No to be fair Eccles can do it and should always have the confidence to play those passes

It is a weak pairing though isn't it.
Has to be perhaps the weakest pairing we have had all season hasn't it?
Have those two played before together in that pivotal middle of the park role?
I don’t know if weak is fair
Eccles is a regular championship midfielder
Yeah. Torp was looking like a box to box player though wasn't he, or begining too. Often picking the ball up quite deep, but then playing quality balls into forwards at the other end.
What's Lati's passing like overall would you say?
I really rate Eccles. No way would I ever describe him as weak. It's the two as a pair.
I think Eccles is a mighty fine midfielder at this level..
We all know it’s not our strongest pairing at all
of course I’d like sheaf and Torp to be fit but they’re not
the front four have to earn their money and win us the game
Torp and sheaf have been marvellous it’s time for Simms and the defence to pull us through
Are Preston as physical this year as they usually are? Quite often in the past we have been outmuscled by them haven't we.
Horses for courses
prefer Bidwell defensively
da silva offers us something different with those penetrative passes to the wide forwards
palmer is great at using his body to get on the half turn from them
Would love that to be the case.
I have just seen quite a bit of criticism of Lati in midfield, that's all.
Any chance MR would risk Kelly and Eccles?
Torp is a miss but isn't indispensable after a few games imo, think we'll try and play at a higher intensity than some games of late

We got the football league to put it back a day to give Torp time to get fit.
We've arranged to win the game 2-0.

This could’ve easily been a nightmarish image - thank god his face is on the front of a torpedo & not a….ermmmm….you can figure it out

Wright, Sakamoto, Palmer, O'Hare give plenty of creativity.
Games are normally moved because they are on Sky. Sky has the rights to show through most of Europe and around the world. When this happens it becomes audio only.
Because of where I now live I don’t normally need a VPN. But when on Sky I normally set my VPN to Luxembourg and it normally works. The problem here is we're not used to cup runs so not come across it before
We certainly have. But at least now we have bigger players that can look after themselves as well as the smaller but more agile players.
Just hope we have a ref who looks out for their 'dark arts' efforts.

The usual negativity from CWR will undoubtedly be there tonight , as we all know our record against these isn’t great , but this forum …… we all know what they will bring tonight , physicality, gamesmanship & possibly the usual bust up on the touch line from Lowe .
God knows how they are within touching distance of us , but let’s all play our part in making this as hostile for them & ruin the night of their piss poor support & hope they have a nightmare going back up the M6 , like many of our recent return home journeys.
City back in the top 6 by end of play

Yeah, I was thinking more in terms of Da Silva to be honest.
Wonder if this is the game for him. Seen him outmuscled many a time this season.
If he's further up the pitch it might not quite prove so costly of course.
Hopefully.
