Guess my line up would be
Marosi
Dabo Hyam McFadzean Mason
Kelly Shipley
Jobello Burroughs Hiwula
Bakayoko

Burroughs because a three man midfield of the same type of player is just not going to be creative enough. 0 - 0 all over it.

Surely Ngandu is ahead of Burroughs based on pre season? Did Burroughs go to Spain?

Ngandu is highly rated. I have only seen him live once when he started last season against Cheltenham in the cup. Everyone was poor that night. Can anyone say a bit more about his style and ability......

Marco
Dabo mcFaz Hyam Mason
Jobello Kelly Shippley Jordy
Baka Biamou

Hurrah for the stronger squad, Kelly, Shipley and Westbrooke in midfield.

I’m waiting for the first post to say Westbrooke is as good as Bayliss

Despite the many personnel changes I think it'll largely be where we left off last season - look good, control the game and create chances, not score them. Win by a single goal, either 1-0 or 2-1.

----------------------Marosi
Dabo------Hyam*--------McFadzean------Mason
---Bayliss----------Kelly*----------Allen*
--Kastaneer*-----Hiwula--------Jobello

Subs: Wilson, Pask, Rose*, Shipley*, Westbrooke* Baka*, Biamou

*depending on fitness

Looks like I'll have to revise this

----------------------Marosi
Dabo------Hyam*--------McFadzean------Mason
Westbrooke------Kelly*----------Shipley
- -Jobello-------Baka--------Hiwula

Subs: Wilson, Pask, Rose*, Eccles*, N'Gandu , Biamou, Bremang/Bapaga

Not looking the most threatening midfield in the world.

I think some people may be right and there'll be a wildcard in there. N'Gandu or Burroughs being the most obvious choices as a more attacking/creative threat but it might even be Eccles in midfield.

Wonder who's playing in the U23 game - might give a clue as to who might be involved tomorrow.

5-3-2 doesn’t always equal defensive football. Sheffield United used it last season and played some great stuff.

Playing it with that team having not prepared it at all in pre-season however would be a shocking decision.

Looking forward to this. Me and my two brothers making the trip which is a fairly short bus journey from me. I’m predicting a 3-1 win. Hiwulu, Jobello and Baka. McFazdean to look like our best defensive signing in years. Crowd 4,500.

The youngest of us starts his sports journalism degree next month, part of which requires him to do a sports blog. As a die hard City fan (home and away for 10+ years, Northampton aside) you can imagine his chosen subject. Decent read, especially for his first attempt. Link below if anyone fancies a bit more buildup to the game.

From that looks like N'Gandu and Bremang won't be involved tomorrow. McCallum is also playing.

But no J. Burroughs or Bapaga.

At Swindon I thought Pask could do a number in front of the back 4 if needed

What formation you thinking? Likely too defensive.

If kastaneer was fit I’d say 4-4-2 Max and Hiwula up front. I don’t like the idea of Max and Baka together.

Hyam is fit apparently. And surely Dabo will start?

Happy with a draw? Against a team that will hardly threaten to score all afternoon?
