Godden didn’t start against Brum, this was the team:



We played most of the first 90 mins without Godden, and all of it and the first half of ET without Walsh.

I can’t see how you can argue that XI is stronger TBH. Walker over Baka, McCallum over Mason, Østigård over Pask, Sheaf over Westbrooke and arguably Rose over McFadz IMO.

I was going of the first game. That team was definitely better

Not sure I’d say we “played them off the park” in the first game. My view was limited but I remember it being more of a stalemate.

We changed formation for the replay and by all accounts (I didn’t go) looked a lot more competitive for it. Same formation this time with better players is something to be optimistic about I think.

6 months off has properly fucked us. I really didn't think we'd be struggling this much. Lets hope other teams do actually break down as the season progresses and we just get stronger.

Hmm still not 100% sure on injuries as MR kept cards close to chest - reckon we will probably line up with this side below as things stand.
(not the team I would play but could change with injury feedback) - need to win and think we will 2-1 for some reason.

Marosi
Giles Hyam Fadz Rose McCallum

Sheaf Hamer

O'Hare

Godden Walker

Subs: Wilson, Pask, Osti, Allen, Kelly, Shipley, Biamou

Really frustrating to get so many injuries any time, but especially ahead of a game that is very winnable.

If we lose this its panic button time. Could be 7 points off the next placed team come Saturday. Already a mountain to climb if so. Hope the injuries aren't as bad as they seem, this is a massive game

I’m going for 1-1 after last season. Two matches and it took pens to separate us. Really could do with the 3 points though.

Still can’t get over the fact that we could have released Baka but gave him another year. He couldn’t hack l1. We could have had a decent Prem player on loan in his place. Hope he comes of the bench and gets the winner on Friday

There's an extra 4 chairs tomorrow, if he doesn't fill one of them I doubt he ever will.

I'm not sure we have anywhere near the number of injuries that some are reporting/getting from facebook.
Don't think MR has confirmed the injury rumours and we will have a lot more players at our disposal tomorrow....

I’m sure he’ll be one of the 9 if Godden’s out. 9 subs. Bloody ridiculous.

Apparently he was asked about Godden and Hamer by the CET and didn’t shed any light on their injuries. I’m hoping that means they’ll play tomorrow.

So you both listen to rumours rather than go to the source then moan about others posting it as you consider it rumours even though they are Robins' actual words... ironic!

Lose this one then I will start to be worried, its okay losing to the likes of Watford but we need to pick up points against teams like Birmingham, I have been telling myself that City will get points against the teams around us so lets hope that is true.

The 6months won’t have helped but this league is quantum leap in terms of quality of individual players in it from lge 1

We're not getting injured because our players are getting their legs in knots as the opposition does too many step overs, they're not up to match speed.

Would take something extraordinary for us to be 7 points behind the team above. Would need the 9 teams above us to all win for that to happen. We need to start winning but it's still just one game, it won't make or break our season.

Well I think he’s citing their source rather than the telegraph...unless of course you’re suggesting they literally made up a quote, which even for a rag like the CET is a bit of a stretch

“
Asked if he will be fit for Friday's game, he added: “I don’t think he will make it, so I think he’ll be ruled out of this one."

"But I am absolutely open to giving everyone as long as possible to make the squad
."”
