Herman 10,899 Posted December 26, 2017 McGovern (GK), Husband, Reed, Vrancic, Watkins, Wildschut, Hanley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,646 Posted December 26, 2017 Three big changes there. Tettey and Trybull should make us hugely more competitive in the middle of the park, and Stiepermann has been poor recently so hopefully Jamal can step up today. Probably the best team available to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 686 Posted December 26, 2017 Looking forward to the game, no excuses today with this line-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alfie54 83 Posted December 26, 2017 Bit hard on Reed who I think has been doing a good job, also don''t think Murphy deserves a start. But good to see Lewis and Trybull in. Pleased to see a defensive two to sit In front of the defence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the best team available to us.[/quote]pretty much my thoughtsI we can''t avoid defeat with this lot then ... yikesthe front four are all capable of scoring and will give the Brum defence a hard time as they all play across the pitch, dragging defenders with themI still say we need an out and out goalscorer, Oliveira is not that player as he will drift wide too oftenbut at least the midfield looks a bit more robust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,713 Posted December 26, 2017 Looks good and should be plenty of movement up front although not sure about Murphy being included - he needs to have a good game.Come on Josh, show us what you''re made of !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,773 Posted December 26, 2017 It''s either going to be very conjested through the middle or Pritch will be expected to play wide right? Pinto can overlap occasionally but can''t be expected to play there all game. Bugger all on the bench, we desperately need another striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanadyan Kanary 129 Posted December 26, 2017 I like the line up but I continue to have concerns over the fact we play only one winger, Its easy to defend against as most of our drive will come down the left. When we do attack on the right through Pinto, we leave ourselves exposed at the back. The reason appears to be so that we can have Maddison and Pritchard in the team (previously Maddison and Wes). I think one of these should play on the right to balance the team and that should probably be Maddison, who will cause defense more problems with his trickery.

Capt. Pants 4,773 Posted December 26, 2017 Come on City! I''d take a point tbh, 3 would be fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,773 Posted December 26, 2017 Watkins was shocking against Brentford and Farke never wants to start with Wildschut? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STAN 30 Posted December 26, 2017 Can’t explain how nice it is to see a midfield without Vrancic dallying around. Hopefully Farke has finally realised where Mario belongs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,033 Posted December 26, 2017 Jamal Lewis has been very good so far in my book. Not the most inspiring football but if we get another I have a feeling the floodgates might open. Blues are there for the taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 6,048 Posted December 26, 2017 Had a great feeling pre match that we could get the points today. Hopeful we can 3 goals and 3 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,379 Posted December 26, 2017 Think this shows you definitely can have Pritchard and Maddison in the same team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,476 Posted December 26, 2017 Brum have come out fighting and we are giving then too much time and space.Saying that, they are gash and a second should kill it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,476 Posted December 26, 2017 And when we do have it, there is far too much titting about at the back. Keep it in their half City! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,773 Posted December 26, 2017 Zimmermann booked, this is going to be a long half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
