The Official Bristol City v Fleetwood in the FA Cup match day thread

[1891 B.C. Sweden]

Fielding, Little, Flint, Wright, Bryan, Hegeler, Brownhill, Smith, Tomlin, Djuric, Abraham.

[1891 B.C. Sweden]

subs: O'Donnell, Golbourne, Pack, Paterson, Freeman, Wilbraham, Engvall.

[West Sussex Red]

Guessing that will be a 4-3-1-2?

[Ivorguy]

Guess Matthews, Flint, Magnusson, O'Dowda all injured as don't figure on the bench or are some of them leaving?

[Septic Peg]

Cole Jr starts for Fleetwood...

Guessing a diamond-ish thing?

Frankie

Little - Flint - Wright - Bryan

Brownhill - Hegeler - Smith - Tomlin

Tammy - Djuric

???

My guess, anyway.

 

[Ivorguy]

Sorry missed Flint's name - phew!

Would be happier to see pack and Golbourne starting but otherwise rather excited with that team!

I'd say Magnusson and O'Dowda are out injured - not sure about Matthews.

Poor old Joe... must have relished being in the midfield last week and now back to lb.

Or 41212 with Hegeler in front of the back 4 and Tomlin behind the front two

Yes surely has to be 4-4-2.  BTW   Reading losing to Man U  3 - 0 now, No surprise there.

[Globe Trotter]

Good to see the new boys get a run out before the Cardiff game

Ha!

Indeed - meant perhaps Hegeler at the base, Tomlin in behind the strikers, and Brownhill right, Smith left.

Very little width, and may be more 4132 or 4312.

[petehinton]

They really don't rate Engvall. If you can't trust him to start against Fleetwood something is wrong.

Or some variation of 4132 or 4312 - lack of a left footer/wide player makes it hard to tell really.

Bryan at left back. 

Square pegs in round holes again. 

Yeah, not delighted about that.  

But imagine we'll be aiming to have him get forward a lot - just hope that midfield can cover for him doing that.

I agree, which seems strange considering the aerial threat up front. 

 

[Big C]

I suppose it could slip into a 343 quite easily with Hegeler stepping back and Bryan and little pushing forward 

[Phileas Fogg]

I'd say that's nearest enough LJ's preferred lineup from those available. Clearly going for a big win today and I think we'll get it.

Hoping Engvall gets on from the bench - preferably for 30 mins plus.

[TV Tom]

Where's Reid?

Hopefully we be a game (against lower league opposition) where Bryan can get forward more without being so stretched at the back

[Up The City!]

Hapoy with that team

Yes, he's had problems settling so there is something wrong. Always a risk when you sign a young player from another country, here's hoping he settles soon as from what I saw of him in the Hull game he definitely looks like he's got something about him.

Should be an easy win with the players we have signed. Needed to get some confidence back and ready for 2 huge games against fellow relegation battlers 

Wish I had your confidence -Fleetwood well drilled lower league team -City 3 new players, no time to gel in my book all the hallmarks of an away win.

Would love to be proved wrong but I think everyone is in for a long afternoon.

Like I said, I think Hav only does league games. 

And yes, I'm a size 8. You know what they say about women with big feet... 

.... Round Peg - Square Hole ?   

(soz, couldn't resist,  )

[Fordy62]

Disappointed that JB's reward for a good game is being moved to LB. 

other than that, looks a good team. Delighted to see Tomlin back.

Hapoy?  ....another new signing?  Chinese?

[Bosnian beast]

Djuric starting, yes 4-4-2. Djuric Abraham partnership.
