Saints v Bristol City - Saturday 3pm

[Pilchards]

Going to be a tough one for us as they are a boogie team.

They will also be fresh from a week off.

We need to stick to the same team and tweak it on how Bristol City play. (Fellows/Matsuki & Bree/Abbott)

 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Need the same attitude and mindset of the previous home games. 

Will be a test. Do Tolaj and Ballard play together? If so, defence will need to be alert.

Well then hopefully they will be too busy shaking their hips and doing the funky chicken, and will leave plenty of room on the dancefloor for Leo to waltz through their defence.

Then we just need to get the Northam faithful to resurrect a classic old chant from the 80s...

"Let's all have a disco, let's all have a disco, la laaaa la la, la laaaa la la" 🕺

Stick with the same starting 11. Make sure transition is as fast as the 1st half against Swansea and all will be well.

Bring in shoehorn, mess about with the attacking line up and all will be broken.

Tonda over to you.

Same starting 11...maybe Fellows for Matsuki

Would be amazed if they are so open to the counter like Swansea.

Heard that quite a bit 2010-16 when home victories became very frequent occurrences from the Northam. 

Bristol City is a bogey that we need to pick. Visually, as a bogey, it would have a hard yellow crust and be really thick, long and stringy when picked.

But let’s pick it anyway at last and wipe it on the wall.

I'd probably start Matsuki but otherwise no changes.

We need to get Abbott in at right centre back at some point but that can wait until after the break.

[Football Special]

Bristol City seem to love playing us, especially when they get to end a notable run of results for us (no home league defeats in 8 months) 

They have played two games this month, winning both away to Burnley and Preston, if they hadnt had their game at home to Lincoln postponed last night I think they'd be top of the league now. 

Dom Ballard will score. 

3000 away fans should make it a good atmosphere, now Yates has closed official away pub is the Church across the road from Mayflower theatre 

Hopefully limited changes for Saints , try to keep a settled side and build up some momentum

Start Matsuki for Fellows. No other changes are needed.

Don’t know if actually true but feels like Matsuki does better when coming on rather than starting.

I can't make it to this game sadly.  If anyone wants my ticket in block 44- Northam send me a message.  £25.
