Does Doyle come in?? who does Hamer come in for? Does palmer keep his place?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Gotta be Hamer for Allen

Keep Palmer in the 10

Id drop Fadz aswell along with Wilson for Moore

 

[Frostie]

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

0-0 and 1 ACL injury on our shit pitch

 

[SkyblueDad]

Who for ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think he deserves to, the best of the midfield yesterday.

 

[lord_garrincha]

I think he deserves to, the best of the midfield yesterday.

Depends if he's fit enough to back it up, I suppose.

It would be very disappointing if he can not.

 

[Nick]

Hamer in for Allen, Palmer to keep his place.

Rest the same to start with.

 

[larry_david]

Doyle looked decent when he came on

 

[Sick Boy]

Nervy 1-0 win.

This is sandwiched in between my Grandad's funeral on Tuesday and my (and his funnily enough) birthday on Thursday so would very much appreciate us not being shit. I expect us to score at least one, something's got to give with Preston's ridiculous run of 1 goal in 6 games for either side and I reckon it'll be a belting atmosphere finally being back at the CBS. Should give the players a lift and hopefully yesterday will have got rid of some rustiness.

1-0 CCFC, Vik to score

Assuming the same team to start but with Hamer back in for Allen

Sorry to hear of that SBS-hope they give you something to smile about.

All the best for the funeral and birthday mate

Thanks all, appreciate it. He was a big City fan, feel very lucky to have got him in hospitality a couple of times last season before his health took a turn. Have wangled it so the outro song at the funeral is the Eton Boating Song, would have made him smile.

 

[Tommo1993]

4-3 either way

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Not sure whether to swap Moore for Wilson. If he made another error having a larger home crowd on his back could be horrendous.

I'd bring Hamer back in for Allen.

Going by their results so far 0-0. Going by ours 3-2 either way. Though given how we usually play against them most probably to them.

 

[cooperskyblue]

I actually bizarrely have a good feeling about Wednesday.
I think Wilson starts & Hamer comes in for Allen and we will be the first team in the league to score and beat Preston this season.
Got to recreate the unreal atmospheres from last season, get behind the boys and I really do fancy our chances!

 

[Paxman II]

Tough side Preston, always hard to break down. Not the sort of game we wanted just now tbh. However we should have enough to beat them and Hamer should strengthen up the middle of the park. Wilson I think has to start. Adaramola on the bench I would hope. Sheaf needs to show his quality, thought he was lacklustre the other day.

Are we still going to finish 3rd?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

1-0 city Godden

 

[procdoc]

Yeah, third from bottom

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Yeh he looked good when he came on

Top 6 is there for us. Try some positivity in your life.

 

[shmmeee]

A win in any way possible please.

I’d go:

Moore
Rose Fadz Panzo
Dabo Hamer Sheaf Bidwell
Palmer
Györkeres Godden

S: Wilson, Doyle, Eccles, Allen, Waghorn, Walker……… some rando kid or whatever is lying around.

 

[standupforcity]

Yeah, third from bottom

Remember Forest last season...

 

[Philosoraptor]

This one is a bit busy, but included teams (Swansea, Huddersfield and Birmingham) around City's current provisional rating, and also teams (Reading, Norwich and Bristol) near to City's provisional rating when they were at Game 3.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Remember Forest last season...

Maybe we’ll get a new manager and half a new team as well like they did

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

100% agree. Far too much negativity when we could, and should, have won all 3 games so far... losing due to goalkeeping errors. We are good enough for top 6. Waits for the usual abuse.

Tough ask given the lost games and the tight schedule

 

[wingy]

Hyam in for Rose I think.

 

[Ashdown]

Tavares on the bench please and another screamer against these would be welcome

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

And the Tory party could become considerate and altruistic while Scarlett Johansson could declare her undying love for me.

There's positivity and then there's delusional optimism.

Thanks Paxman, I needed cheering up, that proper made me lol.
