Sammy Lee's Bolton v Peter Puppies' City... The Match Thread

[TANGODANCER]

Chungy must be really out of form. Surprised a young lad like Sordell can't handle two games in a week ahead of Afobe. Knight just has to be injured.

[Verbal]

As per LGM tango, it's possible that Sordell still hasn't really recovered from what went on in Serbia, mentally anyway.

------------------Boggers
Ricketts----Knight----Ream-----Warnock
------------Spearing---Mavies
Lee---------------Eagles-------------Petrov
--------------------Ngog


Could have Eagles on the wing with Mavies in the hole and someone else alongside Spearing.

i love the way coyle going makes people believe that playing eagles mavis and petrov together will work. Might do against a poor team but against a decent team seems dodgy.
Not sure how long it wil take ream to build enough confidence to play ch again either.

If we do play one up top it should be NGog IMO because he is mobile and can hold the ball/draw fouls.No he wont score....
Play eagles behind him. Andrews and Spearing in midfield. Would love to see cyl back but not so sure re petrov. Not because I dont think he will perform well going forward. Just not sure who will attack his crosses or whether he will contribute when we dont have the ball.

So for me
Riley Ricketts Knight Warnock
CYL Spearing Andrews Alonso/Petrov?
Eagles
NGog
Could most likely get away with playing Petrov at home to Bristol I suspect.

Not sure what to expect from the new shortterm managers.
442 with KD and NGog up top would not be a surprise.Given the opposition it may be perfectly adequate aswell.

Well, I was basing it on our most successful line up in terms of results and performances which was around January last year. I believe Eagles, Petrov and Mavies were all in that side. We are without NRC and Muamba and Wheater, but have CYL available, so I've accounted for that. So it has worked before.

Hey it's only opinions it could be very entertaining. You are right to point out we are missing MRC Moo and wheater from that team and I'm not sure the inclusion of LCY really counterbalances that. Mind you we arent playiong a prem team. My major doubt is whether you can play a team where only spearing and to a lesser degree LYC are capable of contributing anything useful when we dont have the ball. Some weeks might run up a cricket score(well maybe not) others we'd get mullered for sure.

Ah well, as always I'll settle for COME ON YOU WHITES.

[Ianmooreslovechild]

I feel sorry for the amount of covering Jay Spearing is going to have to do.

It's the walnut whip formationsomething old and whizzened up top an exterior incapable of dealing with heat and a centre so soft and light you hardly notice your teeth cutting through it. Ream and Mills will sort it though! I do hope Bristol are shite.
Just aswell coyle hasnt picked this one!

poor team

[Tals-biggest-fan]

Funny how announcing a team can dampen the spirit....

[as]

Knight arrived at 1.45 today, I assume he got dropped for turning up late, good way to impress the new gaffer(s)!

Mate works on the turnstile and saw him outside.

[Loyal White]

Worried about our midfield... 3 luxury players and spearing.

I hope we have a lot of the ball, put it that way!

If that's true I hope they fine the dozy bugger.

[Whookam]

1-0 down

[cecil.bob]

Do we have any streams for this? Love to see it...

[TANGODANCER]

1-0 down in four minutes. That's a start then.

[Tals-biggest-fan]

Lee/Phillips out.

[plymouth wanderer]

fvck sake

[bristolwanderer]

Oh my...

[Dr.Karl]

If Coyle picked that team they'd be murder. Murder I tell you. Seems a very poor selection to me.

Edit just seen we're one down!

It's a shocking team.

[cecil.bob]

No rush for a new manager. None. COYWM!!!

[Ianmooreslovechild]

hahahahhahhaha
Still early plenty time to get up a head of steam. Cant believe we conceded with so many quality defensive players in the team
