Team on Saturday

Need to start a few different players after Derby.
But and it's a big but.
Will Neil Warnock leave Aron Gunnarsson out of the starting team?
I know it's not all down to Gunnarsson but I believe if he plays him our midfield will suffer and we will not get the win.
Grujic for me. But i think Warnock will go with Gunnarsson again!
Really hope that we do win and will happily be proved wrong if we do and Gunnarsson plays.
Come on city two wins please!!!!!

Hell will freeze over before Warnock drops Gunnarsson!

Bruno cannot be played at full back - he's a liability there. Whether he should be centre half ahead of Bamba? Not now I don't think although Sol has been poor for the last couple of games though I'm not sure he's 100% fit.

For me it would be

Etheridge
Peltier
Sol
Morrison
Bennett
Bryson
Grujic
Paterson
Ralls
Hoilett
Ken

Agree.

He wont drop Gunner but I just hope he doesn't try and put Grujic and Gunner together again, that was a disaster

Etheridge
Pelts/Jazz Morrison Bamba Bennett

Grujic Ralls
Patterson

NML Zohore Hoilett

That should be the team. Its critical that we win. Huge fan of Gunners but he was out on his feet for the last 20 minutes against Derby.

Agree re AG mate. That was the reason Derby werr cutting through us like a hot knife through butter for that 20 mins. I know defenders did mistakes but constant pressure leads to mistakes imho.

My Team

ETHERIIDGE
PELTIER - MANGA - MORRISON - BENNET

RALLS - BAMBA - BRYSON

NML ZOHORE HOILETT

You have to go with the tried and tested for the next two games.This is no time for experiments.
The only other formation i would be tempted to try is the one with Bamba as the defensive midfielder. Hull score a lot of there goals from balls through the centre not from the wings.

Etheridge

Richards Bamba Morrison Bennett

Ralls Grujic Patterson

Mendez Zahore Hoilett

Subs: Murphy Manga Harris Pilkington Gunnarsson Damour Madine

Leave enough on the bench to change the game and if needs be even a suprise like Kadeem Harris if he is needed.

Etheridge
Pelts/Jazz Morrison Bamba Bennett

Grujic Ralls
Patterson

I’d take that with Pelts starting. Strong line up!

I Believe our strongest starting 11 is all finally fit now.

I think this would be us at our best defensively, we would have our most dynamic midfield, Grujic's strength, height and passing ability cannot be underestimated, Paterson once again the other night proved he is vital for adding goals to the team from midfield. We then have bags of pace upfront between our 3 creative players and I feel they are the trio that compliment the hard working midfield the most.

The only lack of pace, if any, is in the defence but none of them are exactly slouch's and will all give a good run against attackers.

We start this XI and I believe we will have incentive to attack, we can get at both Hull and Reading by attacking from minute one and put them under the pressure that we sustained in the second half against Derby.

Slightly negative don't you think?
Also, I think we look lost without wide men.

The thinking was... Richards and Bennett more freedom in the channels... Grujic to be playmaker and actually pass the ball rather than hoof... Ralls and Bryson to provide the energy pressing when without the ball... Jnr to feed off Big Ken as I do think he needs a partner up front. When he’s on his own he just gives the ball away. Patterson however is the key... great engine (when he’s not on his arse) good in the air and can also feed off both a Hoilett and Zohore.
