On paper Bristol have got some really decent strikers for division one and are more than capable of causing our backline some problems but saying that there’s a reason why they are struggling in the bottom half of the league so I’m going for a nervy 1 nil win for us.
Listening to local radio on my way to 5 a side tonight and the gasheads fear us and would take a draw. They reckon Luke Thomas will get a great reception, Bobby not so much. I'm going 2-0 reds. I think we'll have too much in the tank and they'll gas out
We’re on a good run of form and have a good away record. I’m going 3-1 to us. Cole, Norwood & Anderson to score.
We've got better players and a better manager who will demand the team remains grounded. We'll win by more than one goal and that's probably where my money will go.
Bit worried that we have been allocated weak rookie ref Thomas Parsons from Rochdale who is in his first season and has only done 4 games at this level. His first L1 game was his shockingly poor display at Oakwell against Port Vale earlier in the season. As long as there's no return to undue refereeing lunacy I think we'll win 2-0 or 2-1. I have a strange feeling that we're going to get a penalty in one of the next two games too!
This is the game where we finally come from behind to win. The Gas nicking an early goal we level up and then go on for a comfortable win.
