Hulb · Feb 14, 2012

Any idea what the team will be bearing in mind the increasing injury list?
Does it make any difference anyway?

Murphy
Christie - Keogh - Cranie - Clarke
Norwood - Deegan - Bell - McSheffrey
Nimley - Plattini

Not too confident about a result looking at the team!!!

SkyBlue · Feb 14, 2012

Isn't Norwood a CM? Also, Snodgras will slaughter Clarke

Don't think it's meant to be a 4-4-2 with wingers. More likely the usual diamond formation.

What is the alternative to Clarke?

hughescov · Feb 14, 2012

Norwood will more than likely be DM

Sky · Feb 14, 2012

Murphy
Clarke Christie Keogh Cranie
Norwood Gael Deegs
Nimley Platt Mcsheff 4-3-3

skybluebeduff · Feb 14, 2012

I gotta tell the wife yet that i'm going to the game :facepalm: ooops

Hulb · Feb 14, 2012

Oh dear skyblueduff - doghouse blues join the club!

I thought managers like to put players out of position when they've lost the plot?

mark82 · Feb 14, 2012

Murphy
Christie - Keogh - Cameron - Cranie
Deegan
Norwood - Baker
McSheffrey
Platt - Nimely

Subs: Dunn, Clarke, Bell, Bigirimana, Eastwood

Cranie at left back to try to keep control of Snodgrass.

ashbyjan · Feb 14, 2012

Don't think Cameron is fit yet us he?

skybluebeduff · Feb 14, 2012

I say risk Eastwood upfont with Nimely, let the crowd decide his fate.

Wasn't sure tbh. If that is the case Clarke will have to play. We are really down to bare bones in defence. Wonder if there is a clause to call McPake back?

mark82 · Feb 14, 2012

Revised team, if Cameron is still out:

Murphy
Christie - Keogh - Cranie - Clarke
Deegan
Norwood - Baker
McSheffrey
Platt - Nimely

Subs: Dunn, Willis, Bell, Bigirimana, Eastwood

skyblueinBaku · Feb 14, 2012

It's got to the stage where AT has to see who turns up fit enough to play before he can decide on a line up and formation.

tower_skyblue · Feb 14, 2012

We can always text in to make a substitution if the formation isn't working.

procdoc · Feb 14, 2012

am I the person who thinks that Platt is still garbage?

That is a bit harsh, but we sure do need better if we're to have any chance of surviving. Should be a bench player.

He's the best we have got at the moment. From what I have heard he has been playing well recently, although we do need someone who can actually score goals desperately.

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Feb 14, 2012

The thing about Platt is, if he has an off day, he is liable to look awful. If his flick ons and hold up play is off, he can't really offer anything else. No pace (which impacts on his closing down and ability to make tackles), no real eye for a pass or huge goal threat. This is why I thought he got a little unfair stick upon arrival. It is somewhat similar to the situation with Andy Thorn... if you were expecting a world beater; you should have borne in mind that he would probably even describe himself as a journeyman striker, playing at his highest ever level, 33 years old, and cost £25k (rising to £50k depending on add ons). He comes across as a really likeable bloke and, on his day, offers a real problem to defences. Is he the answer to our rise to mid-table mediocrity? No. Is anyone else on our books? Er, well, to be honest, no.

Haven't told my missus either.

Why do you think I am sweating like mad in the kitchen at the moment trying to conjure up a special meal?

Ready by 5.30, eaten by 6 pm., tell her at 6.25 p.m., leave for the match at 6.30 pm.

collect divorce papers on way back in.

Otis · Feb 14, 2012

Nah.

I would go to the game anyway and she knows I always would, but this is just a way of keeping her sweet.

Besides, she goes to bed at 8 as she is on a very early shift. By then we will already be 2 goals down.

We'd probably have to send norwood back to free up wages to recall McPake...

RB - KEOUGH
CB - CAMERON
LB - HUSSEY

RM - BELL

Going for a complete mix up as what we are currently doing is not working. Got to change if what you are doing is not working.

I actually think when all players are fit a 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation might suit us, with wing backs. I would go with (assuming fully fit squad):

GK - Murphy

RWB - Christie
CB - Cranie
CB - Hreidersson
CB - Keogh
LWB - Hussey

(D)CM - Deegan/Norwood
(D)CM - Clingan
(A)CM - Baker

ST - Nimely
ST - McSheffrey

Mary_Mungo_Midge · Feb 14, 2012

Platt should be nowhere near the starting 11. However, I agree he has to start as we have nothing better.

Over his career he's not even been a one-in-five striker; and less than one-in-ten accounting for all his appearances in a City shirt. Yes, he grafts - of a fashion - but that's not enough to command a starting berth at this level

Skybluesimon · Feb 14, 2012

The team is
Murphy
Christie
Keogh
Cranie
Clarke

Norwood
Baker
Deegan
Mcsheffery

Nimely
Platt

SUBS
Dunn
Willis
Gael (he's back!)
Freddy
Ruffles

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 14, 2012

Very weak team. We will be lucky to score tonight.

Disorganised1 · Feb 14, 2012

Win tonight - 3 - 2
