I reckon he'll want to show us who's boss; so same line up but with Martina back in for Edwards.

60% possession. 450 sideways passes. 4 shots at goal, 2 on target. 1-1 draw.
Post match interview: “We need to create more” (after fielding an uncreative team).

I think k the atmosphere will he as flat as a fart until we all start to boo rowett and sing that our boos are for you, Gary rowett our boos are for you.
Several renditions of bojan sing and then ultimately a toxic atmosphere that Bristol city will take full advantage of.0-2

There is a bit of that in his character I don’t think for one minute that Bojan or Bauer will feature, more likely Campbell He might shake it up a bit like he threatened against Bolton,so three forwards/wingers on the bench again, three similar players in midfield again,the slowest defence in the division again,next to no chances created again and a 1-1 draw. Bar for that,everythings rosy.

The team I'd play and what I think he will play are pretty far apart, can't see a recall for Bojan or Bauer as that would be a huge climbdown. I'd go with a 4-2-3-1 Butland Edwards Pieter's Shawcross BMI
Woods Allen
Ince Bojan Clucas
Berahino
But I think more of a 433 with Clucas playing wide left in place of McClean, Berahino recalled or maybe even Campbell with Etebo playing in midfiekd

I have taken a look at B City's recent form, it isn't half bad. This game is no pushover. They will now a quick start will get our fans very edgy & could transmit to the players.

Without a doubt this game will be a cauldron. I fear an ugly game because the crowd will be like a dog with a bone now in trying to wind rowett up and push him over the edge. Unfortunately in a game of fans vs manager the players will be the collateral damage.

Come on then folks, time to move onto to the next must win game. I’m going left field, he’s a man under pressure: Butland Edwards Shawcross Williams Pieters Allen Woods Etebo Ince Campbell Berahino Subs Federici Martins Indi Fletcher Afobe Crouch Clucas McClean Almost a best team that.

I think we should have been trying a system long before now that at least gives Afobe and Berahino a chance to play up top as a pair, closer together.
I'd try a diamond, the width comes from the full backs but sadly we don't have a fit left back and Edwards and Martina have both been struggling.
I'd still try it though Butland Bauer. Williams Bruno Pieters
Clucas
Allen. Etebo
Ince
Berahino. Afobe
Subs Shawcross Diouf Bojan Edwards Federici Mcclean Woods

Seems two even sides from the table , just hope we are more positive , need Etebos energy and a front two , possibly Saido and Campbell . Another dull fest is going to make for a bad start to the year .

I’ve seen some dire fixtures between these pair over the decades, some of which were also on NewYearsDay(what’s that all about)& for this reason I’m going down Twerton Park

Bristol City bringing 920 fans it seems, pretty poor that to be honest. Away SalesAnother official 24,000 (ish) crowd with only 18,000 in attendance then.....

Reading a few comments from their fans on Twitter, it seems they are in a similar position to ourselves. Drawing too many games and fans getting frustrated due to slow, ponderous build up play. We could be in for a cracker tomorrow.

Rowett’s system? He works on a sound ande often trusted foundation - something akin to: Search out the John Wayne speech, with all the macho words and include a polished CV of nearly achievements. Collect a bunch of players - doesn’t matter if he’s got enough in certain positions, or too few in others - just collect them. Sign up a team coaches and assistant coaches to add to the sense of “organisation, control and capability” of his operation. The more the merrier. Tell the world every squad member has an equal chance then Diss/ignore certain players that have been at the club before him and lust on about his new boys. Collect all the “feathers” together, throw them up in the air and pray that they come down as a chicken! When the “master plan” falls apart, move on from plan A and try a new plan A. If that fails, or the peasants are moaning from the terraces, hold up hands and confidently extoll the changes that will be made, then slide in plan A again. If that fails, get the manual out about how to play players that complement each other, get a glass of wine, and revise plan A. Play plan A. I guess, the last 2 games have pretty much reflected the GR system above. However, I think that GR has probably learned something from those games. This time he will take account of all the flak he has deservedly inherited regarding Bojan - by replacing Joe Allen with Delap and spend the game rubbing his hands! PC will then pocket the money for a sale of Allen to Big fish Bournemouth and our window will be closed.
