2-2 full time NRC scores winner in 113min

3-0 Villa.

 

Hopefully a full 90 min for Stu.

Going to try I different tact since it's a cup game and say we will won in extra time!

 

Back to saying nowt on Saturday

I fancy us for a good cup run........

This would be a good opportunity for Coyle to keep his nice guy card and drop those who needed to be dropped.

 

For example, he could change the backline to: Gardner, Wheater, Cahill, Steinsson - if we perform well, he can leave the players in as a "reward" for the next league match and push on from there. It's a bit of a cop out, but it might just work.

2-1 Villa

 

Bolton to take the lead early

 

146 hardy Bolton suppoorters there

Kakuta to start?

Blobby 'the court jester' Blake to make an appearance?

Tuncay, Petrov and SKD on the bench according to Iles.

Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Cahill, Eagles, Muamba, Holden, Gardner, Pratley, Kakuta, Ngog

 

Subs: Jaaskelainen, Robinson, Tuncay, Petrov, K Davies, M Davies, Blake

Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Cahill, Eagles, Muamba, Holden, Gardner, Pratley, Kakuta, Ngog

 

Subs: Jaaskelainen, Robinson, Tuncay, Petrov, K Davies, M Davies, Blake

Sounds like 4-4-2 with Pratley just off of Ngog.

I can only hope that Gardner has a blinder and convinces Coyle to give him a go at left back.

 

I have seen enough of Robinson playing shadow puppets this season to last me a lifetime.

How far have we come when thats our second string and only Cahill keeps his place

Not sure if that IS our second string, or whether it's our new first string being trialed?

Was going to say the same and a lot of fans would say it's their choice. Good thing if Prately is up top he will naturally drop into midfield when we don't have the ball and give us a more solid look

 

COYWM

believe commentary is on gmr and tower

 

Can this be listened to (legally) online???

dunno

 

my eyes/common sense may deceive me but that looks like 1 up top

 

I can't imagine Pratley playing that role

 

for me

 

could this be the change in tactics we've been waiting for?

 

Bogdan,

 

Steinsson, Wheater, Cahill, Gardner

 

Muamba, Holden

 

Eagles, Pratley, Kakuta

 

Ngog

Will be pratley up front

 

Well that's where coyle will tell him to play anyway

Muamba

 

Eagles, Holden, Pratley, Kakuta

Ngog

He played it pretty well in a pre-season game IIRC. He looked the best midfielder going forwards on Saturday too.

Cahill captain.

Very happy with that lineup. Still expecting defeat as Villa have a strong side out, but I think that's something similar to what I'd put out if I were Coyle, and decided to play 4-4-2 obviously.

 

Excited to see Gardner given a shot at full back for the first time since Big Sam?

Any streams?

Anybody who believes Gardner is a better defensively than robbo is living in a dreamworld

you know the rules.. or at least you should Liam

 

no feeds on here

Any streams?

 

dont cross the streams it would be bad
