Match Thread Blackburn Rovers - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Jan

[Nick]

Discuss the Blackburn Rovers - Coventry City match, tactics and predictions

 

[Deity]

Bidwell back in
One of Lati or BTA not to start.

 

[alexccfc99]

I'm sure this will get flagged up on their forum at a later date if they do beat us but oh well

I really don’t think these are as good as their league position suggests and I fancy us to get a result

Fancy us to win this

 

[TomRad85]

I don't think we've got enough to start winning these types of away games yet. Fingers crossed though, we look harder to score against so that's a start.

 

[ptr]

If we are serious about getting second place still then it’s an absolute must win.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Same squad again I’d think to be honest. Back three all did a great job and no harm in showing BTA to one of the clubs wanting to buy him if he can pull of another wonder shot

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Start the same team and I think it will be 1-1

 

[PVA]

Harsh to change a winning side but with three games in a week you wouldn't begrudge some changes.

Only problem is the main candidates to come in would be Thomas, Bidwell, Eccles and Bassette. And to bring those in would mean dropping one off the better players from yesterday - Dasilva, Simms, Torp etc.

 

[alexccfc99]

2-0 BTA and Kitching

 

[AOM]

Only changes I'd make if all fit are Bidwell for Dasilva and Thomas for Latibaudiere.

1-2 win

 

[covcity4life]

Take a draw!

 

[rexo87]

Only change I’d make is Thomas for Binks

 

[Gibbo]

Rarely disagree with you Deity, but I'd leave Lati and BTA in. Bassette lacks BTA's footwork skills and Lati doesn't give the ball away so easily.

Bidwell, meanwhile, is a deity.....

For Lati

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

Blackburn form not great at the moment and looks like Tronstad is now injured.
I feel 5th place is flattering them, I fancy us taking a back to back win here. Let’s continue our recovery. PUSB!

 

[rexo87]

For Lati

Na Lati was great yesterday, yes he looks unorthodox at times but he can actually defend

 

[skybluecam]

Our run of fixtures coming up is actually starting to look quite good. Blackburn and Watford have hit the buffers recently (both only won 1 of last 5). Then it's Swansea, QPR, Wednesday, Preston, Oxford, Stoke. They all look winnable to me.

 

[Tommo1993]

Don’t say it.



…must win.

At this rate no wins we get can be counted lol

QPR 2nd in form table over last 10 games, and Oxford's home form has been excellent - but yes, it still looks a nice 'group' of games to pick u[ points - particularly if EMC and Wright are available for some.

 

[PVA]

Oxford have really picked up recently. Now that's a new manager bounce

 

[Potbellypig]

Even though they're clearly much better than us on the pitch this season, I look at the teams on paper and it still strikes me as very much a winnable game. CCFC blinkers perhaps, but hey.

 

[Hutch11]

1-2 win

Why?

 

[no_loyalty]

Same starting lineup, really no need to change it.

Blackburn 0 City 1.

 

[Monty]

I'm agreeing with the Thomas for Binks suggestions. Also think FL is aware of the number of minutes in legs so think Thomas for Binks makes sense. Bar the fact Eccles.didnt look his best yesterday would of potentially expected him in for Torp because of defensive capabilities but after yesterday's performances unsure if this would be a goer now

 

[steve101]

Credit to Eustace. When I look at their individual players I am not particularly worried. However, he has them playing well as a unit. If we can keep the energy levels up that we have shown the last two games then we will give them a good game. Unless any fitness issues, I would start Thomas-Asante. Never a fan of rotating a striker who has scored the previous game.

 

[shmmeee]

Same again. Got a good feeling about this one.

 

[fatso]

This mornings tea leaves are saying it's a draw!

Their forum seems to be saying the same

 

[fernandopartridge]

We've just kept a rare clean sheet so I would leave the back 3 as it is.

 

[Captain Dart]

Jamie Allen has had a lot of minutes recently. I know he has been pretty good in the last few games but he might be back on the bench till the last 30mins on Tues to save him for Saturday.

 

[Jamesimus]

Thought when we last played them they could play a bit, but completely lost the physical battle against us and their heads dropped. Point as a minimum for me.

 

[CV22SBA]

For Lati

Lati needs to stay in the team . He's the only leader and knows the dirty tricks to play. How many times did he bully and foul Armstrong when he came on? Just what we need at the moment. If it was Binks/Thomas/Kitching yesterday that Armstrong would have got a goal.

Agree, said yesterday he did well to disrupt yesterday
