Don't care how we win - but I think they are better going forward than defending - so please, let's attack them!! Also, in iffy conditions, wet pitch etc, team attacking most is likely to benefit most from errors caused by wet pitch etc

Looking at past games they can break very quickly, but do a lot of arsing around at the back to get themselves in trouble. Look at their 3rd against Cambridge for why we can't have another Burge howler.

Do you make these and update them yourself? They’re really good. Have a Kozil and Becherovka.

I wish I did make them, I love the stats and trends that emerge over a season! They're taken from, what for me, is an amazing site:
Coventry City league table and stats, 2017/2018 .
All I really do is trawl through our next opposition stats, look for trends and pull out what I think are either the key stats or points of interest.

---------------Burge----------------
Grimmer--Willis --Davies--Stokes
---Bayliss--Doyle--Kelly--Shipley---
--------Biamou----McNulty---------

Bench
O'Brien, Mcdonald, DKE, Barrett, JMD, Beavon, Clarke-Harris.

I'm going for a crazy 3-4 win. 2-0 Forest Green at half time and a second half come back with 2 late goals with the winner from Clarke-Harris to announce himself.

McNulty 2, Davies and Clarke-Harris with the goals

We're all be buzzing out of our tree at 5pm as we go into the autos.

...top marks for those who've travelled and bracing the elements at the new lawn today.

I’m going for a 3-1 win.

I’m hoping the DKE brothers, JMD & JCH all play the entire game as it’ll make reporting a lot easier Atleast until someone asks ‘which DKE was it’

Not sure about using Bayliss wide myself.
We'll see I guess.

I’m going for a 2-0 win.

Just got Burnley v Man City on the box and the Burnley fans just sung a song to the tune of ‘in our Coventry homes’.

He did OK at MK, but he isn't a winger. He tends to drift inside.

Their team


Forgot they had Rawson, Doidge and Reid up front might be tricky but I guess that's why Davies is in!

Osbourne in the middle as well.

Traoré was their best player at the Ricoh, not in the squad.

And I can't see Kelly playing wide right. That wouldn't suit him either. I think it's a case of maybe wanting to strengthen the middle of the park, but not drop Bayliss.

That’s probably the strongest city
Side and bench we’ve had since Callum Wilson and Leon Clarke left...

Yep. When we sing it the bloke in front has a dryer head though.

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.

Am a bit nervous about today's game, their 2 strikers on paper should be one of the best in the league.

So they’re each half of one of the best strikers?

Sign of great things ahead then.

If it was 'What do I get' then the answer is three points and a nice day out.
