Of the two, tonights game is the one we could get a result from so the other way round for me

 

Eustace agrees with you, full strength side named including Pickering and JRC

[philipl]

Wells who always scores against us is out for City as is the dangerous Mehmeti. Conway starts and the young Scot can be a handful.

[Exiled_Rover]

Someone called Tyjon on the bench and no Gilsenan again. They must think he's shite.

I would doubt very much if there is a plan to use Tyjon at any time. He will be on the bench for the experience.

[simongarnerisgod]

whats happened to o`riordon???should be on the bench rather than bombscare billy koumetio(he`s not even our player) no telalovic or gilsenan either???

[Miller11]

Tyjon is wanted by Man City, so giving him some first team exposure is about the best way we can persuade him to stay when we can’t offer him a pro deal yet. Telalovic hasn’t proven to be much of an option so I’d rather give this lad some minutes.

Understand Gilsenan has a small knock, hence why he's not involved tonight.

Well there are no other strikers on the bench, so we're screwed when Gallagher pulls up with a calf strain again.

Think a few clubs sniffing . So like finneran.  Think it's a move to show how close can be to the squad if they stick around

Isn't there some tribunal benefits to these kids (eg. Finneran) being on the bench

The Academy game is absolutely disgusting.

City want Tyjon. Everyone wants Finneran. They're both poachable until they turn 17 and sign pro contracts. What's the actual point? The rules need to change.

It's all about the false 9, even with Gally playing!

Telalovic is ill

Gilsenan has a knock. 

O'Riordon has been playing for under 21's recently/ 

Koumetio can play left back and centre beck whilst Carter can similar at right back and centre back. You need varied options on teh bench

Deserves a start. Up against it tonight & it's a game I'd be happy with a point but we need 3.

100%, it's all geared towards the bigger clubs and screwing over clubs in the football league. 

We just produce the academy players so teams like city can pick them up at will for next to nothing. 

It's a disgrace.

The next Harry Kane this lad, scored 2 for England recently in his age group.

Need to get him and Finneran around the first team as much as possible and hopefully they’ll stay long enough to have an impact

bad situation  going  into a big game with no centre forward on the bench

[Silas]

Can't wait till we bring Chrisene and Moran off the bench when desperate for a goal. 

The lack of backup firepower is depressing. 

Hopefully the 1st team are on point tonight and little reinforcements needed.

Compensation fee. A pittance.

hope they use their common sense and realise that life at city and other premiership clubs will be one long stretch of u21 matches  and a dozen loans out to wherever,better off staying here with a realistic chance of playing 1st team football then getting your move to the top flight

[Polky]

Broughton said in one of his interviews during the international break that fee agreed with Rochdale for Tyjon was similar to the Brierley deal.

How much did we pay? 
 

Surely we wouldn’t pay north of £100k for someone we could lose for a compensation fee?
