On the official site: Head coach could alter his starting XI tomorrow. Lee Johnson has hinted he could change his team for City’s visit to Nottingham Forest tomorrow (3pm) – the club’s third match in an eight-day spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks. Therefore likely to replace Kodjia ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I thought Agard might've started v BHA....but I think it would've been a difficult decision after Jimmy's brace v MKD. Wouldnt surprise me today though, having said that, we have a week before Cardiff, so opportunity to let Jimmy have a blast for 60-65, then unleash Agard. Wonder if Agard's missed penalty and his demands to take it may influence LJ's decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yes; you would think less not more likely to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 While the pen was irrelevant in terms of the game, and so the miss was too. The fact that he went against orders makes that same miss more meaningful, specially with a new coach at the club . LJ didn't seem best pleased so I'd be a little surprised if he started, even though JK could maybe do with a rest . I'm hoping for Baker and either Little or Ayling to be fit after ZV's chasing Tuesday. I think he will be good, but sitting out a game or two will do him no harm.

I'd see this as a guess on Sky's part. It is certain that Vyner won't start so either Little or Aylng will. If Baker is fit he'll be back too (though my guess is sadly not). Any further change would be more likely to see Wilbraham come in rather than Agard, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 No problem him starting, though hope he never takes a penalty for us ever again; missed his last two (Yeovil last season and Brighton), and for me that is him out of the running for them for good. Still; been playing well in his cameos, and the fact he won it in the first place was good work - just had it to Tomlin next time, Kieran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantees whoever takes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went it, so while it might sound dismissive to say; who cares? Tomlin's kick might have been crap, but in a pressure game, it got us three points. Agard might have been only going for a consultation, but he fluffed it; he should certainly not be taking any more spot kicks any time soon. Agard has now twice stepped up and failed to find the net for us, as has Pack once, and while he might not win points for style, Tomlin has scored two (one for us, one for Bournemouth) since the turn of the year, so it should be his responsibility until he misses.

Fair enough, although I'd say they both fluffed their penalty but Tomlin got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough, although his had the saving grace of actually being on target - which always gives you a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state we're in; we need all the luck we can get. And while I don't disagree, I do think penalties are a skill, and more often a mental one than technical one, and as much as I do like Agard, I think he lacks the composure for spot kicks, while Tomlin's self confidence is such i have zero doubt he'll score each time he goes up for one, just like JET. If it came down to a last min pen to win today, I know who I'd rather have taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day; I'd have O'Donnell taking them if he had a good record on then - it's all about the results until we're safe. Thankfully Tuesday's nightmare and that miss haven't tripped us up on that quest, but I do hope if we get another pen this season that whoever takes it slams it home - never good for moral to miss them, unlucky or not.
