I think 4231 makes sense when you consider that we have 5 DMs in the first team squad and whilst we have 4 players who could probably play as the more advanced mids in a 433; 1 has missed preseason and is regaining fitness, 2 are youth players and other has seemed to historically prefer playing at #10.

Perhaps, just feel that we lack fluidity going forwards when we have 2 of Evans, Bielik and Huddlestone and then only one offensive player in front of them. I believe that Bielik is the kind of player who negates the need to play 2xDMs and allows for more creativity.

Oh I agree and I'm fairly confident that in the medium to long term we will see a switch to a 433. Knight and Sibley are both really talented and both will start to push for starts as we go on into the season. Also Cocu has a stated preference for a 433 so given more time and more chances to recruit it's likely that's the direction we take.

Enjoy Cocu's candour in the press conference regarding Paterson; saying the coaching staff had a meeting with him to discuss the way Bristol train, prepare etc. 

We should have thought ahead and picked up a loanee from every club. Missed opportunity. ?

What's wrong with sending the interns out for a nice walk around every angle you view their training pitch from in the lead up to a match. It wouldn't give you an advantage if you'd already done your research.

I can give you a 749 slide powerpoint presentation to counter your argument, can't I, Marcelo?

Agreed mate if we lose tonate send Pato back and banish him from the city of Derby for feeding us false information?

[Rampage]

No idea how this game will pan out. Hope that we do not concede early. Marriott must have 45 mins at least.

Something of a classic. Caption competition perhaps.

Agua alert on tracksuit. Does it look like I p.... myself.

Even I couldn't spy that coffee cup

[RamLad1884]

Think today we'll see a good few changes to the team. Poor showing at Stoke gives Cocu reason to change. 

Bielik for Hudds 

Bennett/Marriott for Zoon

Buchanan for Malone maybe? 

Maybe Knight for Dowell? 

[SKHunter]

Where's the pub programmes gone? Been in the Alex and the Brunswick and neither has them. It's just not good enough!!

Lawrence

Marriott                       Waghorn

Please? 

If that's a 41212 then it looks good, 352 and it would be bad as you cant be having Dowell and Knight 2 holders.

[MaltRam]

Rest for big Tom tonight. Don't reckon 2 games in a week gets value from him. Bielik to start. Persevere with Flo-jo, Lawrence and Waggy as the front 3. Evans and Dowell. Same back 5. Bit dubious, but need a big game from Lozza. COYR.

[Dean (hick) Saunders]

I’m in France tonight (missing match).

Those that are there need to be 0.01DB louder to compensate for the lack of me.

COYR.

[MaltRam]

I'll be in the Spanish province of Cornwall watching on DCFC site. Ahem. COYR. Give 'em a shout for me too.

Due to being brought low with an attack of acute pancreatitis in the small hours of Sunday morning, I shall be following this by the exclusive media of DCFC forum from my hospital bed?

fear not lads, the old hoovers still got a bit of suck and blow about him. Now, where’s Hintonsboots with an oooh matron to speed the recovery??
