COYR I thought this and Millwall were winnable, after watching the game the other night I still think we should have won if we had turned up at all. Today depends if we are City Vs Fulham , or City Vs Millwall. Fingers crossed for Fulham. Quote Link to comment

tin Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) If we had a fully-fit squad and I expect us to get three points today. But if the XI that finished the game at Millwall starts today, I’m fearing the worst. Their home record is decent, so I’d take a point right now. Edited October 2, 2021 by tin 2 Quote Link to comment

Davefevs Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Martin is not an aerial target man, he’s 5’10” not 6’3”….but is a target chest down where he can use his frame (big arse) to hold his marker off. Martin is at his best when he gets runners around him. Clever touches, layoffs. We didn’t do that on Wednesday, too often our attacks were from too far away from Martin and Weimann. That is an area to improve. Both Williams and James are players that like to get close, Scott too. Sometimes a player can play poorly themselves, sometimes it’s because of what’s happening around him. Wednesday was a bit of both imho. Hes been a bit in and out the last few games. I suspect there might be some interesting reactions on OTIB at 2pm when the teamsheet is announced. 4 Quote Link to comment

I'm assuming a maximum of two from Semenyo, Baker, Wells, HNM, Dasilva, & Williams might be available. Martin has looked tired the last two games, and he and Weimann haven't hooked up particularly well. Andy King might be in for Bakinson? Could we get Scott in? I'm not sure COD is fit to start - and he was off thge pace Wednesday. Britton on the bench? Who knows. Looking forward to seeing the team ... Quote Link to comment
ashton_fan Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 We desperately need Wells or Semenyo fit for this one or the attack picks itself unless we just play one up top Quote Link to comment

He's the classic player that fits NP's phrase 'I focus on what they can do, not what they can't'. And, at the moment, with injuries we don't seem to have many options, certainly not better than Martin. He's limited in terms of pace and the tactical options that allows us, but at least he's fit and can do some things well. Edited October 2, 2021 by firstdivision 1 Quote Link to comment
