Not far off it imo. Likes to rotate the wide men so O'Dowda in for Freeman. Paterson cant play so Reid comes in and Smith is just back from injury so 3 games in 7 days is a bit much hence Pack. Where would you disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d rather he was fully fit for Barnsley rather than risk him on Tuesday if he`s not. If he doesn`t make it then Josh Brownhill I would think.

Fiale Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 We should be putting out our best team possible, I can understand putting out weaker teams against opposition against lower league teams, but surely we want to make a go of this ? As others have mentioned we don't have lot's of games coming up - just 3 in the whole of November, so plenty of time for players to "rest up" I also see no need to rest Korey and Matthews, they need games to get match fit. I would like us to really try to get through to the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I would hope ROD is given a go but apart from that I would keep the same. Not so much for the chance to progress but more that we have suddenly stopped clicking for 3 games like we were prior to the international break and wholesale changes is not the way to solve that - game time for your first choice XI and work through the lean patch is the way forward. If we lose 2-1 but start firing again then I would take that personally as there is points available in the next few games despite the tough opposition if we are on it again !!

I'd also be looking to give O Neil, Abraham and Flint a rest. Finally I'd play Little at RB as our cotton-wooling of him and Matthews continues. Don't fancy getting through then??!

Up The City! Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I will be fumming if we rest players!! When was the last time Bristol City had the chance to reach the quarter finals of this competition? We are potentially 3 games away from the final and people want to rest players??? FFS!!

It's ridiculous that several times throughout the season we have back to back home games Saturday/Tuesday and yet we don't have a home game from the first week of November until December, international break or no international break.

JoeAman08 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 ROD Little Flint Hordor Joe Brownhill Pack Reid COD Tomlin Wilbraham I want to win but we still have a good squad even if they aren't favoured most league games. Korey needs a rest, Matthews is in a similar position. So Little comes in and that back 4 has played most of the season. With Korey missing and GON needing a rest bring in Pack who will be needed with their large midfielders. No Pato so play Brownhill on the right. He seems adept at beating people and trying to get crosses in. COD and ROD both need a start and COD looks more comfortable on the left. Hopefully Reid fit and TA needs a rest for at least 60 minutes. Not sure if Gustav is ready yet. Looking at it now though, seems a bit too many changes. Maybe we will rotate for Barnsley instead but I imagine LJ will want to be ready for that one as well. It's a dilemma. Hull will show up Tuesday though. It won't be easy to win and I'm not as confident now as when the draw came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're generally being a bit too rose tinted glasses there fella. They're both important games because we are a win away from the QF. The simple answer is we play the strongest team we can in both games, taking into account the condition of the players on the day of the game. Don't rest anyone or make changes for the sake of it. No midweek game next week and only three games in November - that's the opportunity for rest. Just cannot get my head around the mentality of some towards cup games these days. It's almost as if the prospect of Arsenal at home in the next round in front of 27,000 at the new Ashton Gate doesn't appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Does anyone really know our best 11 ? Keeper ? Lucic played at Fulham, I prefer ROD's all round game but FF is in possession of the shirt. Mathews (fully fit) , Flint , Mag's, Left Back ? GON, Tomlin + 3 Tammy , who probably needs a rest The rest you can mix and match , I'd probably add JB and Bobby but even they've been rested like everyone else. Pure guess work but I'd say. ROD Mathews,Flint,Mag's,Scotty GON, KS , Odowda,Reid,JB (in no order) Wilbs or Engvall if fit. Tammy,Tomlin, Patterson dropping to the bench .

Phileas Fogg Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Obviously fatigue and injury will ultimately dictate.. but if you think rationally.. realistically I think it's unlikely we will get promoted, likewise I'd say it's also unlikely that we'll be relegated. Neither scenario are impossible though. That leaves the cups for the finance, media exposure and local interest - and for once we have a really good chance of making a quarter final in one. I think he'll play the strongest team possible, SL would love to have one of the big sides at home in a sold out AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Lets go for it. Winning can become a habit. Far fetched maybe, but another double winning season would be great, but we wont do it without playing our strongest team when fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Freeman is out. That's a big loss, especially with Paterson being cup-tied. O'Dowda and Bryan as the wide men? Attacking 3 of Reid, Tomlin, Bryan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dereks no1 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 ROD Little Flint Magnusson Golbourne GON Pack O' Dowda Tomlin Bryan Wilbraham Matthews is still getting back to full fitness. Golbourne and ROD need game time. Smith played his first 90 for months on Saturday. Freeman is injured. Tammy needs rest. Im saying 1 0 with Flint scoring a header in the last 10.
