maybe c w n 95 and 6. Other Good afternoon welcome inside the stadium will be here for Huddersfield Town against. Crystal City against Villa in. Gary Thomson Ashton Gate Blues at home to Norah chats and Andrews Richard will for taking care of business there and also home to Barry. We have the starting line ups here at the John Smith Stadium and also us and Andrews will be there momentarily alongside me Steve Herman what we know today then. Looking at the same for this afternoon's game but how does field I can every day to you in full color go Conoco day has moved to right back I all felt Barton say the rest of the defense in midfield a bit till 3 at George Savile a day bed with both coming into the side from this is from last week's team games plays that 131 check price remains in the middle from the same through. This started last week a blues someone left Mason on the whites and John daddy bought gas an up front. Ok so he tinkered with it again we'll talk more about that momentarily let's now Andrew serve blues knowledge Good afternoon ritual for her for I see 2 changes made by carry around Michael Clifford about comes in for an interesting even Gleason and Robert test sure is preferred to David cultural it is light switch a position with David Davis as well as a telescope Jack and gold at the back Jonathan Spector Michael Morrison Ryan Shotton and Jonathan Grant's the holders are Michael Clifford about Robert with David Davis chaired a messenger at MCO behind Clayton Donaldson on the bench lead ins Robinson Brown brainy cultural soul of a lot of war and Stuart no place in the rich city side for the former Blue striking camera. Richard let's just stay with you momentarily just look at that scene to the Ok to Bill coming in obviously for the injured Gleason But Robert Cheshire in a cultural So how's he going to shape up it's going to be with Dave explain where cultural moley to us and I think they're very mindful of the threat down the knowledge left it what Robbie Brady playing at left back with surgery can all see in front of him cultural spin a bit short of foreman and the feeling is he's a little bit weary after being away with me trained right through towards the end of June and had a very short break so it's not that he dissimilar there is a bit of flexibility he could play a little bit deeper and Adam's a McComb or indulgent play more of an orthodox from great and it will be a little bit of variation over the course of it but it is it's not too dissimilar from a normal same interest you see Tasha getting a start alongside Keefe develop a device that was missed badly last week in the game against walls and no it's not rich but the fans when they hear that and my initial reaction is it's quite negative Well what you would do against a side that just come down from the Premier League an awful cheat and still try to sign players and the Blues have to be realistic for the teams they pick and they have generally raise their game in this sort of match over the course of the almost 2 years and to get. Need to do it there one at home in any competition so far this season also I mean for the Road fans they've got to try and reward him with what he's got available in the squad there are limitations to what they can do and yes you could argue this one for you are exactly where but any blues fan will know that caught on to really pull in last week Davis is made a strong start to the season so I think they have to prove their point on the field today to win the match and have to keep it tight anyway so they will start by being solid which will put us announcers will talk more of course before kickoff teams in at Ashton Gate and live f.m. Game Bristol City Velo Good afternoon Rob Good afternoon Frank see 2 changes Dave used for Richie Dillard and me they get an AK as we expected in a change of position for Leandro but Coonass over the line up with Pierre Luigi Guilliaume in goal Richie Deland Tommy Elphick James Chester and Elissa Soco at the back and get an axe and actually Westwood with Jack Green. And Ross McCormack behind Jordan i.e. Although McCormack and I could play up top together that's the bill a starting 11 here and actually. Let's just get the Walsall say before we get to Gary Thompson on that villa 11 I was home to bury tomorrow yet chopping and changing again Frank c. For changes from the side which lost to want to home to Charlton last Saturday's were sent out in chambers the captain is back having missed the last 3 games with a hamstring injury keeping Tona comes straight in having signed on loan from Aston Villa this week tumour and Liam can sell also in the starting 11 missing out today James O'Connor must be injured Matt Preston George Dobson and Frank Moose a moose are also not on the substitute spent so much whom he's injured as well the Sadler's have a 3 chin goal across the back it will be Joe Edwards Kevin toner Jason McCarthy and Liam Kinsella then it's as are all spawn and Adam chambers of the heart of midfield with Andrea smack Chris erhu last tumor and Kira Morris behind Simeon Jackson up front on the Sadler's bench it circle. McGillivray Dobson and Preston just get nearly. On the youngsters that Jordan sang a mask. Thank you good afternoon to Gary Thompson Ashton guy part about same down there alongside Rob gurney Gary how are you Frank so yourself yeah good thank you so a couple changes she had an act we expected coming in we'll talk more about him people kick off but let's also make a nice debut but the community doesn't make wise a so-called start left back to last at right back. In a major field role as that has that front 5 going to work with the. Delivery at times. There's been question marks about it that you think she's done but up until now coming back and start pre-season it seems to be obviously press the manager because wherever whenever there's a game for just by supply the lot he does. Not 5 people thinks quality up a lot got a little bit about I think a lot work to do to the 5. As long as you keep going in there and give an account