form. Therefore, it wouldn't be a shock if they won. Jeepers. This team didnt play last season....

Villan_of_oz Posted August 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Even though I have to stay up till 1.30 am I am well and truly pumped for this match. Should be the first time I can watch it too..... few more bourbons should help pass the time. Time for us to open a can some unsuspecting team .... Just looked.... cant watch it.... well upset. The VT match thread is going to be my entertainment. Edited August 27, 2016 by Villan_of_oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
