Jerseybean Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 Hello from a Bristol City fan in peace. Ahead of our forthcoming game I’m putting together the opening post for our forum’s (One Team in Bristol, https://www.otib.co.uk/?_fromLogin=1) match thread, which will be posted the day before the match. I would like to include some perspectives from your fans so if anybody would like to share info please do, anything would be appreciated, fans thoughts about the game, players who have represented both clubs, tales from when we’ve met previously, a fans view on your season, pubs for away fans, etc. Look forward to receiving info and to a great game.

GaryC Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 One player that came to mind for me was Derrick Williams, represented both Rovers and Bristol City 1 Quote

Being such an attacking full back, surprising that Bailey scored so few career goals. 3 Quote
Ossydave Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 It's not really a fixture I look forward to be honest Jerseybean, no offence, I'm sure you hardly look forward to playing us either.... It's a pig of a journey too, I remember going to your place on a Sunday for an early KO the other season, thanks sky. Your ground is however the best in terms of facilities in the away end. We haven't faired particularly well against you lot either the past few seasons, a few draws thrown in their. We don't draw many this season mind. Your recent away form looks grim but we love bucking trends in that respect. 1 Quote
rigger Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 I am not too bothered about being beaten by Leeds, but if we lose to Bristol City, that will be a cause to worry. 7 Quote
G Somerset Rover Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) I posted as much in the Leeds thread but I have a feeling we’re set for a mini death spiral. Hopefully not of the Mowbray variety. Rovers 1 City 2 Edited December 10, 2023 by Gavlar Somerset Rover! Quote

Pretty impressive career. Our recent record against BC is poor, well awful, no wins in 6 over the past 3 seasons, 3 draws and 3 defeats which include 2 at Ewood.

davulsukur Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 2 losses on the bounce, a paper thin squad looking knackered and wretched home form isn't exactly inspiring a lot of confidence for this one. Could really do with freshening things up a bit but there isn't many options to do so. ------------------Wahlstedt Brittain----Hill----Carter-----Pickering -----------Tronstad---Wharton Moran--------Szmodics-----Sigurdsson --------------------Leonard I'd start Ennis or Telalovic if JDT thinks either could do a job. Not many options otherwise. Travis at least can come back and boost the bench. 1 Quote
simongarnerisgod Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 leonard was bad yesterday,id`e start ennis,see if he can do an hour then bring leonard on 5 Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) 2-1 infront of an increasingly apathetic home crowd. 11,900 Dare we lose this one? Edited December 10, 2023 by SIMON GARNERS 194 Quote
roverblue Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 I want to be positive so let’s go for a 1-1 draw. Get Ennis and Telalovic on for Britain and Leonard and let’s actually get to see them play a game. They can’t do any worse than them two after yesterday Quote

roversfan99 Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Always skeptical of stats like these but it matches the eye test. Leonard is a poor finisher and added to that, has been anonymous in the last 2 games. Hes a young lad, clearly has something about him but I dont want him to repeatedly start as he isnt ready. Sadly we have little alternative. Maybe give Ennis a start and see if he can do 45-60 minutes and bring Leonard on then? Quote
roverblue Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Same as always, the front three are fluid in this system and play across the line from what I have seen at home games. Quote