you're going to run back you if you see interest in what's going to do we go oh yeah and because it is all you are thinking why students want to pay I think you need spices for your particular Yorks run a picnic and beyond people so I think lining up for them and McCormack offering. A better option Yeah but playing all you centrally with because maybe in the wide right British on the left that would be your preferred. As well I was young but good to see you so we're. Looking you know especially well it's going let me down once I carried a fully controlled jointed. Deliberate told them that it all you really want to my sinful everywhere he comes he saw you and Marcus I tried to type people on what to get beyond people think I said before McCormack was commonly apply come and join it I think it's on the often because of a shot of cultural I can see that as being a better option Terry Thompson part about table. Gary in a moment but hear us we'll just a quick word with Steve Herman because again 10 of the players in this 11 with their last season only began to dance and up front I thought both were Jackson my going to start today but not the case yeah and it's interesting that he's moved Conoco to to right back position I know sort of tested it out in preseason has been looking at that but moving him in a bringing in the experience of David words into the midfield but also bringing George sample as well because Lee Evans is ruled out with a knee injury that's why he's not in the side today but the other man to my ways caught me Holzer as you say we were speculating on the wire but that jack shit would likely get us started on that page again Cambridge the Midway but as you also point out. That signed a lot of players roles but only John de Bob Barson out of the summer signings is the one that makes it into the squad today I can understand why he's not made too many changes from last week obviously because it was a very good victory and why a blues they performed really really well but it is interesting what he's getting out of the new crop of players that were here last season and underperform yet confidence is a big thing we'll talk more about that of course on the bench by the way for wolves just just come through a lot of good joints Henry held the Costa Prince on Yankee to share a camera both with Jackson on the bench and Courtney house for games for Bella so far in the championship only 11 only lost Roberto Di Matteo believes things are heading in the right direction I think you can see it progress from the 1st game to the last game has been the progress in the play the progress we act as a team we move this team I think. It's getting better but what we've done in the past doesn't count anymore you know your next game it's always a new test for every individual and team so we'll have to show. That we are on the right track. We are making progress and that we are improving as a team and and try and disserved that lock that maybe within half in the previous games because you get the 3 looking abilities that the wind is coming at the moment a little bit of luck one carry on being against you for the rest of the season surely not but it's coming together. I said previously I said I'm confident in the team because I can see every day how we work and how committed the players on the training pitch to put things right and try to improve all play so you hope that you know over the term of the season that you know the locks on my balance itself out now I wouldn't mind to have a. Game and they could. Which would help sometimes as well alternately so. To try and dominate the games and try and win games or alternately the sort of let's get Gary Thompson's thoughts from what you've seen so far of Gary are they moving in the right direction I spent quite a bit of money should have had more points and they've got to think yeah definitely I think you'd be excited but still a little bit nervous at the start of the season you seem apply after shipping Wednesday obviously. But it's steadily improved the state bringing in more starting now to stampede what he wants honestly the larger general community as well but it's on my baby and. Our belief is can only get better as as you said or you leave might be horrible Can we put together a couple of decent results if you strongly friendship that you should always secure and then you can always build from there and I believe that they should be steamy strong differences when you've got so many from the wall to protect them as well and that you can cite a stroke you want to play and I think it's looking different a lot better although you need is probably the one we are going to. Get all 6 of the 11 today that start our new signings Villa fans your verdict of course on your say between 560-3453 double double 956 Blues at home to Norwich in the championships live on d.a.p. Across the Birmingham area blues without a win in the last 9 games at Sedan drew in all competitions since they beat hold back in March 5 days to go before the transfer deadline in the window closes so what is Gary from this week will win games. Will be a star but in terms of the transfer market. You know still wow that's they still want to bring a couple of players that look from say honestly probably bring forth hot plays and the reality is is you know offering a comparable bring warm maybe to you but the reality of our situation is that's probably going to Maine but one maybe 2 off to go to the one so we might have to be a bit creative basically we might have to do things that perhaps people don't expect you know we might have to let a player out the pressure we don't necessarily want to get the ones we want to get in and that's just all situations so we'll have to we'll and a little bit in the aspects react to the fall off 1st 4 games and what we think with props missing a little bit because now 2 seasons in the sign me know I said this last season we got to be better this year to finish 10th you know not to finish 6 we don't mean that it's a finish 10 from the minute