Head2Head & Early Team News - Bristol City

Last updated : 07 December 2006 By Deano
City arrive in third position with three wins and a draw in their last four. As we all know the Millers are capable of turning over anyone on their day but will have to be on the top of their form once again.

Our opponents are anticipated to keep a similar line up to the one which nicked a late 1-0 win at home to Carlisle on Tuesday night, with Enoch Showumni continuing to partner the in-form phil Jevons in attack. Marcus Stewart has had his contract terminated by the club today leaving him free to rejoin Yeovil or speak to other clubs in the January transfer window.

Last time out - City v Carlisle:

Bristol City: Basso, Keogh (Orr 84), Carey, McCombe, Fontaine, Skuse, Russell, Johnson (Murray 75), Myrie-Williams (Brooker 63), Jevons, Showunmi.
Subs Not Used: Weale, Brown.

Goals: Showunmi 85.

Carlisle: Westwood, Livesey, Gray (Grand 88), Murphy, Aranalde, Lumsdon (Holmes 86), Thirlwell, Billy, Harper (Hackney 73), Hawley, Gall.
Subs Not Used: Williams, McDermott.

Booked: Lumsdon, Murphy, Gall.

Att: 10,792

Centre half Jamie McCombe predicted the Millers to be strugglers this term and will be out to avoid some stick this weekend, as he explains to bcfc.co.uk: "My next door but one neighbour is a Rotherham fan - I told him they'd be down by Christmas! Fair play to them for overcoming that (the minus 10 points) and clearly they have been playing well but we fear nobody and will go there full of confidence", he said.

The Millers will also see few if any changes to their line up, as Michael Keane is again absent through injury. Colin Murdock is available again but Lee Williamson is still a few weeks away, it's hoped he can start some sprinting in training next week. As reported earlier, Paul Hurst is set to be sidelined for a few weeks at least as he needs a knee operation.
