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

[Slack Bladder]

What could possibly go wrong?

[JoeAman08]

Watching them warm up looks like Hegeler is warming up with Flint and Wright. Back 3? 

[JoeAman08]

Wright is tiny. Can't be 6 foot smaller than Little I think

Haven't seen @havanatopia or @BigTone set one up so thought I'd do it for a change (iirc Hav only does league games usually).

Fleetwood. A team riding high in League 1 and made it into this round after a replay with Shrewsbury. Their stadium used to be Arsenal's before it was flat packed and shoved on an articulated lorry up the M1. Their manager is named after one of our local Universities. Their supporters are known as the 'Cod army' because they like fish - fish fanciers would be more appropriate.

Fleetwood itself is based in Lancashire. That's up north somewhere. As far as I know, it's a shithole. 

 

Going to say 3-2 to City with our new bean poles taking centre stage after getting international clearance.

Correct... I for one do not do non league match threads... cannot speak for Big Tone though.

Has to be a City win or its curtains.

Interesting that both Pemberton and Holden overseeing warm up today. No crossbar challenge to be seen!!

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

One for the future don't you know.......

Stronger team than we put out against Premier league Hull. Lee feeling the pressure.......or trying to work out his best team at last. Either, or.

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. 

Is Freeman in the squad .?

Just seen on the bench .

Yeah, like that. Joe's okay there. Not so hot if he's the final defender

Let's hope Willis comes in before Cardiff...

That should be it as far as his future with City is concerned. Very disappointing. Players that aren't fit get more injuries

[ciderbeans]

Reckon when hordur is fit, hegeler to move into midfield and a back three of wright, flint and hordur. Think we need a new rwb and should cancel matthews loan.

Can't see it barring two more centre halves come in TBH. If one guy injured we'd have to change our plans for weeks while someone is out. It'll be 4-4-2 I reckon most weeks. Can just about get away with 3 CBs playing two every week

 No great loss IMO.

What it looked like warming up. Don't take it as fact just yet. Wouldn't be mad at it though. Should be good enough personnel to play that against any L1 side

He's had hamstring injuries concurrently now hasn't he? Are we rushing him back too soon?

[P'head Red]

3-5-2 indeed.

Hope it doesn't mean that our doctors and physios are not up to scatch because it's another thing that must get around amongst players

Let's see how this shakes out then.

Like Tomlin through the middle; like Joe being able to get forward; like two up top; like a side that involves Brownhill after his recent form.

COYR!
