[jono_t2000]

Bristol City resting top scorer Mehmeti and Nahki Wells not fit enough to start.

Exclude those 2 and they've got basically no goalscorer in their team

 

[robbiez666]

Seems like a risk to change both your right sides defenders....

Hopefully Seriki can handle JRS lack of tracking back..

 

[sheff_blade90]

10 cup finals to get promotion. looking forward to holding making his full debut. although im surpised its only 3 changes. i was expecting few. i assumed moore to be up front not campbell

 

[robbiez666]

Hopefully Seriki can handle JRS lack of tracking back..

The whole right hand side is a potential weakness, but City's most dangerous players are out so maybe not a biggie.

 

[Wireblade]

I’m surprised Shackleton isn’t on the bench as he has been playing u23s and covers both right back and centre mid.

 

[Stretch]

I think our hand has been forced at RB through injuries and the need for Choudhury to cover CM. I also don't think it's worth risking Anel getting another yellow and missing Sunday.

 

[Matlock Blade]

I don't think Wilder is putting out the strongest possible team. If Anel is 1 yellow card away from a ban we should still be playing him. Are we risking tonight in the hope of him playing on Sunday? Let's hope we don't end up losing both games!

Fair points, but I think you'd probably look to someone stronger than JRS defensively in that case. Especially given Seriki will be bombing forward.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Gotta be winning this if we want 100 points

 

[ChezVegasBlade]

Think Anel is more important for Coventry game which he would miss if booked tonight

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

The team sheet will be interesting tonight.

Presumably we won't risk Souza or Hamer if not 100%? Do we risk Anel getting another booking and missing Sunday? Is Seriki ready to start, and who covers if he can't do 90 mins if Choudhury has to cover in midfield?

Suspect it will be something like this:

---------------------------Cooper-----------------------------
Seriki----------Holding--------Robbo----------Burrows
--------------Choudhury---------Peck---------------------
Rak-Sakyi--------------O'Hare----------------------BBD
--------------------------Campbell---------------------------

Davies
Anel
McCallum
Shackleton?
Blacker
Brooks
Brewster
Cannon
Moore

Take a bow, new ITK.

 

[Stretch]

Take a bow, new ITK.

First time for everything mate

 

[brownblade]

Guessing we may match Wednesday with 3 at the back on Sunday. So Anel gets a rest and avoids a booking, while Holding also gets his eye in tonight.

 

[Teddybear]

If both vini and hamer miss this one i dont think we will win , if either one makes it i think we win. No matter what play front foot football dont let city gain a foothold in the game.

wrong

 

[knowsnowt]

Sharp and Fleck not even on the bench.
Signs of a dressing room rift?
Wilder ahhhht.

 

[Teddybear]

no it doesnt

we will win

Why would we match up to them.. they should be worrying about us

 

[gooseh]

Probably missed it, where's Cannon? Returned under warranty?

 

[brownblade]

Very standard procedure, as we saw in our heyday.

 

[JayGreen17]

20% possession……..

 

[Jan Age]

Peck and choudary do not work together in the middle

 

[Blacksea]

Looks like Real Madrid have turned up.

 

[Barnette]

We are going to be waiting a long time for a goal tonight I fear

 

[JayGreen17]

Looks like Real Madrid have turned up.

We’re certainly making them look that way…. Just standing off them, then when we do get the ball lose possession, midfield is terrible…..

 

[Jan Age]

Poor start … poor tactics (again) but lack of options despite or tef window

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Choudhury playing a bit too deep at the moment.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Holding playing very well so far

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Choudhury playing a bit too deep at the moment.

He is and he's slow at pushing into midfield when we have the ball.
