The team I predicted on the Jack Hobbs thread... Stockdale Chester Faye Fathi Elmo Koren Bruce Quinn Brady Boyd Gedo That way we get to keep Bruce in midfield
Proper team news... Evans and Quinn are definitely starting. Bruce is back in defence(and may remain there all season, as Brucey thinks Hobbs might be out for a month), I expect a Bradley recall. Fryatt will not be risked for Boro, but might be on the bench against Ipswich.
Seems a bit daft to recall Bradley even if we can, he's playing every week with Aldershot, to bring him back to sit on the bench seems a bit pointless. Is there no one in the reserves/youth set up that's close to being ready just to sit on the bench? Max Clark maybe?
Bradley is the next best option we have, is it worth risking potentially playing a youth player with no experience at this crucial stage of the season, when we have one getting regular football every week?
I don't think we'd be able to recall him anyway because he's on a season long loan. But for the sake of putting a kid on the bench and bringing Rosie or Fathi on at centre back/right back should we get an injury in a game I don't think it's worth bringing Sonny back from his loan where he's playing every week (and well by the looks of things).
The priority is City having decent cover, not Bradley's loan. In these circumstances managers have to be ruthless. Get him back Steve if we can.
It's a season long loan, so can't be recalled unless we have a recall option written into the agreement, which we probably don't.
Jack Hobbs ruled out for 2/3 weeks with his ankle injury. So that means that Aklex Bruce will drop back into the back 3. Some of the Bruce fans will be happier now.
Exactly the reason we haven't brought anyone through in god knows how long. When they finally get some football at 25 or so we bring them back to sit on the bench anyway.
Boro are bottom of the table in away form (and 3rd bottom overall form) G W D L F A GD 6 0 1 5 4 15 -11 Just watch us lose this game. I have a really bad feeling honestly. This 'll be my last negative comment before the game but I really think tuesday game has cost us automatics.
