... it was along the lines of, their poor start to the season, was due to over training during pre season. Here is a link to that post ........

Since then City have won 5 from 6 and gone charging up the table, infact victory tonight could even take them top of the table. Considering the problems they have faced, this says a lot about the club and their astute coach Gary Johnson.
City are the biggest west country club in England and a real sleeping giant, this may finally be the year they wake from their slumber. They are one of the divisions top scorers, averaging 1.6 per game and have only drawn blank on one occasion. These stats could be much better as they have hit the woodwork 9 times, a football league high figure, someone is in for a hiding soon.
The Robins put in a very good display at the weekend, winning 2-0 at Port Vale, in front of 1,000 travelling supporters. They restricted the home side to just 4 attempts at goal, the home coach Martin Foyle, observed that City were "quicker to the second ball and dictated much of the play".
Striker Phil Jevons, who has been prolific in the lower divisions, has finally found his touch and the goals can be expected to flow, he really has an eye for goal and 70% of his attempts have been on target.
Tonight they travel to Bournemouth, who are on a 7 match unbeaten run, but most of those are draws, that is hardly surprising as the Cherries create very few chances. In their last two starts,at home to Scunthorpe and against an injury ravaged Brentford, they only mustered 6 attempts on target. Their total of 45 for the season, is one of the lowest in the division.
City will be without captain, Steve Brooker who is injured, but have a natural replacement in Scott Murray. The home side are without the suspended Marcus Browning, who is set to become a referee after retirement and hopes to be the first former pro to take charge of a Premiership match.
I think there is half a division between these two and really like the visitors on the level ball handicap, especially given Bournemouth's inability to win games. H2h stats are in favour of the away side, who have lost just once in 5 trips to the south coast.
4 points Bristol City level ball asian line 2.175.
Good Luck.
