    And rightly so, we are unanimous in our thoughts on that partnership and the waste of Bayliss out wide. That’s rare for SBT. As per my previous post, I’m worried he will go with Kelly/Doyle to try to compensate for the enforced defensive changes.

    Disappointed I’m missing tomorrow, especially after sitting through every home game with 6/7k, I’m going to miss seeing the stadium full for the first time in ages! I think we’ll win tomorrow, mainly because we absolutely have to, so hopefully they are fired up, however if we start with...

    Quite a narrow midfield, as neither Bayliss or Barratt play like traditional wingers/wide players. It’s great he has the option to rotate the squad so much - such a different place to last season. Strong bench again too.

    Welcome Jonson Clarke-Harris

    The worries re attitude are fair based on things we have heard, but hopefully he’s moved on and matured. His interview certainly implied that. As has already been said, if there are any behavioural issues then the experienced pros, such as Doyle, Kelly and even Baker, would stamp them out, as...

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    If the following happened I’d be happy: One attacker/winger in New contract for Bayliss Reid gone No other departures If we also signed a second forward, I’d be a lot more than happy. Not sure on JCH, we don’t want any bad apples, no matter the ability. However he may have matured and be...

    He’s not the only one. We aren’t playing well, we didn’t first half either, they just happened to be worse. Now they’ve started to play a bit our poor performance is being exposed. McDonald is not having a good time against their number 9. He’s showing his limitations a little.

    Is it just me or do we look a bit tired? Also, as I always say I appreciate the job Doyle does, but I’m sick of his attempted chips forward towards the strikers....

    Pitch is shit. Crowd is shit. Back to BAU. I’m glad Brighton is a limited allocation.

    I’ll be cynical; Stevenson and Willis both out as they are being sold? Incredibly disappointed with the DKE selection; it’s the wrong DKE, never mind wrong selection! One positive though; Bayliss back in the middle. Still predicting a win.

    I’d go: Burge Grimmer Willis Davies Stokes Barratt Bayliss Kelly/Doyle Shipley Biamou McNulty Davies purely for his aerial prowess and Bayliss back in the middle where he can influence the game and drive us forward. I’d also give Barratt another go, as I think against a L2 defence he could...

    Actually feeling pretty confident for tomorrow. After Saturday the team should be on a real high and hopefully we play to our potential and attack the opposition. My only concern is fatigue - they all worked really hard on Saturday, so hopefully we don’t have a hangover from that. Especially on...

    Weird selection, but based on the bench I’d assume all bar Shipley are enforced.

    Three changes?!! Keeper, Davies and maybe Bayliss? Really hope it’s not the latter too.

    So I'm putting a few quid on mcnulty first goal

    I’ve got the same bet, plus him to score anytime and us to win, and the same bet with Davies...! Also, I’ve copied the Ballyhill bet!

    0 - 2. McNulty and Bayliss. Unreal scenes amongst the SBA for both goals and a strong rendition of various Cov songs at the final whistle.
