If the game survives the snow that is meant to be on the way tomorrow night this will be the 43rd meeting hosted by the Horns against Bristol City. Our record at home against them reads won 18, drawn 12, lost 12, scoring 66 and conceding 52.
Last season we went down 4-2 at the Vic in a very depressing Boxing Day encounter that saw us concede in the first minute. Our last meeting was on 28 December 2009 when we drew 2-2 with Cleverley and Eustace getting our goals, the second of which came deep in injury time.
For the second game in a row we are pitied against opponents one place above ourselves in the league table. Bristol City are currently 11th with 37 points from 28 games. Their away record this season is won 2, drawn 6, lost 5.
Since our Christmas meeting they've had almost a more miserable time of it than we have. They've played Cardiff three times, twice in the cup where they lost 1-0 in a replay and a week later in the league when they lost 6-0 to them at home. Their only success in January was a 4-2 win over Preston. On Saturday they drew 1-1 at home to Coventry, the week before they shared a goalless draw with Middlesbrough.
Bristol City's ex-Horns remain solely on the managerial side with Gary Johnson in charge and Keith Millen as his assistant.
