wendyredredrobin Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Team will depend on injuries but maybe Luke Steele in goal and Pisano to return. Will Maggers get a start at LB or in the centre? Really missed Baker on Sat, so hope he is fit. Bailey looks like he could do with a rest. Might Vyner or Kelly get a start? Really missed Patto, but he won't be strong enough to return, Eliason and Leko have no end product, but will have to play one of them with COD onthe other side of Brownhill and Pack. Up front, is Milan ready to return? Otherwise, Will Taylor's nose keep him out? Leaves us with achoice of Fam or Woodrow. What Palace fomation will we have to counter? Was feeling really confident for this one until Woy took over at Palarce and wehad 2 poor games v Burton and Leeds. Still looking forward to the game now and predicting a penalty shoot out.
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Baker is out for 7-14 days according to LJ and I think Leko is cup tied. Đurić recently played 45 mins for the under 23s.
nickolas Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Plus surely Taylor is suspended?! ( pending appeal i suppose).
Robbored Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 This might seem a contraversial statement but I'm not too bothered about the Palace game. To me it's a game City could do without given the current crop of injuries. The Championship is what really matters and a weeks rest would have helped recovery for enitire squad. That said, having a game so quickly after the Leeds defeat gives the players another opportunity to prove that yesterday was just a one off under par performance and be determined to put things right.

Nice one to win but I won't be committing suicide if we lose either. Could be good to restore some confidence that's all.
CityCiderEd Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I think that if we had beaten Leeds the Palace game would have had more of an edge to it but still can't understand why people don't care about the cup in general.If we play well and win the game surely that puts a bit of confidence back into the squad that was second best to Leeds all over the pitch yesterday.
1960maaan Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Woodrow,Leko not available. Baker injured , as I guess is Korey. Taylor will be available in as much as no suspension until hearing, but if his nose is broken I doubt he'll be risked. Not sure if we picked up any other injuries yesterday , or if Đurić is fit enough of 90 but it narrows options. Steele Pisano/Vyner Flint Mags Kelly Eliasson Pack Oniel/Brownhill Patterson/ODowda Đurić/FD Reid That's about all our options

ChippenhamRed Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Just don't understand the ambivalence towards this game. There's a quarter final place at stake. With the teams remaining in the draw there's a high probability of a game against a really big club - or alternatively a highly winnable game with the prospect of a place in the semis. I'm 34 and can't remember us reaching the latter stages of a cup competition (JPT aside). I'm excited by this game.
Roe Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I'd guess as the following starting team:Steele Vyner Flint Wright Magnússon O'Dowda Brownhill Pack EliassonReid Diedhiou Definites for me from that are in bold. The others will be decided by injuries/illness/tiredness and a couple of tactical decisions. * If Pisano is back he could play instead of Vyner, as could Wright if LJ decides to put Magnússon in the centre with Flint. I'd be very surprised if Flint, Wright and Mags aren't all in the starting 11 though. Bryan is one that could start but I'd also imagine it could be seen as an opportunity to rest him, likely with Mags swapping at left back (although Kelly is an outsider for a start). * If Paterson is well enough, I'd think he'd come back in immediately which would mean one of O'Dowda and Eliasson being on the bench (probably Eliasson, although he did quite well in he last cup game against Stoke). I think they'll both start anyway and Pato will still be out, or a token sub at best. * The front two pretty much pick themselves presuming Đurić is still out, and Taylor is suspended. I'd say we could try with only one up front but it's not like we have any other midfield options either so it's not like we can bulk that out instead. Our squad looked pretty big a few weeks ago but all of a sudden it seems very stretched. First time in a while we've had so many key injuries, which is a shame but was inevitable at some point.
GrahamC Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Think we will be well short of numbers but should try to turn this to our advantage, playing as similar a side we can to the one that will then face Sunderland. Pisano seems to be taking an age to return so I doubt we will see him. No Baker, Paterson, Leko or Woodrow, either. If Smith is still out & Taylor is banned there will have to be a couple of unfamiliar faces on the bench. My guess would be: Steele, Vyner, Flint, Wright, Hörður, O'Dowda, Pack, Brownhill, Bryan, Reid, Diedhiou. Bench will include Frankie, Kelly, Eliasson, Hegeler & Đurić, beyond that it will be anyone who declares themselves fit or isn't banned.

