I'm no fan of David Moyes . But I cannot see why people are criticising him for that line up . Not one Bristol city player gets in our side . They either fancy it our they don't. This is benrhamas chance on his favoured side . And cornets got his chance .

"Jesus Christ we are absolute bare bones, looking at the starters and bench. Half a team missing. I'd like to think we can do this still without too much bother but the above added to live on BBC away to a bunch of cloggers just has me thinking ignominious exit. Hopefully I'm very wrong."

Moyes… Utter fucking knob on BBC.. Every other teams 12th fucking man..

"FMOB! 10 mins before kick off and some of the comments suggest we have lost already! fucking hell Lads, hope the nappy's are on stand by?"

"Bloody hell, BBC and three blokes in the studio, I was expecting the Nolan's as pundits!"

Let’s see what Cornet can do…

Let’s see what Cornet can do…

FUCK OFF KEEP DREAMING YOU MISERABLE cսnt

"Typical COWARD approach. I'm not going to watch the BBC big up the likes of Cresswell and Ings saying some crap like the are expierenced players etc. What a cսnt He'll say the u21's played yesterday so couldn't add to the squad,of course he fucking could. He and Nolan will be looking at that fucking Ipad a ticking the excuses as they happen. A truly cowards approach. quite appalling . Bristol will look at that line up and go for it.Kick us about a bit and why not. Anyone saying Bristol are a good level championship are deluded. i did say 2 keepers. theu21's won at a canter could have won yesteday with Orford and Earthy coming off early."

COYI

My missus says she is getting a swear box out after the last game. I’ll be skint within ten minutes with Cresswell playing against that young kid.

goose 9:19 Tue Jan 16 you said it ... Still think he could start some of the youth here. Bet none of them even get on the pitch.

Hammer and Pickle 9:07 Tue Jan 16 agreed

Have to admit that this has all the makings for a Hammer Horror live on bbc1 ffs

"""he can’t be resting them…can he?"" yes, exactly what hes done. sheff utd""s the oriority, he doesn't give a shi t about the domestic cups"

"Ings, FFS!"

"It’s either 3 centre half’s or benrahma is playing at a 10 and Emerson is playing wide left. Fuck knows. I’d like to say go for it and kill the game early but who am I kidding? Low block, Ings isolated and unable to hold it up. Play for corners."

"Got a bad feeling about this. With Alvarez out that's our 4 best players missing. When has Cresswell as a CB ever worked well? Unless he has license to get forward a bit, but the lack of pace at the back on the left with Cresswell and Zouma is frightening. Just hope Cornet can surprise us all (especially Moyes!) and pull something out of the bag."

What is it with this two keepers on bench bollocks? surely a half decent youth player even just in first team squad for experience is more sensible?

"Obviously we could, should and probably will win but I reckon this is going to be a very uncomfortable watch. Apparently Bristol aren’t particularly good at home so that’s the only glimmer of hope I see. Hope Ings gets a hat trick which secures him a move away tomorrow morning but I’m not holding my breath! I predict we will come from behind with goals from Marshall / Mubama from the bench."

"I haven’t been on here for , seems like ages. But fook me, Sir Alf needs to change the record."

"Alvarez and Fornals must be injured or ill, he can’t be resting them…can he?"

"3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders (NINE if you include scarles), zero creativity in midfield.an absolute cock"

"One big surprise is Cornet. He needs to score a goal to have a chance of ever being seen again. Cresswell a slight surprise and Bristol will target him. No Alvarez against a team that overload midfield is risky to say the least. Moyesball / Alamo tactics, low block and stay in shape, hope a counter can release Cornet the only bloke that can run faster than a Carthorse. Otherwise JWP needs to have a game where his set pieces live up to his reputation. We haven’t seen it much as the season has worn on? It’s like everyone knows what we do? He scored loads of free kicks with Southampton didn’t he? For us? None"

2 keepers on a bench of 8 ?
