With a nervous trip to hull approaching after tonight's cliche of a 'game of two halfs', what would be your formation and starting line up for the match?
Do you tweak the formation as we are becoming overrun in midfield? Or do we stick with what has got us into 2nd position this season?
We need a proper full back.
We got away with it against forest when bamba came on.
My back 4
Tarore manga morrison bennett
Hoilett ralls gujic paterson MDL
Zahore
No way is Bamba not playing. Peltier will play full back and he won’t drop Gunnerson.Quote:

Very similar to my thoughts on team selection. Although what is the latest with traore?Quote:

For this game its important not to concede early on, five in midfield can be modified and adjusted as the game unfolds.
Obviously it is not rigid, Hoillet will go up and down the channel to support Ken.
Grujic is our best player at keeping possession,vital.
There were signs of panic last night, due to fatigue, that's not like City, they have been strong, solid and cool under pressure.
This is where Warnock earns his corn, I'm sure he'll get the selection right for Saturday.
No Worries if it's nil nil at half time (a lead would be favourable).
Keeping it tight is key, Hull are safe and will come at us, like a lot of players at this point in the season they are playing for contracts and as they showed at Bristol City will be up for it.
We are still in with a great chance!
Up the City!
Yes but look at the teams we have played!Quote:

That's the team I think he'll pick as I'd swap Gunnar for Grujic and Peltier for Manga.
I'd like us to line up with Grujic further forward.
Etheridge
Peltier, Bamba, Morrisson, Bennett
Ralls, Gunnarsson
Grujic
Mendez Hoilett
Zohore
I'd go with this as wellQuote:

Dare I say it , but Bamba needs to be left out. Not very good last night or last Saturday when he came on. I realise though he may be carrying a knock. So I would have a back four of Peltier, Morrison, Manga and Bennett.
Also Grujic surely deserves a start. The only person he could replace is Gunnarsson. I think Ralls should start and Bryson should be back in too, which leaves no place for Patterson. Can I also suggest that Patterson doesn't actually seem to do much? The positive is that he always in the right place to score a goal, hence why he is top scorer, but also falls down a lot claiming a foul, or running around a lot , but doesn't actually create much. A suggestion above is to put him out on the right to accomodate 3 from Gunnar, Grujic, Ralls and Bryson. But I'd give NML a run again on the right for his pace.
And Zohore up front instead of Madine who is totally ineffective.
So I'd go for Etheridge, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Grujic, Bryson, Ralls, NML, Zohore, Hoilett. Subs: Murphy, Bamba, Gunarrson, Ward, Madine, Pilkington, Patterson.
And Wildschut should never be seen in a City shirt again.
Compared to our LLWWL they're looking pretty good.Quote:

I think we will see this but with Gunner instead of Grujic. Possibly Bryson instead of Patterson.
Etheridge
Peltier bamba Morrison bennet
Grujic Bryson Ralls
Hoilett Zohore Madine pilks NML
They might not notice..
I'd go with:
Eteridge
Peltier Manga Morrison Bennett
Ralls Grujic Paterson
NML Zohore Pilkington
Murphy, Bamba, Traore, Bryson, Ward, Gunnarsson, Madine
That's a thing of the past these days, its not very often first team players at this level go into the final few weeks of the season without deals lined up with their club or someone elseQuote:
