DID YOU
KNOW?
Andreas Weimann has scored 39
goals with 19 assists in 204 Premier
League appearances, all for Aston Villa
between 2010/11 and 2014/15. His
appearances equate to 7,226 minutes
in the Premier League!
He has only scored one hat-trick in his
career and that came in the 2018/19
campaign as he fired City to a 3-2 away
win at Sheffield United. His first was a
looping header, before a karate-style
finish and a superb near-post strike
following a strong drive forward and
one-two with Famara Diédhiou.
He has scored two braces in the
current campaign (v Reading and
Cardiff City) but he is still seeking his
second City hat-trick.

I
t’s great to return to Ashton Gate after
the international break. Our last game
against Cardiff City was one in which
our performance was rewarded with the
right result and this was a very important
statement of intent that we must
replicate again against Preston North End.
also prudent to look for players for the future from
elsewhere too.
Now the transfer window has closed, I am pleased
with where the squad is at; we have a couple of
players returning from injuries, so the competition is
rife and that is exactly what you want.
We come up against a
very tough opponent
in Preston but in turn
they know we will be
no pushovers either,
so please play your
part in creating a
difficult environment
for away teams when
visiting Ashton Gate.
Yes, we are a club
with strong values
and we extend a
warm welcome to
our visitors, but when
we cross the line the
time to compete and
give your all begins,
so your support is
paramount to us being
successful.
We will always strive to give you all the commitment
and drive needed in games, and be good to watch
whenever possible, and in turn we hope you can lift
us when we need it.
Please extend a warm welcome to George Tanner
who we have signed from Carlisle United. He is a
player for our future but one I know will also push
for a starting position this season too. Our Academy
are brilliant at producing homegrown talent, but it is
WE WILL
ALWAYS STRIVE
TO GIVE YOU
ALL THE
COMMITMENT
AND DRIVE
NEEDED IN
GAMES, AND
BE GOOD TO
WATCH
Finally, a very special
mention must go to
our Head of Player
Logistics, Matt
Parsons. He has,
along with other staff
on away trips, been
taking food after the
players’ evening meals
to homeless shelters
and other refuges.
His vision is for other
clubs to do similar
and it’s a brilliant
initiative from a very
humble man.
To put things into
perspective, we
donate around 50
food boxes every
away game which equates to 1,150 meals across
the season for those who are less fortunate. If every
EFL club did this, collectively we would be handing
out a staggering 82,800 meals across the season.
Now our full focus is on the next batch of games
this September and it all starts against Preston
today.
I hope you enjoy the game!

EMIL RIIS
JAKOBSEN
The former Denmark Under-21
international has certainly come into
his own this season. The 23-year-old
has scored five goals split between
two in the Championship and three
in the Carabao Cup, with his side set
to face Cheltenham Town in Round
Three later this month.
His first league goal of the season
came on the opening day as Preston
suffered a 4-1 home defeat to
Hull City but he was back on the
scoresheet in a 3-1 win over Swansea
City last time out.
Jakobsen’s youth career started
at Danish outfit Randers before a
move to Derby County’s Academy
setup in 2015 where he helped the
Under-23s win the Premier League 2
Division One title. Following a brief
loan spell at VVV-Venlo, he went back
to Randers in June 2018 where he
became a first team regular.
He signed for Preston in October
2020, scoring three goals in 39
games by the end of the campaign.

DID YOU
KNOW?
Preston North End were the first team to win the domestic
‘double’ in England winning both the inaugural First Division
and FA Cup in 1888/89. They became the original ‘Invincibles’
having gone that league campaign unbeaten (27 games).
PRESTON ENDED THE 2020/21
CAMPAIGN WITH THE JOINT-BEST
FORM IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, WITH
ONE DRAW AND FOUR WINS FROM
THE FINAL FIVE GAMES – A STREAK
ONLY MATCHED BY PROMOTION-WINNERS
BRENTFORD.
It was a run which helped lift
the Lilywhites to 13th place
come the final league standings
and led to the permanent
appointment of former first
team coach Frankie McAvoy as
Head Coach.
However, a crushing 4-1 defeat
by newly-promoted Hull City
on the opening day of the new
campaign was hardly the start
the club would have hoped
for, especially in front of their
returning fanbase.
In fact, the Lilywhites lost their
first three league games with
narrow defeats to Reading
(2-1) and Middlesbrough
(1-0) – although both of those
came on the road as they seek
a first away league win of the
campaign.
There has been improved form
in the Carabao Cup, with wins
over Mansfield Town (3-0) and
Morecambe (4-2) helping Preston
advance into Round Three
where they face League One
newcomers Cheltenham Town.
German defender Patrick Bauer (far right) scores the winner for the
Lilywhites during their 1-0 home win over Peterborough United last month.
And confidence will have now
begun to flow through Preston’s
veins as they now head to BS3
having won their last three
games in all competitions.
They beat Peterborough United
1-0 and Swansea City 3-1 either
side of that cup victory over
Morecambe and it remains
to be seen if the international
break has been a potential
hindrance rather than an
opportunity to recharge.
The Lancashire club – who
will finally renew their rivalry
with neighbours Blackpool this
season after a gap of eight
years – released eight players
over the summer, which also
saw the retirement of veteran
midfielder Paul Gallagher.
Arrivals included the loan
signing of Liverpool defender
Sepp van den Berg and former
England youth midfielder Izzy
Brown from Chelsea.

