40% possession, Bruno hat trick, and a Cahill header from a Colazo cross. 4 0. The way it should have been all along.

                    Caceras

              Timmy.     Bruno

Just shows how strong our starting XI and subs could be, (Brandan for Arzani when his suspension is over)

Hi all, 

Been a city fan for a while but has always been incredibly difficult for me to get to games but I am finally going to my first game this friday. Any general tips to ensure i have a good time or anything you guys think I should know before I go?

Thanks and go city!!

Get to the Mt View for a drink and introduce yourself to a few other fans pre-game. Always helps to know people when you go.

Take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. 

IS THIS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO?

If yes make sure you have a good support network in place and good luck. Don't forget to try a Bratwurst.

Malik and jakobsen good to go week apparently, doubt both will start but to have them both back will be great 

Best possible news for a new coach.  Means he can pretty much select what he thinks is his best team and formation for this game.  And we'll see what he's wanting to do.  Players surely will be up for this, they will want to make sure they are in his plans.

Bring Cheezels. Get a sausage from the sausage stand. Bring a friend or two. We could use the numbers.

Looks like Chapman will be gone this window.

 

As Valkanis has said he will continue JVS' style of play, I expect 3 at the back as usual, with 2 goals conceded.

You predicting a 4-3-3 @bt50??

 

Yeh i think so given we have defensive stock back. If we go 3-4-3 then bring Caceres in for Tongyik. Sorensen for Bouzanis a distinct possibility although i reckon Valk will keeo Bouzanis in.

Pretty confident we'll brain them this week tbh. 2 or 3 nil with our best performance since the first derby. Touch wood.

It's exactly a year since we re-signed Retre, Chapman, Clisby and Melling until the end of 2017-18.

Clisby and Melling already gone, Chapman at the bottom of the list for defensive choices. Some of our decision-making has been truly terrible.

Not really. Clisby and Melling's contracts were immediately bought out by WSW and Chapman and Retre have both played roles this year, despite both presumably being paid low wages.

Re Chapman, that was my thought too when I saw him omitted.  He's been seemingly untouchable for weeks (untouchable as in bargepole rather than brilliant...).  Just interested to see who comes in, as I imagine that some of these deals will have been set up for a while.

                Sorensen

Franjic.  Jakobsen  Tongyik  Muscat

              Malik          Kilkenny

Bruno.           Brattan.       Colazo

                      Cahill

I'm a Gooner after all - 4-2-3-1 in my blood. Cahill and Bruno to float and swap positions and Kamau first cab off the rank if we need more speed. More defensive than above but I'm sick of gifting goals to the opposition. Time to tighten up at the back.

Off to CCM apparently.
