Just had a drive by the KC, looks majestic in this fantastic autumn morning. Perfect day for football, I'd love to be playing today. Sat here now, after taking the dog for a long walk, with a dozen Hot Cakes to keep me company... the kids had best be up soon or there wont be any left... Anyways. I doubt Greegsy feels threatened for his place... Surely Elmo wont be on the bench, will he? Not if I'm picking the team. Jake looked good against better opposition than we face today, still wont shoot. A rousing chorus of Nice One Cyril would be good. Why dont we sing the names of our players?? Chezzy's come and gone without a song. Big H,will he start? Got to if its 3 at the back unless Hayden drops back there. Akpom didnt do enough for me on Tuesday, not strong enough. Aluko will play, he'll twist and turn-shoot from stupid positions when a team mate is far better placed and be replaced at 65 minutes. Looking good at times but ultimately annoying with no end product. Robertson will hopefully have been practising crosses for the last 3 days. I doubt Brucey will go with this line up, if its 3 i'd drop Dave and let Elmo does what he does best, run the whole right hand side. Greegsy Dave Dawson Davies Robertson Elmo Diame Livermore Clucas Maloney Hernandez 3-0 City.
Showing my face today. 4 nowt romp. Mac Maguire Daws Davies Elmo Diame Hudd Maloney Robbo Hernandez Aluko (HCST) Is what I'd like
Be careful you get the right pie too. Our serving staff are a bit slapdash apparently. You dont want your day ruining by an unasked for mushroom.
Mac Elmo Maguire Daws Davies Robbo Tom Jake Diame Hernandez Maloney Subs : Jak, Dave, Hayden, Clucas, Meyler, Aluko, Akpom If Maguire doesn't get a run out in these circumstances when wiil he? Not seen Hayden cover centre back obviously but figure he can't be worse than what we have seen from Taylor so far. Looking forward to the game - come on City.
From Bruce's comments it seems likely we're binning 3-5-2, so I assume we'll get something like... ----------McGregor Odubajo Dawson Davies Robertson ----Diame Huddlestone Clucas ----Elmo Hernandez Maloney Decent bench today.
I think Aluko has played really well lately, be hard on him to not see him make the starting 11. For me. Mac Elmo Davies Maguire Dawson Robbo Hudd Diame Mahoney Aluko Hernandez Got to be 3-5-2 we look ****e in any other formation.
I'm really liking Hayden. He's very tidy in the middle and not afraid to have the ball. Puts in some big tackles too when he covers in defence when we're facing a counter - has done so in several games this season. He doesn't boss midfield by any means but he's very calming (one mistake aside in the Wolves game that I can remember). I'd be happy to see him at centre back if we're going with three. Not convinced by Harry yet. Seemed to be hoofing the ball anywhere in the cup. He needs more time/experience but he'll get there.
Youth Team playing Charlton away now , anyonre know how they're doing? Would have been nice for some pictures of Peter's breakfast.
