Just go out and tonk them !!

2-0 city

As long as we don't get beat but Brau instead of bidwell for this one as they will be threatening down the right side.I would put Wright up top as well.

Sky Blue Goblin · 2025-12-27T09:18:40+0000

Big game this one.

Would start the 3-4-3 against these lot. I know it’s a bit defensive but they really struggle to break down a low block and think we could catch them out on the counter.

Would be happy with a draw considering the points gap, but a win would be huge

RoysterE17 · 2025-12-27T09:21:08+0000

Revenge!! Atmosphere to be rocking on this "night" game under the lights!!

Sick Boy · 2025-12-27T09:23:10+0000

Big game but at the same time all the pressure is on them. Our players will want revenge for last time - 2-0 City.

David O'Day · 2025-12-27T09:55:20+0000

I'd go

Rushworth
MvE Thomas Kitching Brau
Grimes Torp
Saka Rudi EMC
Wright

But I think he'll start Bidders

Most would agree with both points, I reckon.

Marty · 2025-12-27T10:06:59+0000

I think I would start with Eccles, Rudi still hasn't found form since his injury, Eccles presses the ball better too imo.

There is absolutely zero pressure on us for this game, worst case scenario we're 10 points clear going into the new year.

I think we'll reach 60 points before anyone else gets to 50.

covcity4life · 2025-12-27T10:07:50+0000

Take a draw!

Agreed. Take a draw, could see us winning.

I think if we beat them they would have no chance of catching us.

Yeah. I can see us losing too mind you. Think we might go 5 at back

Had a dream we drew nil nil and Wright went in goal and saved a pen and then the ref made them re take it but wright saved that tooseocnd half they dominated and we held on for dear life and fans got annoyed with performance in final few minutes as they hit post and bar etc

Then for someone reason I found myself in touch line to get a better view and the ball ricocheted to me and I had to jump out way to make sure I didn't touch it I was on the pitch. Stewards got really angry and put me in some changing room. While they were gone I left through a second door and went home and realised they never saw my ST or asked my name so I should be ok and was relieved.

The end.

clint van damme · 2025-12-27T10:15:40+0000

Quite relaxed about this game.
Don't think we'll lose, but even if we do, not the end of the world.
To be where we are having endured an going illness in the camp is incredible.

And when you've got players like Milan coming off being sick but still putting in performances like yesterday, that tells me the team have what it takes to last the course.

BackRoomRummermill · 2025-12-27T10:17:31+0000

1 nil Cov EMC

Would take a point and move on

thekidfromstrettoncamp · 2025-12-27T10:47:49+0000

When we played them like Wrexham we were short of key players. Revenge is in the air.We will win this hopefully the bed wetter will relax.
Enjoy the ride.

shmmeee · 2025-12-27T10:50:55+0000

OK this from Google clearly isn’t right. What formation did we play? I can’t remember.

Was it Eccles at DM and KKH on the wing?

I think that was it yes.

I dont think it was the game MVE played RCB and KKH RWB

Yeah I think this is the one Torp dropped out last minute cos we had two keepers on the bench.

LarryGrayson · 2025-12-27T10:58:55+0000

not worried if we loose

jordan210 · 2025-12-27T11:20:33+0000

If we win and Middlesbrough and Hull draw would be an amazing end to the season.

Viktor17 · 2025-12-27T11:32:16+0000

KKH should be starting left back or left wing back.

can’t have bidders going up against Clarke/philogene.

clear Brau is not trustworthy yet, the saints game was simple - just hold position don’t jump out, tackle and block.

even yesterday at end he jumped out of position towards end leaving over load.

Sky_Blue_Daz · 2025-12-27T11:48:00+0000

Rudoni and wright will score

There's some right confident people out there but this takes the biscuit calling it over in December

Clarke and Philogene play on the left.

Regardless point still stands. Whoever plays on the right for them. Bidders legs have gone now, they will have better quality than Swansea , same point re Brau stands.

Perennial Lurker · 2025-12-27T11:58:37+0000

Why do posters suggest 5 atb every game ?
Lampard has his system and sticks to it unless game situations warrants a change .
We are top of the league , scoring goals for fun ( until recently) , so why change it . Put Ipswich on the back foot and play to our strengths
2-0 city

Bad Boy · 2025-12-27T12:02:14+0000

They weren't anything special at theirs and as it's already been said that was never a 3-0 beating

We can beat them and will on Monday night.

Complete nonsense, Bidwell was fine yesterday.

no_loyalty · 2025-12-27T12:11:08+0000

Massive game, a point would be fine but if we can get a win that would be fantastic. I really want us to go the whole season without losing at home.

skyblue_55 · 2025-12-27T12:12:09+0000

If we do win & I’ve got no other thoughts than a big win for the city & M/Boro having their expected fall off , what a year 2025 has been for Coventry City !
For a hell of a lot of Skyblues , this has been the best ever & a dream year …….
