If Elmohamady is showing signs of needing a rest then with Wolverhampton in mind tuesday i would play Fathi instead. Thankfully all championship clubs have the same amount of games to be played in a short period of time.
Crystal Palace apart who have the weekend off due to Millwalls FAC game.
 
“Tom Cairney is only the answer if the question is ‘who was Bradford City’s Player of the Year in 2015?’”.

<rofl>
 
Good read bar the bits on Koren, Cairney and Gedo. Koren's attitude stinks? Really? He cares for this club more than most who play for us, i think it is age catching up with him and nothing about his attitude, to even question the attitude of someone who had two great years before this year is a bit far for me. Cairney's work ethic is a common myth as is the myth he isn't strong enough. Gedo just needs some fitness work he came in on the back of no preseason and no football he was never going to keep it up.

My team would be

Stockdale
Rosie Chester Faye Brady
Elmo Meyler Evans Quinn
Boyd
Simpson
 
why all the hate towards Koren ?

He's putting more effort in this season than last. And the first season he was with us, he never made a tackle all season and just walked about.

I don't get all this 'Koren has an attitude' nonsense. His first season, he walked about and had the occasional shot. Nobody much complained about him then !
 
I think they will risk Hobbs. And I think Bruce will drop Evans. Midfield will be Meyler, Koren and Quinn. Simpson and Boyd up front.
I wouldn't do this, I would probably rest Koren and play Evans instead.
 
Why does everyone still want Simpson in the team rather than the German? Simpson has had the chance we all though he should be given and proved he can not score enough at this level, so let's give Proschwitz that same chance now. The sitter Simpson missed on Saturday (again) could have cost us the points and now his link up play is not good enough.

Stockdale
Elmo Chester Faye Brady
Fahti
Meyler Quinn
Koren

Proschwitz Boyd
3-5-2 if Hobbs is fit with Koren dropping out

Simpson can't finish but gives energy and work rate, now and again playing a decent pass or setting something up
The German can't finish and runs about like a kraut version of Folan.
 
Without a doubt and this being the First game of 3 in 7 days, Squad rotation and freshness has to be key. So my starting team would be thus : -

Stockdale

Rosenoir Chester Faye(c) Brady

Elmohamady Meyler Evans Quinn

Boyd Simpson

4-4-2 for this game. I would not risk Hobbs as a starter.

subs:- Jakupovic - Fathi - Hobbs - Cairney - Koren - Proschwitz - Fryatt.

good strong bench despite the many injuries.

City to Win another 1-0 game imo.

I'm with you Tickler, couldn't agree more.
 
I'd go with

Stockdale

Rosenior
Chester
Faye
Brady

Elmo
Meyler
Evans
Quinn

Boyd
Simpson

SUBS
Jaku
Dawson
Hobbs
Koren
Cairney
Faithi
Proschwitz
 
Proschwitz is far to much of a risk at this stage of the season, i can't remember the last time i sat and watched a forward who struggles to read a game as poorly as Prossie, think ive mentioned it before but when he came on at Millwall it looked the uneasiest 25 minutes of his career! By the way Proschwitz has missed the sitter of the season (Blackburn at home i think) 2 yards out, open goal and bang.......it goes wide.
 
What wall of text ? Why the oh dear ? What the **** ?

In the last few days I seem to be beset by ******s and people being clever ****s every time I post. Which one are you as I really can't tell ?

There was a big post earlier in this thread (wall of text, common term on the internet in the last twenty years). Feel free to read that post.

In that big thread there was a one liner about Cairney. I thought it was funny as it suggested he was ****, which may or not be my opinion, but it was worded in such an amusing and clever way that it was funny, irrespective of your feelings on Cairney.

The "Oh Dear" was either 1: because you were trying to be clever as seems to be common for people in this forum in recent months, or 2: because you didn't understand a simple amusing concept, you know, like having to explain a joke to your children or grandparents.
