I think we all know what to expect from the lads today as always :  a high press, attacking mentality where we dominate possession in midfield, create loads of chances, tons of shots on target and don't get caught out from long balls on their counter attacks.

If only Carlsberg did City games...

Strange how people are being so negative about Diedhiou.  Only three or four matches ago he was, according to many posters, undroppable.  A couple of quiet games and he’s written off as ‘going through the motions”.  That’s certainly not what I saw at Sheffield when he was being asked to track back whenever United went forward, leaving Wells on his own up front.  He may not always play well, but I have never felt that he gives less than 100% for us.

Agree always given 100%...sadly on too many occasions simply not good enough. Far to many games when nothing other than average at best. Shame a deal was not done with him in window. If he’s on the pitch support him, hope for one of his ‘better’ days..

With Thunberg in charge we'd be in even greta danger and the climate is not right for this appointment.

Not convinced weather she'd be any good.

Not sure the players would warm to her either.

Well done Dean. Take a job you are incapable of doing and pocket a great big salary increase. The selflessness of some people.

Warms the cockles of your heart doesn't it? An example to us all.

The inexperience of Moore & Towler down our left although I thought Towler covered well on Wednesday . 
nagy for massengo for me . Watford 2-0 

If I’m being honest, as per other posts yesterday, I’d prefer Kalas LCB, and Moore CCB....that would give Towler more experienced support too....just think Holden will play Moore at LCB.

If in 10 minutes I see Fam and Wells in the same starting 11 then Holden out!

Ha... hapless Holden out anyway - whatever side he picks.

What if one is CB and the other on his own up top?

Then sack him before kick off!

What if he plays Semenyo up front, O'Dowda on the left and cannons Tommy Rowe into the sea? What then, Jon?

[bearded_red]

Joe Williams not in the squad..

[Ivorguy]

Guess that is last we shall see of Williams this season.  Minor knock?  Not even on the bench.

[robin_unreliant]

Fam to have another rest today then.

Holden clearly does not rate Nagy or Palmer!

They’re in the squad...

Yeah.

I’m so tired of this I can’t even be bothered to analyse the starting line up. 

[Finley_Smith10]

God knows what’s up with Williams then

Don’t think patient’s comes into the equation any more , most fans are well beyond that ,just feel for many the bar’s been set at an all time low with the going’s on at the gate.

The "all time low" of being in the top half of the championship..? 

I think some people either have very short memories or are just spoilt brats..! 

[Prinny]

I dunno, that midfield feels so weak to me.

Good to see Wells dropped.

I'm a Fammy fan normally but not been impressed recently, and if he's not signing he's got nothing to do with our future

He can be good but certainly not so great that he's somehow indispensable.

We've got plenty of other options champing at the bit to play up front so I'd be leaving him out of the starting 11 now if I were DH.

If there's a concern about losing his physical presence in both boxes, give young Britton a go - he seems a real battler.

 

im with you on this, if you have not got Bristol city in your heart then jog on

I quite like it as a central 3.

As long as Massengo has one of his useful games and not his lightweight waste of space ones. 

We always look better with Pato on the pitch, as long as he's fully up to speed. 

[steviestevieneville]

Just now, JonDolman said:

I just can't work out that decision. He looked so unaware in that role last time

There was a press article where he said when at forest he didn’t like playing there

[ashton_fan]

Good to see Massengo starting, he deserves it

[GlastonburyRed]

I fear we might be a bit lightweight, time will tell, however,
