The Officially Short Bristol City v Blackburn Rovers Match Day Thread

Good morning all. 

I hope you will all forgive me for a very short starter thread as I am about to catch a flight to Havana.

I leave it to you all including Big Tone to come up with some wise words for the day and I look forward to reading it all this evening.

2-1 to City.

Blackburn. Only town with four successive FA Cup wins. Rovers intermittently since then a Big Club. Bigger than us, anyway. The other BRFC plays in suspiciously similar colours :( 

They'll probably play in a pink and puce away strip today :o

PS Horace says there are 5,000 holes there, many of them des res for hedgehogs.

Very apprehensive about today's game, after the poor display at Rotherham another defeat could be a disaster for morale and confidence. Blackburn have Rhodes and fear he might be the key difference between the sides today - hope I'm wrong and we can start strong and take the lead, as can't see us coming back it we fall behind.

Feel downbeat, can't see anything here

 

hope I am proven wrong and the fact that this is a game I won't be at (other home games I've missed this season are Leeds 2-2, Hull 1-1, Wolves 1-0 and MK 1-1 would suggest its going to be a good result!) may prove decisive !

P.S Bad luck everyone I will be back for QPR and Boxing Day as well as Reading away :P

I am feeling very nervous about this one, as I predicted in that thread, I can only see us getting a draw at 1 - 1  It is a depressing day here, it has been raining on and off for a week now and today started brightly, but by 10 am it was raining again and hasn't stopped since. Now at 15.50 it is dark, come on City make me happy and get an overdue win!    COYR's

This is exactly how I felt this morning. A couple of beers has fortified me and given me more hope.

The moment i've been waiting for , my chance of Forum glory ...

 

clears throat ...

 

Blackburn , :blink: ...

 

umm .. 

Blackburn , a shithole in the North .

over to Big Tone for the condensed  version .

Here's hoping Big Tone makes a swift comeback, if under the weather.  In his absence, I can only offer a poor unworthy condensed version.

 

"Blackburn?     w4^k"

I have every confidence in the team every Saturday at this time. I see no reason why today should be any different. 

Blackburn are the benchmark for an average team in this division. If we play as well as we have done for most games this season, we should do alright. 

COYR's.

It's a start but would rather have seen him in for Freeman and someone else in the holding role.

I'd question whether Pack is technically a holding midfielder. Smith certainly is. But Pack... Not quite so sure. 

I think Bobby will do well today.

I agree but Pack sits way deeper than Freeman which is where I would like to see Reid.

Ahhhh. He does sit deeper than freeman but that doesn't necessarily make him a holding midfielder. 

I'm not a pack basher, not by any means. But he's not particularly good at breaking up play like Korey and doesn't have the skills or creativity that Freeman has (had!). He certainly passes well, but in what is a fragile midfield, I wonder if there's genuinely a place for a wonderful passer who in all honesty doesn't tackle, beat people or offer a threat going forward. 

This is Bobby's big chance. And I hope he takes it.

You obviously didn't watch the same city shooting practice/warm up as me! The words cow, arse and banjo spring to mind :laugh:

Big opportunity for him today for sure, hope he grabs it with both hands. 

Going to need to be disciplined position ally without the ball though as if we leave the back three too exposed with Rhodes sniffing around we're in trouble.