we haven't been better so we've got to we've got to try and address that quickly let's get we'll be richer will. Be better to finish ten's this season bit of money in the championship so he's going to go cultural doesn't start to. Falter was a start that I wouldn't have thought that they'd risk letting him go I think the 2nd half of last season most blues goals rather scored by able created by him or came from set pieces that he took he is a bit short of form of the moment will benefit the rest with the international break coming up as well there are saleable assets around Stephen Gleason was linked with a move earlier in the season you look at even a player like keep the ball is raised in value that may be swapped for Brady for brain is he started one game this season 1000000 pads signed in January easy a bust the Italian There are some saleable assets out there but go over this been interested in the past as well that Paul Caddis and not in the squad at the moment so there are opportunities maybe to let somebody go to bring somebody in if that's what they've got to do that's what they've got to do for me that was clearing areas of the pitch where they need players whether it be. But fallback position and whether it be another strike those the main areas I got full one at the door this week but they may well have to win the day a little bit between now Wednesday night. And welcome your take on it between 560-345-3956 the football phone in by the way as usual Monday 530 till 7 malaise will be joining me in the studio as we reflect on the weekends action with the Baggies playing tomorrow live in f.m. Rob gurney and Tony Brown inside the hall towards the build up from one barre in League One today both with 4 points from 4 games is John Whitney's assessment of the start of the season hit and miss we've show some really good signs but we've also some signs where we need to need to still work on them it's still information I think for I thought maybe if you just say the last game it's chart you can see the best bits of what we can do on the counter-attack we can break play through the 3rd and create chances but then I also think we were too open as well so from a coaching perspective that could be the frustration thing that it was more like could have been for 3 after which isn't is good the fact that you can create John the same insurance was a really good one similar to the women want one of these that goes a great say from the keeper there on the other hand I thought they opened up a little bit too easily as well which is something that we worked on on the out of the training pitch this week from a managerial perspective having bought as many players have you done that's probably to be expected that little spent yet is still coming in excuse it's still basics I think and it doesn't matter who you play in what position you still need to work off our basics were fundamentally have really solid organized team defensively and then we're very dangerous in the attacking to welcome got that type of plays game changes but we need to not go away from the fact that what got success over the last couple of years in the foundation that is what we do is simply the hard work we put in on the negative side to not so much as we were in possession but out of possession we need to make sure we're nice and really difficult to break down the. Kevin Turner signed on loan from Villa until January straight into that bank for the Sadler's by the way spurs one little ball won the early kick off in the Premier League Milner with a penalty late in the 1st opposite of all cancelled out by Danny Rose dispersed fullback 11 is a White Hart Lane at the moment the big. Jobs housing a want to know what you think should be on the job description for a new med you know to pass we won't be the person to go around the world actually promoting the way if it improves services people feel better represented. Isn't going to call this I need a response from the a lot more significantly more than. He would have to be more you know it's a choice of the people out there where you could. Stand anyone can stand because that's what people are all about Danny Kelly weekdays from 9. To me rather noisy 5.6 Tuesday night by the way the a.f.l. Trophy the check a trade trophy where 16 teams invited to clubs would catch everyone academies so Walsall Grimsby might choose to not Millwall against West Bromwich Albion Academy under $21.00 Chesterfield against walls when our coverage of all those games $64.00 teams started off 6 of 16 groups of 4 you've got and the top 2 from each group then go into a knockout on the final course at Wembley 2nd of April to spend the next few minutes looking at actual clubs and talking to our reporters will start with the blues with the transfer window closing on Wednesday to top 10 finishes in the last 2 seasons for Gary around it but the Blues boss knows this season is going to be tougher still because Birmingham City's limited budget will be even more of a factor in an increasingly cash rich Championship what we can do is we can't go solve our problems instantly just check people you know. I would say the divisions that start to get bigger and bigger because that money is spent someone sell me. Free to greed and deal with a certain player on absolute ridiculous amounts of money that we can't even we couldn't even dream of a 3rd or a quarter of the top money side and that's going to buy instant success on the pitch just going to make you school goals or skin in my ear we have to buy sense out of place so we've got to try and find our solutions over over time and. You know that's not easy to do in a very very strong divisions are still think we're in a bit transitional still think this season we haven't felt found offer yet and we're still fing we're not finished recruitment wise you have to avoid castigate envious on on these other girls because it would eat you up wouldn't it really realistically you know what you've got well look I'm going to I'm going to be really really honestly season been