Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins return to winning ways?
Bristol City made a superb start to their season under new boss Dean Holden, winning each of their opening four. However, they have gone on to win just five of their following 16. The Robins have slipped down to ninth after recent results, three points adrift of the top six.
Bristol City have been in poor form lately, losing three in a row. After back-to-back 2-0 losses to Rotherham United and Millwall, City were beaten by Preston North End at Deepdale last Friday night, with a Daniel Johnson penalty giving the home team a 1-0 win. That was their fifth reverse in seven games.
Bristol City will be desperate for a home win having taken a mere three points from the last 15 on offer. A home game against the league’s bottom team could be just what the doctor ordered. Can they take all three points from this one?
Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Another defeat for the bottom club?
Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers have found Championship life tough going so far. They were beginning to find their feet after back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City in late October and early November, but they have failed to win since.
Wycombe slipped to the foot of the table last weekend for the first time since winning promotion. Despite Ainsworth’s men drawing 1-1 at home with Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday leapfrogged the Chairboys with a 1-0 win over Coventry City.
