Nah just get suspicious when they become this protracted.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yep we really need something from this one. With Norwich away and then WBA to follow we could become cut adrift.

 

[Bugsy]

Forget the doom and gloom for this game plenty of time to vent at our incompetent owners, 1st home game let's make it a party atmosphere and try and lift the squad ......PUSB

 

[skyblue025]

Expect us to dominate this one and lose 1 nil to the only shot on target they manage. Bogey team for us. Crowd 16500 and Anti SISU songs before the end. Oh and Hamer to get at least 1 yellow card.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Hamer for Allen, Walker in for Gyokeres.

Atmosphere rancid.

0-2

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Hamer in for Allen, Wilson in for Moore and Doyle in for Rose

1-0 city. Godden to score around the 75th minute

Wilson
Panzo - Fadz - Doyle
Dabo - Sheaf - Hamer - Bidwell
Palmer
Godden - Gyökeres

Subs: Moore, Rose, Burroughs, Allen, Waghorn, Tavares, Walker​

 

[stupot07]

Personally I would like us to go back to the box for this one, we look too light weight in midfield and for me Godden and Gyokeres just don't work together. He won't though because you can't drop either of them. A last minute transfer bid may change that. I would expect him to go with the same team as Saturday but Hamer for Allen.

As much as Moore has been awful, Wilson is equally as error prone.

Palmer did ok on Saturday but I felt Waghorn had more of an impact when he came on so I would be tempted to give him the nod in the 10.

.................Moore
........Rose...Fadz...Panzo
Dabo..Hamer..Sheaf.....Bidwell
..........Allen....Waghorn
..............Gyokeres

Subs: Wilson Doyle Palmer Eccles Godden Walker Taveres.

First one on Ifollow?

 

[Nick]

Hopefully will see a bit of fight, they are a horrible team so we can't let them just come and bully us.

Ideally that doesn't mean a Hamer booking in the 3rd minute for him tripping somebody up off the ball for no reason.

There was laughter when looking at Ryan Bennett's bookings, but I wonder how many of them were 'taking one for the team'?

In Gus' case... this never happens, which only pisses you off more.

ffs website says it's not on ifollow. Assuming that's us saying we don't want it to to try get as many people down there as possible?

Not sure the club has a say, does it?

 

[MAFF]

nope. it's not on ifollow as it is a round of fixtures that have been moved due to the world cup i.e. it would normally have been a weekend fixture so no on ifollow.

I thought they could choose with midweek games whether to put it on or not, as the home team.

 

[larry_david]

Ah okay, how disappointing

 

[lord_garrincha]

Club's twitter did respond to someone about this. Saying that, in an ordinary season, it's a weekend fixture.

So that's my sickie excuse to my gaffer sorted on Thursday!

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Are we still going to finish 3rd?

Are we still going to finish 24th?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Just win don’t care how but win

Exactly this. Play shit for a change and win.

Think there will be changes.

Wilson for Moore (dont think it's a change anyone wants but has to be made as Moore just needs to be taken out of limelight)

Palmer for Allen.

Unchanged.

Left field from me. High scoring win for us 3-2. We wont keep a clean sheet again.

 

[shmmeee]

What a ridiculous rationale.

 

[larry_david]

What a ridiculous rationale.

Yeah I was going to comment but wasn't sure if i'd get shot down. So it's been moved due to a world cup and instead of everyone agreeing it's now a midweek game and to make it available for all, they've just stuck to the initial terms of the fixture? Make it make sense!

Not even sure how it’s been moved? Surely the fixtures were always on those dates.

 

[MusicDating]

Hopefully won't play then

 

[edgy]

Hopefully won't play then

More Boddy brilliance.

 

[Frostie]

Hopefully won't play then

It's Middlesbrough & it's been rejected.

 

[Sick Boy]

Yep we really need something from this one. With Norwich away and then WBA to follow we could become cut adrift.

In typical City fashion we’ll lose to Preston, beat Norwich and then get the usual hammering off West Brom.

 

[CV22SBA]

Hamer in for Allen, Wilson in for Moore and Doyle in for Rose

1-0 city. Godden to score around the 75th minute

Wilson
Panzo - Fadz - Doyle
Dabo - Sheaf - Hamer - Bidwell
Palmer
Godden - Gyökeres

Subs: Moore, Rose, Burroughs, Allen, Waghorn, Tavares, Walker​

Doyle is nowhere near ready for Championship football. Agree with the other two changes though. Moore surely has been warned already prior to Hull about his mistakes.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

It's Middlesbrough & it's been rejected.

They'll be back in for Gyokeres then

 

[AOM]

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.

Agree with this team.

I've seen calls to drop Moore for Wilson, but Moore is the far superior keeper and think he needs to continue playing to get back into form, rather than rotate keepers after every error

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Are we still going to finish 24th?

Probably

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

They'll be back in for Gyokeres then

Luckily for them, Boddy has just slashed the price from 7.5 million down to 1 million if they pay up front!

 

[Greggs]

Can't wait to finally be able to shit in a canal again, it's been ages.

 

[Macca]

Keeper to command box, defence to be organised and solid. Midfield to go forward at more than 0.5 mph. Players to “shoot” instead of passing sideways across box. 4-0 city, Waghorn hat trick

 

[edgy]

Home attendance looks ok. Block 14-22 nearly sold out. Shame the walk up will be depleted by recent feeling.
