WirralRobin Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 4 minutes ago, Cider red said: To be fair; I would have picked something similar, 4 5 1 makes sense as Fulham are strong in midfield, not sure why he has reverted to it now when we could have done with an extra man in midfield about 6 games ago mind! Would possible put Eliason in for Odowda; other than that it's not a bad side. Agreed although there will be alot of defensive work without the ball today and coupled with O'dowda's superior ability to dribble/drive us up the pitch quickly - I would agree with LJ with Callum over Eliasson on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Odowda again? For sure, really dont understands that. Really hope COD can show what LJ see in him. always backing LJ but when he plays a player that adds nothing Im worried. Anyway dont feel optimistic but we will see.

eardun Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I have no issue with that line up. I wanted more in midfield and Wells starting. Presumably Nagy is injured (or ill) so Massengo is logical replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City oz Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Septic Peg said: Morning folks... and a happy 125th anniversary to the club! We all have our own personal memories attached to City - whether it attending with a parent as a kid, meeting a partner, creating friendships and making lifelong memories. I've said without the club, I actually wouldn't even be here as my parents met in the old Supporters Club in the Williams stand back in the day. My late dad only ever came to two games with me, a southern area league trophy win over Torquay and the LDV final win over Carlisle. Two games that even now, I remember very clearly and I won't forget. The club has also made a video about other people's experiences with City. It's about 25 minutes long so grab yourself a cuppa. Also, for a bit of fun, the club asked on social media for some of our choice moments. So if anyone wants to play along, here is what City wanted to know... Ahead of Saturday's 125th anniversary match tell us your: First match: _________ Favourite game: _________ Favourite all-time player: _________ Favourite season: _________ Best goal: _________ Biggest limbs: _________ #BristolCity Here's the twitter link so you can see what everyone else has put... just click on it and view the replies, you don't need to be logged into twitter. So, without mentioning today's kit, it's a momentous occasion. I only hope that the 8 men that saved this club are mentioned too. Without them, I wouldn't be typing this. On to today... Fulham at home. We've been a bit of a bogey team for them in recent times. In fact you have to go back 3 years to find the last time Fulham beat us. In the last 7 games, we've beat them 5 times, drawn once and lost once. Our home form is still shocking and Fulham have been on the up (apart from a 3-0 loss at home to Barnsley) so I'm expecting a pasting. 3-1 Fulham. Bristol's own Joey Bryan is out with a baddy leg so no run out for him but Bristol's own Bobby (De Cordova) Reid is expected to play for Fulham. Come home Bob. We love you. Enjoy the day folks. COYRs! First match - I was 8 years old so it would of been 1970 and my grandad used to take me in the East End. Favourite Game - There are several, Freight rover finals, , Coventry away to stay up in the 1st division, Arsenal away first away match in the 1st division, Favourite all time player - several but the top 4 for me are, Norman Hunter, Paul Cheesley, Tom Ritchie, Gerry Gow, Favourite season 1976/77. Biggest Limbs - Trevor Taintons thigh mussels, they were bloody huge. COYR today and I hope you attending have a fantastic day and a City win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea why he has picked that team, particularly in terms of fitness. Nothing very controversial about it if you ask me (though admittedly you didn’t).

Presumably Nagy is injured (or ill) so Massengo is logical replacement. Massengo should be full of energy on the basis that he’s not had many minutes recently. Fam being dropped is interesting but at least now, we won’t be limping it up front as we have been doing lately....I hope!!

italian dave Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Pure guess, but Nagy’s absence must be about his ankle. He’s done OK last two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Weimann is probably wide in a 451, but part of me hoping it's 442 and a real intent to go and press Fulham which you can't do so well with Famara upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 It’s a bold move by Johnson. He’s trying to ‘out football’ Fulham, which would be great if it wasn’t the first time we’d tried such a tactic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Not starting your top scorer seems strange, maybe he will wait till they score a few first, Fams tracking back and defending at dead ball kicks will be missed imo; thought a draw today but now we will be lucky to get anything. Still lucky Lee`s luck could still be running.......who nows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
