Tinmans Love Child Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 I remember the great start to last season when we played a struggling Hull team in the cup, and I was gutted that we rested most of the team and lost 2-1, and we seemed to lose momentum after that. Id really like to see us play a strong team on Tuesday v Stoke, we are obviously playing with a lot of confidence at the moment, Stoke will inevitably play a weakened team, so it would be great to keep the momentum going and beat Prem opposition
Robin 101 Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Difference from Hull is we can make 4-5 changes and not weaken the team. Wouldnt have a problem with slight rotations in high workrate areas like CM and out wide. Maybe Vyner will play, Elliasson, O'Dowda etc but whatever side should give a good showing against Stoke who arent excactly flying themselves
Guest Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 We have a much stronger squad this time around, which can cope with rotation - as it did today and in recent weeks.
bristolcitysweden Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 In the interview after todays game LJ said that the team is allready picked and that Eliasson will start

LJ is proving me wrong so far this season - genuinely hope he keeps it up.
BobBobSuperBob Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 He said at q&a Elliasson would start against Stoke Was saying on RB post match , how impressed he's been with him and how unlucky he has been not to be playing
downendcity Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Who Is this De Ja Vu? Is he a French loanee we've heard nothing about until now?

Alex_BCFC Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 I want to see some of the fringe players play. The lads who have played 3 tough games in 7 days deserve a rest and I want to see the likes of Elliasson. Taylor, Magnússon, Vyner, O'Neil and Hegeler etc.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 ---------------Fielding------------- Vyner--Flint--Maggs--Kelly ------Brownhill----O'Neil------ O'Dowda--------------Elliasson ------ --Taylor----Diedhou----- This is what I reckon LJ will go with. Taylor dropping in behind and if Pisano isn't 100% I wouldn't want to risk him for this game and would like to rest as many of the midfielders as possible.

Not sure O'Neill will be fit so possibly Pack in as he had a "rest" at wolves in the week. Think Steele will make his debut in goal as well.

If O'Neil is fit I think he'll start, Johnson will more than likely want to go unchanged from today at Ipswich giving Pack a rest. Steele will more than likely play, I had forgot about him
Rossi the Robin Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Hope Mags starts and has a good game I feel sorry for the lad, I'm sure he can be a success here

I wonder if anyone will rant on that they`ve been `cheated` out of their twelve quid when that lineup is announced.

I was thinking along those lines except I thought he might give Steele a game, I don't think GON will be fit enough, so I can see Korey and marlon sharing the work alongside Brownhill. Considering Hegeler Đurić and Pisano are injured that shows we are building a strong squad.

Eliasson, Taylor, Mags etc should all be motivated to show what they can do. Suspect Stoke will play a strong side as this is a competition where they have the most realistic chance of wining something. Should be a good game.

Not sure if O'Neil will be back, so MP or KS could both slot in there. What a strong squad this is.

The strength in depth is probably the best I've known in my time as a City supporter and for reference we are now on a run of just 4 defeats in 22 games (not including friendlies)
