ExiledAjax Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 4 at the back is what many have been asking for. Hopefully a change is as good as a rest. Lots of legs in that team with Weimann, HNM, COD and Scott. Should be able to run for days today. I do like a bit of 4, 4 f'ing 2 as well. Forza City. 1 Quote Link to comment
Redrascal2 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 What a thin squad we have when injuries happen. And weaknesses of certain players have not improved under Nige. We will need a miracle to get anything out of this. Quote Link to comment
richyy66 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 We look to be following last seasons pattern. Injured players, lots of youngsters in the squad and a drop in form.....DeJa vu..... COYR Quote Link to comment
Ivorguy Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I support NP but really cannot understand why Martin is playing. Living off past reputation I fear, nothing left in the tank - and we do have some promising youngsters. However, other sides, even top sides, would not describe some of our 20+ youngsters thus why not being picked. 2 Quote Link to comment

Barely plays, when he does he does nothing or declares himself injured. Want a new contract mate because literally no other club wants you in their side? Go on then. I’d like to think I’ve cursed myself and he’ll now run the show today, but it won’t happen I’m actually ok, think we do need energy….up to him to prove a point. Quote Link to comment

It is a concern, through it depends whether they are contact or muscular injuries. Probably a good idea not to post any more videos on the OS about how great our fitness regime is for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fordy62 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think the only solace in this is that I bet Nige is itching to get rid of half of these players. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red_Alligator Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Let's hope we're pleasantly surprised with today's performance and result, even though I think most folk are not too hopeful. COYR!! Quote Link to comment

Dolman Block B Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Vyner is 4th choice centre back and in poor form Simpson is behind him Losing Atkinson and Baker is just suicide. Bakinson can’t tackle Martin too slow It’s a poor side Expect the worst 2 Quote Link to comment

Davefevs Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 It’s not our strongest eleven by any stretch, but I’m glad he hasn’t risked James and Williams, especially with a 2 week gap coming up. 10 Quote Link to comment
Lack of Action Man Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I’m beginning to think Chris Martin must have some sort of bizarre “must start” clause in his contract. Quote Link to comment
Hampshire reds Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Fingers crossed for a city win. not sure this team is good enough to beat Coventry. i have a nasty feeling the fans will turn on the manager and the team. please but in a performance for 3k city fans at the ground Quote Link to comment

I can't see it being as bad as last season but we can't get any more and we need players to return. Semenyo, Conway and Williams all back training….today too soon….Nige said the two senior ones of the three will be back. Quote Link to comment
RedNachos Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Atkinson not starting is a joke, our best of admittedly a shit group of players in recent weeks for me Quote Link to comment

I can't see it being as bad as last season but we can't get any more and we need players to return. I think Pearson said Semenyo and maybe Williams should be back after the international break. King is out long term after surgery. Baker has always been made of glass, Conway and Cundy aren't really 1st team yet. I'm not sure what James' status is, and I guess we'll hear from Pearson pre-match re Atkinson. It's nowhere near as bad as last season imo, although obviously we want them all fit ASAP.

Dan Robin Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Agree with the choice of not playing all the strikers together and having Palmer back is good...but we look quite weak after the increase of injuries, so... I'd be very happy with a point today. Quote Link to comment

Some of the changes are down to injuries of course but Nige did say after the Brum loss that he wasn’t happy with the performance particularly the second 45. I wasn’t expecting quite to many tho.

He's been playing like a conked-out engine. Needs a set of jump leads to get him started. The old boys on here will be familiar with "Running-in, please pass" 2 Quote Link to comment
