iron_stan 0 Posted December 6, 2014 no width, no pace, no cluenot much point in playing two strikers if you arent going to have the wide men to supply themthis will be forest all over again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flying high up in the sky! 1 Posted December 6, 2014 Martin at cb doesn''t work.Turner dropped FOUR central midfielders!!!!!!!This c##t hasn''t got a clue.GET him out now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,551 Posted December 6, 2014 WWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFF???????????????????No creativity in that team whatsoever. No flair, no invention, two target men, no width a combination in midfield that looks pedestrian at best...............(cue 4-0 win to Norwich [;)] ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,838 Posted December 6, 2014 Hmmm, it does look like he''s battening the hatches and settling for a point. My only hope is to bring on Redmond/Murphy quite early in the second half once we''ve bored them to apathy.Bloody hell, i normally try to err on the positive side. Come on City, pull something out of the hat today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted December 6, 2014 Cannot see the logic of this selection at all, I''m afraid.Could almost be a team to try and grind out a 0-0 draw a la Hughton, but draws are no good to us now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,551 Posted December 6, 2014 Why two strikers and no creativity? One striker and a Murphy or a Redmond would surely cause more trouble for Wigan. Could be a long afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrs miggins 0 Posted December 6, 2014 Wigans main threat is out wide, so why the f*ck firstly are we playing whittaker over martin at RB who can''t defend as well, also why we are playing with such a narrow midfield, who''s going to stop the crosses? Howson out wide, Johnson on the left. If he loses this game surely he''s got to go...please, he will have to go. This is going to be a scrappy game, not that thats the main issue, by a long way.

nutty nigel 7,648 Posted December 6, 2014 Funny you should say that Purple, I just said exactly the same thing..Looking at our line up it looks to be playing to the strengths of the front 2. Hooper is good playing on the shoulder of the last man. Think about the goal Jerome scored against Bolton. I''d love be Wes to be in there but obviously not fit enough. Let''s wait and see what happens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted December 6, 2014 What a shocking team selection! Still as someone else has said, let''s wait till 5 o clock.But That team doesn''t look like a team sent out to win a match to keep the manager in his job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 275 Posted December 6, 2014 isnt it 4 variations but 5 consecutive changes?less worried about martin in the back 4 than that midfield - BJ straight back in and wide left; and no redmond; and finally jerome and hooper as a strike force who had less chemistry last week than an arts only school Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,648 Posted December 6, 2014 Indeed Purple. Certainly didn''t see Turners omission coming. I''malways happy to wait and see though. I see its already been established that a positive result would be a fluke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