a lot harder this season a lot harder because I think I spoke to the board in the summer said look I need 4 players off it will make us better we've got more or less votes for players I think the problem for us is the division seems to move on a such a blistering pace that it seems like it still beyond what everyone else is doing but but you going to be you know you're going to be if Newcastle can go and spend 10000000 pounds on 3 or 4 players you know h. Not just 10000000 for all for it for you know 10000000 a seat of a 1000000. In all fairness though sides they've sold players on the net the net transfer monies is slightly more even if you look at walls can go and sign players now you know you always want somebody of its aims so cast an envious saw in terms you know I'm not saying I wish I was like all the others but what it does it just makes it harder to to compete. Let's bring Richard will fit into Sometimes it is tougher to compete can we just talk about the takeover When's that going to happen do we think what's the latest if we look at the way things are playing out of the moment it looks like if they're faking a couple more months certainly is not a very effective before this transfer deadline that they bring in to spread the word write a book it's now worth to try to wade all the way through. The financials that been going on with Permit me to smash Holdings which is the parent company it's fair to say it was a really naughty thing to try and untie the way that it had been left by cos you know the great advantage as well we can believe it's taken as long as it's taken truly in trophy Asia and stood there squarely and said we're going to take over as soon as it's Minish they've been the profit preferred bit is all along so it is going to happen some time October November might be the start of December realistically it's not necessarily going to be an avalanche of cash either so let's remember that and there is some criticism to Garry right I mean fans on the phone in talking about the tactics he's not brave enough not positive enough is it fair they've not done very well at home and that's the big problem if your house fans don't see your best performances that makes life difficult and that most of the good results in this calendar year have come away from home they have got to find a way of playing more effectively at home it's not a simple as playing a 2nd strike or it never is this is them could work really well but then Previously they had to jump to roll they had to Mari gray try to replace those players with ones of a similar quality in the current market is really difficult they spent a huge watch of the very limited budget they've got on child Adams he looks a very good talented young player was working by towards full fitness they've got brakes to you is looking good at the training ground that already the plunge will start just yet but they might well be next month will see him come onshore in the 2nd half of their working towards that but they do need to provide some goals and they do need to provide some supply to play doubles and I've read Blues fans on social media saying doubles should be dropped for him they need to have the striker in as well so there are things that he can work on because he called just people saying well this is the way we have to play with what we've got even if it's true single eyes of the inside you have all the fans are saying the Donalson and I have Chad and and stewards up front but they're also saying cabbies they want to see Kaddish back at right back because he's the master of his own to pull if he's come back Priest. Things that don't faze having been told that he needed to come back for pre-season then he's made it represent back he played 90 minutes yesterday for the other 23 he's going to prove his point or he might be shipped by the end of play on Wednesday you know certainly a bit Katniss along with a fish cultural down the right hand side is loose. See coming over that is the dream right combination of this better model protease if bend but he's not attacking right back just read simple a bit better it sounds better but not exactly left back and that's an area where they let themselves down to about 40 percent of the loading midfielders none of it going to do anything great if they don't hold your weight really gives trouble to push the price no expire for one for once I mean they might not necessarily at least to vigorously either is that bothersome to place to spend your verdict between a 5 and 6 writable food and man inside sedan do something in the Birmingham area Milly had an AK and Richie delight of course the ladies signings at Villa Park $33000000.00 plus spent by villa in the summer both of those players with Premier League clubs of course and choosing to come to Villa who are still paying big wages 40000 pounds a week for yet an AK according to ease agent both starting today Roberto Di Matteo feels the former palace midfield man will fit in very well to the existing set up and fits very nicely in our system the way we want to play I think he will adapt very quickly to it it's nothing new to him anyway and he's a new leader. Well he he was kept and for many years a palace he's kept in office national side this well. He spoke around on the pitch as well so certainly helps the rest of the team as well when you look back over the recent games going through the illusion there's been an awful lot of bad luck sometimes that you've been dogged by or not see some of the results not be what you want to do you how much of the block has been a factor and which of the stories still we need to work on things. I think they say there's a degree of improvement within our team and certainly I think that we're probably the sort of to have a couple of points more than we have considering the performance that we put in in the games I think we hate overall Knol $44.00 crossed by me across parts and post 4 times in total. Clearances off the line but you need to sometimes you need to persevere and and male urge your luck