Bridcutt returns, Ulloa on the bench
7:00pm Tuesday 5th March 2013 in Sport By Brian Owen
Liam Bridcutt
Liam Bridcutt is back in the thick of it for Albion tonight – but Leo Ulloa is only on the bench.
Bridcutt comes into the side to face improving Bristol City at Ashton Gate after serving a two-match ban.
The other change to the side which beat Huddersfield on Saturday sees Leo Ulloa, who scored a hat-trick, replaced by Craig Mackail-Smith.
Wayne Bridge and Vicente are again absent from the 18, as is Ashley Barnes.
Bristol City are bottom of the table but are chasing a fifth successive home win and could move out of the drop zone tonight.
They make one change to the side which drew 0-0 at Blackpool on Saturday.
Midfielder Cole Skuse comes in for striker and top scorer Steven Davies as City look to stop Albion from playing.
Jon Stead will be the hosts’ lone striker.
Bristol City: Heaton; Moloney, Nyatanga, Fontaine, Cunningham; Anderson, Kelly, Skuse, Elliott, Pearson; Stead. Subs: Gerken, Bates, Kilkenny, Howard, Adomah, Baldock, Davies.
Albion: Kuszczak; Bruno, El-Abd, Upson, Calderon; Bridcutt, Hammond, David; Buckley, Orlandi, Mackail-Smith. Subs: Ankergren, Greer, Dicker, Forster-Caskey, LuaLua, Barker, Ulloa.

Barker on the bench and no room for Barnes, I wonder why.

Hope this turns out to be a good decision by Gus but up to now I am not convinced. Team rotation is good when other players are performing.

So Bristol - 4 shots, 4 on target already. Ulloa on the bench, Brighton 0 shots - wtf
