J. James Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 The good thing is that we have players who have experience of the sort of possible scenario we have here.... The bad thing is it's Vestergaard and Bertrand..... Oh dear... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the receiving end of a 6-0 defeat. Alan Woollett played at centre-half. Goals by Neil Young (2), Francis Lee (2), Tommy Doyle and Alan Oakes did the damage. Let's hope that there's no repeat of that scoreline on Boxing Day! Exactly a month before that game was City's impressive 5-1 win at The Dell, including Peter Shilton's goal. I was at the Dell for that match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 Hope we win although it's an on form man city and our recent play has been interesting. Expecting a pasting to be honest followed up by a second slapping by liverpool. Watch us win both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_favourite Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 (edited) Thinking about the defence we could potentially have to put out in might say 6-0, or as going forward we look okay, 7-1? All our 1st team defenders potentially injured, our only options being Vestergaard and Ndidi with Bertrand on the wing back/full back position scares the living daylights out of me against a Man City team full of talent. It’s not going be a pretty watch. Good luck to those who go! Edited 26 December 2021 by fox_favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_favourite Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 So am I right in saying these players are potentially unavailable due to Covid/injury/AFCON for this game: Soyuncu, Ricardo, Castagne, Evans, Justin, Fofana, Barnes, Vardy, Amartey (AFCON), Choudhury, Ward. Apparently Daka felt something towards the end of the last game? Anyone I’ve missed? We might have to play some of Leicester Ladies at this rate!

Claudio Fannieri Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 It is almost laughable to think what our line up is going to look like and yet the premier league within all its decision making yet again fails to consider the fans who dispense with their hard earned cash to travel and watch the supposedly most exciting league In the world, when in reality in recent weeks and more to come we will be watching a mix of fringe players and u23’s with team selections more likely to resemble a pre season friendly against the Dog & Duck …..farcical situation but guarantee the fans won’t be compensated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castange & Evans were due to be back in training after the Liverpool game according to Rodgers but probably not fit enough to start or worth risking. Not sure about Amartey as Rodgers said players had not gone to AFCON yet, so no idea if he was injured or still recovering from Covid Edited 26 December 2021 by turlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Col city fan Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 (edited) The ACON is going to absolutely decimate this squad this season. Wilf, Big Dan, Soumare? All off for a whole month! Edited 26 December 2021 by Col city fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattolcfc Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 To be fair, we’re down to such a threadbare squad, we may as well rest up our first teamers for the next two games as we’re going to get beat anyway. No point risking any more injuries and then start a fresh in the new year. Put out the U23’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