as well so we just have to keep knocking on the door and I believed and sooner or later. I hope that they will go in rather than you know bunch of the polls thing and go out there or somewhere else. Let's get Gary tells us that Gates live in f.m. To carry out and about you but what I look at the squad now and the money that's been spent and we can talk a little bit about the system but I want to see Villa dominating games a lot more than I do I mean the Huddersfield home game has failed at 60 percent possession Villa Park that should not be I think most people realize that when you get really excited anyone can submit a party it's going to be a Wembley for them so they can be full of it they going to get a position but I think it's interesting position I think of what they don't still get once told by going well 1st off should have gotten so if you situation where the kids game over there are a lot of the 3 get back into the guy of a particular party might very well 2nd off that spells Villa. But I haven't completely dominated and as the season goes on maybe with yet an act we've got experience at the heart of it failed they've got to do a lot more yeah I mean there are looks I think are said to start the season but until the window we still get people in once we don't come and got 234 going into that you should be saying the whole thing be pretty damn should say philosophical point you should see a framework apart apply at the defense he said Lindsay the kids that were spring both gone with guns until it's a little bit hard to Roberto to use or how you pick the things you can work. With to get a good result I get that it's a lot but you got a cite now we're going to release the picture this allowed you can't supply is going to politicians on these teams because most obscene of this division and I want to judge you to watch the early on not seeing an awful lot to step back standard so they have full and I'm sorry guys but that we point to expected to be open around here and that Charlotte if he gets there I want Washington to be there because they're going to go he's put together it's the place you can always school golf you start doing that the competition clubs you play you can bet you frightful chances and he carries on and yeah it's a very competitive league I mean 4 games and nobody's got them. Yeah topped with 10 points but nobody's won all 4 their opening games but it's 20 without a win on the road privilege they can win today a white amount that will be a big monkey off the back and then he wants the players to get rid of course which is like normal or Lescott you may be gone in the next few days Villa fans that your verdict I was 3453 double 0 double 9 $56.00 in the final aggregate all the dressing room reaction of course wolves live in all the Hampton area here at the Johnson estate the abyss no doubt that has had a positive impact at Molineux the mood under Kenny Jackett was pretty grim the football was dull 10 of the 11 players started against blows last weekend were from last season as they are again today and there is now a wall to sing a song. Yeah the fans are starting to love him 6 unbeaten in all competitions at the start of the satan and Walter is pleasantly surprised by how good a start they've made considering it was such a disruptive pre-season game because. The players are amazing they were very deliberate to certify to have only won the health this period working have really tried to understand my feelings. I have this week thanks to them for the solution the me I only bring my philosophy only bring my idea about food will they ask it to them to for me and the going rate we make once the back is very easy and to deal with the. Situation the players were totally and I've been able to to do that. And you see clearly want them to work very hard no team will be working harder than yours will know this is not true I think that there really were. The working out of the the. Different things. In my opinion one coach is a lucky one you have a lucky when the players fall in then the quality of the player make a difference in the team so if you need that quality Are you pleased with the quality that these players and showed in the 1st few weeks I saw something in the last game that was really close to be nice as we play the. Grass nor long ball try to believe. This is the way it might be the thought of Walter saying guess the permanent longside be the feelgood factor back anyway all of all the Zagg about us it's a confident place to be. I just think he's brought a motivation because as you say 10 of last season's squad start today only John duddy Bob Barr said is one of the new keys out of the play is that other side permanently or one load I just think Walter he's got more personality than Kenny Jackett he's motivating and I think as well I think we'll find out if results turned sour at some point this season they will get Bob results at some point you'll find out more about will go after that and I think that fiery side of your character could well come back but the pressure on those players in the taking now from the ones that they brought in to share a prince on a Yankee held a council all Whiting on the bench so those in the team know they've got to perform a power glad all the man they brought in not available today but another 1000000 pound spent strike a 6 foot 24 years of age as he scored that many goals last season but it was the same something in him but he's not available today so it's competition for places Well that's right pal going to call you pal Yeah you might as well have spelt the same why isn't it yes but yeah Powell got it as you said applaud him for 24 colleagues last season all by 3 and 5 already this season 24 years applied so perhaps one would. Potential but they are spending the money they are kind of right so actually I am just throwing all these big plays in as you say he's keeping last season's play as a chance. To kick it kick up the backside because it is saying look we've got these 9 players which we got ready raring to