Bristol unlikely to include any former Bulls tonight

Bristol City are the visitors to Edgar Street this evening for the Bulls' third home friendly of this pre-season.

Last night City played Yeovil and defeated them 3-0. In their team were two players who have played for Hereford United, Chris Weale and Michael McIndoe but there was no sign of a third, Gavin Williams, who recently joined City from Ipswich.

Dele Adebola scored twice and a McIndoe penalty completed the scoring.

Williams may not play this evening. He is understood to be struggling to be match fit. Also missing will be Liam Fontaine.

"The lads who weren't here tonight will be the ones in Hereford. They will have seen that these lads have earned a decent result. They'll have to do the same at Hereford," said City manager Gary Johnson after last night's friendly.

As regards Hereford United, captain Karl Broadhurst misses out with his shoulder injury and Sam Gywnne is also a doubt after his injury sustained at Ledbury.

It seems likely that Graham Turner will have another couple of trialists in the squad. Hopefully one of them will be a striker.

"It is a challenge that the players should respond to," said Turner as reported by the WDP.

"The higher up the football ladder, the more a team is likely to get punished for mistakes.

"The most important thing is to see steady improvement through the coming weeks."

The game commences at 7.45pm and admission is £8 for adults and £4 for concessions.

Meanwhile Junior Bulls are reminded that they are invited into the sponsors lounge to collect their goody bags and have some refreshments before this evening's game.
