Bristol City FC 

⚽️ #BristolCity v Wolves: Fielding, Wright, Flint, Baker, Bryan, O'Dowda, Brownhill, K.Smith, Leko, Reid, Diedhiou. #WOLvBRC

⚽️ #BristolCity subs: Steele, Magnússon, Pack, Eliasson, Paterson, Taylor, Woodrow. #WOLvBRC

Seems a bit odd.  Wright at right back?  

Three at back I would suspect 

[Portland Bill]

Leko should be right up for this, West Brom player playing against Wolves!

[Engvall's Splinter]

Gotta be 3 centre halves. Right?

 

Otherwise this smacks of square pegs. El-Abd anyone?

Who will be the right wingback.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Quite like the look of that, interesting to see how we set up - 3 at the back or BW at RB.

Guessing he'll just be sitting back just trying to keep things tight given Vyner was beaten a lot. Wonder how close LJ was to moving Smith to RB. 

[RedRock]

Wow. Going for it big time wth a 3-5-2? 

Ballsy.

My guess is 3-5-2 with Brownhill RWB and Bryan LWB

[MyBrotherErnie]

                             Fielding
       Wright             Flint               Baker
O'Dowda                                                Bryan
                  Smith           Brownhill
Reid                  Diedheou               Leko

Would be my guess. Odd nonetheless.

Can't see it being 3 at the back unless odowda plays right wing back.

[Oops]

Smith and Bryan as wing backs? 

Brave selection. On this basis, I'm going for a solid 3-4 away win

Flint, Wright, Baker

COD, Brownhill, Leko, Smith, Bryan

Fammy, Reid

Got to have Brownhill in the centre with korey

[Numero Uno]

Think we're trying to win this one 10-9.

[City Ben]

Think he'll keep it simple to minimize the changes after a good win, and play Wright at right back. Less attacking than Vyner, but more solid. Leko left wing. Easy now.

COD in the middle..?!

Smith and Brownhill the only central midfielders so guessing no Smith at RWB

Don't think Leko is going into the middle of midfield.

I think that's probably most likely.

No, probably more advanced. 

More like 3-4-1-2

[Phileas Fogg]

Had a feeling we'd play this formation. Interesting. Either a masterstroke or will be an absolute disaster.

 

[Numero Uno]

This selection lies somewhere between genius and ridiculous, just can't work out where!!

But with Frank nigh on impossible to beat perhaps we can play any formation and get away with it!!

Brave, again. 

If it works then deserves serious credit!

 

[Kingswoodactor]

I actually think it's 4-4-2 with Wright going to RB.

Leko left wing (his favourite position)

Don't think city will be as lucky as they were against Reading with regards to Readings awful finishing on Saturday. Should of been 3-1...but hey lucky LJ didn't sell Flint. 1-1 tonight with a backs to wall hard fought draw. 

So we've gone from

"all credit to LJ if we beat Reading today"

To

"We were lucky"

[bristolcitysweden]

Fielding

Wright, Flint, Baker, Bryan

O'Dowda, Smith, Brownhill, Leko

Reid

Diedhiou

 

[winterbournered]

Already written this one off. Wolves were my tip at the start of the season, a great start after playing some decent teams further reinforces that I think they'll be there or thereabouts. Chuck in our awful record at their place. 2-0 to Wolves

Same here, the only way we could play with wingback is with Odowda at right wing back.

[dereks no1]

Fair enough LJ! Just seen that Wolves are starting with exactly the same formation. LJ has picked a solid team that looks to neutralise Wolves threat and offer a bit of pace and bit up front. Most players in our squad have played in this formation before and it allows us to play defensively and soak up their obvsious quality whilst offering exciting pace in Leko, O'Dowda, Bryan, and Ried. Also nice to see Taylor back on a very impressive bench.
