Old Coventry head say Charlton win this last minute
New Coventry head says score early again and it will be a bit of a stroll.All about how the players approach the game,hopefully not thinking they just have to turn up to win.Every game is tough in this Division.

Charlton have been tonked two games in a row, especially first half

They will put in Maximun effort to sort that out but I just don't feel like they can stop us

4-1 win

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.

We registered our loss against Wrexham. That's it.

I'd say we'll definitely lose again at some point, but I've given up trying to predict what will happen now!

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!

I honestly think this could prove to be a lot tighter than we think.

Don't get me wrong, I fully expect us to win, but after shipping in so many goals in the last two games, I think Charlton will probably go for a making it hard to break them down stance.

They are never going to win in a slugfest, so I can only see them trying to defend deep in order to try and frustrate us

So a win, but not a pretty one. 1-0 or 2-0 to us.

Of course, if we do score early, then the floodgates may well open, but I do think they may well try to keep it tight and defend deep.

We have a lot in our favour for this. They're struggling with injuries, with players either still out of just coming back, and they're not great away from home.

Looking at their stats they're one of the highest in the league for shots conceded but have one of the lowest shot conversion rate %s. They also have one of the lowest shots inside the box %s and lowest av. possession so I suspect they do deploy a low block and try to force opposition teams to shoot from distance. They seem to like to press teams so we need to look to move the ball quickly as we can look uncomfortable when teams look to close us down.

It's probably not going to be a pretty game but if we're relentless as we have been I can't really see us losing.

Can we take back Obikwu or Rodrigues before January? Whenever we have more than 3 injuries a youth GK always ends up on the bench. We may need more cover than that over the next 5-6 weeks

I reckon this could be a good game to get some solid mins into Rudoni. 65-70mins if possible.

Charlton will be fired up to avoid a 3rd defeat, and Jones is an unpredictable manager. From all accounts they should of possibly got something at Stoke (despite losing 3-0).

Yeah, but I think we might have too.

Expecting both BTA and Saka to be missing. And wasn't Torp limping a little too? Or did I imagine it?

I do, there's Ipswich away next weekend and I'd prefer him to be sharp enough to play most of it.

Oh bless you, you think that I've missed the point. If he's fit and able there's no real reason why he shouldn't start. He was out for 2 months, not two years.

Wright started in his third game after coming back from injury last season and he was out for twice the length of time Rudoni was.

Lets see whether the manager agrees with me or you. I suspect he will be agreeing with me.
