I think Tats will be available.

A clean sheet would be nice, wouldn't it?

Andy Turner saying Sakamoto came off with a head injury from the grimes shot and could be a concussion, which would make him unavailable for 14 days?

Isn't it a minimum of 21 days after after completing a Graduated Return to Activity and Sport programme?

Think Rudoni might start. I sense Lampard keen to get him back in. Only concern is Simms and lack of cover, he gets a knock early in the game and what options do we have, play a false 9? That would have to be Rudoni I guess, but if he's cooked after 70 minutes, it leaves us with very few options.

Bobby Thomas and I’m not even joking. He’s a reverse Dublin waiting to happen I’m telling you.

Ah yeah you're right there seems to be an enhanced care setting return to play pathway.

Seems like it's 12 days but caveats that it can be 7 if exceptional circumstances are met.

Rushworth
KKH Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Andrews Grimes
Sakamoto Eccles EMC
Simms

Wilson
Woolfenden
JDS
MVE
Rudoni
Wright (if fit)
Brau
Allen
That 16/17yr kid who was on the bench recently

If there's a game in the next month that we can afford to rest a couple, I'd do it in this one and not rush Rudoni back either. Less minutes in this one and a weeks rest before the tougher fixtures kick in.

Yeah. I've stopped the habit of going into every game fearing this is the one where we come unstuck, we're clearly not that team. But, this one worries me, expect a reaction from them and they'll sit and make it hard for us. Any team that can rock up to Ipswich and win 3-0 has a big performance in their locker.

3 first half goals allowing Frankie to rest key players for Ipswich in the second half. 5-0 Coventry.

He'd quite clearly score a lot as a target man centre forward. It's a ridiculous thing to say about most centre backs but for him i think its actually legit. Opposition defences just cannot handle him at all.

Hopefully Tats ok for Sat but if not MVE moves to the right in midfield ?

I would agree, but I think FL will be worrying about their workload too... EMC obviously played more than was expected and might be asking too much for him to get through another full 90 on the opposite side?

We have not concided in 2 games this season both have been nil nil .We don't want to drop 2 points something like 4-1 to us will do.
I've supported City for 67years now and even in JH's era I never felt so positve we were going to win games as I am now.

I am expecting a win (I am most games now), but this is a league where anyone can beat anyone on the day and it would be proper Coventry to beat both second place teams and then lose to a team who has conceded 8 in 2 games.
We will lose at some point, but luckily we've done the work so far to allow us a loss or a few draws and keep a gap.

Would like to rest Van Ewijk if possible but if we're short on the wings then not really going to be an option.

I'd imagine we'll look at heavily target their left hand side due to their injury issues. They looked vulnerable there last night looking at the highlights.

He would have had to be 10' tall to get on some of the crosses Saka put in against WBA.

Bree, who's albeit a RB, was back against Stoke at RWB who's a decent player. Amari'i Bell was on the bench also but didn't come on. Doubt Edwards will be back as it seems he's not back for a couple of weeks. The strikers that started last night they have 1 goal between them so far this season.

Carey and Bree look to be their biggest threat from a goalscoring / creativity POV.

Wish I could shake myself out of the beaten dog state the last few decades supporting Cov has left me in.

Why can't I stop expecting the wheels to fall off?! all stats point to us creaming Charlton on Saturday but still I have a nagging worry about an 'after the lord mayors show' performance. Injuries, complacency among fans, Saints & Ipswich clicking just have me worried. I need to man up I know but I've been conditioned to feel this way!

Its just a case of Sky Blue Fever, all of us are conditioned to the classic Cov, bottling and falling apart. But this feels different, Lampard has put together a seige mentality and built his Trojan horse to storm up to the Premier League
