Martyn Hocking Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Can't see one yet, so here we go. Last time I started the match thread was the home game V Cardiff and we lost 6-0, but hey, ho, I'm not superstitious so thought I might as well set the ball rolling. Don't hold out much hope today, but the longer we can keep a clean sheet the more chance we have of springing a surprise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroudy Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 starting line up. James; Carey, Caulker, Fonts, Macca; Adomah, Skuse, Marv, Rose; Haynes, Stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Bristol-City_ Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'm very disapointed with the line up, gl tho, COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Looks like Bellamy/Whitingham/Burke are going to have a field day today then.... BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Does any body know if Bellamy is playing ? The way that team is set up it would appear to me that Carey is marking the little welshman That can't be right surely, am I missing something ? - I hope I am otherwise lets just say Carey's lack of pace may be exposed.

But given they are 2nd and we are rock bottom, that's kinda like stating I think Brazil are better than Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hicksy-BCFC Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Whittingham vs Carey and Burke vs McAllister are two massively important battles on the wings today... can't see us winning either.... Worryingly, Chopra and Bothroyd take it in turns to drift out to the right as well. Given the absolute nailing Norwich gave McAllister at AG, I have grave concerns for the gaps down our left side as a result. I will love to be proved wrong and hope I am.

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 City: James, Carey, Fontaine, Caulker, McAllister, Albert, Skuse, Elliott, Rose, Haynes, Stead Looks like stock 4-4-2 with Carey at RB Still no creativity in midfield Carey is pedestrian these days and will be far more exposed on the flank than in the middle. Good news that Bellamy's out ( rested for Coventry game?) but if Cardiff's front four click it won't make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Rose has been told to cover McAllister at all times, and to attack only on the counter.. although I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnozRobin Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Let's hope Albert and Rose are actually played out wide - that may actually help restrict the threat of Whittingham and Burke. Good to see Haynes back but still no creativity in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would have done. Have him playing just in front of Skuse/Marvin to link the play to the wingers and the lone striker. IMO the formation we are playing today is suicidal.

I hate playing with one man up front Tom. It shows absolutely no confidence in the midfield and no intention to try and win the game. 4-4-2 is better for me with wingers but we seriously need better people as full backs.

Worked a treat away at Reading two seasons ago. We packed the midfield and had Adebola throwing himself around up front, a job Stead could probably have done well today. At least playing 4-5-1 we would have a slight chance of nicking a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out to win is more suicidal than trying to stop them! I hope I'm proved wrong Nobody expects us to get anything from Cardiff away. Therefore why not have a go? Their record against us, until recently was always poor, their record against bottom teams is poor and according to a Cardiff mate I work with, they've been far from excellent in recent wins. I'd rather we played 4-4-2 and had a bit of pace about us. If we play one up front, and just play for a point we'll face 90 mins of their attacks and with the greatest respect to any defence, Chopra or Bothroyd will convert one of them if Whittingham doesn't!

miketh2nd Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Really don't like the look of Carey at right back he will get beaten a lot at least Ribs has pace to try and catch up once Carey is beat that is pretty much it as much as I like Carey. Cardiff will have it easy all they have to do is mark Adomah and Rose. But if they can get the better of their defenders and stead is always in the box you never know lets hope we catch Cardiff unaware(can hope).
