MATCHWATCH : Bristol City (a)

[Stranded]

I'm in a what will be, will be kind of mood.

[paultheroyal]

I have a good feeling about tonight - it will be the first time we will see a starting line up and bench and go wow - its happening.

1:3 victory and cue damp squib protest march on Saturday.

Back the boys and make some noise. Come on URZ.

"Go wow"-really?
Who exactly out of our team of non-achievers has made you go wow?
Paul Ince?

As with everybody else am just hoping for a positive result otherwise Saturday is going to be a less than fun day.

If you are going to come back with me with a lame response, get the oxf*rd name right. Jesus wept.

[Royals and Racers]

Swift dropped !!!

[NathStPaul]

Wasn't Southwood man of the match against QPR?

[Ascotexgunner]

Wasn't Southwood man of the match against QPR?

Or was it Man of the Match FOR QPR

[Royals and Racers]

Ejaria missing again !!!

[Zip]

So Ejaria injured again.
He really is a disappointment this season.
Good that TMac is back.
Overall ok with the changes. At least we will have some width.
So seven currently out injured or not match fit. Still too many.

Ejaria
Halilovic
Dann
Meite
Araruna
Tetek
Azeez

[CountryRoyal]

Bizarre team.

[Ascotexgunner]

Hoilett, Hein and Ince all start.
Odd lineup.

[Sutekh]

[Sutekh]

He’s dropped Drinkwater

[tidus_mi2]

It's not a bad team to be fair.

[NathStPaul]

Wasn't Southwood man of the match against QPR?

Or was it Man of the Match FOR QPR

Would have been 7-0 without him.

[Zip]

The team makes sense to me. Swift and Drinkwater have been appalling. Laurent and Rino at CDM with Hoilett and Ince offering width. TDB in a more familiar role playing behind Joao.

He has let a lot in. Mostly not down to him but he has made some very costly errors. I doubt his confidence is great at the moment.

[Notts Royal]

Hasn’t Ejaria been a disappointment pretty much every season he’s been here? The odd purple patch, but he’s lacked impact.

Logically that should be a 4-3-3, Ince & Hoilett wide forwards. Undoubtedly, Pauno will find a way to oxf*rd it up though.

Not against big changes, but dropping Southwood is a bizarre one

[Snowflake Royal]

Wasn't Southwood man of the match against QPR?

Yeah, one of the better performers.

'Brave' choice by Paunovic dropping Swift and Southwood. But at least he's binned off Drinkwater. Good luck to Hein, there'll be a feeding frenzy if he makes a mistake.

Will TDB be central and Ince and Hoilett wide, or will TDB be deep, Ince behind the striker and Rino RW?

First season ok, showed potential.
Second season, potential and should start delivering after the experience
Third season, no improvement, delivering less if anything

Paul Ince......

I was hoping that with him being out of contract we might have signed him to add a bit of steel to our midfield.

[andrew1957]

Not surprised Southwood dropped as we clearly promised Arsenal that Hein would be first choice but I think it is a disgraceful decision - especially as Southwood was arguably MOTM against QPR. I can only imagine the howls on here if Hein makes some errors tonight and costs us 3 points. He had better be very good.
