All off to Ashton Gate!

I just hope Gerry Gow isn't playing, nasty little tw@t.

Anyone know if tickets are on the gate? I'm hoping I can make it but not 100% yet...

I've seen on other forums that people post stats of the teams they are about to play, which I thought was a nice touch. So here's Bristol City's stats:

Played -41
Points - 40
Position - 24/24
Recent form - WLLDL

Bristol City are scrapping for their lives. Having taken the lead against Burnley last weekend they eventually capitulated after their 12 goal top scorer, Steve Davies, had a penalty saved which would have put them 2-0 up and eased their relegation worries. (Davies scored two of his 12 against the Wanderers earlier this year.) They now find themselves 8 points adrift of safety with 15 available. Losing to the Wanderers could not see them relegated, no matter what happens at other grounds, but would only put them one more loss away from League One.

In the reverse fixture Bolton ran out 3-2 winners after Jimmy Phillips' first game in charge saw them come from two goals down, with goals from Spearing, Eagles and Petrov.

The five games in which we have previously played the Robins in the league have seen us win 2, draw 1 and lose 2.

The highest position we can find ourselves in after the game is 5th, and the lowest 8th.

Current odds put us 11/8 to win. With Bristol on 13/8 to win.

Certainly at Ashton Gate. 3 league wins in the 25 league games we've played there.

Three games in seven days may well see changes, not that much though. ^

is one of them injured?

Odelusi is a wild stab in the dark I'll admit.
But my crystal ball has always been dark and cracked (and not very ball shaped).

There's only four (or is it five) major changes to the Wolvish lineup.

Bristol City: The only team that cannot mathematically qualify for the play offs (16th is their best bet).

Conversely, mathematically you have to stop at 4th placed palace for the teams who can still get relegated

There's 5 games left.

What a bonkers league
