I think we should shake it up a bit after that poor first half on Tuesday, not that Robins will be brave enough to try something new:

Wilson in goal due to his Sunderland connection and Marosi's howler
Giles in at LWB and move McCallum to RWB for a game as I can see Dabo getting sent off, so need to protect him for future games.
Rest Kelly until he can pass to a team mate and give Pask a game there instead.
Willis will have Godden in his pocket so we need to do something different up front. I'd go for the element of surprise and play Baka, Biamou and Godden

----------------Wilson------------------
McCallum-Rose- Fadz-Hyam-Giles
------------Walsh-Pask-----------------
-------Baka-Biamou-Godden--------

Bench: Marosi, Kelly, Eccles, O'Hare, Allen, Shipley, Westbrooke

Think Sunderlands last minute equaliser at Fleetwood will just give them too much edge and momentum. Cov 0 - Sunderland 2

That’s utterly mental.

Godden should play on the right of the three.

Definitely got my football buzz back! Been painful waiting for games. I’m going for a 1-1 draw with Godden to score

Bristol City must have some great young players if Bailey Wright and Walsh have changed both our teams so well. Walsh, one of our best, Wright one of Sunderlands.
Just shows how high the jump will be.
When we get promoted, if some off Bristol City's kids are better than most in 2 promotion chasing teams, it show's how hard a job it will be for MR to just keep us up but i trust MR to deliver a team to stay up or atleast give it a dam go.
If we go back down, i will be pissed off but want MR to bring us back up.

They have Steve Landsdown as owner he’s got a couple of billion so 7 million is peanuts!!

What's that got to do with what i said? All i said was that is if this is the level of Bristol City kids/reserves it will be a long hard season for us next season.
We all know we don't have the money, it will be MR, the recruitment team and what the players put on the pitch that keeps us up.

Does anyone know if there is a wasps protest organised for Sunday in front of the sky cameras to get national coverage of us being kicked out of our coventry home?

I might rest Kelly and McCallum for this match as they've shown signs of either fatigue or inconsistent play of late. I think Allen or Shipley could fill in for Kelly and Giles could easily replace McCallum. So I think the following lineup on Sun would give us a great chance of victory:

Marosi, Dabo, Fadz, Hyam, Rose, Giles, Walsh, Allen, O'Hare, Godden and either Shipley or Biamou for the final spot.

I’d be surprised if it was anything other than Allen coming in for Biamou. I thought McCallum was fine the other night. Kelly wasn’t great (just my observation), but I don’t think anyone can do the job that he does more effectively and I don’t think it’s the right game to start experimenting. Need some big performances for this game.

Agreed. I would give Kelly some sleeping tablets, massage him like Wagyu Beef whilst he is sleeping and wake him up @ 1130 on Sunday in his full kit and boots on with the instructions to run the show.

it just isn’t the important thing right now. Let’s get promotion sorted then worry about where we play next season.

Son’s football has been moved to a 12.30 kick off on Sunday....Fecking Leics football league!!!

Now have the prospect of eating humble pie as I’m always moaning at him about lack of commitment and letting the team down when the weather looks dodgy ... for me to turn around and say we are off to the City match with a few beers.

Need to make a decision today as don’t have a printer at home for the ticket. Not happy!!!!!!!

The weather suggests most Sunday league games will be cancelled anyway.

I think Willis is a better player than Rose to be honest. Just personal preference. I like Rose - but think that our defence would be even better with Willis.

he’s a good player and was a good servant.

Nah, don't agree with that. Rose has been pretty solid all season and rarely makes an error. Willis was always a heartbeat away from a mistake and seemed to have some kind of mind-to-mind connection with Burge. A calamitous pairing.

Not like you to dismiss a player after he leaves city...

Shame Burge wasn't playing on Sunday. I'd feel more confident.
