Ruddy, Naughton, R Martin, Barnett, Tierney, Fox, Bennett, Johnson, Hoolahan, Holt, Morrison Subs: Rudd, Drury, Wilbraham, Pilkington, Surman, C Martin, Jackson Ok I'm going to stick my neck out and say we will score a goal in the 57th min. We'll have 41% possession. And a total of 5 goals, but in truth I'll be delighted if it's that few.

Unless Lambo has a radical change of plan surely the team picks itself. Got to be the same starting eleven as in the past two games... City Lineup: Ruddy Naughton, R.Martin, Barnett, Tierney Pilkington, Fox, Johnson, Bennett Hoolahan Morison Subs: Rudd, Crofts, Surman, C.Martin, Holt, Jackson, Wilbraham Possession: 37% City to Score after: 28 mins Total goals in game: 5 Question for you RBF - are we allowed to edit up until the deadline you set? I am wondering if Whitbread will be declared fit in time. If so then I will swap him for Wilbraham on the subs bench.
Yep, as many times as you like Chris. and, Mr. Marsupial !!! - you need a couple more subs to fill up the bench.
