Evening all!  Just got back from a nice Cod and Chips meal at a very nice eating place here. It's the wife's birthday today so we enjoyed that with a bottle of Weston's Vintage 8.2% very tasty. All I need now to make the day, is a City win, I'm predicting a score draw 1 - 1 or even 2 - 2 but would love another away win. So COYR's

Pring has been pretty poor recently and wouldn't want Weimann out wide, so happy enough with that, even if Wells had a good game on Saturday. Delighted to see Williams in the side.

Disappointed about there being no O'Dowda or Semenyo on the bench, not sure if O'Dowda is still not ready and I wonder if Semenyo is injured. But certainly some flair and pace there to bring on.

I assume it's 352. I wonder if Bakinson could actually be the more advanced in a 3412, with a very solid Williams and James in the double pivot, or could it be the system of last season with Bakinson sitting deep with James and Williams box to box.

 

Pretty poor or just not quite as good as his early games?

O’Dowda was in the 18 Saturday…..still wondering what Nige meant last week when he said “some perceive him to be a first teamer” (words to that effect, but definitely used the word perceive).  Does that mean he doesn’t have the same view.  I’d be surprised bearing in mind he started this season, but thought it was an interesting use of words.  Of course he might have picked up a niggle in training, and nothing more than that.

Me too, but Nige is good at surprising me….could be another 442, just to keep us on our toes!

Obviously vyner is just not being selected at the moment as we have 3 right backs but does everyone reckon semenyo is injured or not being selected . 

Semenyo has a knock (Fleming confirmed) that they saw little point in risking.

Would prefer some end product over that to be honest.

Dear ET - I like your posts but if you mention cod, please get it right.  It’s a Cod Lot, not cod and chips. This may seem pedantic, but we have standards to maintain on the forum.

Ha Ha I do know, but unfortunately here in Estonia although lot's speak English ( I don't mean Cod) they don't understand krek Bristle. So if I ordered a Cod Lot, I would be waiting for ever.

Back 3 of Ballard, Hutchinson and M.Wallace, wingbacks McNamara (very tidy) and Malone.  A midfield 3 in some shape or form with Ojo, Saville and Evans. The City old boys up top (Afobe and Smith).

So glad Jed Wallace not starting, nor Jake Cooper.

Millwall fans think it’s a 4-4-2 so have to wait and see. Malone left midfield

1920, I think, due to the Newport goalie being pelted with missiles and receiving a right hook. Not much change then!

I know it's not related to Millwall, but it did make me laugh…

"Football hooliganism dates back to 1349, when football originated in England during the reign of King Edward III.  When villages played one another, the villagers main goal involved kicking the ball into their rival’s church.  King Edward banned the game as it distracted his subjects and caused constant social unrest."

Takes me back to my days working at Lloyds and trips to London to see IT colleagues.

Sampson House?

Company I worked for, made redundant, went back contracting as they had no one to do my job,  supplied a   managed voice Comms service and I spent most of my time between London, Brum, Edinburgh and of course Bristol. 

Thankfully retired about 14 years ago.

Selection a tad harsh on Wells, maybe? Thought he had a decent game v Fulham and looked ready for a start tonight.

Also share Dave's slight confusion re COD, among other things. Did NP not refer to him back in the summer as a very important player for us in the coming season?

And as for Semenyo, who knows?

Not that I'm unhappy with the line-up. Just curious, really, as to the underlying thinking.

Maybe I could describe him as below average. I think his levels have dropped a lot in recent games but thought he was quality in games before that. He also doesn't seem as naturally fit as some others and might struggle to play 3 games in a week.

fair

To be fair to him   in the QPR game at left wing back he was not helped by Baker not really offering what Kalas offered Tanner going forward on the other side.

Pearson did say O'Dowda is a key player for us. I think what he meant by what you say is that he has to prove himself to get into this side.

I think so too, just surprised he isn't retained in the 18...maybe two LB/LWBs negates the need?

I'd not have him in once back fit if Pring is raises his levels again consistently. I also think Semenyo should really be pushing for a start.

When we add in Massengo and Scott who have both shown they can be decent in wide areas, it is a good problem to have with so many options.

yep, strong if not quite natural

If it is a type of 352 tonight then it's Dasilva who has won a place in the side over Pring, and I agree with that as Dasilva is in decent form.

I thought Bakinson might be dropped but with Williams and James in it could really help Bakinson to do what he's good at, rather than playing in a 2 in a compact 442 where he has so much to do off the ball, especially with our low possession.

yep, big opportunity for "T".

If my memory is right, we must be fairly unusual getting to the tenth game with every result bring a draw + or - 1. Think it’s only the Reading game where there has ever been more than one goal between the sides in play. No reason to expect different tonight.

So 5-2 us, Smith and Adobe for them just because.

The poor standard def red button picture doesn’t help

Neither do the floodlights - night games are always worse I find.

After we played Boro (Black v Red in a night game) I emailed the club and SC&T to see if they'd take UEFA's colourblind kit guidance into consideration when choosing next season's away/third kits. I've been told it's been brought to the clubs attention.
