Bristol City Starting XI on Tuesday Night

[mmarkie]

how the hell are so many of you picking Oakley, he is fooking shocking and has been his entire time hear, we got away with it last season as League One was so shit, more often then not when he gets the ball he gives it away

Pearson will pick him cause he's the fooking captain, that's the problem.

Same could be said about King.

[Jimmy]

Same could be said about King.

King doesn't give it away anywhere near as much as Oakley, as for thee captaincy, said it for a while, give it to Hobbs full time

[Bert]

Not at this stage in his career, especially when we have the likes of, Brown, Wellens, Howard, Berner who are vastly experienced. King gave the ball away much more than Oakley yesterday.

by all means have Brown do it until the end of the season (or he's dropped for a returning Tunch)

King may have been as bad yesterday but for the season as a whole so far he retains the ball much better, just which he'd choose to/be allowed to shoot from distance more often, he has the ability to score out of nothing because of it, yet is either choosing not to or having that part of his game withheld from him (and by extension us)

[Bert]

That's another one of our problems. We try walking the ball in. Wellens, King and Oakley can all hit a ball well, so why don't they ever try?

[Jimmy]

it HAS to be instructions from the manage, same with Dyer, the most left sided player in the history of left wingers ever (slight exaggeration) constantly cutting inside or just playing on the right.

when we gave Dyer the chance to run with the ball on the left he gave Gunter a few issues to deal with, but obviously the Forest winger helped him out in some sort of revolutionary tactic

[Spiritwalker]

Even though I've always rated Oakley I must admit he's been poor lately. I would like to see how he plays in the middle

before dropping him.

I can't see NP making too many changes in defence because we don't have many options, Morrison could come in for

one of the c.b's but I hope not at r.b because he is not a right back. Do we have any good full backs coming through?

N'Guessan and Adams probably deserve a start and I wouldn't mind seeing Gallagher get a start up front.

we saw Oakley/Wellens earlier this season, they were ineffective and constantly wanted to be in the same place, plus Oakley would keep going missing hence King was recalled

Oakley and Wellens would suit me for Tuesday night.....

[Legend_in_blue]

All I ask for is that we put players in the positions that they are accustomed to and are comfortable playing in.

If it means putting Dyer and N'Guessan on the wings and two from Wellens/Oakley/King, then so be it.

I'd go with Waghorn and Kermo up front. Fryatt on the bench at best imo.

O'Neil is a good young player.

Doubt highly he will be chucked in for the Bristol game though.

Oakley Morrison Hobbs Dyer

Gradel King Wellens Gallacher

Kermorgant Waghorn

Oakley's legs have gone but we don't have an able right back so I'm sure he can do a better job than the useless Scot, and didn't Dyer do a decent job at left back last season for a few games?

[Sods]

That's another one of our problems. We try walking the ball in. Wellens, King and Oakley can all hit a ball well, so why don't they ever try?

Agree with all of that, apart from Wellens, I think he has dreadful strike on him. But your right we do need to stop looking for the perfect goal.

[teblin]

I was thinking the same today. The only player who has a shot from distance is gallagher.

[Bluefoxtim]

How did you not make it into top-flight management?

[Lichfieldfox.]

Bristol will not be worried at all. I sat next to the Bristol City assessor and he left 15 mins before the end.

Against forest we defended to flat and deep. We were narrow in midfield and had no creativity. We failed to work as a unit. Whilst I would not be opposed to wholesale changes I think we need to keep an element of a spine in the team despite the spineless performance. I'd recall Gradel however that is unlikely to happen so:

Weale

Morrison - Hobbs - Brown - Berner

Gallagher - King - Wellens - Dyer

Kermorgant - Waghorn

Subs: Oakley Fryatt McGivern Adams Logan Howard N'Guessen

NGuessan/Dyer

Gallagher/Fryatt

Got to play players in their correct position. Fryatt needs to work harder for his place. Need a win after this shocking performance against Forest. spot on why pay a million for a striker and never play him as one

[Bryn]

Last match I got to was WBA and when we finally woke up late on and started creating chances Gallagher was playing deep and central and making the play quite nicely. To those who go regularly, is this an option?

[Guest Mee-9]

I'm definately ringing up Radio Leicester tonight.

[RowlattsFox]

I wouldn't be suprised to see Pearson send out the same team and hope he gets a response from them, I hope it doesn't but I wouldn't rule it out.

No doubt Neilson will be the one from the defence to miss out if they're changes, even though I didn't think he was any worse than Berner, Hobbs and Brown but our lack of options suggest that those 3 will keep there place. Bristol City have Maynard and Haynes upfront, so therey're going to have the same problems with pace.

Dyer

Kermogant/Gallagher

Waghorn

Subs:

Logan, Neilson, McGivern, Adams, King, Kermogant/Gallagher, Fryatt

Would rather see Adams then Dyer but I don't think theres much chance of that happening. either Yann or Gallgher up with Waghorn, think both could work quite well.
