Hasn't got a squad number on the official announcement Nor has Ziyech, or Lukaku. 4,9 and 12 left open. Caicedo, Vlahovic and Adams?

And at that time we had players like Beasant, Clarke, Erland Johnsen, Le Saux, Dorigo, Bumstead, Dixon, McAllister. That was the match never forget Graham Roberts face as the third went in. Thought then he would not be around too much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Angelo Gabriel and Richards. But surprised that Ugochukwu, Broja and Burstow being given numbers. I'd also expect Hall, Bergström and Beach to leave on loan.

This is pretty much what I am expecting, other than Maatsen starting somewhere in here. I just have this impression that Poch has been really impressed by him and the Nkunku injury opens up an opportunity for him. I think it maybe ahead of Mudryk or Chukwuemeka for this game. Maatsen and Jackson have probably taken their chance more than anyone during pre-season. If i could get odds of 2/1 or better on Maatsen starting, I would have a nice little bet on that.

What impresses me about Maatsen is that he played 3 different positions in pre-season and excelled in each. Can finish and assist too. I'd say he'll get plenty of game time but not necessarily in his favourite position. Handy for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holymoly Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 7 hours ago, Mark Kelly said: As a club we need to start questioning these appointments , the man has repeatedly done us wrong and to let him ruin another high profile game is tantamount to a conspiracy against us . Personally I'm not a conspiracy theorist, although I grant you has been shown to be statistically more harsh on us than other teams, however, it's the fact that it's against the Scum who will need all the help they can get to improve on last season.

I'd prefer to see Maatsen play somewhere in the three as he too seemed to have a degree of empathy with Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so crap it was untrue, Roberts was just an outfield version of Peter Schemeicel, screaming at his team mates to hide his own deficiencies and protect his selfish hide. We might have even challenged peoperly for the league that season if it wasn't for his **** ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandproud Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Another dour 0-0 draw perhaps? Recent meetings have been murder to watch. However, I might just settle for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarefreeMuratcan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 First game of the season is going to make this a weird game. Almost pre-season like. I think we'll edge it due to being at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boratsbrother Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Horrible game to start the season with. We've got a poor record against the top sides in recent years and If we're a bit off the pace they have the forwards to take advantage and win this quite comfortably. I'll be happy enough with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Garland, one of my childhood Chelsea heroes can be forgiven for that 😄. Bristol born and bred and Bristol City hero, one of the City 5 who agreed to a 50% pay cut to keep the club afloat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Same for both Bristols. Neither the Robins nor the Black Arabs have ever really excelled. Small Bristol’s for a big city.
