Happy Fox Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 This season has been the reverse of many previous ones in the way in which we have put away poor sides with ease. There was a time that if a side came to us on a losing streak (eg Millwall last year) you could bet your bottom dollar on us failing to take advantage. Even against Barnsley this year we managed to scrape a point. Conversely, we used to be freakishly successful against sides that were flying, but we've been beaten at home by Palace and Cardiff (although that win on Teesside looks better with each passing week). This season our record against the top half teams isn't great atm but their is still time to improve that we are 11th http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2012-2013/versus-top-half/full
Father Ted Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 I can see us winning 3-0, similar to how we did at Scunthorpe a couple of seasons back. EDIT: Bristol City haven't kept a clean sheet all season and we have kept 11 in the league so far.
Babylon Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 This season our record against the top half teams isn't great atm but their is still time to improve that we are 11th http://www.statto.co...s-top-half/full I always think they are a little deceiving, when we beat Blackpool and Huddersfield early on their were in great form and in the top few spots. Where as others have played them after they have dropped off. Hang on... we have beaten Hull, Boro, Brighton, Derby, Burnley who are all in the top 12. Do Burnley not count as top half?
ScouseFox Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 If Wood doesn't score in the first five minutes shit will hit the fan
Corky Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 If we're at our best we'll win, goal difference is fine but a comfortable win won't hurt ahead of the Middlesbrough match.
Spudulike Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Something usually goes wrong at Ashton Gate from missed penalties to comedy goals. That said, loved Lloyd's stoppage time equaliser a couple of seasons back and the subsequent celebrations 'orrble place to lose and I'm not predicting anything other than I'll be floating all the way home if we win
ashwj Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Moved to Bristol few months back, feeling here is that we should walk it. I don't think they have managed a clean sheet all season and Danns has been their best player recently. Think Adomah is their only real threat but I just can't see us loosing. This is 3 points we have to take, Bristol are a mess at the minute and are there to be beat. I still have that nagging fear of looking like a tit on Monday if we just don't turn up though!

Adomah can't play as he's joined up with the Ghana squad for the ACON
Bluetintedspecs Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Fancy a good day for us 4-0 win, Wood double Nuge and Knocky
theessexfox Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 We're on form, got a new striker banging them in, Danns isn't playing for them, Adomah their best player can't play... 2-0 Bristol City
davieG Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 It's all about hitting the back of the net and not the woodwork which we seem particularly attracted too.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Think if we score first and keep a clean sheet we might win this one. You just never know, Craig David say Bo
Corky Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 It's all about hitting the back of the net and not the woodwork which we seem particularly attracted too. Yet when it was required (Crossbar Challenge) we couldn't hit it. Re-double the efforts I think.
C-man Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 This has got Bristol City win to nil written all over it. 7/1 at bet365.
Guest Col city fan Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Fancy a good day for us 4-0 win, Wood double Nuge and Knocky Not 7-0 this time....? I fancy us for victory 1-3
Bluetintedspecs Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Not 7-0 this time....? I fancy us for victory 1-3 Take it you left early saturday and missed the 5 late goals then mate?
Leicester_Numan Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 So is everyone saying we should play 4-4-2 away from home then?
Munshi Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 So is everyone saying we should play 4-4-2 away from home then? We'll do what we want cuz we iz maSSive
Bluetintedspecs Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 So is everyone saying we should play 4-4-2 away from home then? No I think we will employ the 2 - 8 formation
Brooksy Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 We normally lose when everyone's this positive. 1-0 Bristol.
shiv Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 We haven't won there for a few years, so I reckon we'll do well to get a draw. Hope I'm proved wrong but I think we'll lose 2-1.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 We normally lose when everyone's this positive. 1-0 Bristol. Did Santa not bring you what you wanted Brooksy? Bah humbug
Munshi Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 3-1 Bristol - Them absolutely all over us for the full 90 , As Kasper is so pissed off he runs over to the bench and kicks futacs in the balls, Knockaert immediantly runs over to Kasper shouting "Come onn baabbyy" to which Leicester fans invade the pitch and take the corner flags, the game is then called off. Just to balance the books.
