    Match Thread Derby County - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Mar

    Have to fancy ourselves here - rumours of them missing 10 players through injury + our fantastic form. I know we have doubts on EMC and MVE, I'd be siding to resting them with some bigger games on the horizon (albeit Lati scares me, Wright is class but maybe not match fit for a start) I'd also...

    Match Thread Oxford United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 1st Mar

    I do agree but think it's a shame. With the run upcoming of Sheff Utd, Sunderland and Burnley all in a row we can be fairly confident they won't get a sniff.

    Is Lampard actually Gareth Southgate in disguise?

    Southgate was one of the most successful England managers? Southgate was able to work with the players and he’s said it himself, works with statistics to ultimately dictate the playstyle, formation etc. The comparison is that Lampard has statistically been one of the best managers in the...

    Match Thread Oxford United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 1st Mar

    I’d remain the same starting 11. I saw a few comments on Eccles but he played well first half, made a good few challenges in the second. A touch pressed on the ball in the 2nd but did well. Sheaf isn’t match ready and to chuck him in without minutes is risking another setback, keep him rested...

    Is Lampard actually Gareth Southgate in disguise?

    Does anyone else feel like Lamps and Southgate play a very similar style? Very slow and progressive, riding our luck at times, not the sexiest of football but the results speak for themselves. I know Southgate relied a lot on statistics, making decisions that to the fans looked bizarre but gave...

    Premier league standard

    If we look at the stats on the team, all of them indicate we should be higher in the table. It's the same as previous years but if we'd have not fumbled the start of the year we would be in a totally different position and perhaps we'd think our squad had better quality. We have a shaky defence...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    If you look at how we play, we will 100% concede big chances against QPR. We have nearly every game we’ve played just had some unbelievable saves from Dovin. Got to have an emphasis on getting forward and converting our chances. 5-3-2 seems to leave us with no options moving the ball forward, we...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    I’d like to see us match up man for man 4-2-3-1. Lati I’d drop, he’s had a tough time and take the pressure off. Grimes coming in will help us work as a 4 at the back allowing us to not panic from the back. Here’s how I’d go… Dovin Mve, Thomas, Binks, Bidwell(if fit) Grimes, Eccles Sakamoto...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Leeds United - Match Thread - Weds 5th Feb 7.45pm KO

    Poor to give away 2 goals like that. Subs at half time if we want anything out of this game. Grimes will help with ball retention. Screaming out for Bassette! Stick him on Ampadu.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Leeds United - Match Thread - Weds 5th Feb 7.45pm KO

    Sheaf and Eccles got run rings around during our last encounter. Albeit the formation didn't work for anyone. I can see Grimes and Allen sitting just in front of the defence. Grimes played well when Swansea lost 4-3 to them, collects the ball off the defence with calmness, something we struggle...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Leeds United - Match Thread - Weds 5th Feb 7.45pm KO

    Leeds are a dominant force and the only time they look like they may conceded is with quick breaks or being caught out with wingbacks entering the box late. I can sense a red card tonight, they're a very physical team and we need to be up for the fight. Leeds like to be strong in the challenge...
