    Are we really going into this game with Watters and Harris as our strikers?

    Really hoping to see something more positive in this game. I like passing it around but something creative up top PLEASE.

    Had some really well worked goals in the first two games. Been way more stagnant and sloppy even, these last two games.

    I'm looking for an indication from our manager that he isn't going to try and fit square pegs like he did last season. I've no problem with us going in with Watters and Harris but I really need to see the team set up to give those two the correct service and style that plays to their strengths. Those are the two strikers we've/he's got. He has to adapt our play to fully exploit those two and not try and play any other way.

    Not even really convinced we can call Harris a striker at this point tbh, given his lack of goals wherever he's been in his career, Watters is the only semi-realistic option isn't he.

    Tanner should be back today, or maybe tomorrow in the Hereford game. Is over whatever knock he had.

    Colwill still struggling a little.

    No surprise if that is the starting line up against Norwich.

    Same team I chose in the “vs. Norwich” thread. Hope they do well. Come on City!

    Really like them both and really wish one of them was a right back!

    Only 10 subs - no McGuinness, Phillips or Luthra, with Ralls, Adams, Davies and Colwill still out with injuries.

    Which ones would you change Bob?

    (Apart from Watters)

    Is he playing Ojo as a striker? Would have been interesting to see Crole on the bench, maybe e twenty minutes at the end?

    I’m a bit surprised at the centreback pairing, but in a positive way and I been a little underwhelmed by Romeo so far. I don’t think there’s much between the two left backs, but I can understand the preference for Collins.
    No surprise it’s the forwards that concern me most, I’think Watters could make a Championship standard striker and I’m not as critical of Harris as some, but it’s the lack of depth that is concerning, especially with no sign of Colwill and Davies returning at the moment.

    Tanner over O'Dowda if 100% fit.

    I’m interested to read Bob’s reply but for me, this is getting close. Without any new recruits I can’t see what else there is. I think that was Bob’s point but I don’t know obviously.

    Looks like 4-2-3-1 to me.

    I didn't see anything from Ng last season to suggest that he's good enough defensively to play as one half of a centre-back partnership.
