Hopefully beat the freeze with time of kick off. Looks a low temp day viewing the forecast.

Fair point, current prediction of +0.5 degrees at kick off.
I wonder what their undersoil heating system is like ...

non existant could be like an old style cup tie in the winter complete with orange ball

Ah, I assumed Laporte was still out but just seen the comments from yesterday’s press conference and it looks like he could be available, so yeah think he’ll start ahead of Stones.

would be a real boost to get him back today-although looking at the forecast, may be a risk to play him on a hard pitch..

 

[Alcatraz]

At a guess, I think we’ll line up something like this:

Steffen
Cancelo
Garcia
Stones
Mendy
Fernandinho
Doyle
Foden
Mahrez
Torres
Jesus

Sorry, but no way does Garcia compete physically.....Cheltenham have got big players and fire in free kicks and long throws. We need height at the back not a midget.

I bet the Cheltenham branch of the City supporters club are gutted they can’t attend. Pat and his crew are probably one of the main/loyal City supporters clubs around and I see their coach every home game. They get a tie on their doorstep and can’t make it .

We need to rest many players otherwise we will have more injuries

Stones, Dias , Gundo, Bernardo and Cancelo need to be rested.

Players the Palmer, Delap, THB and Doyle

Add to that Ferna, Mahrez, Mendy, Laporte, Steffen, Jesus, Torres and we can win this game

 

[supersonicblue]

Is Delap suspended?

 

[richards30]

Steffen
Garcia
Hardwood bellis
Laporte
Mendy
Fernandinho

Foden
Torres
Mahrez
Jesus

Stones
Mendy
Fernandinho
Doyle
Foden
Mahrez
Torres
Jesus

Hoping John is rested, and also maybe Phil. Both particularly vital for league games.

I am in my 60’s now and can remember the Cheltenham and Gloucester coach at games from a long way back, not that I can remember much these days
