BristolBEAT Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Brownhill not in the match day squad not sure he was thinking this when he left Barnsley. Quote Link to comment

BRISTOL86 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 It makes me laugh that we're acting like it's a bad thing that we can't only just about name a bench anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment

Happy with that team, although thought may have gone for Pack as being away from home against likely to be a physical team Yep, he seems to prefer Reid there at the moment, whereas I would like to see Pack and at least see how it goes. He also seems to be warming to Freeman as a starter. Quote Link to comment

Tom Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'd imagine Paterson needs a bit more time to gel, in Lee's mind, as I'd imagine he'd be preferred on the right wing to Freeman... Quote Link to comment
RobArnold10 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I do find it funny how we were screaming out to get a stronger squad and now we have there's outrage because players don't make an 18! The squad will no doubt rotate this year and players accept that! I've even seen one lad on Twitter having kittens because Engvall is not there, the boys probably still carrying a knock. Frankie says relax people. 2 Quote Link to comment
BS3rich Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Interesting line up, also thought Pack might be starting this one as I can see it being a scrappy game. Rotherham must know they're likely to be down there this season. Plenty of attack in this side so maybe get at them early and hope they fold! Come on City!! Quote Link to comment
TrowVegasCidered Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 No engvall or brownhill in squad today- what a squad we have. Like it. Quote Link to comment
Super Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 3 games in 7 days so expect the whole squad to be used. 3 Quote Link to comment

Exactly so. Plenty of options on today's bench- why on earth would Lee rush anyone back in if not fit or ready or both? 2 more games in the next week so more changes will be made. There may not be a permanent 11 more the 11 most suited for LJ's given match day strategy. 1 Quote Link to comment
Luxo Jr. Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Honestly struggling to understand how Reid continues to start in that role (or at all, to be honest, but that's a different thread) after the first half against Villa where we were completely overrun and O Neil appeared to be doing all the work.

Curr Avon Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 An omen for today? The last time City beat Rotherham away, Saturday November 25 1995, 'I Believe' by Robson and Jerome topped the charts. In fact it was so long ago, Sean Goater scored 2, for The Millers! 1 Quote Link to comment
... Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Rotherham must be crapping themselves looking at our first eleven and bench. I can see a home capitulation and fans walk-out. 4-1 to City: bolted-on. Uncle TFR Quote Link to comment

I don't think about old age, in fact, I don't think about lot's of things anymore! ATM, this afters game, hopefully we will get at them and win well, but a draw will be a good result there.
