Match Day Thread Man City v Hull City

More chance of an upset.

 

4-1 home win. 1-1 at half time but their quality will be too much IMO.

 

From what Pellagrini has said you wont be far off actually. Shame that Mangala is injured as he is always good for a screw up in defence.

For those in radio land BBC five Live are also doing our game tonight.

 

Last time I heard Tiger Travel have 33, Simon Gray 3 plus the East Yorkshire booze cruise coach.

It could well end up being 40+ if Tiger Travel have any more booked. ??

 

Five Live Extra to be precise.

 

Ok.

 

Is that what you said a few weeks ago too? Just asking, like.

 

I reckon the team will be

Jakupovic
Clucas Livermore Maguire Dave
Akpom Maloney Bruce
Aluko Huddlestone Hayden

 

I didn't think you'd win 4-1, no.

 

Clucas starting in goal with Jakupovic on the right wing,

 

Spot on, there's no way McGregor should start.

 

A nice slice of luck for the boys and a few meaty tackles will result in a feast of entertainment.

 

Is that Bruce Snr or Jnr in midfield ? Or Jack ?

 

The only issue to that one is that the ref is Neil Swarbrick and he may well have his Man City shirt on.

But in cup football you just never know and as i've said before,, We Owe them one from last season.

 

Robert the Bruce

 

Jak has fumbled a bit, even opposition commentators mentioned it. I'm not sure we'll get away with it against this team. If it went to penalties great, but it's getting to that point (or better) first.

If there's a worry about McGregor getting injured it just shows again that despite people saying what an amazing squad Bruce has put together he has left us without enough back up in some areas.

 

I'm guessing that reads from the bottom up. Not sure I agree with Jakupovic up front on his own.

 

It worked with Fettis.

 

The guy from Preston?

 

They blow hot and cold (Man C) so depends which team turns up tonight, and if their hearts are in it.

If they bring their A Game and play as well as they can, 4-1 is the very least they'll do.

Football though, funny old game sometimes, and it's a lovely mid week trip for us with quite another prize. No shame for us going out to them in this round.
