Anybody else think it doesn't seem to matter what team he puts out? If they all turn up we do ok, otherwise we don't. It's not surprising Brucey claims not to know his best starting 11. For me the only given is that Elmo shouldn't be anywhere it.

needs to find it and quick and then play it for last few games to get some momentum, no point going into the play offs still guessing formation and players.
No Elmo. Give Clucas a rest, and take him out of the rather unfair firing line he's been in and for **** sake, drop Junior for Maguire
If anyone's interested, we chat about the Reading game here. Also cover a fair few other topical subjects about City at the moment:

It's as good as any! I'd give Diomande another start though, I think he's got a bit more muscle about him than Akpom, I thought he held it up reasonably well against Wolves.
Clueless had a rest in the last game, end product was zero! The fact Elmo started must do wonders for confidence amongst the rest of the squad given his performances, or lack of, this season. I agree no Junior, Elmo or Clueless
Feel quite sorry for Clucas, he's doing as well as can be expected, and has been probably our best off-season signing. The fact he cops so much flak from the fans is out of order.
If your not much cop you get flak, simples! Personally would say he's had a handful of very good games, generally earlier in the season was better, but has tailed off badly over recent weeks. At c£1.3m he represents ok business as I suspect if we were looking to sell, we'd get our money back.

Because he's better…? if Diomande deserves a run of games, thats something that Akpom hasn't really had..
Chubba Akpom - 36 appearances
Adama Diomande - 12 appearances
Who hasn't had a run of games?
Diomande's only started one league game, Akpom's started 17.
Yes. And Diomande has already over taken him in league goals. Dio looks like he is starting to settle in and getting a goal on your first start is the sort of thing that gets players firing.
Akpom did look good, but I fear starting him would make him lazy again.
