Bristol City v Boro match thread

[erimus74]

Well as we're all happily aware, that's the last of the boring, boring, boring international breaks over for this year, as we welcome back real football

After that fantastic result against Leicester City at the Riverside the mighty Boro, who have just the one defeat in the last 12 games in all competitions, unbeaten in the last 3, travel to Bristol City to face a team, throughout our history, we very rarely do well at

Boro & Bristol City, sit 10 & 11th in the table, with Boro 2 points better off with both teams on a zero GD, fingers crossed, GD apart, its the same come 17:45 on Saturday

Hopefully following the weeks break, apart from Smith & O'Brien & now this week the news that Lenihen is out for the season after undergoing a successful operation, we could see a few of the absentees return to the squad, we've been unlucky on the injured front this season

4 of this seasons recruits are showing why Micheal Carrick persisted with playing them from the off, Sam Greenwood & Morgan Rogers both on 4 goals apiece, with Greenwoods free kick v Leicester one of the best at the Riverside, VDB is showing massive promise & potential, but the star of the summer signings for me is Seny Dieng, IMO, our best keeper since Schwarzer

Theres also talk that Jones could be suspended for this game after picking up a yellow v Leicester City, if so, he'll be a big miss, apart from his forward play, his defensive duties are a big part of our game, as seen last saturday, probably my MOTM

We've had some mixed results at Ashton Gate over the years, thumped by Joe Royle on his City (loan) debut, bagging all of City's 4 goals

December 77 a rare appearance on MOTD, seen the Boro won 2-1 with goals from a David Armstrong penalty & Peter Brine

Jan 2011 Moggas team going there & winning 4-0 with Cameron Parks heavily involved when winning a penalty after he came on as a sub

December 2011 Maulaury Martin smashing in a last minute free kick to win 2-1

Another sell out for the fantastic Boro faithful & such a long haul

The 1st fixture away to Bristol City on the 21st December 1901, Boro losing 1-0

Robins 1 - 3 Boro

[erimus74]

3 of us went to Bristol City back in 1990 in my car, which broke down 6, 7 times finally getting to Bristols ground just before HT, we made our way to the ground in the pouring rain & with all turnstiles closed a steward let us through the gate & into the away end, we caught the last 3 minutes of the 1st half with us losing, we eventually lost the game 3-0

Things didnt improve after the game either, as we needed to have my car towed from county to county & getting home 4 in the morning, absolute nightmare, worst ever away match in my lifetime 😔😢

[erimus74]

Good to look back on & see our excellent signing Barry Robson great footwork when scoring  our 3rd goal

[erimus74]

[erimus74]

Just found out today that George Friend has just signed for Citys rivals Rovers, he could fake an injury & attend the Boro game to see his old team 👍
