Nuwtfly Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Just now, brady1993 said: My first instinct was the first one and if it's that, I actually like that midfield balance; Bird is excellent positionally and Holmes and Knight are full of energy and running. Remember when we played 4-3-3 with De Sart as the holding midfielder? Think we could see the same thing happen with Bird if we're not careful. I like to see Bird in the side but, for me, he should be sat with a Shinnie or Bielik type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not more of the same like @Davidcalled for. I'm feeling positive now @David. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get loads of chances so might work out for you, especially if you score first. I'm hoping we can actually attack now so it could be very open.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 What has poor Curtis done being dropped for Wisdom. Our problems at the other end. Very harsh that. Holmes. Not sure why he's starting. Same old same old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteroseram Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Until people said about Bielik playing for U23s yesterday I assumed it was something poland/covid related keeping them out... Is Joz injured? Tough on Davies, but I'm not convinced he works unless he has 2 CBs with him, much as he's my favourite current player. Harsh on Shinnie, but horses for courses and all that, I'm sure we'll see plenty of him back soon Interesting (not a criticism) choice of Rooney to start. The advantage of not being sole manager, he can leave LR to deal with the bench and sidelines, but makes it difficult for them to have a conversation about decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Bird's progressive passing re-emerges. Agreed. Totally bewildered and underwhelmed about that team selection.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Lets hope covid screwing Bristol City's pre match prep helps us come away with a decent result. Our bench makes me sad, other than Sibley there's nobody I'd have faith in to come on and turn in a match winning performance. Whittaker looks better than last season but he isn't going to come off the bench and put their left back to the sword. I hope the new manager bounce means we'll get the win but i'm struggling to be optimistic looking at the selection. Ibe is looking like a car crash of a signing, as is CZR, as is MtW. Jozwiak always seems to come back from international duty with ailments. Its all good though because our academy wins matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes must have done well in training to justify his inclusion as he’s by far the most out of sorts player in the squad at present. Dont like Rooney in midfield (If that’s where he is) but let’s see how it goes! Strange that MTW didn’t even make the 9 man bench TBF, he's just one of many IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Re: Bielik.....surely the feeling is we don't want to be carrying players who aren't 100% ready for a Championship match. I'm sure he'll be starting as soon as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Can’t complain about the team if Bielik and Joz are not fit, other than Holmes who has been very poor this year. Would prefer Sibley personally. Glad to see Bird back; he will be a proper player for us this season (and hopefully more). I was really looking forward to seeing Martin v Davies in a foot race too. Ah well, hopefully Wiz will take him out early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I think the reason why Wisdom is in for Davies is that he's a lot better at progressive passing. He's got a decent long range ball and is good at passing the ball through the lines. Good to see Holmes back in though, he's definitely second to Joz though.

That's the only one that is arguable, imo he's too old to be starting now, and hasn't impressed this season anyway. Bench aside, quite a strong team, no excuses if we lose.

You want them to do well when their name is mentioned on commentary, then you remember they no longer play for you Enough about Jamie Boy though, come on you Rams.

jono Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I figured Rooney would bring Max back. I have a sense he is Wayne’s protege he improved so much when Wayne arrived. Just hope we don’t sit too deep. Pity about Joz but if we relax and play we can do this. .. jeez I am nervous though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
