BCFC_Josh Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 In what was a very frustrating game yesterday a positive in my view was Taylor and Djuric. I thought both combined well in the short time they had when they came on. This is a partnership that needs to be given chance to flourish and I hope they are up front together on Tuesday. I thought Gary O'Neil had a bad game yesterday and three games in a week looked too much for him. With that in mind I would include Pack who I think deserves a chance. Thoughts?

BarnzFM Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'd drop Flint, been awful for a while. And go 4-4-2. Giefer Vyner Mags Wright Golbourne cotterill Brownhill Smith O'Dowda Wilbs Djuric Battering ram upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Please, let's not nullify our best player of late, Cotterill, by playing him RWB. Right midfield for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, admittedly he has had poor games such as yesterday but then who hasnt? IMO he is City's most technically gifted player and perhaps the one of the only players who can change a game on his own when on song. That said I was very close to putting Paterson instead of him as I think he should get a run in the team and his work rate is better than Tomlin's.

BCFCGav Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I didn't like the line up V Burton, clearly lacked goals considering we have the Tomlin of this season not last. I think our squad best suits 4-4-2. Giefer (improving well) Vyner Wright Flint Mags Cotts Hegeler Smith Paterson Taylor (should be playing more) Djuric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson is awful and typifies what has gone stone this season. It seems the only criteria for players is that they are young (certainly those bought in the summer). So we have ended up with a bloated and disjointed young squad of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WECANDO Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Has to be:- Team A Giefer Vyder. Wright. Flint. Magnusson. Cotterill. O'Neil. Pack. O'Dowda Djuric. Taylor Team B Giefer Wright Flint Magnusson Cotterill O'Neil Reid Pack. O'Dowda Djuric. Taylor Tomlin doesn't do anywhere near enough on the pitch for me. Gives the ball away far to much. Appears sluggish, loses the ball but doesn't work to get it back. O'Neil was really good yesterday. Very mobile, snapping into tackles and linking play. Wright seemed a bit vulnerable in a back three and appears better suited to a back four. Great to have Magnusson back and he played well. Bryan was ok in the first half but his standard dropped down in the second. My front two will become a difficult pair to deal with given that LJ plays them together regularly. Norwich had a pasting yesterday and their confidence must be low. We can and must win the game. LJ don't tinker to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Pointless thread really, anyone that actually got the same team as LJ would be instantly institutionalised Seriously though, Saturday was not a must win but WAS a cup final which really you must win or your out. Well done our tactical genius. Explains why a game we really could have done with winning he played a 37 year old up on his own, where the width was negated by making the wide men play wing back and have to cover. Then playing 2 attcking MF's that NEVER get beyond the front man. Burton never knew what was going on! Sadly neither did our Xl. I would like to play a 3 in MF with Hegeler holding and Brownhill and Oniel either side. That wouldn't work in a balanced team with 2 up top. It would probably have to be Odowda and Cotterill either side of Duric and a back 4. I guess with Burton not being a must win, then Tuesday isn't either, plus Mags can't play FB so it will be a 3. That means Cotterill and Bryan WBs. Oniel's be playing pretty well so he could be dropped maybe Brownhill and Pack/Hegeler. He likes playing Tomlin at the Gate so he's in and he probably heard the moans and likes a tinker so 2 up top. The way players disappear and then pop up in the first team, expect Engvall to partner Tammy. If not probably Taylor and Duric. I find it hard to care now it is the most depressing relegation season ever, (and I've seen a few) and we're not relegated yet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
