Wow, Alex Robertson straight in.

Pleased with the CB partnership but a bit surprised that it's Ng over Kpakio.

Wow did not expect that but very happy

Let’s hope he shows us what we’ve been missing

No Willock? Strong bench though.

Just noticed there's no sub GK either.

In my opinion that is our strongest starting 11 if all play to their ability.

That has been the best midfield partnership in the last few years imo

Wow did not expect that but very happy

It’s certainly great news (on Robertson) and hopefully we will see him refund the form that made him League One ‘Player of the Year’ when at Portsmouth, the season before last!

Happy with that team, and looking forward to one of the ‘bigger’ clashes of the season for us!

Will be a tough game against a good team and manager but I have to say our team selection makes a lot of sense. Chambers and Kaprio unfortunate to miss out but Extra defensive strength with NG coming in and the 3 CMs look very balanced. Chance for Robertson to show us what we've been missing in a televised game

Just noticed there's no sub GK either.

That seems odd, Ned; particularly as Turner is a decent cover for Nathan Trott

I seem to recall Willock took a ‘knock’ earlier in the week, which would explain his failure to make the match day squad

Must never go into a game without sub keeper! Even of its only an 18yr old apprentice ...

Where's Matt turner no sub GK ??

Allan NG can play in goals

I really like this team. Definitely would have preferred Kpakio over NG. And 50/50 on salech and Robinson. But happy with Robinson come off the bench to strengthen us with his quality.
Think we win 3-1 today. Robertson, salech and Robinson.

Think NG probably chosen for more to bully duberry

Yes for last 5 minutes roger but not long term... (10mins+) its a risk that shouldn't be taken especially against such a good side

Ng

He’s done it very well before now; but let’s hope it doesn’t become a necessity!

Surely there's a missprint with the subs?? We're never going into this game without a back up keeper.

Hmm not sure another 5 changes seems customary now for these type of managers like riza bbm I don't personally like so many changes every game I'd prefer Kpakio because they have alot of pace with there wingers so choosing Perry not sure just an opinion

How many times and how many minutes? Remember last 5mins in a game any more?

5 changes again, let's hope tinkerman don't have to change things again after half time after being battered 1st half. We need to be on the front foot from the off and get some balls in the box rather than tappy back to the goalkeeper stuff although I thought wintle would come in for Turnbull for sure today

Surely there's a missprint with the subs?? We're never going into this game without a back up keeper.

Looked on ccfc and we've got 5 subs Bolton got 7 so something missing

Not too sure, but I do recall he did well, and was ‘rated’ by the coaching staffs and players

Not saying it’s right to go without a back-up, but maybe circumstances dictate?

We’ve seen decent keepers make good strikers (Josh McGennis was a good example), so maybe some outfield players can do the reverse?

Maybe Turner injured or got sick ? I doubt very much they travelled without a back up keeper.

Delighted to see Robertson straight in. Best centre back pairing too. Come on city

Very surprising team.

He is either a genius or picks for the opposition or training as Chambers and Kpakio are very very unlucky not to be starting.

Can't see what Turnbull gives us, but i am just a fan

They have even commentator said Ng as cover? Let's hope he doesn't get injured!
