old_eastender Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Assuming we won't want to risk Baker reckon we should go with: Fielding or Steele Pisano, Flint, Wright, Bryan Brownhill, Pack, Smith, COD Taylor or Djuric, Reid I can see the argument for starting Djuric, but also the argument for keeping him back on the bench if we need him. COD should play on the left not the right, Pato is not fit based on Sunderland performance so don't play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up front is the real dilemma, Taylor is not a natural partner for Reid and Djuric isn't match fit. I'd go with the big Bosnian for an hour and bring Taylor on when he starts to tire. Agree 100% with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hopefully we change shape slightly and go three in midfield. I think everyone would be happy with a point tomorrow and I expect Johnson remembers going up against Fulham at home last season and giving away 70% possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what happened at Sunderland on Saturday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is easy Yes. However fitnessof Smith, Djuric Pato and Taylor is key. This is going to be an interesting team as we don't know what knocks we have since Saturday. Odowda had a stormer but Pato was a bit off. I expect. Fielding Pissano Wright Flint Bryan odowda Pack Smith Brownhill Taylor Reid To start but who knows outside of the camp who is start fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Fielding Pisano, Flint, Wright, Bryan Paterson, Brownhill, Smith, O’Dowda Taylor, Reid (Don’t risk Baker - prefer him to be fully fit for Cardiff.

On the bench, Vyner, Magnússon, Kelly, Leko, Duric and Taylor, plus of course Steele. Aim is to get a point and grab three if we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freezer Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Fulham were knocked out of the EFL Cup by the blue few. If we only draw, or heaven forbid lose, that equates in gas logic land that we are therfore not as good as them. Believe me, that would happen in their minds. Notwithstanding the fact that we have just passed the 17th anniversary of our superiority. I really hope we win tomorrow, for many reasons more than the above. Up The City.

Chappers Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 No point messing around or trying to be clever. Pisano in for Baker, maybe Smith for Paterson, but as Pato/ COD have been instrumental in our good form, maybe just leave well alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I would start Leko on the right instead of Patterson - I know about his assists record but he has been a bit out of the last 2 or 3 games and not sure he is fully over his illness and back to strength. Duric and Patterson as double impact sub after 60 mins - if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Korey is fit and josh brownhill starts don't be surprised to see marlon on the bench. To me Pack is essential In his unglamorous role as a defensive midfielder. The role strengthens City ability to limit the opposition goal scoring opportunities - especially away from home. Id be very surprised if he doesn't start.

SStandUp Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I personally expect things to be freshened up slightly, and I hope this is the case. Not sure how this might look, but could be an unexpected team tonight, with the thought process being energy; especially after two tough games and Cardiff at the weekend.

Monkeh Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 how can you not have our most creative player (the championships most creative current player) in the side, Pato is fit he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I would start with: Fielding, Pissano, Flint, Wright, Bryan, Elliasson, Brownhill, Smith, COD, Djuric, Reid. That's assuming Patts and Baker are not 100%. Don't think it's worth playing them if they are not. Elliasson and COD would have someone to really aim at in the box.

Personally, think we're better starting with Djuric and Bringing Taylor on. I feel we're more likely to get a foothold in the game and a lead with him starting + Taylor will be more effective with Reid if Fulham are chasing the game.
