Team news for Bolton & Bristol City

[Mellotron]

We will rotate a BIT between tomorrow and Tues, but no more than 1-2 changes to keep things fresh.

doesn't the op's name give you all a clue ??

 

[perseus]

Isn't the modern game all about squad rotation? I think people need to realise times have changed and get with it! I want us to get 9 points out of the next 9 but think we need our best against the league leaders and think others can do a job against lessor teams like Bolton & Brizzle.

Dougal did not think Bolton were lesser than Palace And as far as star players go, I think Eagles might be more a nuisance than Zaha. I expect that Gus played more against Bolton than Palace (if he ever played against them) and he thinks of them as a Premier league team.

I don't know what to think about Bolton really. Most times I have seen them down here it has been a big crowd and a tricky match.

No. He's not a Palace fan, just like I presume you don't support Bournemouth. He's just wrong.

3 points are the same whether they be at home to Bolton or away to Palace. To hear people on here talk it would appear they would be happy to lose the next 2 games provided they won on Dec 1st, I would rather the other way round win 6 points at home and if need be lose at Palace but I would rather avoid a defeat there as well.

I'd take losing to Bolton & Brizzle to win at Selhurst Pk - it would be immense and settle some old scores!!

So as someone said above, it's a two game season as far as you're concerned.

Great. I'm sure the Palace fans will still be gutted, when they are in the play offs, and we've missed out by a couple of points, thrown away at home to Bristol cocking City.

My take would be that if anything, Gus has MORE responsibility to entertain 25,000 paying customers at eeh Amex, than he does in short-changing them, in order to concentrate on a single away game, Palace or otherwise.

 

[seagul]

No! best available players for all matches,win games get the points, no shit teams in this league (except palace obviously)

My concern is that Gus gives Bolton a MASSIVE amount of praise and respect in his pre-match - I really hope he's not paving the way for/justifying playing a defensive starting 11. If Hammond, Crofts, Bridcutt and Barnes ALL start I might cry.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Just checked the teams on Sky Sports & it would appear we are making a load of changes tomorrow....

--------------------------------------------Kuszczak-----------------------------------------------------

----------Brezovan-------------Bruno----------------Greer-------------------Dunk------------------


Painter--------------Buckley--------------Orlandi---------------Barnes--------------------Bridcutt


---------------------------------------------Hammond--------------------------------------------------

Im sure Brezovans height at the back will be useful...as will Painters pace out wide. As for Hammond as a sole striker - GENIUS!

Yes...I think he'll play three of them, Crofts will be on the bench.

I've got a good feeling about tomorrow. We'll TEAR into them. Champagne football.

 

[Eksman]

Why drop players from a potential 6 points, to win a potential 3?

Exactly that!

Exactly Gus knows how vital the Palarse game is and is clearly set to ring the changes for Bolton.

Blimey...told me !!

Clearly... :

 

[Surrey Phil]

I think Hoskins will start up front with Dobbie tomorrow as I think Gus is set to change the negative approach at The Amex.

Never change a winning team,put out the strongest possible side in both matches and try and get six points on the board.
