Meyler straight in as captain

 

[Nick]

Shipley to cover for McCallum?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

What an absolutely gash starting 11.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Bloke in on loan for less than 2 days made captain.

Don't agree with that. Does not say much about the future of Willis either.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Doesn’t look great on paper. That left side is very weak.

 

[stevefloyd]

Shit starting line up

 

[stevefloyd]

We have said for a few weeks ' good starting line up' so with this shit looking one maybe we will do better and may even score a goal

 

[no_loyalty]

One upfront?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Work that one out - numerous different options; 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 4-4-2?

Either way, credit to MR for dropping Chaplin, he isn’t completely blinded. Time for the others to take their chance.

I think it’ll be:

Burge
Sterling Willis Hyam McCallum
Meyler Shipley
Thomas Westbrooke Bright
Hiwula

Or

Burge
Sterling Willis Hyam McCallum
Thomas Meyler Westbrooke Shipley
Hiwula Bright

Shipley in to support McCallum?

Again, it’s a strong team and a bench that can change things.

A what?

 

[no_loyalty]

No Brown again, must have tried to off load him but no takers.

 

[Esoterica]

To be fair those 2 are the only ones in that side old enough to have pubes, and Willis shaves his off. So it was kind of logical.

Willis seemed to be better when he wasn't Captain any more

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Huh what on Earth are people whinging about!!!! Is it Shipley? We can’t keep losing he’s changed things for a response from the team. Willis back in which is great. Chaplin dropped Bayliss by back on the bench

 

[Sick Boy]

2-0 win for city.

The lack of firepower upfront is very concerning, you wouldn’t think we’d spent 1million on strikers ffs

 

[Great_Expectations]

I don’t think it’s shit. Shipley is the weak link as he doesn’t add much offensively, but he’s good positionally. And he’s probably in to cover McCallum.

I assume Bayliss isn’t fully fit hence not starting and nor is Mason.

He’s dropped Chaplin which we all wanted, Willis is back, Sterling and Thomas both start, Meyler is straight in and Westbrooke may be inexperienced but he was a stand out last week.

 

[sylus]

Willis should of been captain, not Meyler ffs.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

McSheffrey talking absolute nonsense on CWR as usual.

 

[Esoterica]

Willis should of been captain, not Meyler ffs.

Willis is no leader. He's a great defender but he barely organises the back 4, nevermind inspires the whole team. Plus he's refused to sign his contract.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The tombolla has given some strange results this week

 

[Great_Expectations]

Willis should of been captain, not Meyler ffs.

Take the sentiment out of it, why should he? He’s poorer when Captain, he’s quiet on the pitch and not a natural leader.

Meyler seems strange, but realistically who else could it be?

 

[Otis]

McSheffrey talking absolute nonsense on CWR as usual.

Big mates with Doyle though, so maybe something in it.

Maybe Doyle has told Sheff this

What was said?

 

[sylus]

Still for today i would of gone with Willis, Giving it Meyler after being in the door a few days,very odd.

 

[Otis]

What was said?

Said Doyle was forced out and he isn't happy with the club.

 

[Otis]

That's Sheff not happy.

Was quite cutting to be honest.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Doyle frozen out and that’s why he’s left. I think that’s it

 

[Otis]

Said anyone who thinks he wasn't forced out is naive.

 

[Otis]

Was rather angry to be honest.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Garry McSheffrey has just lambasted Mark Robins on CWR for letting Michael Doyle go.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Sour grapes as he wasn’t taken by Robins multiple times.

 

[Otis]

Garry McSheffrey has just lambasted Mark Robins on CWR for letting Michael Doyle go.

Isn't that what I just said?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think it’s extremely plausible that Doyle wanted to play and robins couldn’t find him a place so let him leave for a fresh challenge and offer to come back as coach
