No Fernandez, no Foden, no Bouaddi and what a suns bench that is. I'm expecting they will get a run or second half as subs. Also, Nunes, Ait-Nouri & Kivacic in bench.

We can really mix up our starting 11 with this squad.

Keys getting working on team bonding and rhythm, it is so important, as even teams fill off good players can be relegated or under perform.

C'mon City

Nico O' Reilly back injury in warm up, so we might see Bouaddi start in his place.

Really dodgy at the back

Anderson looking good though

Yeh, really mixed. Some decent attacking play but they could have two goals.

Early days for this team, but the possibilities are endless. I just hope they gel well as a team and the manager gets the big decisions right.

I'm very hopeful, and I think we will improve a lot for the second half, to build on our slim lead.

Hopefully, we will see Bouaddi and Foden in for a good spell if the serving half.

Got worse not better second half. Lots of side to side, no forward penetration play and wobbling under pressure from Coventry.

Somewhat fortunate to get all the points and need to improve. We need time, thankfully time is in our side.

9 points from first three games and that's what really matters.

Yeh, we were quite fortunate to get the win really. Erling  missed a few but they could have had a couple of goals at least too.
