  • 58' A tactical swap from Bristol City FC — Sinclair Armstrong on, Nahki Wells off on 58 minutes.
  • 63' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jason Knight, as he is very good at scoring at Ashton Gate with 3 goals in the last 3 games.

  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Scott Twine. He replaces Anis Mehmeti on 69 minute.
