Evil Monkey 52 Posted October 27, 2006 They do seem to have been doing a spot of "Stealth Squad Building"... no idea where the cash has come from, and I must admit to being surprised when I heard Hendrie was going to Stoke and not somewhere like Wolves or West Brom. Considering it''s a loan, he was always going to go "local", and Stoke''s only up the road from Brum. But........ Stoke?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canary cherub 1 Posted October 27, 2006 Looking at the table, their problem appears to be turning draws into wins. They''ve only won three but drawn six out of 13. They''ve only lost four and their GD is +2, both better than us. 18th position but only 3 points behind.I''m with TPC, a draw would be a good result especially if our key players aren''t fit.

I don`t think Grant was kidding , this match could be Halloween come early for us , that forward line up looks scary enough ......Looks like a case for all out attack , gotta give Eagle an outing in this match ! even if Hucks is available .....

However they are not and as we as City fans are too well aware 11 good players just bunched together in a side are very rarely a match for a good team.

Quantum 0 Posted October 27, 2006 [quote user="sheded"]Don`t forget Bangoura ...... jaysus, they`re all over 6 ft ![/quote]Yeah, was just about to mention him - I remember Greeno having to pull off an amazing save to stop him scoring from a corner at CR last season. And providing he turns up on time (which probably isn''t guaranteed) I would expect him to play some part with Sidibe and Fuller. Apart from them all looking the same that''s one hell of a physical strikeforce. Shacks and the Doc will have to be at their absolute best to get that 4th straight clean sheet. As mentioned, I hope Eagle is given his chance, but only if Hucks isn''t ready; I wouldn''t really want to drop Croft or put Huckerby up front but that''s just me.For me this is probably harder than Cardiff - we''ve looked more than suspect defensively against big strikeforces not all that long ago. Would probably take a point from the game right now.Also I just read on the sky sports website that Gallacher is doubtful with a ''back injury''. I can''t remember seeing this anywhere else so is it likely to be a mistake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
