City Team(s) v Bath

Two teams again today:-
First-half XI: Moore, Gunnarsson, Fabio, Kiss, Connolly, Turner, Whittingham, Macheda, Daehli, Guerra, Eikrem.
Second-half XI: Lewis; Brayford, John, Hudson, KTC; Ralls, Mutch, Burgstaller, Le Fondre, Mason, Berget.

Methinks Kenwyne may have been one of the unfit returnees and is out of favour! No Caulker or Campbell for obvious reasons but interesting he's having a look at Kiss.

Interesting on several fronts...

Gunnarsson at RB?
Filip Kiss is back....   , but :redcard: (waiting to happen)
KTC at CB as at Carmarthen
No Kenwyne Jones or Velcro to be seen
No Cala (injured?)

Be interesting to see how Macheda & Guerra go together....Le Fondre & Mason could be a tasty partnership......both intelligent & instinctive finshers.

no Marshall,?

Breaking news - Fist Kiss Campaign re-energised.

How are the first half team lining up?
Fabio and Connolly as fullback, with Turner and Kiss in the middle? Or Gunns as full back?

Final score 1-1 (Berget). Played part of the second half with 10 men rather than bring a sub on. Moore played the whole game in goal.

Interesting - apparently Marshall picked up a muscle tweak - no news on Jones and Velcro.

Terry from WalesOnline claimed to speak to the Cardiff staff at the match. They claimed there's nothing suspicious regarding Marshall's absence - Ole just wanted a chance to see what the other keepers were capable of. Moore made a good impression. Macheda and Guerrera look a good pairing too with our Spanish steal looking particularly exciting with his movement - I'll excuse the sitter he managed to put over the bar as pre season rust.

Also, hilariously, some 'fans' are now calling for Ole to be sacked, as apparently drawing against Bath in a pre season friendly is the last straw.

Last week some 'fans' were predicting relegation because we only won by 3-0. I wonder if most of the internet clowns actually understand the game.

Yeah, I was hoping we got rid of all the bandwagon fans upon our demotion, but apparently some hung around. They are going to have to adjust to championship life quickly, a league so evenly matched that anyone can beat anyone on the day. They would of spontaneously combusted if they learnt Peterborough did the double over us in the season they were relegated and we were top of the league.

What the hell!? I'm off to support Swansea City while wearing a Liverpool shirt...   

Makes a change from a dress.

I agree that the fans saying Ole should go are a little bit silly, but I do think that we need to start showing something pretty soon. It would be nice to into the season having seen a few really good wins, and more importantly, a few really good performances.
