I said before he arrived he isn't a goalscorer. He's more akin to McLean, albeit quicker. I don't understand why, when our last 6 league results have been 1-0, we don't go in for another GOALSCORING striker. Nobody can say a striker isn't going to fit into our style of play, because our style of play is creating chances that aren't finding the net. Id consider adebola gone and McLean out wide, which leaves fryatt,
king and Cullen. There are strikers out there. Francisco sandaza at st johnstone, Craig Davies, matt Tubbs, Liam Hearn, Erik huseklepp at Portsmouth (they're broke, so why not go for a cheeky bid) all bar Tubbs would be available for less than what we paid for fryatt.

Sandaza would be a decent signing. Watched him the St Johnstone vs Rangers match on SkySports and he was a handfull... mind you would the SPL experiment work again (Elliott decent, Duffy not so much). Liam Hearn looks decent; but I think we should try loan him with a view to a permanant; in case he can't hack it at this level, the one I'd really love City to go in for who's realistic in fees is Kris Boyd ( a free agent). Except for his time at Middlesborough; he's scored goals everywhere he's been (including 6 in 10 games for Forest last year).
 
A mate of mine plays golf at the same club as Nick and I have it on good authority that Nicks going to keep faith with the players who have stuck by the club. He wants to stamp his vision on the team and the likely starting line up is;

...........................Oxley..........................
East...........Bradley.........Cooper...,....Daws
Garcia..........Cairney........Oli............Devitt
................Cullen..........McLean................

We'll scare the **** out of Donny! Nicks taking the championship seriously trust me ;)
 
---------------Mannone-----------------
Rosenior----Hobbs----Chester---- Dawson
Evans---- Mckenna
Stewart--------- Koren-------------Brady
Mclean

Subs - Carson.. Dudgeon.. King.. Simpson.. Fryatt

Wind 'em up in the dressing room before hand Nicky.....and........... Attack! Attack! Attack!

And I said before he came that I didn't want him playing out wide, the best way we can use him is the one up front with Koren, Simpson, Stewart, Brady, McLean, or Fryatt working off him.

With Brady out, on Tuesday we should go with:

Mannone

Rosenior, Chester, Hobbs, Dawson

Evans, McKenna
McLean, Koren, Stewart

King

Subs: Carson, Cooper, Dudgeon, Fryatt, Simpson (might have him in for McLean)
 
I can't believe some people are putting Adebola in their team, if he can't make a seven bench for a second string squad in the cup, he's definitely not going to be involved in a league game, he'll probably have gone by tomorrow anyway.

I think Nick will probably revert to our standard starting XI with either Mclean or Fryatt up top, though personally, I'd definitely give King a go.
 
I'd like to see King start and get his fitness back. Only then will you be able to judge his performances. So give him a bit of time.

I'm not a fan of play one man up front on his own and playing the other frontman out wide. It's an odd tactic.

Hopefully our wingers relish this game and i can see us been able to get at Donny. They seem to play it around a bit rather than sticking 10 men behind the ball.

Just hope we can score goals because you know Sharpe can score goals and can win any game in this division given the chance. There'll be no Peterbororugh style let off with him upfront.

I'll go for the same old prediction 1-0 City.
 
Carson
Rosenior - Chester - Cooper - Dawson
McKenna - Olofinjana
Roary Koren Stewart
Simpson

None of those useless ****ing ****s from Saturday or I might be sick on them, pathetic arse wipes. Cooper an Oli were really the only ones who could take anything positive away from that **** piss poor excuse for a football match, possibly Cairney too.

About time we moved on from saturdays performance and look forward to getting back to the important matter of the league! What would be peoples starting XIs against donny? As i said on another thread, i would start adebola but fear i may well be in the minority on that one! This would be my team:

Mannone
Rosenior Hobbs Chester Dawson
Evans McKenna
Stewart Koren Fryatt/Simpson
Adebola

Thought fryatt actually played well when out wide against west ham at home so i would try him out there again and see how he does. Wouldnt mind brady, simpson or mclean playing out there instead though.

Well i would guess that NB will start with the same team and subs that played and Won @ Reading. One possible change could well be Olifinjana on the bench, but for who ?

a new striker. (Fryatt, at the moment, is a total embarrassment to the shirt).

If we don't get a new striker in, would use King until he tires, then McLean.
Fryatt is being picked on sentiment only, total lack of effort and interest against Crawley.

fryatt not the only one no intrest but he is the only person to hold the ball up and doesnt loose it
 
This is my team. It's based on the fact that we're struggling to enforce a proper 4-3-3 in recent games. As a result, the 1 up front has no support and has to fight on his own. McLean is far more suited to that role than Fryatt. Hence:

Mannone
Rosenior - Chester - Hobbs - Dawson
McKenna - Evans
King - Koren - Stewart
McLean

Subs: Carson - Dudgeon - Cairney - Brady - Fryatt

I think the only reason myself and others are putting big Dele in the team is because of his height. As mentioned before from my recollection of the Donny away game; they had a big CB like Crawley did; so someone who can match him is needed in my eyes.

Still saying Simpson from the start; change things a bit. Let him prove that he can score goals like he did for Millwall instead of leaving someone we signed for £1million + in the stands. That would be the boot up the a** that people think Fryatt desperately needs.
