Id have Bowler for Ugbo.

Also id have Ng even if Romeo is fit.

[Former Labour leader]

I had a dream last night. We were winning 5-3 with 20 mins to go and I bloody woke up.
Assume that matched ended that way in my dream si that is my prediction
5-3 City

Bowler has been confirmed out of the game by Bulut. Otherwise, I’d agree with that.

I’d agree.

Be interesting if he’s willing to drop Wintle after signing a new deal or Ralls.

Hopefully Robinson is back in.

That's how I see the lineup too.

As for the score.. difficult to call.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

I think he will go with Wintle over Ralls for now.

1-1 written all over it.

I see Sheffield Wednesday are giving a medical to a Spanish attacking midfielder from Celta Viga, loan deal, apparently.
Can see him being made to look a 'world-beater' by us...

[WJ99mobile]

I don't mean any sort of hyperbole

But this is a must win already

Thats fair enough but if Will Vaulks looks like Pirlo it will be time to pack our bags and head to L1.

[John Buchanan]

I agree with the line up and I admire the score prediction!

I agree with the line up apart from not being sure Ugbo will start - there are other options, even if they are not convincing ones.
I posted a 4.1 prediction for this game previously. I will stick with it.

Sheff Wed the only team without a point.....when was the last time a side lost their last four games at start of a season? (Eric?).....Law of Averages for me says Banker 1-1 draw unfortunately....

I do remember winning the first 8(?) home games in our championship winning season, then having a home banker against relegation certainties Peterborough...

How odd.

[Jordi Culé]

How odd.

It'll be a red kit won't it?

In homage to Bulut being from Turkey.

[Father Dougal]

How odd.

No we won't be.

[2b2bdoo]

No we won't be.

Any idea what they are doing then? Just popping it up on the screen?

Warming up in it maybe? Be a bit weird, but you never know.
