    Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Friday 18th Apr

    Sky showed a statistic that something like 65% of Hull's attacks came down our left third. They were targeting that side - could be due to JDS's perceived weaknesses or because Gelhardt is the better winger If i was trying to get in behind us I would target JDS rather than MvE who can recover...

    Summer Transfer Window

    A good LB & RW would put us about where Sunderland are I reckon Would need so much more to bridge that gap to the top 3 - only Wright/Rudoni/MvE would get into their teams I reckon

    This is the thing. I’m fairly relaxed about the whole thing because if we can’t get 4 points from WBA/Boro at home we’re not winning the play offs anyway

    Why don’t we try and see out games like we used to? Binks for Sheaf on 75 and go 5-4-1 and shut it down (like at Blackburn) We were better than them but they did keep getting chances

    Isn’t offside and a lucky deflection. Can’t blame Collins or Da Silva Been our inability to finish chances that have been at fault

    God that defence worries me. Lati really needs to step up tonight and show why Burnley wanted him

    Our best run of form this season came with Wright/EMC/Sheaf all out. If true it is a blow but if Frank adapts correctly we'll be fine. My biggest worry is using a 4 with Lati/Binks & DaSilva away from home. It screams 2 goals conceded. 5-3-2 will serve us better. Stay solid and wait for the...

    Really could have done with Sheff U winning to cut Plymouth adrift before we play them but always good seeing them lose

    We can beat Sheff U in the play offs if we drop our high line. They’re incredible with space in behind but not so good otherwise

    Last season when Wright got rotated we had to play Palmer at LW - clearly Doug was trying to rectify that Think the plan was for EMC to have a season as understudy and Wright to be sold this summer - don’t think that will happen now due to Wrights injury

    Didn’t realise Bristol were outperforming their xG so much - hopefully it averages out over the next 5

    Sheaf and Grimes

    If Grimes goes into midfield you're asking for Kitching/Thomas to play passes through the press into midfield... with little cover if they get it wrong. I would also like Grimes receiving it more in midfield and turning on the ball, but its just not feasible unless you have CB's that are very...

    Marcus Edwards against JDS/Bidwell is the stuff of nightmares. Going to take a very good performance to get anything here.

    Initial prognosis

    A loan for a promising/surplus keeper will hopefully be rarely inexpensive - Chelsea have about 10 tell Frank to give them a ring

    Initial prognosis

    Add GK to the summer shopping list then

    They definitely had us at arms length though. Have the ball but there was little to no space when we approached the final third. They’re the best counter-attacking side in the league - far too much quality and pace in transition. Think Lampard got it tactically wrong continuing his philosophy...

    Jake Bidwell

    Hoping it’s an injury he’s carrying rather than that his legs are gone. Surprised Lampard hasn’t shifted the 4-4-2 defensive shape for a midfielder to cover LM rather than EMC - as it’s not working away from home

    Collins was our keeper for the 3-month period last season when we were the 4th best team in the league where he looked assured. It is clear that he is a massive confidence player and if it goes we’re going to struggle. Fans digging him out, groaning, and shouting abuse is only going to make...
