brad blit Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Heres my guesss...... its just based on a funny feeling, nothing more. I wonder if Keef will look into this formation at some point incase Maynard does leave. -----------------------------James------------------------- McAllister-----Nyatanga------Stewart---------Carey --------------------Elliott-------------Skuse-------------- Bolaise---------------------JCR----------------Adomah -----------------------------Stead---------------------------- Maynard will be on the bench, this is obviously bearing in mind that Pitman and Kilkenny are out, Cisse dosnt seem to be in Millens plans currently (returned overweight after hols and disappointing midweek). The other burning question is will Hunt be on the bench...... im going with Yes, due to injuires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 nope we will play our stongest squad using 4-4-2 the formation Millen has used in every friendly James Macca Nyayranga Fontaine Carey JCR Skuse Elliot Adomah Maynard Stead With Stewert Taylor Carey Johnson Cisse on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think it'll be James Carey-Wilson-Fonts-Macca Albert-Marv-Skuse-Woolford Stead-Maynard Perhaps JCR rather than Woolford, but he played well against Bath the other day by all accounts, as did Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think whether Fontaine features at all will be the most interesting point, if he doesn't, then realistically FGR next Tuesday is a must for him if he is to have any chance at all of facing Ipswich. Otherwise with Kilkenny sidelined, the only issue (assuming LF doesn't make it) would be which 2 out of Stewart, Nyatanga and Wilson start, if Fontaine does play then it's one from those three. Despite Hunt's encouraging display at Bath I doubt he'll feature and based on that game I wouldn't expect Bolasie or Taylor to start . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 James Carey Stewart Nyatanga McAllister Adomah Campbell-Ryce Elliott Skuse Stead Maynard I hope your right...... its just a funny feeling with my 4-5-1 suggestion. Also why is everyone suggesting Fonts? I thought he was still out injured?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was still out injured?? Well he's not mentioned in the last injury update http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~2397042,00.html so i'm presuming he's fit. As the squad stands (with everyone fit) i think Fonts and Wilson is probably our best pairing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcliffe 78 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I would like to see Fontaine & Wilson as our CB when they are both fit fingers crossed, imo Millen says we need a CB & a LB, maybe he has tried Fonts & Wilson in training and it didn't work but i think it could work, time will tell. McAllister always give 100%, and he is still a good mid table championship LB imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunton_City Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Same team as Cheltenham! Maynard and stead start upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Marsh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Should really be playing Hunt ahead of Carey after his last performance. The only way Hunt can get any kind of form is if we play him, it'd be far better to play him than a player who shouldn't have even been offered an extension.

Maynard and stead start upfront I presume this is because he's decided it was zonal marking rather than individual ineptitude that caused the recent defensive frailties. I think its a fair line up, but would rather see Fontaine and Wilson as centre-halves. Maybe two different central pairings, one in each half?

Most sense i've heard on here in a long while. I think its a very drastic time for city if people see louis as a player who will take us forward this season.

I think its a fair line up, but would rather see Fontaine and Wilson as centre-halves. Maybe two different central pairings, one in each half? I guess Fontaine's complete lack of match fitness (his last game was back in March) is the reason why he's on the bench, with Wilson presumably not starting because he's had a week out before the Bath game. The full backs seem certs if no new defenders come in, but time is running out on deciding the best CB pairing, though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hope Fonts is fit for start of the season. Him and Wilson would be a good partnership imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as far as I see it is if Nicky Hunt isn't going to be given the chance to play himself into form then he is as useful as what Carey is to us in going forward.

Sydneybcfc Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 City: James; Carey, Stewart, Nyatanga, McAllister; Campbell-Ryce, Skuse, Elliott, Adomah; Maynard, Stead. Subs: Carey (gk), Fontaine, Wilson, Woolford, Reid, Bolasie, Clarkson. From OS I guess the only real surprise is the omission of Cisse even from the bench as he isn't listed as injured.

Donald Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Long time since I've done Yeovil, thinking maybe going, but can't remember how long it realistically takes. Google maps say, around a hour, but I swear it's longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton1 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 About an hour from south bristol , get on the A37 (wells road) and keep going ! Watch out for holiday makers and keep clear of M5 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apathy Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 So Nicky Hunt has all of a sudden become more important than Louis Carey for Bristol City?. I believe its an acute case of happy clapper syndrome. Please beware it is catching. I myself drove past Mr Hunt at end of last season and thought something along the lines of 'berk' (great old school word please use it today). Then Ive read about his attitude at training, asking for dvds of his performances and his performance at Bath(both playing and mentally, appeared happier). And anyway Im going to give him another go. Everyone deserves a second chance. I would go all Kevin Keegan (love it just love it) if he played his way back into the team and became our unlikely defensive saviour! Who doesnt love a disney style happy ending? Mr Hunt I believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 It's looking to me, as I've always suspected, that for whatever reason the 3 Coppell signings Cisse,Hunt and Stewart have faces that don't fit. Every one was dropped regularly last season. Is it a Millen thing? (Don't forget that every previous signing was effectively Millen's through the Johnson era). Is it the board? Were these all brought in on high salaries during the euphoria of Coppell's short stay? Stewart starts today but that's about injuries and lack of signings.... you know he won't start the season. I don't understand how a business can just discard employees in this way. Do other clubs do it? On side note, most clubs at our level are looking to fill up their squads not looking to off load - are we poorly run by comparison? in my opinion these 3 players can enhance our first team but as it stands we're weaker than last year having lost Spence and Caulker the only genuine first teamer to have been brought in is (injured) Kilkenny whilst fading old favourites and unconvincing players such as Carey McAllister Nyatanga Gerken Johnson Skuse Jackson are no nearer the exit door and remain first team contenders. Gotta feeling this will be a long hard season - again and I really fear for Millen if people expect more than a struggle. I guess it would be asking too much of our local media to grill Keith on why players are overlooked? Rant over COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