I don’t understand it from the point of view that we have played poorly in our last 2 games, maybe 3 - the quicker we hit form again and avoid more talk of last season repeating itself the better. This is an important game for team and fan morale and a good performance is vital, a win or draw in 90 minutes will definitely be a welcome bonus !!

The ‘French connection’ with Diedhiou will help.
And Its Smith Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Tuesday is more important than yesterday for me. Very winnable cup game that would take us to a quarter final. Yesterday was 1 of 46 league games.

JoeAman08 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Not bothered by it to be honest. Play some young players who need a game. Rest those that need it. Steele Vyner Flint Magnússon Kelly COD Pack Brownhill Eliasson Taylor(appeal won) Fam Fielding, Bryan, Wright, Milan, Hegeler, Reid, Paterson(if fit) or maybe a young player like Opi Edwards and Garita if Milan and Pato not ready. Can Downing feature for us being he's on loan to conference? We are truly short on central midfielders and can't rest anyone. Need to sort that in January. Would love Morrell to stay on loan at Cheltenham but he needs to come back in January unless we buy someone.
BS15_RED Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Think this is a great opportunity for the boys to get yesterday’s game out of their systems. Hope we put out as strong a team as possible.
Guest cpfc123 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Roy says we are going to rotate but play a strong side on Tuesday. I'd expect players like Loftus-Cheek, Riedewald, Puncheon, Sako, Kaikai to play (we have no strikers). We never get anything at your place so good luck in the next round

The pathway philosophy of allowing young players a route to the first team if they earn it means he probably should be on the bench given our lack of options. We don't have many forward options for Tuesday - Diedhiou, Reid (who played 90 mins) and Đurić (who's still gaining match fitness). We're a bit light there in the short term.

Bryan and Wright , and I'm only guessing going on the last couple of rounds, could well be rested. We have 2 young lads around the first team that are touted as the future. May be too much to play them both, specially if they play a strong team, Zaha etc. Đurić played in the U23's I believe so may be close, but who knows , they keep their cards close to their chest these days.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I`m not sure if Bobby will play - he was still limping a bit at full time yesterday after being clouted in the first half.
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I see Zaha got 77 minutes yesterday - bench on Tuesday? Also, our nemesis Speroni is in goal at the moment - about the only time he hasn`t had a blinder against us was in the playoffs!

Wish we hadn't signed Woodrow and kept Hinds here. 2 good goals in this cup run and he would have been in and around the first team squad regularly. I know it's easy in Hindsight () but he couldn't have made less of an impact than Woodrow, then as players came back he could have gone on loan in Jan to get a run of games. I don't see LJ doing much different to previous rounds , so Kelly to play and maybe Vyner depending on if LJ thinks Zaha will start. Be nice to see Pisano back at least for a run , but as I said before , options are limited.
swanker Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Let’s hope we start with the international O’Dowda. Their defenders won’t know what’s hitting them if he he puts in a shift like he did against Leeds. This is a winnable game and O’Dowda “ Will tear them apart again”

What has clearly not worked though, is Hinds loan spell to Cheltenham, GJ hasn't given him a single league start, so whilst Taylor Moore and Morrell have gained useful experience and played a lot of games, young Hinds has been getting 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there. Pointless. If GJ wasn't their manager I reckon we would have recalled him by now.

Totally agree @Red Right Hand the change has done nothing to help players as far as I can see.

So I've just been looking on the ticketing site and as @JBFC II suggests the only block with proper availability (apart from singles) is Dolman A block, although the top tier is not open yet. That's a phenomenal effort and suggests a crowd well in excess of the 16k that watched the Hull game at the same stage last year. I wonder if they might start opening top tier blocks shortly? Looking forward to this game even more now.
Jack Dawe Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 We're not going to finish top 6, we're not going to finish bottom 6 - just like in 1988/89. This could provide some much needed do-or-die excitement this season, so I hope we pick a strong side and really go for it. Looking forward to a cup tie under the lights at AG with plenty of young uns (including a couple of mine) in attendance with it being half-term.

I really do not think he is up to Championship standard, in whatever position he plays. I suspect his style is just one that will never adapt to the English game.
