Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Did we know Ayala was injured? It must have been a last minute thing because surely we would have pulled wood from the youth squads game last night if we did? Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,679 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Worried about that defence. Two full backs who look pretty devoid of confidence, a returning Fry (again quite a quiet player) and Shotton. Rest of the team looks fine to me. Just the defence without Ayala, he is our rock, we will definitely miss him in both boxes for headers. do they have any big lads? Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A back four that has never played today isn't what we need away at Bristol C... Shotton is so bad that I would rather sacrifice McNair from the midfield and play him in defence. This season Shotton has given up at least one major goalscoring chance per game... complete liability at centre half. Lets hope the effort and attitude are spot on and we can spring a suckerpunch or two on them going forward! Link to post Share on other sites

mendieta420 988 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Said to a friend the other day without Ayala we'd be in a relegation fight this year and this happens.. Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 610 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Happy enough with that line up, if you swap Ayala and Howson for Shotton and Clayton I think we have our strongest 11 Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 484 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Worrying that there is no Ayala and Howson has been key this season so far. Hoping it clicks. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ok apologies but I’m in Berlin airport which my flight is delayed which means two things a) I’ll miss the match on tele and 2) I will spend a lot longer in the lounge with free G&T than anticipated so sorry for what I may post ?

diggerlad07 3,651 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Nice see Fry as captain - Hopefully 1 of many occasions this season to build confidence and put more £ on his head! I really really worry about that defence though against a very offensive Bristol City team. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Uwe.....6 foot = 180cm......every 10 cm above = 2.5 inches.....gets close enough to give rough idea..... Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ah crap I missed Howson was out ? Shame, he's been really good. Link to post Share on other sites

Cheer OC ? i was being slightly facetious (read my airport post for context) but being a solid 175cm anything else seems excessive ? Link to post Share on other sites
