Bristol City Vs Swindon Matchday Thread

[Matchworn Shirts]

3-1 defeat

Tempting (despite having been at the MK game on Saturday), if whoever you've most recently offered the ticket to doesn't go for it then yeah, why not.

Cool. I'll get back to you about 12pm.

[Costanza]

Surely there's a TEFer with the enthusiasm to come on here with a rallying battle cry...

Anybody?
Somebody?
Nobody?

Sigh

[REDBUCK]

What's the point, we'll only be disappointed

[4D]

We are going to hammer them, 4-0. Playing 3-6-1.

[JayBox325]

Here we go...

COME ON TOWN FANS. GET BEHIND THE TEAM!!

[Benzel]

We're better away from home Cotterill is foaming at the mouth (when isn't he?) he'll have them overhyped, the morons in the stand will push it further and we'll counter attack with some of the best football we've played all season.

That or Stephens will get sent off after half an hour and we'll lose 2-0.

I'm still going option A though.

[4D]

I don't know why the city fans are so nervous going into this game. I don't think we'll score. Hope I'm wrong.

[inept and tiresome]

The best we can hope for is, to keep the score down to three nil and eleven players still on the pitch at full time.
I've had the piss ripped out of me all morning (and that's from pox arsholes) I'd like to thank the Town players very much.
The sad thing about modern football, is that a lot of players that laid down and died on Saturday will be playing at a higher level next season.

 I don't see it as must win...autos have gone, and PO's more or less certain, so we need to look at how to approach the final few games. Given that 4th or 5th is likely to involve a game v Blades, a noted cup side, there's definitely an advantage to be had in finishing 3rd. A point would put us on a par with Franchise, and a defeat, still within range.

I think this game is all about trying to hold onto finishing 3rd and keeping the Shitty's last win against us in 2003.

Autos are gone, but the possibility of doing the 'double' hasn't. It would be amazing if we did, and such a confidence booster for the final run in.

Would also reduce the gap for Preston.

Well, this isn't quite true. I'm hoping for a 6-0 Town win, a few City sendings off and Dean Lewington to run on the pitch, shove Cotterill over and then get a ten game ban.

Hope and expectation however, are different things

aren't they 2 points ahead of us?

it's natural to see pessimism here. we just witnessed a limp end to our shot at autos. to be honest we should really acknowledge Preston have been shit hot at the right time.

in any case I'm wondering if Thompson being suspended could actually be a good thing. maybe we will have to drop defenders into defence, put a midfielder into midfield and play our best strike partnership. Flint will dominate a loan smith, but he hates being run at .

let's fucking do it. then rest players v Preston if there is nothing riding on it

[kerry red]

Fuck 'em in the ear!
