Re: CC League 1 - Sat 6th August '05
As a Bristol City fan Doncaster IMO are one of the value bets in this division on opening day.
I'll play Devil's advocate and say that the tried and trusted partnership of Lita / Brooker has been broken up and we'll probably start with Bridges / Stewart. This could be potentionally (oh please god let it be so!) lethal in Division 1 but it is an untested partnership devoid of a target-man and pace. Also, City have made 7 new signings through the summer as boss man Tinnion looks to model his squad and fcuk off the non-triers. The defence is completely overhauled now and I hope they'll be more organised this season.
At the end of last season we were luckly to scrape a draw with Doncaster and only managed it due to a last minute equaliser.
Doncaster have made some shrewd signings in the close season - including ex-City and Notts County striker Heffernan - who will be coming back with a point to prove. They are being well fancied as the "dark horses" of the divison.
13,500 are expected at Ashton gate and for City at least they have no injury worries
Have I done a good enough job of putting you off Komp?
Oh, and apart from a few seasons back when we tonked a very poor Notts County side 5-0 at home City are perennial bad starters to the season. The home vodoo of last season needs to be lifted as too many teams came to Ashton Gate and left with the points...
