Petriix 3,207 Posted September 22, 2017 I find it best not to get my hopes up! Hopefully we can keep our new found defensive discipline going. I''d be happy with a 1-0 win but wouldn''t see a defeat as a disaster as long as we play ok. We are still a work in progress but hopefully we will keep things moving in the right direction.

SwindonCanary 457 Posted September 22, 2017 predicting the opposite a boring 0-0 draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,709 Posted September 22, 2017 I''m rather hoping for a 1-0 to the Norwich. Don''t want to go overboard & start stuffing the opposition, rapidly followed by unbridled optimism, rapidly followed by defensive disasters (again), but rather concentrate on (figuratively) strangling our opponents & putting away one of our chances.Stuffing other teams can wait till we''ve honed the defensive side & don''t even have to think about it. We''ve cot more than enough creativity & firepower in our squad to be well up there come May - but we must have an absolutely dependable defence (& defensive attitude throughout the team) or it will all come to nought.

Branston Pickle 4,129 Posted September 23, 2017 IMO we''re continually going to find it hard to break down well-drilled sides this season, I doubt it will be any different today, but we should certainly have enough to get the points. It''s all about taking chances, something that was amiss against Burton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidderminster Exile 0 Posted September 23, 2017 If we can score in the first 30 mins I can see the game opening up as Bristol have to change game plan .I expect a win by at least 2 goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,129 Posted September 23, 2017 Bristol are a good team at the moment so if we can get a result like at Sheffield I''d happily take it. Stick with a tough low score draw though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,813 Posted September 23, 2017 Last season Brizzle came to CR unbeaten with a bit of a reputation and supposed pedigree with Kodjia and co. We burst their bubble then and perhaps we can do the same today, stifling their attacks and getting forwards ourselves. Don''t see it as being too an open a game because if BC play as they usually do and us with focus still on keeping it tight at the back (we surely have to be defensive minded until that element is embedded in our game) it will be them attacking more and us defending more than we might like, but it has to be like that atm. So for me another battling 1-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 586 Posted September 23, 2017 They are eight games unbeaten in all competitions. Let''s not make it nine. My Bristol Rovers supporting friends are desperate for us to stop them in their tracks. Come on City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonzo 198 Posted September 23, 2017 its a very exciting prospect - let''s hope we are at our best and that the ref has a good game too. I expect Bristol will come and play football. The ball is round and anything could happen and Bristol are the form horses with a good away record but a victory for us would be fantastic. It is a result that we are more than capable of achieving.
