Goal should be to win every game, especially home games and especially given that our home form has been atrocious. Sidibe should start. Jojic, Lowe and Junior should get minutes. If there’s 1-2 youngsters that are in the u21s that we believe could make it, they should be introduced to the crowd for a run about in the last 5 mins. Word on the street is that Jojic is fucking shite and has a terrible attitude to boot. So that’s good 🤣 Really? Sounds about right. Another potential waste of money.

Just moved to a different country - probably the first time not living with his parents. Hopefully, one of the senior players are tasked with putting an arm around him and providing some mentorship. Stevens, for all his injuries, seems like someone who could do that (if we extend his contract).

Agree with Bayern. Already had a positive end of the season. Come August, I won’t remember if we beat Bristol City or not. Would rather the kiddies have a good go at it and get beat 5 nowt. Or maybe they could actually get something from it? Wouldn't that be a bit soul destroying for the kids if they lost the game, especially 5-0??? Personally, I'd go with our strongest team, play Burger as we know, he's not lasting the full game, and swap him with Sidibe around the 65th/70th minute mark!!! Wouldn't hurt to give a few of the other kids a run out from the bench either!!!

Well no but this premise that a good end to the season has an impact on next season is just bollocks isn’t it? your probably right, but our fans that go to the games deserve to see a win. 3 wins on the bounce won’t hurt will it, good for season ticket sales, fan experience, confidence, belief and a connection between players/ fans going into next season Don't be so ridiculous. We are fucking wank and the players a disgrace. Let's leave this season behind on a much deserved defeat. That'll show the c***s in charge what we think!

Bristol City are unbeaten in seven games and are 2nd behind Leicester in the Form Table.
After the season we’ve had with ten home defeats already, the last thing we need is yet another home defeat aided and abetted by ‘playing the youngsters’!
We need to end the season with some degree of positivity for the summer so this is absolutely a game where we need to try and win by playing the best available team.

Bollocks to this. I've got a daughter who's been a season ticket holder and supported the club wholeheartedly for six very long and painful years of seeing practically nowt but opposition supporters celebrating the final whistle.
I know I'm the only one who gives a shit about my daughter's feelings, but I reckon she's earned the right to expect that the club, the manager and the players will do their f@ckin' damndest to give her the best chance of experiencing a winning end to yet another pathetically bad season.
She's seeing a chink of light at the moment. Let's try not to snuff it out, at least til we go again in August.

OK we are safe and need to get serious about a top 10 finish next season. Let’s play all our youngsters (and no loanees) against Bristol and give them a virtually full 90 minutes’ experience and see what they’ve got. Let’s get a feel for our actual home grown potential like Lowe and introduce them to a crowd who should be in good spirits. Plus a few regulars who are still under contract and likely starters next season. We can’t keep hoping the loan market will get us promoted. It’s barely got us top half so far. Can always bring on players who are likely leaving for the last 5 minutes to get a thank you. Absolute bollocks post title on both counts. BM

Just because we are safe the team still owe the home fans a good performance. We should play a team to go out and win this match and I'm sure we will.

Why couldn’t we do that with the younger players? It’s very insulting given the current lot have been so woeful. I only want one of them starting but yeah, this is funny. Acting like we’ve not only won 3 at home in 5 months with the current lot 🤣🤣🤣

You’re right. Let’s lose it 5-0. It would probably help more tbh. People seem hideously giddy given we’re on the verge of our worst season in 20 years and only won 3 home games under the new manager. A dose of where we’re really at and the changes that are actually needed is far more needed now we don’t need the points. I can only think of 3 players that should be starting on Saturday that should be regulars next season. Which gives the game even less meaning. Of course I don’t actually want us to lose but the whole thing about winning it having any meaning on next season bar it just meaning we keep some players that have shown they’re not good enough is absolute horseshit. Have you seen any positives at all post Cardiff? Anything at all that gives you any hope that we have a decent chance of turning the tide and being a bit better in future?

I still fundamentally have zero faith in the manager and think he will shit himself at the first bump in the road again. West Brom and Plymouth were good and how we need to go about every home game. I have zero faith he sticks to that though. We need 7/8 new starters and to forget this season ever existed.

There's probably a few fringe players that need to give Schumacher a reason to be here next season so there may be a few changes. I would expect him to start with what he thinks is his strongest team for the first hour and change it up after that and maybe introduce one or two young players then.

Think you are being a bit harsh there Dave , he's made mistakes, for sure, but there was obviously stuff going on behind the scenes, which did not help the situation. The players seem to like him and play for him, he deserved the close season and see where we go with a new set of his players, by & large.

Lowe, Sidibe and whoever else has had a good season for the youngsters should start the game.

I just think we should be playing people who are here next season tbh. And playing Burger and Sidibe together I think will benefit the team in the long run. But he’s the only young player who I think should be starting.

I don’t want to drive for three hours to see us get our tummy tickled by Bristol City. Play our strongest team from the off. We have a squad full of players who don’t get much of a look in but do I want Lowe leading the line on Saturday? No thanks, he’s really not very good. I want us to win and end the season on a positive note and yes, it will make a difference to how we all feel as we contemplate the summer.

It would. We need massive changes. Even by your standards that’s bollocks. How does losing 5-0 change anything? You either trust the manager and the recruitment team or you don’t. He can see the changes needed and obviously has his plans in place. A 5-0 defeat in a dead rubber end of season home match would have nothing but negative impacts.

I know exactly why you bother mate but you shouldn't. He is one of several on here who I rarely interact with anymore. I haven't blocked them because having the will power not to respond to their utter horseshite gives me a warm and superior feeling inside.

No point in starting Lowe. He’s not good enough. I’d start Junior and Sidibe in place of Laurent and Hoever though. We may be safe but we should be playing for a big win. We need to build momentum for next season. So you want us to go for a big win to build momentum but want two players who’ve been a pivotal part of the last two games and been outstanding and built some momentum to be dropped? Perhaps it’s just me I think that there’s a good balance to be had. Laurent has been excellent but if we don’t bring in Sidibe soon, what is the point of an academy?

On the one hand he vehemently supports the idea of playing all the ‘youngster’ because the senior players haven’t performed, next breathe he advocates starting only Sidibe from the young brigade. The bloke’s just unstable in my view.

He won't change much. Sidibe may make an appearance from the bench, but Schumacher is not about to go mental and start playing the Under-14's girls side because Bayern thinks he should, thankfully.
Iversen
Hoever Wilmot McNally Stevens
Laurent Burger (Thompson has done well but think Burger needs a full game back in there)
Manhoef Cundle Haks (think he'll rest Junho but not sure where Haks was last week so maybe Vidigal?)
Campbell
