@CalumChambers95 and Isaak come into the City starting XI!

Well, at one point it looked as though the defence would be decimated today - but a few recoveries from illness appear to have been made.

Calum Chambers and Joel Bagan start, while Will Fish, the other illness concern, is on the bench, too.

David Turnbull, who was a doubt with a groin injury, has made the cut, however Nathan Trott is a notable absentee, with Matt Turner in goal.

There is, once again, no replacement 'keeper on the bench.

Decent, especially considering the illness in the squad - hasn't impacted us too much.

Hopefully get back to winning ways today.

BBM has created a squad where if a few players are out we can bring in very similar.
There’s not much difference or impact on the starting 11.

Definitely need a win today.

Very true mate. A lot complain that he changes the starting 11 to much every game but as you pointed out, that has created a squad of starters.

Most of that bench would get into any championship team let alone league one :bluescarf:

Indeed, mate! This is where the BBM ‘quality’ of the squad beats the ‘[i]size’ of the squad! :ayatollah:
