Bristol City (H) Build Up thread

[Boozad]

Bound to be a couple of changes and probably a start for Cav. I'd leave the back three as is, maybe N'Diaye for Saiss if he needs the rest and anybody for Marshall. Doubt I'll be up town up time for beer beforehand but I'll try.

and anybody for Martial. .

Late signing?

 

[slink]

Marshall out for me, Cav or Bright to come in but i wouldn't change anything else. The players look fitter than any Wolves side i've ever seen and can cope with playing Sat/Tue especially when we have the ball for 70% of the game and sit off when we don't have it. Alfred looked decent yesterday but the midfield 2 have to play and as good as Neves is Saiss has been better than him so far in the games i've seen.

Whoops.

Totally agree about the midfield pairing, Neves and Saiss are probably the best central pairing in the league. Their mobility, tackling, passing and vision are quality. I wouldn't change them myself but could see it happening.

Can anybody remember a player who has made such a transformation for Wolves as Saiss has? Personally, I wanted him to be sold before the start of the season.

I don't think he's made that much of a transformation to be fair but he now has players around him that he can pass to and a coach who rates him. I said numerous times last season he was quality but when he was basically playing central midfield on his own with players running off from him and a coach who didn't know how to play him or trust him it was impossible. Has he taken the chance towards the end yesterday it would have been as good as Costa's against Cardiff last season for me as the first bit of skill was ridiculous.

Coady spunking 40 yards balls on to a target the size of a gnat is a beautiful thing ;-)

I must admit when I saw them live I thought it must have been Neves :nod:

 

[Trips]

Have just bought my tickets for this. Coming up in the afternoon, just need to decide whether to drive or get train up.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Hopefully Cav will start. Though he seems out of favour for some reason. He only got a few minutes yesterday.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not so much out of favour, he is predominantly a number 10 (we aren't playing one) or a left sided forward (Jota is there and has been easily our best attacker). He isn't as good on the right. He'll just have to wait.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Would have no worries about playing Ronan on the right instead of Marshall (who I doubt is ready for another start only days after the game). Really influenced the Soton game positively from that position

 

[Carrotdude]

Cav for Marshall gives us more attacking threat and more end product, hopefully that's what happens. Hoping for another 3 points, no reason why we can't win this one.

 

[YoungWolf]

It wouldn't surprise me if Cav started for either of Bonatini or Jota, as both took a bit of a battering I thought by Millwall defenders. Diogo is more robust so probably copes with it fine.

Bright for Marshall and other than that I think we will see the same team unless Douglas is fit.

 

[Dinowolf]

It depends on fitness for me, if everyone from Saturday is fit then I'd probably play the same team, bearing in mind that we have another game on Sat. away at Forest.

Nuno may put Neves (he's only 20) and Marshall on the bench and play N'diaye and Ronan.

 

[Lord Knows]

With the energy requirements of the wing back positions plus recovery time I might change Douglas for Venegre and N'diaye for Doherty, both have the engines to get up and down throughout.

 

[Norman Deeley]

I was wondering about N'Diaye as RWB - do people think that's a long term possibility?
