dereks no1 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Good performance on Saturday but a few players now fit and rested as well as playing different kind of opponents. Starting XI? Personally I'd go with: Giefer Vyner Flint Wright Magnusson Cotterill Hegeler O'Neil Bryan Taylor Djuric Aston Villa have a shaky defensive and the combination of Taylor and Djuric could cause all kinds of problems especially if Cotterill and Bryan play the way the have in the past few games. The two in the middle should stand up against the experienced Jedinak/Lansbury/Hourihane and the defensive is pretty self explanatory.

COYR One thing is certain,we won't keep the same side as Saturday,we can't keep a winning side(not many wins I know)let alone a drawing side.

Lack of Action Man Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'd absolutely be starting Djuric and Taylor if both fit. Dare I say it, I might even be inclined to go 3-5-2 tonight. What am I thinking?! Gk: Giefer RWB: Cotterill RCB: Wright CB: Flint LCB: Magnusson LWB: Bryan CM: Smith CM: GON/Hegler CAM: Tomlin ST: Djuric ST: Taylor Gung-ho approach, but let's face it. We need points on the board. I look forward to seeing the manager's choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My exact team, Cotterill has the work rate to play RWB and Magnusson can't not play + with no real RB a Cotteril/Wright partnership should be good enough for the right.

Big C Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 The only problem being that Djuric is unlikely to be fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Trying to second guess LJ's selection is about the best entertainment you can have as a City supporter these days. So many combinations that you have more chance of winning the half time draw than getting it right! And for those of old enough to remember her, it was beautifully summed up by Toyah "It's a Mythtery"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Reading the Villa Forum they were worried about the mobility of Tammy until they realised he's injured They were saying against a low mobility big man they can cope all day long but struggle against mobility and runs in behind Real shame that Tammy not available - Does he go Wilbs alone (Duric still injured I believe) or together with Taylor Difficult as it looks like Wilbs up top might suit them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Could we play Taylor alone up top - did he ever do this for the other lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundz18 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'd keep as close as possible to the side that played on the weekend, only swapping out the players who are too tired to play another game so soon.. was a good performance, no need to change too much unless we need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the team at Newcastle deserved to left out tonight. That said, the main question is whether Father Wilbraham will be able to start another game so soon after the last one.

Alessandro Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Wilbs, Korey, GON and O'Dowda all have to be 'doubts' after Saturday and the ones likely to be left out given their fitness/match fitness. Would be happy to see us pack midfield with as much pace as possible and try and get at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Giefer, Vyner, Flint, Wright, Bryan, Cotterill, O'Neil, Reid, K.Smith, O'Dowda, Wilbraham. Same team then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a wet potentially heavy pitch, I would imagine that both Wilbs & GO'N may need replacing at some point. Seems unlikely they will both manage 90 minutes twice in 4 days after so few starts recently. Taylor to come on later and run against tiring defenders perhaps? We will see. Come on you Reds!!

Robbored Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Father Wilbraham is able to start! That's a bonus. He'll last an hour or so I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
