Was pretty easy getting to Bristol, surprisingly.

It's leaving that's the hard part.

I'll worry about that on Sunday.

If you are down all weekend then feel free to pop along to H+V Burnham on Sea tour on Saturday!

Massive game for Bruce this, it's his chance to show the fans that we can play more openly away from home and not be negative. If he reverts to type and we lose then he can have no excuses.

Looks like we've got 3-5-2 for this as Samba is starting alongside Terry and Chester.

Surprise is Hogan isn't upfront, looks like Green will play off Davis. Onomah, Hourihane and Whelan the midfield.

Bench is Steer, Gabby, Hogan, Adomah, Lansbury, Bjarni and Bree.

He's playing three centre backs, Samba, Terry and  Chester. Davis up front

Think he's desperate for that away clean sheet. When did we last keep one, Rotherham?

At least if we do that we won't lose yet another away game and fairly sure with Hourihane in good form we can nick a goal at some stage.

Nope. I am pretty sure that is defensive minded wing backs and Green playing off Davis. The midfield will play deep is my worry.

Staying in Bristol I think but will ax my comrade.

Set us up not to lose by the looks of it. Hope he proves me wrong.
