    100% agree with the above. Small caveat that wouldnt be disappointed with Simms instead of Wright, who stole his wage last night frustratingly. I dont predict a scoring frenzy as some are but do expect us to win; 2-0.

    Back 4 picks itself. It looked as if Saka was hobbling worse than me after walking football....!, on Saturday, so Esse to start; Close call between Eccles/Torp in midfield but hopefully FTT is fit, so I'd pick Torp (just) as we are at home; I think BTA has looked really fresh when he's come...

    Would you have Hamer back?

    Irrespective of which league were in next season its a definite No from me. No doubt he was a gem when with us and gave me some amazing memories and emotions but thats where they should stay in my view; no need to try and replay the past. Irrespective of who is manager next season, I think...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Preston North End FC Match Thread - Wednesday 11th Mar

    Another gnarly, uninspiring tough championship game. The type which can define seasons and where we can end up being frustrated and disappointed if we dont win the individual battles first. Despite their supporters pessimism, as most teams do, they will want to make it as difficult as possible...

    I'm not one for rotating for the sake of it - confidence will be high so stay with the same starting XI unless injury (Wright's shoulder?) or the fatigue data suggests to the contrary. Every expectation this will not be a classic free flowing goal fest. Moreso, a really physical battle. Dont...

    No surprise , and happy, we've kept the same XI. Bench looks light years ahead of what we had available earlier in the season. Time for everyone to show up again.

    Fair play to FL. Made some big calls and rightly so in my view. Time for those selected to show they deserve their spot and put in a shift. Apart from EMC, the bench is pretty stacked, which is good to see. No more excuses. It's time to switch on and put a run together. It'll be a battle but...

    What was your first game

    My Grandad played in goal for city during the 1919-20 season, albeit for only 3 games.... Not sure I should be admitting this, given they were infamously shite.....

    What was your first game

    December 1976, just turned 8 1-1 v Ipswich Stood on the Kop with my Dad, right at the top. Don't remember much about the game itself. Do remember the walk across Gosford Park, the smells and just how cold it was.

    Got exactly what we deserved. Woeful performance from any player representing CCFC; no one comes out of that with any credit whatsoever. Piss poor passing, ball control and movement. Failure to do any of the basics; completely over run in midfield, bullied defensively and didn't capitalise on...

    Will be interesting to see if FL does switch it up tonight... personally think he will start Eccles (over Torp) and Tats (over Esse) Rushworth MVE Lati Kitch JDS Grimes Eccles Tats Rudoni EMC Simms Wright, Esse, BTA, Torp, possibly Minny, to hopefully finish the job Another tight game and...

    Rushworth MVE Woolf Kitch JDS Torp Grimes Esse Rudi EMC Simms Potentially strongest bench for some time Wilson Lati Bidders Eccles Andrews Saka Minny BTA Wright Thomas and Allen still to come back in. Expecting a poor game with neither side in any real form, them set up to frustrate, and an...

    Hard earned point on a difficult pitch and with quite a number of regulars not starting/missing. No great fluency or cohesion but still should have been all 3 had we seen the game out with a professional, do the basics right, approach, except no, thanks to a ridiculous piece of Sunday league...

    As all have said, hard to pick without any info on the bug but my 'best case' if Saka, Torp, Thomas, Kitch, MvE still down with the flu, and BTA still out, will be: Rushie Lati Wolf Bidders KKH Grimes Eccles Brau Rudi Simms EMC Wilson, Allen, Wright plus the kids on the bench. Hopefully most...
