Did stoke have a shot or put us under any pressure? I'll judge once a team attacks us.That back was a proper solid back four display. Every header won and every tackle won. Impressive leadership and talking to each other.
That was bidwell’s best game for city. Does Robins let him go in January as is rumoured?

Yeah Bidwell was my man of the match yesterday great performance hope he stays with usThat back was a proper solid back four display. Every header won and every tackle won. Impressive leadership and talking to each other.

Weird take going on yesterday's display they were way more rocky than our back pairing. At one point Rose dithered on the ball and got bullied out of possession.Would rather have Mcnally and Rose.
If he does then it’d be ridiculous, he should always been first choice and it should have been his place to lose.That back was a proper solid back four display. Every header won and every tackle won. Impressive leadership and talking to each other.

I cannot not see Maguire in Kitching and I wish I didn’t! His physical appearance, running style, mannerisms etc!

I might be wrong, my eyesight is awful. I'm sure it was number 5 but either way my point stands!Without looking back at it I'm pretty sure that was McNally who got caught in possession by Eccles.
Yeah I thought that might be his one error that leads to a goal, which has happened a few timesYes, erratic!... Was it him that have alway a ridiculous foul on 94mins giving them a chance to put a set piece into our box!?
Looked genuinely hard to tell

What does that matter?They didn’t cost £6 million
Just watched the YouTube highlights and yeah you were right it was McNally. He dithered twice and got his pocket pinched.Without looking back at it I'm pretty sure that was McNally who got caught in possession by Eccles.
Thought Kitching in particular played some impressive forward thinking driven passes out of defence to set us on the attack
Preston away and then Stoke , we have looked loads better in a 433Still would like a back 5, of
MVE, LATI, THOMAS, KITCHIN,BIDERS/JDS.
the 433 should be reserved for situations we need to go for it.
Southgate itching to pick him for England.Best I have seen them both play and you’d expect an understanding between them and Collins too.
However I cannot not see Maguire in Kitching and I wish I didn’t! His physical appearance, running style, mannerisms etc!
Itching for KitchingSouthgate itching to pick him for England.
Kitching was leading well across the back, shouting instructions and moving the line. Early signs of a good partnership.. also helps when two defenders and the keeper know each other well.I was saying on the way back to the car, if we ditch the back 3 I can’t see mcfadz playing many more minutes. Not knocking him, he’s been one of our best signings in the last 10 years and absolutely brilliant for us.
lots of potential with kitching and Thomas , looks a very big brutish partnership. Kitching has certainly got the passing ability aswell
Was just going to post the same, thought the triangle of Thomas, Collins and Kitching worked well, obvs comes down to them playing together a lot, maybe the way to go, give them a run of games and see how the defence settles in all together, thought Lati and Bidwell played well across the line as well. Was not one for Lati at RWB, but he seemed to grow in confidence at RBKitching was leading well across the back, shouting instructions and moving the line.

There would be no shame in that, Maguire would dominate in the Championship! its the nippy, skillful, top-level stuff that can make him look a bit of a donkey. I feel the criticism of him is pretty harsh, especially for England, he is fairly dependable and actually really good at stepping out and picking a long pass. Also it's not like we have tonnes of options.
I definitely see the similarities in Kitching. He has certainly beefed up since watching play for FGR. Fingers crossed we can flog him to United for £70m
I wouldn't.Would rather have Mcnally and Rose.
Rose and Wright scrapping for the ballI wouldn't.
Rose was soft. He had pace and could pick a pass, but got bullied too often. Always thought he probably was a full back or midfielder converted to a CB.
Kitching is a proper Centre half from what I've seen.

Eccles and Sheaf are better CDM's than Lati though, so why put a square peg in a round hole?I think Binks has been one of our best players this season, so it’s good to have a few options at CB with him and Lats too, along with Thomas and Kitching, who are looking like they’re at the very early stages of forming a good CB pairing. Take the point on Collins having played with them too, but I think Ben Wilson’s last few shaky moments are in no small part down to having an ever changing defence in front of him and not having the same confidence in them as last season.
I’d still prefer MVE at RB though, and I’d like to see Lats play as a sitting CDM in front of the back four and able to drop in when needed (eg when MVE pushes forwards, or if we’re under pressure)…
…that then gives the choice in midfield, Sheaf and one or two others (not Kelly or Allen from the start, they are squad players at best if we want to progress), and then two or three up top.
Personally I’d play Lats Sheaf and one other in midfield (any thoughts on Ilias Chair
from QPR?), and then O’Hare pushed further forwards and floating with two strikers from the three available (one of which has to be Simms on his last couple of performances).
Just my opinion, and no I’m not a football manager before anybody points that out - I’ve watched a lot over the years though!
I disagree that Eccles is better, and I wouldn’t say square peg given Lati plays there internationally.Eccles and Sheaf are better CDM's than Lati though, so why put a square peg in a round hole?
I like Lati, and think he's done a good job since he's arrived and arguably deserves a place at CB ahead of Thomas on performances so far, but I'm sure he'll get another chance.