go wising But he's your chance to prove yourself and so far to be fair to the why is a lot of them who average Last season they are proving themselves to be early stages and he's done something interesting the code put it right back again today maybe he feels that he's going to be best position I offer him Bart I'm like that central defensive partnership I think of all the players that got us the best because Williamson I don't think is ever going to play for the bulls but I would say the fans which I was a left back at the but really he's a right back but still playing on the left hand side so those 2 fallback position the rest yes it will be rethought Borthwick Jackson might get a yards today but it's a part of the season last season finished as a left back and he's obviously felt like work he's worth keeping there as well. 56 well science your take on it between 5 and 6 when they would move above. After 5 games going in international break wolves could potentially be top of the Championship table by 5 o'clock tonight. They were in ruins and 5.6 with pool for one half an hour away just confirm who's in who's been a fan Bristol City against Aston Villa Rob. To changes frank here Dave peaceful Richie Gilad and me to signings they replace the injured British istead and Gary Gotha who drops to the bench I feel it with. Me and go back for a British Tommy Elphick James Chester and Allie Soco holding midfield role getting back and actually Westwood then it looks like the Andrew but to the right Jack relates to the left and Joel are you playing ahead of Ross McCormack on the bench for the goalkeeper Mark but they said by.

It's about trying to get there and everyone sort of pulling in the right direction in order to get there and you know so we can have a raga I was the boss said to you about what he wants from me we've got a couple of chats there's not a lot of specifics to be honest it's more about you know I go on doing what you do and getting on with the getting to crowd with the boys and you know assessing things on how things are and. Train and put yo personality into your own trainings and into games and and go from there and you know for just overweight and great on will go to a lot of the boys and. I'm looking forward to building those relationships going forward you know we're all going to be just on the weekends and the performance on the weekend and on like a city goes. Forward and I just get very quickly began to Thompson a 1000000 AK because Gary when you were there part of that squad were relegated and got promoted to the key players brought in by Graham Tyler at the time that the put it right I just wonder whether you tonight could change cog for the law yet this lawsuit similarities are many only start working people do you Kevin Gage easy Malise people out and get into these are the top you work very hard well be very shyly very demonstrative you can manage to pull calm things down you and I because people are not doing much needed even listen to the interview log in downtown San Diego Pfizer bank Dillard is looking forward to a truck use a grant will do the job you do if needed and watch now but we don't feel for those about it get the job done get us up you know it's in the say I'm a. Big wages they're paying believed to be on around 40 grand a week or so against Barry in League One born with only I think I guess Wimbledon but no one in 4 since then they've also strike a semi in Jackson knows it is crucial to get it right and win matches in front of the home fans especially important you know especially when you know you come off the back of a know when you know I think I'll me Jeff in the woods again that you know you want to win your own game so yeah definitely a big one but you know the take you know the fathers from every game on Saturday you know for most of the game and you know we show so that we can get back in the game you know going 10 down yeah we're just we're just built on like a you know like of said still early on the season and you know learn a lot of things and get it right so from. In terms of. Personal targets for a season or. 3 your way just. As many games. Might. Just keep you know one game. Suddenly strike a semi in Jackson is not bags of experience tomorrow inside the Banksy stadium how badly as we go through the season of the going to miss Bradshaw's goals do you think well Jackson did have a very good start to life here too poaches goes on the opening day it ends Wimbledon but he hasn't really got the same physical presence the same sort of. The stronger and the subtlest have so far elected to place him in Jackson as a lone striker to be playing balls out of the defense for him to try and work with that have really worked in my opinion I mean the question will be replace Bradshaw's goals it's not really bracha we have to consider they've lost something like 59 of the 71 goals that they scored in the league last season players who have now departed lots of Soyuz and now give it as well as Bradshaw they do have quite a small front line when. It isn't on the field and I really would like to see the likes of all to Makris most are in Morris help out with the scoring as well Morris was on the marquee against Charlton last weekend and so is it now but it's never really got double figures for war so I'd like to see the likes of those 2 most maybe do so this season and Kevin Turner that looks a decent signing straight into the heart of the defense and we saw him once or twice but he should be able to add something I saw him come on against Southampton Rustam below think he replaced Michael Richards and very calm and composed and he's a rival just picked upon a box I think in terms of what the status has been looking for a left sided center half to complement the right but if James O'Connor who unfortunately guineas is injured today and someone who could fill in at left pull back when Rico Henry's outs and John when he has said he's had plenty of crazy nights trying to get this final signing in total. They've got somebody who's aggressive