Guest LucaAltieri Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 0-0. We'll battle like crazy at the back and have next to nothing going forward.... and I'd be happy with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 If Jonas is fit then it's a no brainer. Without i expect to see; Given Beye Coloccini Taylor Enrique Butt Guthrie Geremi N'Zogbia Duff Martins Which i won't be ashamed with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 A 0-0 would look pretty disappointing, but thinking realistically, i'd probably take it. A clean sheet would probably do a lot for confidence, especially against a powerful attacking outfit like Manchester City. I know - we've come off the back of a good performance and it really is an opportunity to kick on now, but we do have nothing upfront (with no goals coming from midfield either), so we can't be expecting miracles in that department. A decent-performance and a zip-zip would represent an improvement, basically. City are a class side and we've lost three games on the bounce at home, which is plain crap. Confidence is absolutely vital going into the derby game, and a good performance here will be a catalyst for a really spirited game at the Mackems. Not forgetting, there's two very winnable games after that against the Brummies (x2). (Have i exceeded the fixture closure limit, there? ) I'd be very pleased with Draw-Draw-Win-Win from the next four, tbh. I'll go for 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm going to be bold and predict we'll win 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poxy line-up from an attacking sense, but it'd be very nice having Martins, Xisco, Jonas (and Bassong for that matter) on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Im looking forward to this game,if we can manage a win it could really kick start our season again.The league is so tight at the moment,if we could go on a little run,we could be back up in top 8.Not expecting it to be honest.But our next few games are winable and I think City are weak enough at the back.If we could at least bring Oba off the bench for half an hour and not play Shola could see us winning this.

Fatwax Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 An unexpected win could get us out of the relegation zone and kickstart our season. I don't expect it, but it's not impossible.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? Home game, at least we have a manager in place, any home game against a team outside the top 4 is winnable no matter the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 What does people think the attendance will be for this? I'm expecting Man City to sell all their tickets and for the attendance to be around 48,000 . 2-2 Final score Blackburn was 44,935 & that was not shown on TV & was on a Saturday but Man City will bring more..................46,000.

Well... i suppose. But with some of the players they've got, if we have an 'off' day (well, an average one), then we could make them look like a sensational team. I do fear them, put it that way.

Without i expect to see; Given Beye Coloccini Taylor Enrique Butt Guthrie Geremi N'Zogbia Duff Martins Which i won't be ashamed with. Looks reasonable. I doubt Martins will start, though. Probably Xisco or (heaven help me) Shola starting instead of Martins. I don't expect much, but a win would get looking up again, so I'm really hoping for three points.

Ashley17 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'd say it's obvious from comments in the media that JFK prefers Shola to Xisco. I'd assume Martins will be on the bench at best, by the comments on NUFCTV I wouldn't expect Jonas to be involved and there's been no mention of Enrique. No idea where the goals are going to come from if we are to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
