Discuss theCoventry City vs Rotherham United match, tactics and predictions
We should win this, again we will have alot of the ball just like Swansea against these. They will hoof ball, long throws and get the crosses in.
Simple plan stop the crosses , win first header and we win this easy. Our football will do the talking.
Keep a clean sheet, and we win. We dont need to change it too much. Only changes id make is.
Control the midfield and we win match.
Palmer for Godden
Dabo for eccles
Id keep Bidwell at wing back purely for defensive reasons.
I'm sure hes better defensively than adaramola who's supposed to be a young inexperienced Wing back.He was appalling defensively vs sunderland
It's amazing Richard Wood is still going at this level. Fair play to him I guess.
He was slow 12 years ago though!
Mate is a Rotherham fan he says they play wing backs and 3 cbs like ourselves and they are the three slowest player he's ever seen. He said pace and ball on the deck and we'll batter them. Apparently Swansea just kept going long on saturday and Richard Wood and co were mopping it up easy.
Not sure where he's got that from, it's the absolute opposite of how any Russell Martin team plays:
76% Possession - 1st in the Championship
89% Pass Accuracy - 1st in the Championship
90% Short Passes - 1st in the Championship
7% Long Passes - Fewest in the Championship
3% Crosses
Rotherham only contested 23 aerial duels all game & only won 10 of them.
Agree on their system & weaknesses though.
They are a direct side, Ogbene is a real threat up top, some surprise they have managed to keep hold of him actually. They'll go direct to him as often as possible with Connor Washington playing just off him.
In my opinion, they are probably weaker than the team they put out in this division 2 years ago & probably even weaker than their L1 team with the loss of Smith, Ladapo & Ihiekwe & struggling to recruit.
They are very tough to break down though so we may need to be patient, an early goal either way could be massive.
Against Swansea they flooded the centre of the pitch to restrict space & even their wingbacks tucked in on occasion. It worked. Swansea despite having literally all the ball really struggled to create & were restricted to a lot of long shots although one of course resulted in Harry Darling's wonder goal.
On paper, that game plan would usually work well against us, denying Sheaf, Hamer & O'Hare space to work in.
In the absence of O'Hare, might be one for the more attacking wingbacks & trying to create space out wide.
Anything but a win would be a disaster.
We are only 1 game in. As long as we don’t lose, it will be fine. And even if we do , it is far from disastrous.Anything but a win would be a disaster.
Definitely change things around. Moore to edge it in goal but only with his ears ringing that if he pulls a Lee Burge again he’s out for Wilson. Still annoying me.
Moore
Hyam Fadz Panzo
Dabo Hamer Allen Sheaf Adaramola
Godden Györkeres
Two banks of three and let the wingbacks bomb on.
Honestly thought we were playing Bristol tomorrow ffs
