Vital Football Legend
Just three days on from that resounding Stoke home defeat we are in action again tonight, this time at Bristol City.
With the new head-coach stating after the match that the players were not fit enough to play his system, we look to tonight’s match with trepidation instead of expectation.
He has said that he wants more suitable players in to play his high tempo possession football which will mean players moving out, the first of those being Jordon Garrick, who signed for Plymouth Argyle yesterday on a season long loan.
Jack Army fans confidence was shattered after watching on in stunned silence as a dominant Stoke team completely outplayed us on our own patch on Tuesday night. We only hope RM and the players can regroup and go again for this one, otherwise there will be only one outcome.

Well they regrouped and confidence is restored after last night’s tense win.
Matt Grimes Sky Sports man of the match, and plenty of other players excelled. The unrecognisable defence, a back three of Latibeaudiere, Cooper, and Manning kept a blank sheet plus goalkeeper Benda making some fine saves. In particular with Cabango, Bennett, Naughton, and Roberts all missing, we did well not to concede.
