Mister Chops 3 Posted December 3, 2011 Oh good, a full strength Man City. I suppose that''s a compliment but let''s come back to that at 5pm. Surman needs to man up today. Good to see Wibrahamovic on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,324 Posted December 3, 2011 Back to the five-man midfield then. Wonder who gets to play behind Morison in the Wes role? Maybe Pilks or Surman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelius 0 Posted December 3, 2011 I agree with the team selection, Fox has been very good so far, but last season Crofts was amazing and he deserves a chance in this great game. OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted December 3, 2011 Morison should have done better there, his control let him down again. Looked like he panicked a bit, he''s been great but this is a definite weakness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,324 Posted December 3, 2011 The bus is well and truly parked. We''re doing well, it has to be said. You can hear Culverhouse and Lambert barking instructions at the defensive and midfield lines to move up together. When we drop too deep it''s a bit nervy.There are glimpses on the counter attack though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 853 Posted December 3, 2011 What''s wrong with Plan A - restrict them to 1 goal for 85 minutes then bring on Holt for the equalizer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lincs CR 0 Posted December 3, 2011 That''s the game gone I feel. Absolute howler from Ruddy, basic free kick without average pace, nobody touches it yet Ruddy''s judgement was all over the place and it just bounced in.Time to bring on Wes and Holt, give them the opportunity to stake a claim to start next week?

Reykjavik Canary 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Ruddy not good enough for the Prem I''ve always said. Shocking keeper.Bring in Craig Gordon. Just something else than Ruddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted December 3, 2011 Every blimmin game we gift the opposition a goal.I will undoubtedly be shot down but this is exactly why Ruddy isn''t ever going to be a great keeper - he can''t deal with crosses, it''s as his feet seem almost nailed to his goal line.

Gingerpele 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Isn''t really surprising to be honest, unfortunately.Maybe Holt and Hoolahan can give us a bit of something extra going forward and we can get a goal or two even if Man.C score a couple more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Wes and Holt both ready to come on, good idea personally. We''ve not created an awful lot going forward today apart from Morison creating his own chances and a long ball from Barnett to Bennett.Real opportunity for these 2 to now prove why they should start next week.
