MATCH THREAD: Into the great unknown. Bristol City (H) -11th Aug, 2018

[Montreal Wanderer]

2-0 Bolton. This is just the beginning.

I love the bold predictions, CH. Keep this up and they'll be building massive monuments of you in South Dakota. Oh, wait....

Oi Mullayo:

Can you change the date in the title to the 11th? It is widely acknowledged that Ken, Parky and the team depend solely on this thread for advice and tactics and it would be the biggest tactical error ever made to turn up for the match the following day . Ta.

[Prufrock]

Forty-five games left, one-hundred-and-thirty-five points on offer, one-hundred-and-thirty-eight points achievable.

I don't see what the problem is.

Indeed, Sir, just what I was thinking!

Piss poor effort.

I'd have gone for:

'They only have a gate, we've got a whole stadium - Bristol City (H) 11/08/18'

Or somesuch.

[Enoch]

Mind you, I'd have probably filed it under Match Threads .

BBC reporting that Sammy is doubtful for the game. Not sure if that's Jack guessing or if it's a known known.

I assume that'd just mean Wildschut slots in and Buckley moves right, unless Noone is going to get his shot?

I fancy us to win this one. Bristol kept Forest down to one goal, but they were at home and got lucky at times. I think we can stick a couple past them.

If Sammi is in the squad it could be mind games; if not, then obviously a worry. We have to look at anybody getting inured, but so do everybody else. I'm more confident with this squad than I've been for a while despite hope springing eternal and all that stuff. We can do this and have to believe that about every game.

I absolutely think we can win any game in this division. Some are just less likely

Sorry I forgot. That's my NZ time.

Bolton team news: SAmeobi (hip), Ozzy (short-back syndrome), ALF (Parky doesn't like him) and Donaldson (groin) all in doubt.

Bristol have all kind of dramas/options going on. So many I couldn't get my head around it and gave up.
Wasn't familiar enough with the players.

1) Striker Famara out suspended. Mo Eisa got 12 minutes last game.

2) Keeper Frank Fielding out injured. Niki Maenpaa will keep.

3) Left back will likely be Lloyd Kelly or Jay DaSilva after Joe Bryan was sold

4) Also sold were two others of their top players centreback Aden Flint and attacking mid Bobby Reid - their top scorer.
In all they sold 5 players, released 4 and bought 8.

I don't like their tone, instead of crying over an injury they seem to be looking forward to giving someone else game time.Weirdos.

Fantastic. Great stuff. One game played and physio is the busiest scene since Quinton Fortune left. No wonder Phil wanted 47 new players.

I hear you Tango,
Noone will step up and save the day.
Sorry forgot the dash.
No-one will step up and save the day.

I'm running bloody late. We're bound to be 2-0 up in the first 15 mins because I'll get there at 3:20.

[TANGODANCER]

No Sammi sadly, but we'll get there. Alf and Oztumer are on the bench. On the countdown and I'm still confident this team can get a result at the schoolyard. No jumpers for goalposts at Universities, cap and gowns only here, posh us. Tower lads reckong Bristol could get an education here today (boo) Five to go, lace up the boots, deep breathing on the spot and get set...COME ON YOU WHITES....

[mullayo]

We're playing the same as last week. Just worse with no SAmeobi. 4-5-1 at home. What about Oz and ALF?
Hope they get game time.

[TANGODANCER]

Chris Price is mic man, Gary Henshaw in there too. The Bristols don't seem to have sent so many fans, but it's a few leagues away in the distabce sense. We go and Noone tries to feed Magennis early and they clear, break and win a corner. A short break in the sattelite ensues we are just guessing what's happening. Electronics not stong at the uni? Anyway, we're back now and...Bristol make a bright start and now have a throw.

[mullayo]

Beevers concedes a corner he could have headed out.
