Ok, City 0-1 Rochdale.

Joking aside, I reckon a draw.

Greetings from the roost, 3-0 with goals from 3 different players

No Kelly!!!! Hope he’s not too bad and McCallum our injured

That's a really fucking random team selection.

Kelly Ill
McCallum injured

Scratch my last post like a cat

Nice to see Allen on the bench.

Clive saying Kelly was fine yesterday implying he’s not poorly lol!!!

Starting 11 doesn't fill me with confidence, not sure leaving o hare on the bench is a good idea especially with that team

But not O'Hare.

That's an odd team. 5-4-1? 4 predominantly central midfielders. Surprised Allen on bench after playing yesterday. What's up with Kelly?

I'm going 0-1 with that team.

That's a weird looking team

Yep it’s the same system with the late change being Eccles replacing Kelly. I don’t know what everyone else expected after last week.

Only one defender on the bench as opposed to the million we normally have - that’s a positive. O’Hare, Kast, Bapaga and Burroughs all attacking and potentially able to change the game.

Starting XI looks strong to me, not sure the concern. Granted not the most attacking midfield, but it worked last week so despite the improved opposition, there’s no reason it won’t today.

Really glad it’s sticking with 3 at the back and giving Drysdale a go and youth a chance on the bench.

3-1 City, Bakayoko, Shipley, Westbrooke.

Dodgy looking team that 1-0 loss

Eccles over O’Hare what the fuck ?

Not Eccles ahead of O’Hare anywah

Could be a tough day. Don't think we can read too much into the team selection, its pretty much the only players we've got available!

Would love to see Jaime Allen come on today

I expect this to be a struggle, but not having Kelly is a major blow.

Eccles ahead of O’Hare is bizarre surely ?

im Confused with that side on where the goals will come from?

Off topic slightly... MK Dons v Cov in the leasing cup....

totally different roles. Kelly was supposed to play so Eccles is a like for like replacement. He couldn’t bring O’Hare in as the system would have to be changed
