Red Army 75 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 8pm kick off on Tuesday. Sold out away end . Expecting changes after a NPs comments . So DB DS. TK. RA. JD HNM MJ AK AW COD NW Something like that maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Seems highly unlikely that Vyner or Palmer will start, whether it is Simpson at RB or Kalas remains to be seen. Lots of logic to the side named above, but hard to escape the feeling we are shuffling a lot of similar standard players in search of the right blend. What I would say is that for me Kalas is by a distance our best centre back, so the 2 picked so far should be competing to partner him, not be paired in his place. For as long as TK is with us, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 After working on 4231 all pre season I’d be amazed to see him scrap that after 2 games. Bents Simpson. Kalas. Atkinson. JD James. HNM Weimann. King. COD Wells Lets not burn out Scott just yet, and King has been directly involved in both league goals so needs to stay in team. If COD isn’t fit I expect to see Bell or Janneh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waconda Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 He will change formation -IMO. Bentley Kalas Atkinson Baker HNM DaSilva Bakinson James Weimann Martin Wells For example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan and Cemetery Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Assuming NP wants to retain 4-2-3-1 and based on his comments re form to keep the shirt, then think those under most pressure from yesterday are Vyner, Weimann and Palmer. Martin not great, but not much to work with. Kalas and O’Dowda if fit, for Vyner and Palmer. Maybe Weimann hangs on whilst Semenyo not fit. Would also bring in Wells for Martin to see if makes it easier for Scott/King/James to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Well given NPs comments about having to work hard and play well to keep the shirt, he will lose creditability if he picks Vyner, Weimann or Palmer to start again. We shall see, hope he means what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’d go with the following. Don’t mind which of Baker or Atkinson plays as long as Kalas plays right side. Need Wells to start. I’d like to see Bakinson in the more attacking midfield role - he is always looking to play forward, his height is useful, he can make forward runs and he has a goal in him. If COD is not fit I would play Scott on the left. Bentley Simpson Kalas Baker/Atkinson Dasilva James King Weimann Bakinson O’Dowda Wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hang on, if you're picking a starting eleven you're going to have to decide on whether it's Baker or Atkinson that starts. I like Bakinson, and when tuned in, he is a good attacking force. Not sure Nige trusts him though. I think we'll be in for a torid time Tuesday.

I don’t think he was as involved Saturday so why not give the lad a rest and give others a try to play for a starting spot - that’s what having a competitive squad is all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think we need Massengos energy in the team, we also desperately need to find some pace from somewhere. No idea where. This has to be one of the slowest, most lethargic City sides in years. We are so easy to defend against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Pearson has (hopefully) thought long and hard about the best formation for this squad. If he rips it up after 2 league games that’s quite depressing. Almost impossible to guess his Tuesday team as we don’t know his views on performers yesterday. Would expect Weimann to start though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakinson plays some good balls going forward, but drifts around the pitch too much with little urgency. I can’t see him being Nige’s type of player.

Alas, maybe not Well - ‘why the hell not’ is because it totally changes the personnel and plays most out of position. I do think we need a few changes though, however round pegs in round holes where possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If COD isn’t fit I expect to see Bell or Janneh Nor me BB. I like that a lot. A lot will depend on James and King being ok to go again. I’d rather play my best team Tuesday than worry about Friday. Might need to be careful with Dasilva, but players are gonna need to play 2 games in 4 days / 3 days fairly regularly this season. Doubt it will be a million miles from that.

wayne allisons tongues Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Bentley Simpson Kalas Baker Desilva Nagy James King/HNM Weimann Wells Janneh Drop Vyner just not champ standard been saying it for years and Atkinson just isn’t ready I believe great with the ball but isn’t great defending, which is a CB job. Some pace and movement up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
