Would’ve gone KKH rather than bidders myself just for extra pace

Massive half. Come on city

Like it, back 5 and still enough to give them something to worry about, rushworth will earn his wages this half

Eccles is criminally underrated by many on here.
Hes been excellent this season, has added the odd goal to his game, and is the ideal choice, especially if Onyeka isnt starting as he is far more disciplined defensively than BTA.

He’s a brilliant footballer. Can’t believe some people took so long to see it / still don’t see it

Back 5 balances the midfield better

have to say I quite like the thinking behind Bidwell here - we might even be more attacking with fullbacks pushing on

We’ll be sitting deep and just defending 18 yard box though so understand the thought process

I swear there was an incident vs Blackburn where a red was not given for a similar incident and the former Blackburn coach, Ismael, vehemently complained of biased officiating.

And he'd be right to say it was shite reffing

Not too worried about this half. Got a cushion and we are drilled enough to defend it. What's concerning is the next match with no Thomas or Lati to partner Woolf.

he’s done well so far, but I always worry there’s a lapse in concentration somewhere waiting to happen

I wonder if this is a match to give Simms 30 minutes, to try and hold the ball up more.
