Match Thread Bury v Leicester (League cup)

[Jeff]

Schwarzer, Hammond (c), Kantè, Moore, Kramarić, Ulloa, Wasilewski, Fuchs, Benalouane, Inler, Dodoo.

Ideal game to introduce Gokhan Inler really. Not sure about making so many changes though.. having said that, even our back up options are very strong so we should still easily beat these.

 

[Miles Away]

352 with Dodoo and Fuchs as wingbacks?

or 433 with Fuchs and Moore/Benaloune as fullbacks?

 

[Miles Away]

Also, Simpson isn't banned then as was suggested somewhere?

 

[Jeff]

Looks like 4-4-2 to me.

Back four of Fuchs, Moore, Wasi, Benalouane
Kante seems to have played a lot on the left of midfield when he's come on, so I expect he'll play there, with Hammond and Inler in the middle and Dodoo on the right.

4-3-3?

Can't remember anyone saying he's banned.

Interesting, let's see what happens. I hope we aren't playing our defensive midfielder on the left wing, but entirely possible I suppose.

Don't know that anyone said it outright, but it was suggested he might be. Anyway, he's not.

Does anyone know anything about Olukanhi?

 

[Durham Fox]

Barring the keeper and Dodoo that's a team full of players who wouldn't look out of place in our first team in the league. We should walk this.

You could possibly add Hammond and Moore to that list?

From what I've seen of him so far he seems to get forward a lot for a 'defensive' player.
Could be Hammond on the left instead though, if it is 4-4-2

 

[City Fan]

It just highlights the need for another wide player IMO

 

[Motown Fox]

Is it on the Radio on the Internet tonight?

 

[Jenks]

I reckon a canter for this. They beat Wigan I believe but haven't won in the league this term. I reckon they'll be up for it but Claudio is too. 0-4 the City!

Shouldn't be. It's the League Cup, so it's part of the Football League's commentary deal. It's FA cup matches that have commentary online.

Could it be 4-2-3-1?
Kante and Hammond holding.
Dodoo and Kramaric wide of the 3, with Inler in the middle. Ulloa up top.

Does anyone know anything about Olukanhi?

They've got his name wrong.

It's Andre Olukanmi

From the OS: Andre Olukanmi is a tricky and extremely quick player capable of dribbling the ball past players successfully. Often operating on the left side of midfield, Olukanmi missed the majority of last season due to injury.
