BRISTOL CITY: Pick your changes for this Saturday's big Championship clash at Huddersfield. By a_stockhausen please log in to view this image BRISTOL City boss Steve Cotterill has no option but to make an enforced change to his team's defence when they take on fellow Championship strugglers Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium this Saturday. Sent off after being shown two yellow cards in last weekend's 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers, centre-back Nathan Baker has been handed an automatic one-match ban. The loan signing from Aston Villa, who has been a regular feature on the left side of City's back three in recent months, will miss out on the trip to Yorkshire, leaving Cotterill with a decision to make. City's manager appears to have two obvious options; he could move Derrick Williams back into the centre of defence and recall Joe Bryan or he could promote Liam Moore to the starting line-up and leave Williams to operate at left wing-back. A replacement for Moore in each of the last two games, Leicester defender Moore did not let the side down against Rotherham or Blackburn. But Williams is equally at home when operating as a left-sided centre-back and a recall for Bryan could potentially provide City with an alternative attacking option on the left. Similarly, Cotterill also has a decision to make in the centre of midfield. Marlon Pack is available after serving a one-match ban and could resume his familiar holding role against Huddersfield. Bobby Reid started instead of Pack against Blackburn last weekend and was at the heart of City's best moments in the first half. But did he do enough to warrant further inclusion? Cotterill has almost certainly settled upon his starting XI already. But what would City fans like to see happen when it comes to team selection for Saturday's big game? http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-CITY-Pick-starting-XI-Saturday-s-big/story-28339911-detail/story.html
* Derrick Williams back into the centre of defence? * Recall Joe Bryan? * Liam Moore to the starting line-up? * Bobby Reid to carry on? What's your choice for survival?
I'd change it all completely as it's not working. Fielding Little Flint Moore Bryan Bennett Smith Freeman Cox Kodjia Agard We're not scoring a lot lately and I don't think its any coincidence it's slowed down since Wilbs has been dropped, so maybe he's worth playing if it gets Kodjia scoring again? Either that or play Cox alongside JK as a front 2 but that's not been tested yet....
Fielding, Ayling, Flint, Moore. Bennett, Pack, Smith, Reid, Bryan. Kodija, Wilbraham. Can we get a point ? Very doubtful. Of the above only Kodija and Smith are worthy of the Championship. What a fu**ing state we're in.
Trying to assess what players should be playing in which spots at this time of the season makes me think we are in big trouble. No, I've known that fact for a long time and nothing will change with our team because confusion is our strength.
