Premier League here we come.

Ouch, feel your pain after falling victim to a roving camera myself recently.

My own fault, Wingy. Used a parking app, parked in a hotel car park, but didn't read the instructions which said I had to report to reception and give them my reg number. Dumb.

On Saturday we're in a Sainsbury's car park, which is much better.

Another bad one was Preston the year before last. Went into a bus lane, twice, eight minutes apart, two £45 fines!

Hmmm...death, taxes, and Torchomatic getting a parking fine at grounds Coventry City never win at...

'Coventry have won just one of their past 21 away league games against Derby (D9 L11); a 3-1 victory in October 2003.'

'Coventry haven't won their opening away game in any of the past seven league campaigns (D3 L4) since winning 2-0 at Grimsby Town in League Two back in 2017-18.'

Still, first trip to Derby

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

One less midfielder away from home? Unlikely. If EMC is injured then Wright plays left and Simms up top.

4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 are more or less the same formation. Rudoni and the starting striker sit in a 4-4-2 shape out of possession.

Rudoni and Wright had free roles v Hull and Luton, the play style being different of course but there isn’t much difference.

 

[skyblue_55]

Lampard doesn’t take any notice of Coventry city’s historical incompetence, but puts a more professional slant on these “ we won’t get a result here “ fixtures , so a massive challenge ahead , on our first away game ……fingers & everything else crossed

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

I would be happy with a draw to be honest

 

[Covcraig@bury]

2-2 can’t see us winning

 

[Johhny Blue]

Watching Bidwell @ Derby Away last year, I have never shook my head so much during a match

You don’t watch tennis?

 

[Ashdown]

Hope it's better than the last game at Derby. Awful performance and a £60 parking fine.

Rip off Britain, fucking scraping money out of people at every opportunity.

 

[quinn1971]

another clean sheet and another for simms,

I thought you were all for law and order?

2.0 Cov

 

[Nick]

If we play like we did last year. They totally dominated us.

 

[Paxman II]

We win this at a canter.

 

[StrettoBoy]

I feel a bit pessimistic about this one, for no better reason than we always seem to struggle as their place.

In an effort to cheer myself up, I’m going to predict another clean sheet and Simms or Rudoni to grab us a winner.

I am , but councils and private companies in the UK totally take advantage of people in regards to parking cars.

You can just not park like a prick. It’s possible.

Not often i agree with you but i do here. We spend sometimes half an hour driving round to park legally then get tossers here moaning when they cant a ticket cos they cant be arsed.

I go to watch Elche in Spain regularly and there are great swathes of land around the Martinez where people park for nothing, same in all the streets around.
Theres a car park on site like at the CBS, do you have to pay, no !!
My wife has to pay £60 a month to park to work in a hospital in Coventry.
You go to our beaches in Spain, do you pay to park, do you fuck !
We get squeezed here for every penny !

 

[Mcbean]

We have to pay for parking at Stratford town now !

 

[Ashdown]

Same at the Alicante airport, you pull up and have 15 mins to drop someone off for free ,what is it at B’ham…£7 now

Drop them off at Birmingham International and they can catch the monorail. It's what I do

Derby 2 -0 Coventry

Think we will struggle tomorrow , generally not a happy hunting ground for us

 

[Offhegoes]

We had some shocking away performances / results at the end of last season. Derby and Plymouth being the worst. The Luton performance had a bit of fight, but that's all. Saying that though, I've been quite impressed from the first 2 games. 4-0 Cov with Derby down to 10 men at some point (red card).

 

[edgy]

Derby will play the same system as us and Morris will show what is expected of a No 9 in that system. We are fortunate though that they are struggling with several injuries and they do not have any recognised wide players available.
