Match Thread Coventry City - Leeds United Match Thread - Saturday 6th Apr (1 Viewer)

Brilliant, shite, clueless, fabulous win, season over, still a bit of a chance, we're going up, baby.

Something along the lines of that.

Anyway. 2-1 to the City.

So, it's the baby one for me.

Got to say, the result yesterday dampened by optimism for the league season. Feel like we need 4 points from the next two now.

That was always on before yesterday, expect a revamp personnel changes to come!!

A very tough game, Leeds are on a fantastic run would definitely take a point. I think Robins will freshen it up this time.

O’Hare in for Palmer, and Robins will probably do one of those crazy things that throws everyone like start Tavares or something.

Binks to get the start!

1-1. Summerville to get really hurt.

Must win!
In all fairness - jokes aside, if we are aiming for playoffs - after yesterday, it is.
This will not be a tight affair. Leeds can't play like that.
Honestly don't think we'll be able to cope with their pace.
It will be a game where we will get chances, and if we don't take them, we'll lose.

A lose for me we just give teams to much space on the wings to cross balls.

He can't start a team like he did at their place.

I'm thinking back to the Leicester game. That's the kind of performance we need.

I can see some Robins Roulette. Maybe something strange like a 5 in midfield?

Collins
MVE Thomas Kitch Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles
COH Palmer
Wright Simms

Go at em, they'll play football, against teams that play we're as good as anybody.

Alternatively remove wright and play Torp, pack the midfield, scrape a 1-0. Either way we do em

MVE and Bidwell would get doubled up and absolutely rinsed in that formation against Leeds IMO.

OHare for Palmer, they look more beatable than they did a few weeks ago, 2-1 win.

Need to go and try and beat them, not play for a draw.

2-2

Kitching with both.

Wright and Simms for us.

Genuinely think he might do something like Dasilva at left mid to play a 451 (Torp/Eccles/Sheaf) midfield. Or even Eccles wide right, O'Hare in the middle.

Yeah it’s going to change. Double up on Summerville. Nullify that threat and we have a genuine chance of beating them.

Yep I can see it being something like

Collins
Lati – Thomas – Kitching – Bidwell
MVE – Eccles – Sheaf – Dasilva
O’Hare
Simms

SBT to lose it’s collective shit and declare it game lost at 2.01pm, only for us to scrape a late 1-0 win.

On balance I wouldn't even be too unhappy with that, as long as he's prepared to make aggressive subs.

Yeah. Might need a little out of the box thinking to try and catch Leeds out.

Gutted that we missed the opportunity yesterday to close the gap on Norwich, especially as our other rivals for the 6th spot, all lost. Hey ho.

Need to win this one. I think we need 4 or 6 points from this one and Southampton to have a shot at that 6th place. If we get at least 4, I'd be happy.

Interesting weather currently forecast for Saturday afternoon with 40mph wind and rain. Not going to be fun conditions...

I'd play Palmer wide right, and slot O'Hare in the No10. role. Sheaf and Torp to start in the middle. MVE back to right back. Attack minded, but we have to go for it

League performance of the season needed...

Hopefully Ipswich can do us a favour Saturday but their record in the Derby against Norwich at Carrow Road makes for grim reading

Think if we go for it we get battered, cagey game with one goal in it either way. So I’m going 1-1.

I see no reason we can't win this game. We just beat Wolves, why would we be scared of Leeds? yes last two games have been leggy but we will be back on it Saturday.

I hope we go for it, we can beat anyone at home on our day.

It's a Derby, that Norwich have had the upper hand in over the years, at Carrow Road

No reason why Norwich can't or won't turn them over

Seriously now, Leeds have been the best we’ve come up against this season imo. League and Cup.

There's plenty of reasons why we might not win the game, not least that they are better than us and we don't have a big enough squad for all these matches. But we could win, and as you say they aren't as good as Wolves.
