SuperMikey Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 Derek McInnes is a good manager, he managed to get my second team St Johnstone promoted to the SPL and keep them safely mid-table with no money to spend and a shocking team. I think he'll do well with Brizzle this season, but can't see them beating us on Saturday, even with our temperamental away form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K,Billy's supersound Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 maynard adomah (MoM) and killkenny were bristol city's best players today but last 20mins city were tired and happy to just defend adomah seem to be knackerd at 70mins and maynard was left isolated up top on his own for large parts. city can counter well but for me there defense is weak fontaine look shocking for the millwall game and i think will struggle up against lallana and lambert. still they should not be under estimated as they are now undefeated in last four winning three. it wont be a easy game and i would take a 1-0 win.

Jimmy_D Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 West Ham have a tricky game at home to Derby, while Boro have an even trickier game away to, uh, the other Boro... (Peterborough v Middlesbrough) As long as we put in a good perfomance and manage to get the win, I can see us extending our lead at the top.

Agreed, as long as we take care of what we do, 'control the controllables' as Adkins puts it, it really doesn't matter what anyone else does. I'd hope that's the exact attitude the players take (and it appears that they do). Doesn't stop us fans from hoping the other teams mess their own chances up though...

There was a tannoy announcement at SMS yesterday saying it was completely sold out, and not to bother travelling without a ticket. Normally I'd take that with a large pinch of salt, but us v the smackheads is probably the biggest game they'll have in brizzle this season so I tend to believe it. No prediction from me as I always jinx us when I do, but I really hope Rickie sticks one or two away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest the 'sold out' bit is just aimed at our allocation as they don't want ticketless Saints fans travelling. Nothing on the Brizzol OS suggests a sell-out for home fans. As for nearest divisional rivals, that goes to Cardiff, just 40 miles apart and a very spikey (English/Welsh) affair and usually 'bubble trips'. Reading would probably come next on their list along the M4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 21 November, 2011 Share Posted 21 November, 2011 City running into some form. As were Reading when they annihilated us all over the park and we mugged them with a 1-1.

doddisalegend Posted 21 November, 2011 Share Posted 21 November, 2011 Bristol city have hit some form with their new manager (although wins against Millwall, Burnley, the two teams directly above them don't seem massivley impresive a draw at West ham is a good result). Watching them yesterday they were pretty good going forward looked a bit dodgy at the back I thought. I reckon our midfield is better than theirs though. A few weeks back I'd of been confident of an away win but I'd take a draw now they've found a bit of forum. Hopefully Rickie will be right up for this one given his soft spot for the rovers side of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 21 November, 2011 Share Posted 21 November, 2011 Banana skin is definitely the right word for this one, Bristol City have picked up some results of late, but if we want to be genuine title contenders this should simply be just another 3 points. I hate saying "I'll take a draw" at away games, but as I think we're good enough to win this (especially with the back-up of Barnard on the bench once more), I won't say it! 3-1 Saints, our favourite scoreline. (and a game I think Adam will rediscover his goalscoring form.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 21 November, 2011 Share Posted 21 November, 2011 Some Bristol fans I know reckon they will 'smash us'. I doubt it, as has been said their defence is very slow. Their midfield was also given loads of room by an average Millwall team - we won't allow them that. Its a tricky game but we should come through if we play like we can. 1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if they get relegated especially as doncaser seem to be acquiring a few decent players albeit on short term loans.Beating Millwall means absolutely nothing.

saintneilo84 Posted 22 November, 2011 Share Posted 22 November, 2011 My boss is a City fan and we have a bit of a bet going on at work he still think we will beat them at there place as their defence is so weak his prediction was City 2-4 Saints which i don't think is a guess they are quite strong up front but their defensive frailties will leave them open to Lambert, Guly and Lallana getting a few goals.

Jack Posted 22 November, 2011 Share Posted 22 November, 2011 City fans on their forum are saying their tickets are selling well, already a biggest attendance of the season. Also a fair few of them saying they're lumping money on them to be promoted. They've had some good results, but they've come against questionable opposition (barring WHU). I watched their game at the weekend and they were only marginally better than Millwall, who were gash. 0-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
