0-4 to City. We are going up as champions this season.
Could start McGuinness…Ralls …and Etete today ?
I assume McGuiness was suspended on Saturday, I think he’ll be one of the first names on the sheet this term.
I'm expecting just the enforced change with Nelson most likely to come in although both he and Kipre favour the left centre back position. It will be interesting to see if that means McGuinness or Denham whether on the bench or starting.
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.
We had loads of injuries with Warnock, I remember last year thinking how few injuries we had in comparison to previous seasons. It must be something to do with the training or fitness levels?
We don't really have many injuries now, so hopefully Morison seems to be doing things right.
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 ?
