2 questions:

- Any recommendations on where to drink prematch, that cricket ground looks awful and probs waiting 30 mins to get a drink, don’t mind city centre but surely not all saints are going cricket ground. 

- Any recommendations on where to head post match to go out in Bristol that isn’t going to be a student club?

Probably a bit late but I'm in the Bristol Beer Factory and it's really good in here.

Loads of great beer. Good atmosphere. Home and away fans.

Great to see Brooks starting, hoping he gets a goal tonight 😊 Edozie too 😊I did have a feeling the midfield three to start tonight would be Charles, Smallbone and Rothwell 😊 COYR 😊

I would have liked to see Mara starting.

[trousers]

Very attack minded bench... Just the two defenders and no holding midfielder 

[Saint Pete]

Yep, happy with that lineup. Sensible that Charles comes in with Downes out. Good options off the bench if we need them.

[Sheaf Saint]

Great to see Edozie back in the starting lineup. Fraser did amazing in his absence, but he's looked slightly jaded in the last couple of games so going back to super-sub is probably a good thing.

Brooks and Rothwell starting is promising. About the best midfield we can field with the players we currently have missing. 

Arma moving into the middle?

Another frighteningly good bench we can turn to if things aren't going our way.

[CB Fry]

Get out there and do it for Steve Wright

[saintant]

Another strong bench and could be key as it was on Saturday. Not sure about Arma through the middle but let's see.

[Saint_Ash]

I like that we can make a few changes and still look strong with a strong bench. Looking to score loads of goals and not control the midfield. Should be a fun night.

That would be rather nice. But after Saturday's first half scare I'll be more than happy with a scrappy 1-0 win.

Yes indeed, that's a mouth watering bench.

Mara can feel a bit peeved at not starting, but I'm sure he'll come on in the second half, along with Fraser, to cause havoc against tiring defenders. Plus we have games coming thick and fast, so they'll both get plenty of game time (barring injuries of course).

Nice to see the Edozie/Fraser tag team back up and running!

Anyone know if we’re on Sky? 😬

[obelisk]

Seems like they're going for it. Draws are really no good as we approach the run in. I'm looking for a comfortable promotion slot easily in the bag by the time we go to Elland Rd.

[Convict Colony]

Used to bang a bird who lived round the corner from ashton gate when i lived in bristol.

Therefore tonight we will give them a good dicking.

4-0

That's good because that means replays and a proper commentary team and not some kids on work experience.

Drat, off to training in the wet and cold at 8. I believe the Friday game is also on Sky main channel? Down the pub for that if it is.

More by necessity than design, I can’t think of anybody in our squad who could/should be there instead of who we have.

You gotta love Frannie, he's as authentic as it gets - but you couldn't really call him the font of all knowledge when it comes to punditry!

[Patches O Houlihan]

I can't see us keeping a clean sheet tonight. I'm going 1-1 at half time, finishing 1-3 with a sub scoring at least one.

Maybe Bragg instead of Amo-Ameyaw? (If we had wanted defensive midfield cover)

Jason Euell doing co-punditing with Franny. Remember when we played him as a holding midfielder?

I wouldn't tell them tbh. Just focus on your own game, don't get forced into panic mode by an early goal somewhere else.
