Thomas - Jaidi - Trottman - Harding

Lallana - James - Hammond - Mills

Waigo - Lambert

 

Quite a solid looking team, always got Saga and Holmes on the bench who can change the game quite a bit. Always nice to have decent options coming off the bench, that was one of our biggest problems at the start of the season now we have decent cover all over the pitch apart from goal really.

Just thought I'd share a bit of a heads up about Rover's loanee Chris Dickson. Apparently one to watch.

 

Gillingham were trying their hardest to sign him over the summer, with a view to using him as replacement for the outgoing Simeone Jackson. Alas Charlton put up lots of obstacles as they hate dealing with Scally. I believe that Mark Stimson is a good and wily manager and if he wanted Dickson the he should be a real good prospect.

 

 

Even in the loan window The Gills persevered, but again The Latics stood firm, eventually letting him go out to Rovers as a compromise.

Apparently since the behind the scenes wranglings Paul Scally has stated that he WILL NOT have any dealings with Charlton Athletic unless it is absolutely unavoidable.

i'm pretty sure schneiderlin will start, i thought he was arguably our best player saturday, really busting a gut to get back and cover especially for lloyd james.

Agree - I'd go with Andy's team but wth Morgan replacing Lloydy. And if it's not going well, get Holmes on early doors. As has been said on this site before, Morgan played some of his best footie for us when he had Holmes hugging the touchline as an outlet for his passing.

What's happened to Paterson? Can't he even make the bench now?

Got a bad felling about this one. The corner will not be turned just yet.

Its going to be a struggle to stay up this year.

 

 

I'll back this up by saying we wont beat Gillingham either. We are nearly a quater of the way through the season and are still having difficulty in the final third. If things don't change soon our performances will start getting worse like they did last season.

I've seen nothing yet that suggests things will get better.

I have just rung the club and been told that any unclaimed tickets will travel up on the bus. However, no assurances could be given as to what time the bus would arrive and knowing Bristol traffic like we locals do, there is a possibility that there will be a lot of people trying to get their tickets from the Memorial Stadium ticket office, possibly close to kick off time. With this in mind, I am going to take a day off tomorrow and go to SMS and pick mine up. It's called 'peace of mind'.

Big game for us.

 

Win and we really have turned the corner taking 7 points from last 9 on offer and taking 9 from 15 in the whole month of september. Which would have us 3rd in the table for that month.

 

Lose and it would be 6 from 15 in that month. Which would have us 9th.

 

So while it marks only our 10th game it must now be said after this game that the season is no longer "new". The team has had time with the manager and should all be familliar with one another.

 

Bristol are a good team. 3rd in the table and joint top with Leeds on recent form. They have scored 14 goals and let in just 7. A well oiled group who are doing very well. It will be a tough game.

If we assume that players are now fit i would go for

 

--------------Davis------------

James---Jaidi---Trottman----Harding

 

Lallana---Hammond---Morgan---Holmes

 

---------Waigo------Lambert-----------

 

I think it will be a close game and a draw 1-1. I would take that.

Erm. Isn't it an FA Cup tie?
