Scrumpy_247 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think there could be a couple of changes due to tired legs so this is how I think we will like up.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Heaton Moloney Fonts Tanga Cunningham Kelly Skuse Elliott Anderson Stead Baldock Gerken Bates Carey Pearson Albert Howard Davies Stead and Davies are very similar players who come deep to get the ball, I started stead as he gives more effort and hassles there defence, leaving davies to come on when Stead can't run anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 If there is a change it'll be one, and that's bringing Davies in.. Who for I'm not sure, maybe Skuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The back 4 will remain unchanged for sure. Skuse and Elliot will both start as will Anderson and Kelly.The only question is whether S'oD will go back to two up top. Boro aren't as strong in midfield as Brighton so I reckon he'll play Stead and Davies who looked to have formed an understanding of each others game. Heaton. Cunningham, Fontaine, Nyatanga, Moloney. Anderson, Skuse, Elliot, Kelly. Stead, Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 If there is a change it'll be one, and that's bringing Davies in.. Who for I'm not sure, maybe Skuse? C'mon Tom. Skuse will start. He is City's 'most creative midfielder' after all. It'll be Pearson who steps down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaner89 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I would love to see us 4-4-2 today as I think we can get a good result. I do think we will play the same team as recent games, however wouldn't mind seeing; ----------------------------------------Heaton---------------------------------------- ---Moloney---------Fontaine----------------Nyatanga--------Cunningham--- ---Adomah/Anderson------Kelly----------Skuse------Adomah/Anderson--- ----------------------Baldock----------------Stead--------------------------------- HOWEVER - Like I said, I think we will be seeing the same team as of late as it has been working well.

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 C'mon Tom. Skuse will start. He is City's 'most creative midfielder' after all. It'll be Pearson who steps down. He may or may not. He's not an automatic first choice any more, or indispensable by any means as City's displays without him showed. Almost everyone agrees Kelly and Elliott were more impressive against Brighton. Pearson has been providing excellent crosses recently leading directly to goals so shouldn't be dismissed from the team lightly. If City go 2 up front there must be a good chance Skuse will be the one to be benched, the excellent consistent form of both Kelly and Marvin making them key players who are very unlikely to be rested unless carrying an injury.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'd just swap Pearson for Albert to add a bit more flair. The team does lack pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Hart Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 i say stick with stead and Davies. Boro where vunerable in set plays on tuesday and baldock can't make the most of that. could be a similar score to barnsley if everyone does there job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 If fit Skuse will start I didn't know that. I see you've dropped Marvin from your preferred team as well - what's the thinking there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think it will be .........................................Heaton........................................... Maloney..........Nyatanga...............Fontaine........Cunningham Kelly................Skuse....................Elliot...............Anderson ..............................Stead...............Davies/Baldock................. Emphasis on shape again with Kelly on the right. Adomah to come on around 75mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I didn't know that. I see you've dropped Marvin from your preferred team as well - what's the thinking there? In a 3 we can afford to have either Kilkenny or Howard.....which provides more creativity with the ball on the floor for Baldock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 We've seen that So'D doesn't like to swap the team around unless forced to by injury or suspension. He made one tactical change on Tuesday ( Skuse for Davies) and I'm sure he'll make only one tactical change today. Pearson for Davies. Unlike McInnes its fairly easy to predict what side O'Driscoll will select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree with that, With McInnes you put are 11 worst players at the time into a tombola and hope you get the positions right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping his Captain, who's in storming, inspirational form would be an extraordinary aberration from SO'D. There's no necessity to include Baldock.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 With McManus and Woodgate as the likely cb pair, Baldock could tear em apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no necessity to include Baldock. I agree about Baldock and as I believe we can only get one of him or Davies in the team, for me it would be Davies every time. I love Marv and he has been excellent recently, but I wouldn't be suprised if he needs a rest after two all action performances in a week on heavy pitches. (Not that I'm suggesting our pitch is close to as bad as Blackpool's!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 C'mon Tom. Skuse will start. He is City's 'most creative midfielder' after all. It'll be Pearson who steps down. More that he's only just returned from injury and maybe two games in a week is a tough ask. He seems the more logical one for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Trouble is McInness tombola set didn't include a #16 ball. It did however have 15 #4 balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not that I'm suggesting our pitch is close to as bad as Blackpool's!) Fair point, but surprisingly it seems to me Marv. is getting stronger the more he plays.There seems no sign of him either needing or wanting a breather. He's playing at a level recently I thought we'd never see again and I'm sure SO'D would only take such an influential player out of the firing line if he thought it absolutely necessary. I'd certainly play Davies ahead of Baldock, a dynamic player who's just as likely to score, and more to his all round game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
