    Would you take it? Or with the run we are on, would you turn the offer down.

    I must admit, even though Bristol City are rock bottom, I wouldn't be disappointed with a point on Saturday. We'd have to follow it up with a win over Bolton but I would take a point.

    Here's hoping for all three though! :)

    Good chance of a win if you ask me, they are struggling - only scored last night through a shocking own-goal, no pressure, just nodded it in.

    Our lads must feel invincible at the moment and possibly with a point to prove to Mr O'Driscol. Just need to make sure there's no complacency, but I'm confident that Flicker will sort that out.

    Do you think if we did get O'Driscol in we will be were he is now or have we got a better side?

    No Given the run we are on I would take our chances of getting all 3 - our run does have to come to an end sometime but whilst its still going lets try and keep the momentum up

    That said if we come away with a point I think that would be OK - in fact it wouldnt be the end of the world if we lose - 5 more wins from the remaining games is all that is needed.

    Its a must win game for Bristol - for us its a be great to win game

    No, we're a better side. But I think we dodged 2 bullets with SOD and Butcher.

    I'd take a point now. In fact I'd take a point from every match from now until the end of the season, might just see us safe ;-)

    Id be happy with a point, but any less considering the form we're in would be a disappointment. I think we'll get a win to be honest, O"Driscoll will have them playing a patient game and I reckon we'll break away quick and score a couple. We seem to have got the counter attack nailed now so I think we'll put it to good use against them on Saturday.

    They seem to lack a bit of firepower too, so I don't see our back line being tested too sternly.

    A point wouldn't be the end of the world but you've got to look at the way both teams are playing at the moment - you'd have to fancy us.

    We are going to lose at some point though and it won't necessarily happen in a game where we expect it.

    No, absolutely not. Nothing to do with the £25 I have riding on the Reds at 17/10. :D