who's tough tackling and certainly in my opinion will still have the tendency of maybe being a little bit too nice and he does bring in a natural balance to the defense not think this is a good sign in Kabul so. At the bank the stadium sadness fans your take on it all in the final hour of course 03453 double double 956 it's not a steel wall to the John Smith Stadium live on d. a Be a costly Black Country Conoco d. Is happy the midfield man has also played it right back as he does today he says he stopped certainly given the players some extra freedom to express themselves yet without a doubt well I just think that's a play really really well it's it's a pleasure to play with them at the minute I mean I said we talk about Mason John dowdy and the difference he's made and I think the boys the men are playing really really well the lessons they got from trying to get points across on on the pitch and it seems we worked on them and they got to be fantastic has been really with everyone and one May continue to know and the way the systems operate in the moment you're getting an awful lot of the ball always in that they often say in the modern game room is quarterbacking the team in that something seems to see it yet I mean I've said before that I don't really mind where a play for for the club and for the manager and for me teammates book it's one of them if you want to play in a position you want to know what you're doing it's the same ones that piece in that they've got the tools in which you need to know every single position and in case you end up in one book I mean for me when I helped him as much as possible and keep on playing and over keep on winning with the boys from the outside looking in it's fascinating to see so many players being brought into the club and yet last weekend 10 of the starting 11 were guys like you who were here last season the key is your being given your chance to show what you can do it's not been assumed that we need to replace all these guys no not all are like I said The gaffer being fantastic since he's been and he's he spoke to everyone he told them what what he wants from them and if and the boys responded a little bit and I mean like I said the way is attention to detail on the pitch is fantastic and we're learning from each and every each and every day and I said before long may continue Conoco de who plays at right back today but you're both of . You were speaking to Connor Cody there were times when I got. Really but he knew it was going to be playing it right back as well because you know ask about quarterback in the team for me to build as he had here sundries last week but he said we don't I'm just happy wherever a player is on as a tribute to I think they already had it set in stone by Thursday where they were playing which shows it's about your guys I should be in the right and center of 1st day the mood there is very high and I don't think it's just about results I think they're really enjoying their training also saying you're a nice team are doing something very right Frank see this but you keep on putting as we did last week tell of the starting 11 plays about with the club last year but the play with the different opinions and conviction exciting times potential Yes and they're under pressure as well because the players they brought in a champing at the bit to get a chance so competition for places which you know why isn't quite so prevalent at some time recently let's be honest that they were not all full of what they would genuinely say there's somebody breaking them and then you would only say it about the full position that's where the recent coverage you've got players on the bench that I like for bringing Stuart Solomon on the board respond as well and we'll see some holes no doubt about it they are bringing down the Knicks the players up there has been elsewhere that is a problem but you have a rabbit is no way that he's maybe in a situation where he's got to play his repetition which is they are. As we said earlier after 4 games of the championship so far no chain with a maximum it's going to be that competitive 15 minutes away from the big kickoff. But just the key change change is good he with Bill rash the guy today. They'd be so rich he demands me to get it back yeah we'd be hundreds of coulda moving probably on to the right hand side of the field with children oh you have lost my cool back possibly feeding off each other up top of course Bristol City are considered to changes in their last championship my. With my little one chip was coming in right back and Joe Ryan replacing Jonathan called Jim to Huddersfield against Bolton stay current will stick with the for preferring the work so well a blues last week the make to change his holes and Evans go out in comes Edwards and Savile coming to kamikaze losing to the right back position pulls off to Huddersfield there also full $33.00 for the full Villa midfielder John holding the midfield and Budgie but the power of one so both from foot and from Toms to stadium to send down trees and much of Wolf thank you very very keep the bow Tash are coming to me we'll place an easy cultural makes quite a bit supply further forward on the right hand side the original camera Jerome I play of the wonderful one with 9 spades up front end to lead on the back to steady of also being a double with a take your very own power for changes for the Sadler's out in chambers returns from injury Kevin toner makes his debut ball can sell it to my return O'Connor. A rule missing through injury Perry make 3 changes and they include James born to straighten authors move from blues this week. Thank you. Moves and will soon. You will sports in the West Midlands Stevie c.w.m. Going to likely 6 francs. So what are you expecting today will we'll ask our reporters what they're expecting will hear from one of the people involved as well Warsaw out to bury this is going to work for John Whitney who says today's opponents have had a very similar start to Washington 4 points I watched. In the Copen