8:09pm
Still, it was a rather disjointed home performance and the dangerous Adomah strode forward before seeing his 25-yard blast blocked almost at source by Painter.
8:08pm
Bryan got forward down the left and his dangerous cross deflected for a corner - but City made a real mess of their dellivery to the delight of the home crowd.
8:06pm
Hammond's goal had not turned out to be the spark for a period of Albion domination. Instead City were having most of the ball.
8:03pm
City responded with a spell of possession and Adomah had a long-range effort blocked before Bruno completed the clearance.
7:59pm
Orlandi took charge of the free-kick wide on the right and slipped a simple pass back to Bridcutt, whose cross was headed home by HAMMOND at the far post.
7:58pm
Buckley was bundled over by Bryan next time he got the ball - and it led to the opening goal on six minutes.
7:55pm
Albion attacked the South Stand in the first half and Bruno's clever chipped pass got Buckley racing away down the right - but his cross drifted harmlessly behind.
7:49pm
Albion go the usual North to South in the first half.
7:48pm
That appreciation took the form*of applause, rather than silence.
7:46pm
Teams are out. There will be now be an appreciation of Dave Sexton.
7:41pm
Lots of spaces around the stands as we approach kick-off.*I understand travel has been an issue this evening.
7:30pm
Bristol City are the only side in the Football League*yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Albion have scored in their last six matches, which is their best such run of the season. Having said that, they have still drawn six blanks this term. Only Sheffield Wednesday (seven) have failed to net more often.
7:28pm
This is Will Hoskins' first start at The Amex.
7:25pm
The game will, it appears, be played under a clear sky but in conditions rendered bitterly cold by a biting wind whistling around the stadium.
7:24pm
Key team news here involves the strikers. Dobbie and Hoskins, the men who were in the thick of it for the winning goal in the Seagulls' last midweek game against Peterborough, start in place of Barnes and Mackail-Smith, both of whom are on the bench. City top scorer Steven Davies was only among the subs at Boro on Saturday but came on to hit the final goal in that impressive 3-1 success. He is recalled to the XI this evening.
7:20pm
Three – that’s the not so magic number for Albion at the moment. That meagre tally of home wins from nine outings is holding the Seagulls back at the moment. No other side in the top 13 of the Championship have been denied home points as often as the Seagulls. Cardiff, of course, lead the way with a maximum 27 points at home while Leicester have 22. Five or six home wins seems to be par for the leading sides so Albion could really do with maximum reward tonight against a Bristol City side who won 3-1 in the fog at Middlesbrough on Saturday.
