My first game of the season, Ashton Gate is walking distance from my house.
A week ago I wasn't relishing this too much (the same fixture last season being a little sobering) - but now I'm properly excited! Not expecting another four goals, but a positive, confident performance would be most enjoyable.
UTV.

Welcome to the forum old boy, enjoy the game.
Bristol City 1 - Aston Villa 3

I'll be optimistic for once and go for a 2-1 win for the Villa - Hourihane and Hogan to get the weekend off to a cracking start!

Jedinak out, Hutton out and Davis a doubt for tomorrow night, according to Gregg Evans. Our forwards are cursed!

He says Davis and Onomah should both be fine.

I think he might go with the team started save for Lansbury who played well. Hopefully Bree gets the nod.

Even though he is quoted as saying he wants to play him?

Yeah, ok.

Same team that started against Norwich for me, except for De Laet or Bree coming in for Hutton.

Aren't these a bit shit?

Stat fans, prepare to start tracking down our last four-for-four.

Them, 1 or 2. Us, =>4. Hogan 2, Terry, Davis.
