By: Richard Hubbert

The Robins had a dream start to the new season when they thrashed Notts County 5-0 at Ashton Gate. However, since then, they have found league victories hard to come by and two 1-1 draws with Hartlepool and Chesterfield were followed by a loss on Tuesday night to Colchester United, who recorded their first victory of the season. Therefore, Bristol City will be keen to get back on track with a home victory against the Mariners.

Bristol City Facts | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Lee Peacock (left). Former Mansfield Town and Manchester City forward who was bought by Bristol City for a record £600,000. Has endured some niggling back problems over the past few seasons that have prevented him playing a full season. However, Peacock has shown that he is a dangerous forward he does not find it hard to hit the net. He has 6 goals already this season.
Luke Wilkshire (left). The Robins' new No. 7 after the departure of last years top scorer, Scott Murray, to Reading. Wilkshire is an Australian youth interantional who cost the club £250,000 from Middlesbrough in the summer. Equally at home on the right wing or in the centre of midfield. Brian Tinnion. Left-footed midfielder who is now in his 10th season with the club. He joined the Robins in 1993 when they paid Bradford £180,000 for his services. A Bristol City legend, Tinnion has been inspirational in Danny Wilson’s reign where he has occupied a berth in the centre of midfield.

Town will want to avoid a repeat of the last time they visited Ashton Gate. It was the 1998/99 season when Town finished 11th, and they got thrashed 4-1 by City, who ended up being relegated. Similarly, the season before that when Town gained promotion, they also got a whipping – loosing 4-1 yet again! The scorer for Town on that day in the April 1999 was Lee Ashcroft, while it was a brace from Adi Akinbiyi and one from both Brian Tinnion and now Scunny forward Steve Torpey that gave City the points.
Town Team: Love, McDermott, Gallimore, Livingstone, Lever, Burnett, Coldicott, Black, Ashcroft, Lester, Groves.
Bristol City Team: Andersen, Brennan, Sebok, Locke, Taylor, Carey, Howells, Brown, Akinbiyi, Torpey, Tinnion. Attendance: 11,116 Bristol City Head-to-Head (59th on The Opposition Ladder).
