Good luck today lads, I predict a 3-1 win to the Sky Blues. Please batter them.
did you watch the Oxford match?
That formation would be suicide.
Absolutely no fucking chance of us ever fielding such a rediculous side and formation.
We’d be hammered out of sight after 20 minutes.
Can you tell us the half time score when it gets there at 2.45 UK time?Come on City. Luckily Austria is an hour ahead and we tend to have break at 4ish(here) for a couple of hours back at the hotel. Will be following closely!!!
I'd rather play Thomas in his position in the right than put sterling thereI'd go for this -
the 4 attacking mids would all have to get back as well, especially Sterling. Then Bayliss can free up some room in the middle while he drifts wide.
I'm stuck in a Sound of Music museum (rip off). Although a pre museum beer helped! PUSB!Can you tell us the half time score when it gets there at 2.45 UK time?

That makes more sense if he plays the #10 place. We can't really play 3 attacking mids out of 4 as that leaves Kelly / Doyle / Ogogo on their own which certainly doesn't work if its Kelly or Doyle and I doubt would work with Ogogo.It's worth considering that when he played his best football in Scotland, Andreu actually was a striker in a two-man partnership. I'd be more than happy to play him up front in a 4-4-2 with Hiwula making runs for him to find.
Something like this...
Burge
Grimmer - Davies - Willis - Brown
Bayliss - Kelly - Ogogo - Shipley
Andreu - Hiwula
4-2-3-2 would be great, but I suspect the refereee and the oppositon might have something to say about it---------------Burge
Grimmer - Willis - Davies - Brown
------------Ogogo - Doyle
Bayliss - Andreu - Allissani/Shipley
------Bakayoko / Hiwula
Play people in mostly their correct positions. If it pisses strikers off then so be it but Robins shouldn't have signed so many if we only play with one.
Whoosh!Out of 28 goals last year 6 were from the penalty spot
I may be wrong but up to Christmas last year in L2 he had only scored 7 goals and 2 were against Wycombe on 22/12 - Plenty of time for current players to improve but would be nice to have a few goal scorers now!
Yep, as I said it’s fairly unique, but so was Southgates formation at the WC and this isn’t too dissimilar. We have a plethora of attackers, why not use them? Technically Bayliss and Andreu are better than L1, what other formation plays them in their favoured positions? Defenders at every level are scared of pace, we have pace throughout the team that we should use to exploit defenders. I doubt you’ll find many full backs with pace, positioning and defensive ability in L1.
The formation obviously has flaws, and I’m by no means saying it’s the answer, but I’d prefer to lose while trying to win, than lose while trying not lose (although obviously I don’t want to lose at all).
MR is a cautious manager, last season was the exact same for the first third of the season. Hopefully he’ll realise he needs to be attack minded again, in whatever formation he implements.
Also, not sure what rediculous means.
Like it.It's worth considering that when he played his best football in Scotland, Andreu actually was a striker in a two-man partnership. I'd be more than happy to play him up front in a 4-4-2 with Hiwula making runs for him to find.

It's similar to radonculous.

It makes the random midweek stuff strange as well as he has just reverted back anyway.Another completely bizarre selection. He said he’s going to do something about strikers playing on the wings and does exactly the same with 2 wingers Thomas and Shipley on the bench and Allassani not even making the squad
Brown is not on the bench, Thompson isSky Blues Xl: Liam O'Brien (GK), Brandon Mason, Dom Hyam, Jordan Willis, Dujon Sterling, Michael Doyle, Abu Ogogo, Tom Bayliss, Tony Andreu, Jordy Hiwula, Amadou Bakayoko.
