I don’t think Ohio is fit enough to last an hour, he looked shagged quite quickly on Tuesday. I’d start with Sharp again & give Ohio longer at the back end of the game, if the game permits. I’d make room for Tufan & Seri, if he’s back. The team needs them both.
I'd be inclined to start Ohio, give him 60 minutes then bring on either Connolly or Sharp, we need a focal point, and he can give us that. I don't think Seri will be available for this game, probably Southampton. A bit of a left field thought, what about Jacob at LB and Giles on the wing instead of Zaroury?
While Ohio finished his chance really well, I was disappointed that he didn’t take a leaf out of Ozan’s book in terms of closing defenders down. He looks very raw and think Sharp is still a better bet. I thought Zaroury was excellent first half and a let down in the second. Carvalho showed a few clever turns in the midfield that left them for dead but was also easily shrugged off the ball. Huddersfield have been up front about being able to bully Sunderland - perhaps Ozan in for Carvalho to start, Zaroury to keep his place for me.
Agree with others on here, so I will also wave the flag to bring Tufan back in. He definiteluy can play the role that Slater played at Rotherham. This would allow the either Ohio or Sharp to play thru the middle although I am not yet convinced by either.
They will come at us from the off, will be high on confidence, which will suits us down to the ground. nothing worse that 11 twats behind the ball, well maybe not all the time but definitely in a match. I can only see a city win, some of the interplay in the first half against wotherum was brilliant can’t see Hudds living with that. Use the dark arts learned from the Sunderland game if this lot try and bully us. I’m going with 2-0 away win… Up the tiggers!!!!!! The thing about a bully is… they don’t like it up um….
Think it's become really apparent lately how limited Slater is on the ball. Don't think he's brave enough to drop Ozan back in given he's never done it, but even Troare helps us progress the ball better when he's in there. People have always said you'll see what he contributes when he's out of the team, but in my eyes, it's easy to see what he's unable to contribute when he's in there. Don't wanna knock him too much, he's got legs and always gives the team everything so he's a safe bet, and anyone would miss Seri, but do think it's become a case of teams stopping Morton and us struggling to develop a rhythm. Would love to see Ozan in there now he's fit enough but don't think we will.
We always seem to struggle there. I've seen some battering's down the years 1-3 and 0-4, 0-2 (x2) jump to mind....Best I can see is a 1-1. Rebecca Welch was good at our place, bound to be bad on Saturday. Law of averages.
Last win there IIRC was under SB. Boyd with the only goal of the game. File this game under "Awkward." Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1 City
With commentary by Danny Blanchflower. We were stood underneath him in the gantry in the big stand on the side. Chanting chance…chance missed…You have to be old enough to have heard his commentaries to get that one. Great footballer, terrible commentator.
Wow that really is crap, thanks for doing the leg work on that. We can’t afford to do that against better teams, otherwise they’ll just close us out.
Lot of people calling for various players, no mention of Abdoush and didn’t feature against Rotherham. He’s not injured, so when do we think he will get his chance?
We just have a lot of good attacking players at the moment, so realistically they can't all feature even with 5 subs. There's always going to be some missing out. Against Swansea it was Ohio, against Rotherham it was Ömür and Connolly. I suppose it'll all depend on what types of player LR thinks we need in each specific game.
