I don’t see a place for Ralls if I’m honest, although a big fan of his generally I feel he might have been one to have let go.
He said the Villa lad had to train a few weeks with the team to know how we play so I’m assuming it’s the same sign Etete.
Nelson must be favourite to take over from Ng with McGuinness taking his place on the bench and do any of last week’s midfield deserve to be dropped for Ralls to come in? Wouldn’t be surprised to see Harris start instead of Watters mind. Presumably, Philogene and Etete will come into the squad, so it may be Whyte and Tanner, or possibly Sang, to drop out.
You were putting forward a suggestion that Ralls might start. Ralls didn't start against Norwich, therefore, for him to be be in the starting eleven would require one of the midfield players, who did start in our first match, dropping to the bench.
So, who do you think would be the unfortunate midfielder to have to make way for Ralls? (I feel I'm repeating myself here )
Ralls looked way off the pace when he came on last week when you'd have thought fresh legs time to shine.
Very much doubt he'll start unless somebody has picked up an injury.
Etete off the bench would seem a good ploy IMHO.
If things aren't going our way and a different approach needed, I'm sure he would relish the chance to shine.
Similarly if we are winning, give him some minutes.
McGuinness seems the best option.
anyone know if its on the radio live ?

One change to the starting XI for the #Bluebirds - Nelson replacing the suspended Ng.@andyrinomhota starts against his former side. Philogene and Etete on the bench.#CityAsOne pic.twitter.com/yyIxXxvYse
Denham over McGuinness on the bench.
Tanner and Whyte the two to miss out as Philogene and Etete make the bench.
Expected O'Dowda in over Sang, a little surprised with that one.

I'm so confused. Why are people saying O'Dowda's not playing when he's clearly on the team sheet?