A crowd of 18,739
witnessed City’s return
to competitive action at
Ashton Gate, though our
long-awaited first day
back celebrations with
fans were tainted just
a little when Blackpool
secured a last-gasp
equaliser.
We exited the Carabao
Cup on penalties despite
Saikou Janneh scoring
his first goals for the club,
while performances in the
league didn’t always justify
our results.
We suffered defeats
to Middlesbrough and
Swansea City but the
players dug deep to record
satisfying wins against
Reading and Cardiff City.
We now go in search of
picking up where we left
off in South Wales, finding
consistency and putting
an unwanted home record
to bed...

OUR SEVERNSIDE DERBY HERO LOOKS TO BETTER
TIMES AHEAD, AFTER A STRONG START TO HIS
2021/22 SEASON AND LAST YEAR’S LONG-TERM
INJURY NOW BEHIND HIM…
WALKING IN A
WEIMAN
WONDE
Putting pen
to paper
on a new
three-year
contract
marked the beginning of a fresh
start for Andi Weimann.
The forward completed
formalities of his deal in June
before focusing himself on the
2021/22 campaign.
The season opener against
Blackpool was his first
competitive game since October,
as he missed the majority of the
2020/21 campaign due to an
anterior cruciate ligament injury
in his knee.
It was a painstaking road to
recovery but the Austrian kept
a positive attitude as he looked
to come back stronger, and he’s
certainly done just that.
“I am pleased with my start to
the season,” Weimann told THE
ROB NS. “It was nice to play that
first competitive game against
Blackpool and be back involved.
I’ve started all the games so far,
I’ve scored four goals and I’m
feeling really good. I put in a lot
of hard work in the gym to come
back fit and I think that has paid
off.”
Discussing his injury last
season, Weimann continued:
“It was completely new to me
because I hadn’t been through
something like that in my career.
I obviously wasn’t looking 4

IN THE DERBY WAS
VERY SPECIAL
4 forward to the recovery
but I was trying to embrace
it as much as I could. I
worked with Gill Holt every
day in the physio room and
in the gym with Dell (Derrick
Bonsu). I enjoyed it as much
as I could and I made sure
I came in every day and did
everything I could.
“I did a selfie video showing
people what it was like at
the time of my operation
and the days after it, how
I felt and the progress I
made when I got home:
everything from my first
steps walking, being back
at the training ground, in
the gym and lifting weights
for the first time. It’s
something for me to look
back on, to see how I got
through it and to be where
I am now.
“I was lucky in the sense
that I didn’t have a setback.
I’ve heard stories of
people’s knees remaining
swollen or sore, or
hamstrings being sore after
skin graft surgery. Mine
went as perfect as it could
have and that’s helped me
mentally too. The longest
part was when I was back
on the grass. I was out
there after four months or
so but I still had another
couple of months ahead
of me. I couldn’t rush back
to playing so being out
there but knowing I was
still some way off was the
hardest bit.”
With all that behind him,
Weimann has hit the
ground running with four
goals to his name so far –
two braces in wins against
Reading and Cardiff City.
His volleyed winner in
South Wales last time out
is his standout strike.
“The goal itself was nice
with how I connected
with the volley but then it
was the scenes after and
celebrating with the fans.
Getting the win in the derby
was very special,” he said. “I
think it’s been a good start
and as was mentioned
before the Cardiff game
we didn’t have the amount
of points we think we

deserved. Performances,
albeit Middlesbrough away,
had been pretty good so I
think the Cardiff game was
important in terms of putting
in another good performance
but also getting the points to
go with it.”
Now City get set to face
Preston North End at Ashton
Gate and the group are in
confident spirits to secure
that first win at home.
Weimann continued: “We’ve
carried on how we’ve
prepared for every game.
We know we haven’t won at
home since January and it’s
all we want to do in front of
our own fans and I think the
performances have merited it.
Against Blackpool we were
10 seconds away from
getting that win and against
Swansea we deserved more,
so performances have been
there. If we can take that
into Preston, then we have a
great chance of picking up
the three points at home.
“Everyone is in a good place
and we’re all good to go.”

Giving Football Back to
Small Business
At eBay, we know small business and
football clubs used to be like chips and
gravy, two peas in a pod – a match
made in community heaven.
Ironmongers, ship workers, spring
makers and cobblers, all formed clubs
which decades later are still prospering.
But nowadays, you’d think it was all
eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues
and mega sponsors, detached from the
humble origins of our historic clubs.
That’s why eBay are proud to support
300,000 small businesses who help
power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be
donating our advertising space to a lot
of these businesses – on match day
hoardings, around grounds and beyond –
throughout the coming season, to ensure
they can continue to thrive in our local
communities. So, join us in giving your
support to Small Business Power, because
today, they need us more than ever.
