Discuss the Coventry City - Norwich City match, tactics and predictions

Woolf for Thomas, Tats for BTA, KKH for DaSilva if he's injured.

Never seem to beat these bastards at home. I haven't seen us beat them since Lee Hughes last minute winner at HR in 2002.

 

[Briles]

I'm hoping Norwich wont start Sargent as he plays Wednesday and Likely wouldn't be back until Thursday/Friday. I think without him I'm confident of a 2-1/3-1 win

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Left to right squad for Norwich.


Think Tats will help out defensively which we’ll need versus Norwich. BTA also a good option off the bench.

Woolf above Thomas, personal opinion but think Kitching has done better so far as deserves to keep his spot.

Brau only starts depending on how fit Dasilva is.

 

[procdoc]

Rushworth
MVE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Grimes Torp
Sakamoto Rudoni EMC
Wright

Wilson, Woolfenden, Brau, Eccles, BTA, Allen, Simms, KKH, Bidwell

 

[TomRad85]

We never beat these but Frank has broken every other curse. I think a narrow win for us.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I don't really get people dropping out both CB's for Woolfenden

We used to beat this lot at home...always, back in the day. "Giddy Up" City. Sorry was watching college football at wkend
What else is there to do on intl breaks ??

 

[CovValleyBoy]

If Wolf is playing as last man (reading the play) I would play him & Thomas as centre backs. Sorry Kitch.

Hunch is Lampard starts on bench

Do that again please, seeing MVE and Tats on that side is messing with my head.

 

[Captain Dart]

A back 3 and wing backs.

 

[David O'Day]

Rushworth
MVE-Thomas-Kitching-JDS/MAB depending on injury status
Torp-Grimes

Hunch is Lampard starts on bench

I think he has to start Wolf on the bench purely for morale reasons. Whichever of the middle 2 get dropped they wont be happy given we are unbeaten. We will need one of them to massively cock up/have a poor showing in training/Injury first. Plus Wolfenden has been on the bench for a while at Ipswich so wont be a shock to the system. I'm sure when he does get his chance he will be class.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

This block of 3 games is a real litmus test for where we’re at as a team. Norwich, Leicester and Blues is a tough run in and 7+ points in those 3 games gives a lot of cause for optimism.

Under Lampard we’ve done well to beat teams where we’ve had bad records and back us to add to that this weekend.

2-1 to Cov.

Haven't you got the brain power to just put players on the proper sides?

 

[Gint11]

Nothing to fear against these but they have our number at home. Voodoo break required

Disagree. The manner with which we've consistently conceded goals is justification for making a change now.

 

[ccfc1234]

Think it's because we have been conceding a lot of goals albeit away from home.

 

[quinn1971]

first proper test for us, need to be winning these games. 3-1 cov, woolfenden on the bench and brau to start

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

I put people on right to left people moan, I put people on left to right people moan

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I'd be happy with 5/6 from the next 3.

 

[Chris1987]

Decent test and potential indicator of where we are at. Cutting out the defensive errors should yield a win

 

[TomRad85]

I'd be happy with 5/6 from the next 3.

I agree, think its a good return and keeps us ticking over nicely. Be nice to stay unbeaten at home to keep the CBS as a fortress of sorts. Obviously i don't want to be losing to Leicester but going there is going to be very difficult.

Think if we’re serious we should be looking at 10 points from our first five considering the opposition.

Leicester and Brum will be a challenge but the three after that we should pick up points from. I’d take three draws and two wins across the five I think.

I think being unbeaten after 10 games would be unlikely. I'd like it, but i can't see it.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

4-1 wright with a worldly hat trick

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Probably lose to that Blues super team

Yeah that’s fair. Fine I’ll take 8 from the next five but we’d better get 12 from the five after that. Must win(s)

He will absolutely start.

 

[TomRad85]

Just to annoy me we'll probably put on our most limp display of the season against them.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

2-1 to the mighty sky blues goals from Rudoni and Wright

 

[skybluelee]

My youngest daughter is coming to this. Her recent record is 1 win in the last 19 games she's been to. She's seen two Norwich home games in that time. One as mascot in Jan 23 (lost 2-4) and last season (lost 0-1).

If anybody sees a 14 yo wandering around Chieveley Services looking lost on Saturday morning its because we've left her there when she went to the toilet.

 

[Gibbo]

This game last year told me three things. One, Robins appearred to losing control of the situation, two 4-4-2 is too inflexible for the modern game and three, Bassette was not up to it (he came on as a sub iirc) - see other thread.

We rarely do well against this lot, sadly. Despite being active over the summer their start must be seen as disappointing. We'll score, and sadly, so will they. 3-2 or something like that.

 

[Potbellypig]

Same team. No subs until the 86th minute.

 

[Cally Fedora]

I’d go with
MVE Thomas Kitching Brau
Torp Grimes
BTA Rudoni EMC
Wright
