No disagreement with starting XI but believe we could see Hinds instead of a defender on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WECANDO Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Brownhill is better in the middle. So he's in and Smith out. Then O'Dowda on the left and Patterson on the right. Simple. City 3 Barnsley 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, however, I would much prefer to see Brownhill in the centre in place of Smith with cod and pato on the wings. Think brownhill and reid could link up well and give us a bit extra creativity to our attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think brownhill and reid could link up well and give us a bit extra creativity to our attack From what I saw of COD last year I think he'd be better deployed from the bench on Saturday. I think it's a big season for him though - he needs to score a few goals, let's say 5 would be a good haul for him. I like him but I think he needs to be looked after a bit, at times last season he looked a little as though he was trying a bit too hard...if that makes any sense at all. Brownhill in the middle is a good shout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSMRobin Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I refer back to reading at home last season. We played a slick counter attacking style with brownhill through the middle which was effective against one of the best sides in the division, just need to play for 90 minutes instead of 70. Anyway, I think with reid and the wingers we could get a fair bit of joy adopting this style.

The Coach Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm confident Flint will not play. He will be on the bench, post match interview Johnson will say Flints head has been turned elsewhere etc. I'm pretty confident he will gone soon.

Reid playing in behind is just a stop gap...but he misses more than he scores. Smith....thought he was the answer to right back end of last season....:laugh:, no goals there too. Massive pressure on Diedhiou...can it be third time lucky City have a 20 goal striker in the Champ? Hopefully Reid is taken off and Engvall gets a good run out to prove his worth. People saying this game should be a win....I see City holding he ball but not creating much. Will miss Tomlin badly. apart from Diedhio, Paterson, Flint and Pisano there's no goals in that team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Before we get too carried away with Pisano s goals (Like the attacking side of him and he may surpass his 'average' ) He averages a goal / 14.5 games over his career So 3 / 4 a season (Not knocking that - every little helps) My hope is Famara gets on fire and for a surprising contributor (COD ?)

Flint.....not a regular scorer...relying on a centre back! Pisano....eh? 1 So you agree the whole midfield hasn't contributed much in the past. 2 City's pre-season was against woefull opposition.....shock to system on Saturday when the fun starts. Oh forgot to add...yeah Paterson the 20 million player who barely played last season. He was just a product of LJ's desperation in changing formation and players to try and win. 1 the whole midfield haven't contributed enough since 2010 2 We've had a good pre-season playing good football, but Pre-season means nothing, have you looked at Barnsley's pre-season tho? They've lost to Grimbsy Huddlesfield and Rotherham, and lost all their good players without being replaced, Paterson was being kept out of the side by Tomlin, thankfully Johnson realized Tomlin brought nothing to the team and reinstated Pato (which coincided with our best run and us pulling away from danager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
