RIZA MAKES THREE CHANGES: TONIGHTS TEAM NEWS

Tue Apr 08, 2025 5:46 pm

A BACK 3 + 2 WINGBACKS



Riza has gone less attacking for this one :


Omer Riza has chosen to strengthen his Defence and add some more physicality with the inclusion of both Dimitrios Goutas and Jesper Daland in a back five which also includes Andy Rinomhota, Will Fish and Callum O'Dowda.

Calum Chambers returns to midfield after missing out against QPR at the weekend, while Rubin Colwiill and Cian Ashford look like they will sit in behind Yousef Salech.

Still no Chris Willock in the matchday squad.

Must win game, four centre halves in the team….

When was the last time we played the same 11 in consecutive games, we kept a clean sheet Saturday I wouldn't have tinkered with the back line unless it was enforced due to injury or suspension

3 wingers - all in the bench. Goutas back from nowhere. Unbelievable. Playing for a point. Inviting the opposition on. Utterly ridiculous. How is Salech supposed to score?

Decent looking team. Now we need to translate that into a decent performance.
Good options on the bench with Davies and Alves. Also Bagan if a change is needed at the back.

I am going for a City win …. Lets be positive! :bluebird: :bluebird:

That's a team that's set up for another draw, when we need wins.

I don't like it.

Riza just showing us all how out of his depth he is.

Even if we somehow win, he needs to go.

Pointless having Simic miss the academy match if he’s not even used as a sub!!!

Looks like the plank is going 5-3-2 and going for another point!!!

League 1 here we come, Riza’s at the wheel

Looks OK, he's gone out trying not to conseed a goal, let's hope he gets it right, I hope he doesn't tweak it to much.

Four centre backs. Almost Mick Mccarthy mark 2

Re: RIZA MAKES THREE CHANGES: TONIGHTS TEAM NEWS

I just wish he’d know his best starting 11 and stick with it barring the odd tweak.

Yes it looks defensive but if used correctly 5 at the back can become three at the back so becomes more attacking.

The key is can Riza and the players utilise this formation correctly?
If indeed it is 5 at the back.
