Jimmy Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 2 points i belive i'm right in saying henderson is banned after being sent off for the reserves versus arsenal mid-week and tiatto is a serious doubt with a hamstring injury i think it will be Rab Stearman - Paddy - Nisse - Maybury Momo - Gudjonnson - Williams - Wilcox M D V - Hume Subs: Hammond, Dublin, Hammil, Kisnorbo, Hughes
Thracian Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 Nils is a natural left back anyway isn't he? So i'd prefer him there and dublin at centre back So what have we been mucking about at all these weeks?.
Thracian Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 Let me know if i a missing something but isn't Gilbert a natural left back?? why has he been out of favour?? Cos up to now he hasn't been good enough.
Jimmy Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 nills has said he doesnt consider himsefl a left back
Thracian Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 I don't really understand that. Douglas was written off before he arrived, and he's really not done much wrong at all. He's just a standard keeper really. No reason to drop him at all. At the moment there's no contest whatsoever - and I am one who didn't really rate Douglas from the off. I think we need another good goalkeeper even if Douglas stays steady.
Thracian Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 nills has said he doesnt consider himsefl a left back I'm sure Levein picks the team at Leicester - not some consensus as seems to be the case with England. Nils is paid to pay not pass opinions.
Jimmy Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 maybe so, but nills has been our best cb so why change his position when its not needed! All you ever seem to do is critesise, why bother going if you think the team is that shity
Bluefoxtim Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 ive got a good feeling about this game, i really have... Not to sound too optimistic but I think we will play brilliant and score 3 or 4! COME ON LEICESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leicester_Mad Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 got the same feeling as i did before the Luton game. Oh joy!
Hazza Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 CL hinted that Hughes, Kisnorbo and Hume could start on the bench in the Merc. I also read that he said Hume was a bit behind fitness-wise, so i wouldn't be surprised if he starts on the bench tomorrow. I'd like to see: Douglas Maybury - Stearman - Nissa - Sheehan Sylla - Joey - Williams - Wilcox MdV - Elvis That's assuming Hughes, Kisnorbo and Hume aren't ready to start, if they were i'd have Hughes in probably for Wilcox and Hume for MdV.
Thracian Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 maybe so, but nills has been our best cb so why change his position when its not needed! All you ever seem to do is critesise, why bother going if you think the team is that shity Part a) Because there are several other centre-backs at the club and no left-backs who seem to be good/experienced enough. Part b) You obviously only read selected posts or you don't read them properly. I actually praise or criticise according to the way I see it... something a hell of a lot of equally committed city fans seem to do on this forum. And while you're making the case for blind-faith-fans only to be sitting in the City stands I'll tell you this ... I've been watching City for 48 years now so I shan't be asking your opinion about whether I should continue going or not. Some of us are critical BECAUSE we care not because we think the team or the club are shitty as you put it.

By the way there is nothing wrong with constructive criticism as Brian Little would have said it's part and parcel of the game.
Jimmy Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 i never said constructive critersim is a bad thing. what i do have a problem with is people critersing every little thing.

But you critised Thracian in an unconstructive way and suggested that all his criticisms were unconstructive - not very constructive of you!
Scow Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Team I would like to see... Douglas Maybury / McCarthy / Johansson / SheehanElvis / Joey / Hughes / Jasede Vries / Hume I've dropped Stearman because despite playing well, he does often get caught out at right back. Attacking wise, he's excellent, but he needs to maintain greater concentration throughout a game. Also, we need balance, and Sheehan would provide that with Jase down the left. Hughes for Williams, as the former is the better player and is more consistent. Elvis on the right in place of Sylla, who will provide more pace and perhaps more effectiveness.
Bert Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Jase is gonna score 4! Jase couldn't score in a brothel
Scow Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Jase couldn't score in a brothel I'm liking the witty response.
Thracian Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Not bad on paper, that. It's different to the one I picked but the idea's the same with a well-balanced 4-4-2. Looks nice and solid with pace, commitment and variety. I'm just assuming Sheehan's pretty good from reading general opinions cos I've not seen him play, hence not picking him in my own line up. Can't see it happening though cos Sheehan seems to have slipped right off the podium just lately.
Steven Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 City: Douglas Maybury Dublin Johansson Sheehan Sylla Williams Gudjonsson Hughes de Vries Hammond Subs: Kisnorbo McCarthy Hume Henderson Wilcox.
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Good to see Sheehan start, and also wise choice to put Dion in the back I feel. Hammond and De Vries is interesting, I just hope Hammond finds his scoring boots today, because if he does he could get quite a few this season. Nice to see Hughes back too, although it seems like he will struggle to do the whole game.
Nationwider Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Interesting side. Glad to see he's not forgotten about Sheehan. Lokking at the bench, we have decent strength in depth. We should have too much quality and experience for Sheff Wed today. Home win, please Craig!
stulcfc Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 come on leicester lets go all out to get the 3 points today
Steven Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 come on leicester lets go all out to get the 3 points today I'm sure they will.
Anish Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Good to see Sheehan back in the reckoning. I hope he does well, because we need a natural LB who is reliable and won't get skinned at every opportunity. Also glad that Hughes is back, shame it's as a left midfielder. Finally, good move that Dublin is back in defence, that area of our game has been poor all season and hopefully he will be able to organise the defence today.
