Look at that bench again.

There's really only one player in the team whom I'm not convinced by, otherwise I read the names and feel pretty good about it.

Nothing against Bristol City but I'd love to see us really, really stuff them - four to the good. That's probably asking a bit much and perhaps the post game write up having the words 'commanding win' also, so I'll just happily settle for a slice of good luck and three valuable away points.

Bunn Baker? Hungry?

Also, no Richards, Lescott, Gabby. The purge is almost complete.

I'm more concerned with TV starting this thread.

We're doomed.

[Matt Collins]

Any sort of win will do for me please

Agree the bench looks very weak attacking wise. Two new signings plus gestede changes that of course, alongside Tshibola

[CJ]

Not many options from the bench other than shore up midfield if it's tight late on. Get Tshibola and Gestede fit, and add a couple more new faces before the transfer window #"slams shut" and we'll look OK.

There has to be doubts over any team that has both Westwood and Bacuna in midfield

[Duncan Shaw]

Westwood keeps making the cut.....

Add to that our youngsters are involved in a tournament so they're not available either.

And you'd play Gardner ahead of him?

So am I. I was on here thinking Tuscans or someone other than me or Mr Sox would kick it off. Fuck it, surely our luck is going to change and with it mine on the match thread.

[Ger Regan]

I'm guessing this is also going to be a stream-free zone?

[Monty]

Not the worst team I've ever seen. Shame there's no Tish, and there is an excessive amount of Westwood and Bacuna, but still nice to see de Latte and the Jedi.

[nodge]

That looks quite solid (hopes he hasn't put the mockers on it)
