Scrap the 3-5-2 Shape

For a minute I read that as a 5-5-4 formation and thought you'd gone mad

 

evil post! ……….…… likely culprit not WIZ

 

I thought Bakinson played in midfield?

 

I think LJ will go 4-5-1 for the Boro game. He then has the international break to see who is back fit, and reassess from there.

Bentley

Perira/Hunt Moore Baker Rowe

Weinmann Brownhill Walsh Massonga CoD/Elliasson

Afobe

Subs:
Perrira or Hunt
COD or Elliasson
Fammy
Williams
Palmer
Bakinson
Maeenpa

 

Walsh wont start and you have no Semenyo in the squad

 

I sacrificed Semenyo for Bakinson, in case LJ has doubts over Willam's fitness. Who else will start in midfield? We will be too exposed defensively if he has Weinmann, Brownhill, Palmer, Massonga and COD/Eliasson - they are all predominantly attacking midfielders. Brownhill would be the one most likely to drop in and anchor the midfield, but it's risky. If he doesn't rate Walsh enough to use in this situation, where we really lack central midfield cover, then surely he needs to be moved on?

 

Walsh hasn't even made the bench yet so would be really surprised if he were to come straight in to start. Semenyo has to be in the squad as he is the only home grown player we have in the first team squad

 

Good point on Walsh; however, he did start the cup game vs QPR. Would Bakinson be a home gown player?

 

Yes he did but I would have expected him to make the bench as soon as Nagy was injured to provide cover but he didn't which makes me feel he's not ready to be starting Saturday. And no we signed Bakinson from Luton

 

No as Loathsneyd says he was bought, however just put Jojo in goal and you’re sorted

 

Except he’s playing for Forest Green tonight

 

Puts a damper on that one then

 

THOUGHT HE WAS OUT ON LOAN?

 

If you bothered to read the thread, you would of noticed that it’s already been brought to my attention and acknowledged 24 hours ago.

So why the condescending capitals?

 

I am not overly familiar with the rules, however, if he was born in London and was at Luton and then us for a combined 3 year period before turning 21, surely this makes him 'home-grown', or does he have to be on City's books for three years before the age of 21 to count?

Very confusing rules!

 

I think the confusing bit is using 'Home Grown' its more accurate to say 'Club trained' and A “club-trained player” is defined as a player who, between the age of 15 and 21, irrespective of their age or nationality, has been registered with their current club for a period, continuous or non-continuous, of three seasons or of 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21.

We signed Bakinson in August 2017 so need to wait another year for him to qualify

 

He only has to be on the books of ANY UK team for 3 years to qualify.
As an example, a french lad could move to scotland at 15, play in their system for 3 or 4 years then you sign him. He's classed as home grown.
Think thats right anyway.

 

simples I reply as I read and not intended to be condescending, due to present circumstances not always able to keep up but hey ho nice to see it was already picked … got sent off today!
