Team for Bristol City

That team will get overran by the best in the league. If you're going to start Roberts, you're going to need more defensive minded wingbacks.
 
Looking at Warnock's latest statement , the suggestion is that Assombalonga will possibly not be ready for the Tuesday game but might make next weekend.

Stating the obvious, Boro need a striker. Has Alan Peacock still got his boots? He would have at least as much influence on games as Britt is having currently.

I think Captain Peacock from ‘are you being served’ would do no worse than Assombalonga.
 
anyone think we have cash to sign free agents?

I wouldn’t bother with Johnny Foreigner this time.
Se need somebody ‘good to go’.
There are a few out there but maybe too expensive currently.
If they REALLY still want to play they might do a bonus deal.
Games played, position in league, play off spot etc.
Hey if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

Lets not leave it unit the last 20 minutes though eh Bausor?.
Get cracking !
 
Think I will stick with watching it on the boro site rather than red button but if Maddo starts to do me head in it’s good to know I can put it on the red button instead 😂
...... or you could just press mute, unless you don't want to miss out on the atmosphere of the crowd ..... 😉
 
Think it will be...

......................Bettinelli
..........Dijksteel...Fry...McNair
Spence...................................Johnson
.....Morsy...Howson...Saville
...................Tavernier
.....................Akpom


Would like to see...

.....................Bettinelli
Dijksteel...Fry...McNair...Bola
.............Morsy...Howson
...Tavernier...Roberts...Johnson
.....................Akpom


They'll be execting us to set up as we have done the first 5 games. A change in formation might just spring a surprise. Even if we only get an hour out of Roberts, we can always bring Browne or Coulson on, or Saville if we need to tighten things up.
 
Would love to see Coulson get a start if he is fit and healthy, one of the few positives from last season, gives us a bit more creativity and aggression going forward

I want to see the second team you have now. Have changed my mind last night.
 
Saville for Roberts
Johnson for Assombalonga

I think we need to start playing with only 1 striker unless we sign a free agent.

Yeah it’s getting that way isn’t it. There was a point in Saturday when Akpom went down and my heart sank as I was worrying we were literally gonna have no strikers.
 
I can't see us risking Britt tomorrow, so its going tohave to be one up front. Wonder if he'd be tempted to keep the same formation and play Browne alongside Akpom? Don't think he wants to rush Roberts.

Possibly, I have heard chatter he might see Coulson as an option for the role. I don’t see that myself mind. Would prefer to just change formation and play players where they feel comfortable. Then again, Coulson would just be grateful for a game at the moment.
 
if Britt is out which looks likely, i would go 4-3-2-1

Bettinelli

Djksteel McNair Fry Bola

Howson Morsy Saville

Tav Roberts

Akpom

still a solid midfield and let Tav & Roberts buzz around Akpom, Browne and/or Coulson to come on if they get tired
