I still think five at the back at home is too cautious.
I think its 3 at the back, same as Saturday
It's a back 3Quote:

Doesn't that depend on whether the wing backs attack and provide the width and crosses.Quote:

I'm less confident about central defence and central midfield. Mozzer, Nelson and Vaulks need big games.
Great to see Zimba on the bench, and Ralls back.
Would have started Flint and Harris, but that's ok.
Not really. It allows Giles and NG to get high and wide whilst having Colwil and Evans provide support to Moore.Quote:

We always concede a few so I’m going 4-3 city
Yeah I think you can make a case for Flint but personally think Morrison is a better defender and I wouldn’t play the together especially with Giles bombing forward at fullback.Quote:

Agree this team couldn’t be further from a MM teamQuote:

Just didn’t want to chance it, not happy about the situation....C’mon The City!!!Quote:

Irrespective of score, isn’t it nice just seeing us try and pass it a little.
So much better to watch, having to watch on tv as I’m away unfortunately. Vaulks wasn’t wrong about the change in midfield play, he along with Pack look so much better.
well impressed so far.
When someone is in possession someone dropping into space just incase.
Always trying to get that second ball
Quicker
Positive forward balls into space
Just looks like we have a plan rather than waiting for the oppo to open up
EDIT not sure about the huge gaps in the defence mind
Did I just hear the commentator suggest that MM was trying to change our style to a more possession based game lol
Collwill and Evans are a joy to watch.
They are playing with confidence!
No BBC reporters down the CCS tonight? Our game hasn’t been mentioned at all in the live updates so far. Have they not been made aware of Mick’s departure?
Refreshing to see the players passing the ball to each other. Much better to watch.
(Smithies looks to have missed that particular team meeting though.)
