Match Thread Home vs Oldham Saturday 14th August

100% this

 

1 goal and 2 assists now looks even worse if you're suggesting he plays just behind the forwards.

Leave Cooke where he is, he's streets ahead of Gillead who at the minute seems fortunate to be in the first XI

 

Absolutely right D. He’s our outlet for the front three. Why mess with something that’s not broken.

 

Agree on Cooke. Keep him higher up the pitch where he's most effective. One of Staunton, Scales, or Evans can do defensive midfield.

 

You must be a tad excited? Especially when you can wear your Liverpool top to a real football match.

 

I keep getting told Gilly is really good though

 

I know we are all feeling a bit emotional and excited about this afternoon and don't know if anyone else has seen this or not but there is a fantastic story on the bcafc hashtag on twitter. Guy called Nicholas that lives in Hawaii. Never heard of us before last year but bought a PS4 at the start of lockdown and started playing FIFA. Decided to play career mode and looked for a league 2 team to start his game. Immediately fell in love with our colours and chose us. Since then, he has become obsessed with us. Researched our history, watched old videos on You Tube, bought and had shipped shirts and other merch, and watched 90% of games on Ifollow last season. He has set his alarm for 3.45am so he can watch his first game at VP in real time with the fans present and he cannot wait. Love stories like this, reminds me of our very own Dmitry.

 

Give us a shout when you're over TB and we can have a beer at the Dolly!!

 

I think Sutton will play and Cooke will stay where he is. Failing that I think it might be Staunton & Watt in the "two"

If we don't have another defensive midfielder the lets not try to push someone into a role that doesn't suit them.

Play with Watt in front of the back four and structure the attacking players ahead of them.

We're at home for goodness sake, we don't need to be set up with so many defensive players on the pitch!

 

Good call. Maybe a diamond with two up top ?

 

Well you see unlike Bradford City @Sergio Pinto III believing everything you can’t get the Liverpool away top anyway because it’s completely sold out.

Bradford City though can pick up like toilet roll even though record sales. Amazing that!

However, no mate. I don’t wear football tops to grounds. That’s pretty sad unless you are under 15.

 

So you think Adams is playing mind games then? Because he said he won't be available until Tuesday.

 

They dont make them for people under 15 inches like you.

 

Midfield diamond.... The kryptonite of many a City fan!!

 

Are you certain that you support city Mr Fordy, even knocking the club about shirt sales now.
Its the first game back in 18 months , just enjoy the day, win , lose or draw, it should be some occcasion.

 

Love it.

 

No Rowe or McAleny now!

 

Chaps please.

Just ignore .

Most of us are City fans right?

It’s one of those special days for most of us.
