Dabo has been bad enough in his natural position. This could be interesting...

He’ll be off for Burroughs when he tires I guess. Kelly might get 20 mins. Aside from that can’t see MR making any subs.

How will we know if he’s good enough if Robins doesn’t play him?

To be fair he's been behind
Gyok
Godden
Walker
Waghorn
Tavares.

If he was standing out in the U21's he would have been pushing himself into the squad based on merit.

Jesus Christ.

Wonder the Man City lad isn’t on the bwnch

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Where’s Wilson Esbrand? Injured already?

He's on the video on Twitter walking on the pitch with the other players

 

[Grendel]

Again it shows selling players before you have a squad together is just plain odd. The bench is just not enough quality

Keep up Stupot

Probably right about Burroughs. Please God not Kelly though, Lorraine Kelly would be about as much use.

Yeah forcing to play dabo

 

[Tommo1993]

We could’ve always weakened the bench by keeping Waghorn. But no, we let him go.

Maybe bring him on at HT to run at their tired legs.

 

[lord_garrincha]

The best game Dabo played for a while was up against Djed Spence at LWB.

You need a bit of hope!

 

[Blind-Faith]

Am I reading this right, 2 keepers on the bench, plus 4 kids on the bench and Dabo playing CB??? Fuck me…..

Thats a hilarious sqaud tbh

Reinforcements needed at pace or we will plummet

As others have said, you have to do deals when you can. It's unlikely that if we'd have had 3 'new' players on the bench to have affected today's result, either way. If we haven't got one or two in for Norwich, then I'd agree with you.

Ok fair enough, just blow me then

he didn’t play badly last time at LWB but I’m convinced he isn’t fit the last few times I’ve seen him play, looks a shadow of his former self

 

[Greggs]

I hope we don't concede early on, will e a very very long afternoon.

 

[stupot07]

At least Robins has some ready made excuses for when we lose.

Oh it’ll be wrapped up by HT

 

[lord_garrincha]

Moaning about the bench?

HE DOESN'T MAKE SUBS!!!

No need to stress.

It's not the World Cup. Injury time should be normal.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Probably been covered elsewhere, but why isn't a video pass available via ifollow ?

 

[Matt smith]

Where’s the new signing

 

[OldBedrocker]

They will tear Dabo to pieces. Why not start Burroughs?

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Ebrand played LWB in Champs League but he's behind an unfit out of position Dabo and 2 reserve keepers have made bench ahead of him?

 

[OldBedrocker]

My lad says that Wilson Esbrand is not match fit. Surely worth a place on the bench over a keeper though

 

[djr8369]

Feeling confident?

It’s clearly not a managerial decision is it? There’s obviously a reason he’s not in the squad

Blimey that’s as weak a bench as I can remember for City, relative to the league being played in.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

3-1 loss

Hopefully new wingbacks play tho. Hearing very promising things about man city one especially

I said Mark Robins wouldn't play both new wingbacks, Robins not brave enough.

no idea, it is not on TV which is the usual reason. If you have a vpn connect from outside the UK and it should work (in theory)

 

[PVA]

"The bench is rubbish!"

Some time later this afternoon...

"make some subs Robins!"

We had some poor benches in our first season back but I'm struggling to think of one worse that today's.

Two goalkeepers is just laughable
