The style of football is ok as well and he would have been a perfect choice ahead of Coleman

Lets face it there would have been hundreds in front of Coleman that would have been perfect

Didn't he play for us under Presley time on loan from arsenal only lasted 2 weeks sent him back

When we had him he spent more time going back playing for Arsenal than us

Godden possibly on the bench may get 10-15 mins at the end

Is he really that close ?

According to MR and he should know

I believe this game is on the red button

1-1 ,
cov goal coming from Max.
Could we see Robins go to 4 at the back with Ostigard suspended? He could also play Pask or Rose at the back , he has a few options

Pressley looks like a potato with a mop on his head

Think Middlesbrough will win, but if city can get a draw and take a point, it'll be a good result.

What's different to any other professional football team?

Everyone acting like we have made it through our tough fixtures bit for me it doesn't get much harder than playing a Neil Warnock team in the championship

Tske the draw!

Boro tend to alter their formations quite a bit - would like us to still play two up top though none of the forwards playing currently are massively impressing me - for what he brings Walker has to start and he seems to need someone up with him as he cannot play the lone role.

For me I think we go 3-4-1-2 with the line up below - would like to see both Baka and Godden and use them both if forwards flagging.

Wilson

Rose Fadz Hyam

Dabo James Hamer McCallum

O'Hare

Walker Biamou

Subs: Marosi, Pask, Eccles, Shipley, Kelly, Allen, Gyo, Baka, Godden

I think this game will be a lot harder than people think.

Captain Obvious, but we need to take our chances.

You know it was always going to happen naming him in the team

Marosi, Pask, Sheaf, Hamer, Shipley, Allen, Jobello, Bapaga, Baka. Would be a bonus if Godden was fit enough for bench but not expecting it.

Prob see Hamer come on around the hour for one of kelly or james and Pask replacing Dabo, although this may depend on how the game plays out.

One thing that could work in our favour is that if Rose comes in and has a solid game the following game when Osti is back available would mean Hyam, who is clearly in need of a rest, could drop to the bench in favour of Osti, Fadz and Rose.

Hopefully Robins will say that the ref should look out for fouls on O Hare - he needs some protection from the cloggerz

I've always thought that, but having listened to a few podcasts from players who played under him, he sounds a good bloke to me. Quite funny really.

I know someone who used to play under Warnock (a long time ago and not anybody famous!). He said pre-seasons were brutal. Warnock's approach was to beast them beyond belief - more than other managers. He was regularly physically sick during pre-season training and wasn't the only one, simply due to physical exertion.
No real relevance here, but thought I'd chuck my two pence worth in!

Wilson
Rose, MacFasz, Hyam (hold my breath)
Dabo, Hamer, Kelly, Sam Mac
O'Hare Walker (O'Hare as a false number 9)

Either way no Max, mainly because if he plays, this board just goes full on obsessive.
We lack speed since Giles left, so I would like Bapaga to have a spin as sub

Edit senior moment only 10 players! James in midfield

Are we only playing with 10 players?

Gibbo supremely confident a bit harsh on Max to drop him but play with 10 men!!!

A player valued at only £25m? just about sums it all up

He could have named Shipley, but the outcome would have been the same.

*Runs*

Gonna sound a bit like Kevin keegan but I would love it if we beat them ... Love it .
Can’t stand Neil warnock

Definitely take the draw on this one.It's going to be a battle and a loss would look worse with points definitely being picked up elsewhere. I can't think of a worse fixture than Huddersfield Blues as they're both so shit don't want confidence in either camp.

Read the post i was referring to Warnock style of management

If Godden is fit he should play
alongside Walker with his type of injury if it’s not fully healed he shouldn’t be considered.

Assuming James is in there to to reach our quota it's an interesting thought about O'Hare playing more up top, with hamer probably playing more advanced than normal for him to try and get passes through to the front two.

I've no doubt O'hare would do the chasing etc job Max is having to do for Walker, but i think he might not have the physicality to compete with centre halves. Certainly doesn't have the height. He's also got the same problem as Max in terms of converting chances.

He was on fire

Grendel and cohort who liked his response. It was my rather crucial spelling error in my post. It should he was NOT on fire. But he was the other things I said. In my view at least.

What happened to original Magwitch? Have I missed something? Will this one want Osti as a winger or Walker as a full back?!

For some reason the account froze and couldn’t shift it so re-registered rather than fuck about.

Injury may have healed but even if it has he won't be fit (certainly not enough to start. 15 mins at best)