very physical Pope up top they play a high tempo so I think he spoke. After the weekend and he said that he was disappointed for they were bit jaded after the games that we thought. So you'll be ready for this weekend they rested for a week Same with it was will be ready for them I know him really well and have to play against him and all we'll want to call Missy we can probably try bully is a little bit but we've shown that we cannot stand up to them know what we've got to do is to test them with awful bore and see if we can create more than they do that's John Whitney told Marlo what he want to see from the service I want to see a more solid defensive showing from the subtlest today that they just look shaky the last few weeks I've seen him John Whitney said last week he wanted to see ruthlessness a top story sub indicating Tona provides it looks shaky at the back the reshuffles due to James O'Connor and Rico Henry injuries happen to help out to chop and change again today but they haven't kept a holding clean sheet in their last 8 outings something that needs to change today to deal with the physicality maybe of her Berry as well a Tale of 2 Cities at sundown Dru's blues and Norwich going head to head Gary rabbit reckons no it should be right in the mix for automatic promotion at the end of the season yet of all the teams are since I far as I know it's probably been the most impressive and again when you've got a loss of Cameron Jerome up there from that potential just signed all of their it was a was a target of OS in the summer people who land your prick charter fing us and even play jet Robbie Brady at left by so we got some some fantastic players but. But what we've got to do is again we've got to make sure that we made that head on and you can go into a football pitch worrying about the players and of its aim of go you've got to go out there worrying about how you can hurt them and said they're really talented same if you allow them to be talented we've got to certainly work harder this Saturday to stop the opposition plan and then be better on the ball also you know but more often than not we matched the big teams you know you committees were lost so you could dial the last season these type of games we've been up for the games probably more so than others. Which of the Blues have to do to get a win there I wanted to be able to just sit. I want him to say to the players that we're going to go out and take him on a don't we got it. Don't worry about what they can do to hurt us I'm not sure that's the taking the operating out in front of me but that's what they've got to do that but of course the problems here but the origin and not be so that we can get back down. To tell us Bill Walsh you're the John Smith Stadium top against 3rd in the early stages holders anger expects a very different game to the 3 ball when it's a Dandridge last weekend and a game. Of a different story you know no it's that you prepare your game all the time say the purpose of the times to prepare to win of course the style of the game can be different the quality of the player then depends also how they play the style of the game so for example Birmingham and others the deeper a different way this field played more and with. Like I say on the ground as the build up of the action from a few personal differences mission but every game a different story and I met the 2 teams like other field work rather than all the can play one big match in this in this hall to says Every game is a different story so what's going to be the story today well I want to say and I said could get a football I think we're going to get that today 1st but 1st these 2 teams with the potential to throw caution to the wind and looking at the front 3 fourths Wallace but both of them may said they've already got 6 goals to. Come at least one of the 4 you look at on the scoresheet today and you don't want to see walls coming from behind you want to see you get ahead maybe. That's is the goal to get the best record from coming from behind the 5 points so far this season after coming from behind so I decide to not be here I would rather get it done but Ashton Gate Crystal City against Aston Villa f.a. And one drawer Darby want to finish up a Wednesday on the road so far Robbie David says. It doesn't really change the stinking when he setting up at same other bill park or away from home a pretty much we go into the games trying to win the game sent whether it's a home or away you have to take into consideration of z. Every opposition has good players and quality players in the team and they might be on top of you for a certain period of the game every opposition so there are times student game where we know we'll have to defendant to make sure that the opposition doesn't and create any chances so not too many chances and there will be the times where we'll be in charge of the game and then that's the time when you have to really try and exploit the dominance they get in the game and make it count it was also rugby to Bristol City to home game so they beat Wigan on the opening day lost one nil to Newcastle 7 days ago but Ashton Gate Rob goody and Gary Thomson What are you looking for from below today boys well hopefully Frank same elated at controlling midfield on his debut doubtless carrier nail be sticking his 14 in the pitch for Bristol City as well lots of movement from Jordan Ohio and Ross McCormack unsettling the Bristol City defense hope he will see plenty of that and equally Tommy Elphick James chest to keep it Tammy Abraham Why is the 18 year old on loan from Chelsea up front to press to sedate and that's a challenge that most defenders have a bit up so you should they see the school 5 goals in 6 appearances say he's a preview of the show. Terry Thompson alongside Rod gurney at Ashton Gate the early game in the Premier League finish well more between Spurs and little poll by the by Danny Rose ecological top of the Milner converted a penalty in the 1st half a little finish 11 of White Hart Lane with 5 minutes a y. .
