Also it's not Tomkinson's debut tonight, he played against Birmingham in the Carabao Cup in August.

Well "first start in the leauge for us in the championship" wouldn't quite fit the title limit im afraid

He can. I can remember Steve Walsh and Victor Segura.

[Samwam27 527]

Could it be 4-3-3 with midfield and attack as

Nunez - Hayden - Sara

Sarg Pukki Cantwell

[City 2nd 191]

Could well be Smiths last match as manager of NCFC!

Spot on. That's the set up.

Sara   , 🇧🇷  is watching ESPN4.

I don’t consider that we have a c/b crisis, we are playing our 4th choice that’s all, though I’ve long said we needed another.  Smith considers JT good enough so we go with that.

My main concern remains l/b, we seem to get an injury in that position nearly every other game!!

Injury/illness has left our bench really rather weak, but the starting XI is pretty strong

Bit much comparing him to them already. He's looked ok whenever I've seen him.

Lets hope so

[Capt. Pants 4,225]

On the plus side it's our first choice midfield and forward players.

I would hope our 'game plan' is to attack.

I wonder how many simple passes we're going to misplace today.

I have literally never seen him play, ever.

I was pointing out that there were worse players than Gibson, as the poster said he "can't be worse than Gibson".

Entirely possible at the moment

[nutty nigel 7,527]

Surely Tomkinson has been in the first team squad all season. Fourth choice I know but surely fourth choice is there to be played?

At least McLean is not playing so think we will get something. (Hopefully not a thrashing!)

Only because he left One Direction.

[Google Bot 3,266]

One of our greatest results ever we were missing 8 players. Just sayin'

I thought people were zoning in more on there being an U18 centre back on the bench, than on Tomkinson starting?

He even gets a slagging when he isn't playing?

We started with 3?  OMG

[canarybubbles 1,915]

It's a no-lose for the Smith set. 

Get thumped and it's because he was unlucky with injuries. Anything else and it proves he's a genius.

He really is king of the scapegoats, isn’t he?!

[Danbury Yellow 126]

Might be a controversial thing to highlight, given  the circumstances.  But the delay of this fixture has been very detrimental in both terms of available players and the form of both teams. Couldn’t have been worse! Tough night I fear.

I guess if the fourth choice plays they need to find a fifth choice from somewhere. Ideally Sorenson or Byram could cover but needs must.

Anyone any idea on how we will line up tonight???

No, but that's nothing new when Smith announces the team each week.
