Dan, looking at Bristol City's next fixture, Burnley in the Championship at home. Now it's
00:07
obviously coming off the back of a fantastic win away at Norwich, but Burnley are going
00:12
to be a promotion contender. We know this, we know how, you know, despite what the manager
00:17
has managed over the last few seasons at Burnley, they do tend to get up from the Championship
00:23
just because of their quality throughout the ranks there. So, you know, obviously fourth
00:27
in the table, a tough, tough side to host. How do you see Bristol City faring in this
00:33
one? Because it could be, you know, a massive result for their season.
00:36
Well, given how close they are to the playoffs, it is a big, important game. And of course,
00:41
you know, Bristol City win this game, they go on at 25 points. There's only two points
00:44
behind Burnley, which, you know, you wouldn't have thought that perhaps at the start of
00:48
the season, given how strong Burnley's squad is. Under Scott Parker though, Burnley have
00:52
been, I mean, they picked up a lot of points, yes, but their football has been very unattractive.
00:59
It's been, you know, possession, a lot of passing, but not a lot of sort of end product
01:06
and times a lot of like, just football, it's not really easy on the eyes, sort of back
01:10
to front, back to front, side to side, and then nothing really cutting edge at the top
01:15
of the field. Sometimes the long ball comes in as well. So it's certainly an opportunity
01:19
for Bristol City, if you ask me, because as good as Burnley have been in terms of picking
01:23
up points, I think Bristol at home, and given the fact that they are off the back of a good
01:28
win against another promotion contender in Norwich, even though Norwich have sat down
01:31
the table a little bit, they have the ability to really test a side like Burnley, given
01:38
how closely packed they all are in the championship. Of course, we already mentioned in other videos
01:44
this week about the likes of Anis Mometi, Naki Wells, some of the quality Bristol City
01:49
have, and that can be a real threat to Burnley under Scott Parker. Of course, Burnley themselves,
01:55
they definitely need a win because they're challenging the likes of Leeds, Sheffield
01:58
United, Sunderland for those automatic promotion spots. Bristol City probably aren't good enough
02:03
at this moment in time, in terms of their squad, to be looking at the automatic places,
02:07
but certainly the playoffs, that's a possibility for them this season. As we've mentioned in
02:13
previous videos, though, whether they have the consistency throughout the season to remain
02:17
there, that's a different matter. But I think a win against Burnley at Ashton Gate could
02:25
do absolute wonders for their season, because of course, you come off the back of an away
02:28
win and you sort of, you may have had them stalled a little bit at the international
02:31
break and that can be a real frustration for teams. But then you come back and you're playing
02:35
a big game like this at home in front of your own crowd, and with players like Mometi coming
02:40
into form in this league, it could just be the right time for Bristol City to really
02:46
get a galvanising win against a good side. And if they do that, then the sky's really
02:51
the limit because that could then help with their consistency, because they think, well,
02:54
we've won two in the bouts and even though we've had that interruption in the middle,
02:57
the sky's the limit.
