It's an attacking line up, but then attacking and scoring is not our problem, we are on eof the top scoring sides in the division, yet we are one of the worst sides in the league at the back. Bentley - poor last week Pereira - injured Kalas - part of the shit show of a defence Rowe - anyone going to criticise him for picking Dasilva over Rowe? Eliasson - depending on formation may not fit, 442 defensively weak in front of hunt, 433 wanting the 3 strikers on the pitch perhaps Pato - Again could be tactical shape but does drift in and out of games Diedhiou - Different type of striker wanted this week perhaps, Weimann, Wells, Afobe indicate we may not be knocking it long unless its down channels to chase So not really at random I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 If I was an away supporter and I saw Afobe and Wells lining up against my team I would be seriously worried. Shame we don’t create **** all for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, nothing would surprise us. Wells likes to drift, come deep and get involved with play. I wouldn't be surprised if Afobe plays a high forward with Weimann and Wells slightly deeper allowed to drift and get involved with play, both good and making forward runs off the ball as well so coming from deeper could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s face it the coach picked them set them up and told them what he wanted. If LJ had been ‘dropped‘ after that he could have had few complaints by the same token.

Numero Uno Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Clearly changes had to be made after last week. Had he picked the same side this place would be in meltdown. My gripe is that the most inconsistent player we have, O’Dowda, is a “trusted” player yet our most creative player Elliason is stuck on the bench contemplating where he will be moving to next season!! You also have to question how, after 38 league matches, we are needing to make SEVEN changes to arrive at his trusted XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd also be correct if you said that the manager has dropped HIS signings which are Bristol City record signing fees for: Goalkeeper - Bentley Defender - Kalas Striker - Fammy. Quite an achievement, even by Johnson's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other managers would make 7 un-inforced changes at this point in season?? None, especially after a mini pre-season, just shows how effing wrong he got it last week. 18 minutes ago, glen humphries said: Cod needs a big performance today after keeping his place after last week.

Makes changes, people moan. I think people just like moaning Exactly this. Last week was so poor he had to change it and everyone was rightly critical of the team selection.

Baldyman Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Concerned where the creativity will come from for all those attackers . Pato , Eliason and Palmer are our creators and none start .

General Zod Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Midfield looks embarrassingly light. We can have the greatest attackers in the division on that pitch but if the midfield is over run we will be in trouble unless the strikers take all of their limited chances. 3-0 city COYR!

YGBjammy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 If it's a 442 then why wouldn't you play Eliasson? (Guess he "can't be trusted" ) Intrigued to see if it's 442, 4312 or something else mad. Main positive for me is finally Wells and Afobe are starting together!
