I prefered living in Sheffield to Manchester. Didsbury was great, Droylesdon grim, Stalybridge too far out, Chadderton was great too. The area you live in really dictates your impression of Manchester.

But it has a lot going for it. I certainly do not regret my time there.

TBF Chadderton is in Oldham. The part around Chadderton Park is quite nice but the rest of it a bit dull in my experience.

Panzo suspended for Saturday so he might be forced to play both if Bidwell goes to centre back.

I would think 1 would start on the left and Dabo would be given the start on the right

Have you been watching our games?

If Robins puts Dabo against Maatsen he needs to have a word with himself.

I’d imagine it would be Dabo over Norton Cuffy, can imagine Robins will go there looking for the draw.

I think Dabo of late has been dreradful but to kick him out the team and put a new player there isn't Robins usual style unless Dabo is going

So if he plays a player who can barely run over one who can then there's an issue.

Depends if we want to win games or be nice to players who have put in embarrassing performances.

Personally, I'd want a player who can run at and turn Maatsen around. He's good going forward but by all accounts, his defending last year wasn't anywhere near a finished product. And I can't see how he would have improved that aspect at Burnley since.

If he doesnt want to play the new RWB straight away then fine but then Burroughs has to play there. Dabo is simply not fit

It does seem a touch risky to put two new wing backs straight in against the best team in the league, with a makeshift back 3 as well.

So I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Dabo or Burroughs start on the right.

Might even be a game to go with 4 at the back and flood midfield to try and stop them dominating the ball the way they did at the CBS.

I liked the pubs and the people. Most the pubs probably will have gone now. It was handy for Oldham Athletic.

I am going back about 35 years.

They average 66% possession at home, I think we'd struggle to limit that no matter what formation we play.

I think it's a game for utilising Vik on the counter attack (and maybe these two new pacy wing backs).

Think he's having a fitness test to see if he can train. Unless more has been said since.

Robins said today:

“We will wait and see with Josh Wilson-Esbrand. He did some work yesterday, but we’ll see how he is today. I’m hopeful. He has to get up to a level and we need to make sure he’s fine.”

I worry when Robins uses the term "level" in his assessment of players. Generally means he thinkg they aren't performing or showing enough to get in the first team.

I'm assuming he means fitness level.

If he's not at a level to get into the First Team for us but has been on Man City's Bench and played champions league I'm not sure what we expect.

He's never played mens football. Why do people assume he'd be good enough for the championship. The only time he's featured was against early stages of the European stuff.
The Palace kid wasn't up to it . It's a massive jump from 21's. Sinclair Armstrong (who) was brilliant when loaned out in the National League. Since he's been back at QPR he's struggled and they're about to loan him out again.

He's played 8 games of men's football. Including playing in the Champions League.

And anyway if you're good enough you're old enough.

If Rose is the senior defender in our defence you know we are in for a torrid afternoon. Don't rate him in the slightest.
