V difficult to predict starting XI as we don’t know if AA/Murphy will be fit, ir if this new CB will sign this week as mentioned by TM. Concerned at the lack of pace we have going forward when we miss AA/Murphy. Think he will go:
RCC
Ricketts – Ramage – Stokes/New CB – Stokes/Haynes
Rose – Vincelot
JOB – Cole – Murphy
Armstrong/Tudgay
Bench:
Burge, Lorentszon, Bigirimana, Lameiras, Maddison, Hunt, MAF/Tudgay/Armstrong
RCC
Ricketts – Ramage – Stokes/New CB – Stokes/Haynes
Rose – Vincelot
JOB – Cole – Murphy
Armstrong/Tudgay
Bench:
Burge, Lorentszon, Bigirimana, Lameiras, Maddison, Hunt, MAF/Tudgay/Armstrong

Don't think Rose will start, don't think Lorentzten will actually either but here's wishful thinking!

Armstrong/Tudgay dependent on if Arma is fit
Would personally start Rose and Lorentzon shifting Stokes to LB and Haynes and Bigi out the side, but neither likely to happen

Oh, and 2-0 City in front of 11.5K.

If he's insistent on playing Murphy, I'd be tempted to play him in a striker type role.
Armstrong isn't getting as much service recently and he certainly doesn't get it when Murphy plays. I think Murphy has the right attributes to be a striker though, and if he wants to be greedy then we can allow that in that position. He definitely played well against Gillingham going through the middle.
If we do that however, it means we're going to have to rejig the midfield as we'll be playing with 2 strikers:
Burge
Lorenztzen Ricketts Ramage Stokes
JOB Vincelot Rose Lameiras
Armstrong Murphy
I'm only dropping RCC as I think he needs a bit of a rest, and possibly bringing back down to earth a little bit (without sounding too harsh). Give Burge a game and keep the competition strong. Bigi for me isn't good enough and doesn't offer enough to the team positively, so I'd throw Rose in for a home debut and see how he gets on. Alternatively Cole or Maddison may be able to play in that position if it isn't too defensive
You could also go three at the back and put Maddison in behind the strikers. We need to win tomorrow, why not go for it?

I dont think Armstrong will be risked, i hope tudgay is fit and given another chance, cole needs to play week in week out now as well... get Bassa on the subs bench at least

Burge still scares me too much, more so than RCC even.
Ignoring defensive frailties the forward facing section of that second idea could be good. If theres enough cover from the wide midfielders it might even help compress the defence?
If I could choose, maybe:
RCC
Ramage Ricketts Stokes
Lorentzon Vince Fleck Lameiras
JOB Maddison
Armstrong
Otherwise I think TM will stick with the normal back 4 and go for:
RCC
Lorentzon Ramage Ricketts Stokes
Vince Rose
JOB Maddison Lameiras
Arma

As much as I love TM, I think he needs to do far less tinkering in the midfield. Last weekend may have been enforced but we need a balance and blend; not all youth and not all experience. Burton backfired because of playing Armstrong, Murphy, Maddison and Lameiras. Too feeble and no bite our nous!
I'm hoping that we shake off our injuries, can draft in a new centre half, bring in the Swede and get back to what was fast becoming a routine Ricoh win. 2-0 to the Sky Blues to silence the doubters;

Whereas last week when none of your so called 'feeble' players started it went so much better...

Tough one this, would probably come down to who is showing resolve in training in reality, but considering I don't know that:
RCC
Lorentzson Ricketts Stokes/NewCB Haynes/Stokes
Vincelot Rose
JOB Cole Maddison
Armstrong/Tudgay.
S: Burge, Ramage, Hunt, Bigi, Lameiras, Murphy/Sambou, Tudgay/MAF

Course we will. We should be far too strong. First defeat of the season at home last time out and that was very much self-inflicted.
New CB to shore up the back four, Lorentzson in and suddenly we will be watertight .........ish.
It's the other end I am more focusing on and I expect us to be scoring on Saturday. It's been just one goal scored in 3 matches so that really needs to change and I think Armstrong and Murphy will be on the scoresheet.
