citywest30 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Can't see El Abd starting. Surely he was only on the bench as there was no other option. Still think he'll leave before the end of the window and we'll have a new CB in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Why are people changing things around? We need to stick with starting lineup where possible from Saturday as they need to continue gaining match sharpness and team cohesion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyed Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 By the sounds of it, Agard won't be fit to start for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 The left back position is dependent on whether Bryan is likely to be fit for Saturday. If not then we need to go with the wing backs who'll play then. If he will be then I'd have Fredericks back to RWB and maybe give Ives a go if he's with the 1st team squad. Other than that, Robinson for Freeman, Agard for Wilbs and maybe a young un in for Pack or Smith. Kodjia needs games and he needs the core of the team around him so they can gel To be honest, injuries aside I suspect it'll be very close to the team that started the 2nd half against Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Luton are one of the favourites for the League 2 title. Anyone expecting an easy ride tonight will be disappointed. This won't be an easy game and chucking in a new formation and lots of new players will backfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray White Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Surely Cotts is going to name the same side with the excepiton of Joe Bryan. I think he will shift Fredericks to LWB and play Little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Put a strong side out. Get a decent win ( will be a hard game ) Build our confidence from the loss at the weekend Onwards and upwards for Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 You'd think if cotterill was tempted to tinker with the formation this would game could be perfect. If we can't get a replacement for Bryan and he's out for a while we may well go 4-2-3-1 (not as messy as it sounds) or could go for 4-4-2. I'd like to see this :- Fielding Fredricks ayling flint Williams Pack Smith Kodjia/burns Freeman Robinson Wilbs I'd be suprused to see cotts chsbge formation he may just just Lloyd Kelly on for Bryan or is he rwb ?

Robin 101 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Obviously 3-5-2 is our primary formation and after how well it has worked so far it should remain so. However, it can be handy to have a plan B and id like to see Fielding Fredericks Ayling Flint Williams Smith Pack Freeman Burns Kodjia Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't think now's the time to change formation or to shuffle the squad. We need to get into a routine of playing in the system we're used to. If we're struggling in a few weeks then it may be time to use Plan B but for now we've got to be patient and give things a chance to work. Chopping and changing too early in the season can unsettle things and basically bin the entire pre-season work. So basically I'd bring in, Little (if fit) or Burns for Bryan, maybe rest Wilbraham for Robinson if he's not likely to be up to two games a week and otherwise be unchanged.

Garland-sweden Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Good for the confidese with a win. Think we will have the strongest team. Cott Always wants to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 For me either stick to 3-5-2 and Ives comes in for Bryan or go 4-3-3 with Williams moving to left back and Kodjia and Robinson playing off Wilbs upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think SC will understand the importance of confidence ahead of Brentford on Saturday, and expect him to name a pretty much full strength XI. He will want to win to get extra games to help the squad gel, even if the squad is thin. We don't have the JPT this season to keep fringe players in the frame. If Hamer does come in today (and is eligible - not sure of rules), I'd still pick FF...would be a kick in the teeth and could undermine the togetherness of thus bunch. Would like to see ML back, but not convinced he's ready from SC comments...although could be mind games. What was RF like at LWB? (Those who went to Hillsborough) Would stick with AW and JK up front and hope they start to forge a partnership. Expecting a tough night, but scrape through.

Dolman Original Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Very tough game tonight in a competition that we rarely get past the first round. Think SC will go with the team that finished Saturday with maybe the exception of Wilbraham. Let's hope we don't get the Southend scenario - lose and the manager gone next day!

Robinson Agard Kodjia Wont please everyone, but it will give a run out to those who need it and should be a strong enough team to nick a winIt would be an interesting team, but I think we'd probably lose! I want to see the same 11 as sat really as they need game time - only issue is who would replace Bryan, does SC have enough faith in Burns as a wb to give him a full 90? He certainly deserves another go. Alternatively, I would like to see us experiment and try Fielding (if Hamer not registered in time etc) Fredricks, Flint, Ayling, Williams (flat back 4) Smith, Pack (CDM/CM) Agard RW (unsure if he's fit enough to start yet) Freeman CAM, Robinson (LW) Kodjia on his own up top. I would like to see that as it's not too dissimilar from Saturday but tries out another dimension, should be strong enough to win too. Only concern for me is left back naturally.

Big C Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 We have Brentford and Leeds coming up, no way will he put out his strongest team, expect to see El-Abd, Robinson, Burns all to start and if fitness allows Agard, Little and Wagstaff as well. You just need to look at the team for the game against Oxford last year to see where the League Cup rates on his radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Those people including Ives seem to be neglecting the fact he can't even get in the U21 side yet. He won't be in the squad let alone the starting XI, El-Abd has more chance of starting than him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they need to be comfortable with how we play or there is no point in giving them game time anyway. Because we haven't got a plan B at the moment and are not sure if we can play 4-4-2 so this game would give us the ideal opportunity to try something new. We kept getting caught out down both flanks on Saturday and the 3-5-2 didn't seem to be working so maybe we may need to change things round in certain games this season so lets try it tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
