Or he is injured and we don't have anyone else/want the opposition to know.
Walker makes the bench as well, but no Waghorn. The new LB and Kane nowhere to be seen.
Note, the text said COH had a 'hamstring tweak'. Doesn't sound that serious. I'm certain he's being sold and we are just protecting an asset.
Sooner have a fit Eccles than a slightly iffy Dabo (if he has a slight niggle)
Come on City !
Come on City !
Where's Waghorn? Has he been bombed off?
What about the lad from Palace?
What about the lad from Palace?
No doubt we'll quickly move from he's out for months to he's been sold
It was pretty obvious he wanted away at the end of last season
Possibly he was made promises when he came that haven't worked out
Oh well
Waghorn only back in training on Friday. Adaramola I assume hasn't been here long enough to feature yet
I would think Adamarola hasn’t had time enough training with the team yet to put him straight in?
Re Waghorn maybe he just sees Walker more in form….or perhaps he’s being moved on
I do think he will be gone bit strange as he's never injured and gets kicked all game.
Could have the lad from Palace on the bench at least, throw him on for some pace if needed.
Think without O’Hare that’s a decent line up, can juggle a bit with substitutes, fancy a result today
We’ve got no choice but to play 2 strikers, we only have 1 fully fit AM
Guess it's now confirmed COH won't play which is a blow, but not having COH in the lineup will show whether the rest of the team can pick up the pieces and play without him. Think he only missed the loss vs Swansea last season where we were abysmal. Really hope for a better showing today. If we end up selling COH, we have to learn how to play without him anyway. So maybe this is a challenge that could end up being a blessing or curse depending on how you perceive it. If he does end up being sold, this "injury" could be a cover-up for the move. In that case, hope our recruitment team is working overtime to draft replacements in.
3 pereramis
With Jamie Allen, the creative maestro, pulling the strings.........
We started last season with Dabo at CB, DaCosta playing RWB and Waghorn upfront...
Hoping Eccles will surprise a few today, he’s going to be a great player if he can stay injury free.
Two up top is good to see aswell.
Not buying the whole O’Hare hamstring “tweak”. He’s either done his hamstring properly which is unbelievable considering he barely ever gets injured , or he is off to Burnley.
But we can only support the boys on the pitch , so come on lads!!

One attacking midfielder injured and all of a sudden we look pretty light in that position. Mad really.
