Surprised not starting BTA against his old club

jet lag etc. after international duty?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Injury or just decided to give him the time off do we reckon?

No one will confirm

 

[covcity4life]

Eccles needs to take this chance. I think it's likely he's only in cos BTA is tired after intl break travel? And fact rudoni not ready to start

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Wright dropped

suspect Eccles gives way to Rudoni in 2nd half

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

No one will confirm

Probably injury if they don't want to disclose

All the best mate! Hoping Tatsu puts in a great cross for Simms to bag a goal today!

Where’s Haji? Injured?

Where’s Haji? Injured?

Suspect fatigue and being saved for next week.

 

[jordan210]

Dint Haji only get back Thursday. So is likely jet lagged

 

[curly_tom]

Surprised no Wright but maybe he's using the jetlag as an opportunity to guve Simms a well-earned chance. BTA must be knackered to leave him on the bench. Not surprised by Rudoni not starting, he rarely seems to put players who've been out, straight back in the team. Let's hope Eccles can bring it today!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Haji’s form recently doesn’t really mean it’s any loss. Simms has deserved a start after some good contributions off the bench. Opportunity for Simms to claim a spot now.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

odd team, but i did suspect Simms would start

 

[antineorevolutionery]

Their fans are surprisingly confident about this one

Rudoni needs to be eased back into the competitive games. Suspect the next 3 games will see him ramp up. Should be a huge impact player coming off the bench against a tiring defensive back line along with BTA.

Thats the plan. Hopefully the cross is from a freekick where Taylor gets booked

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

get into them. Still top of the league

Dropped?

Same as BTA and he had a much longer flight! BTA on the bench so smells of a knock to me unfortunately!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

lol Haji is injured. Quad injury.

 

[Captain Dart]

Wow that’s a surprise
I did wonder when he talked about a 3 game week
Eccles is a strange one

Considering the weather I think Eccles is the right choice.

EASY ! EASY ! EASY !

 

[Speedie's Head]

Bugger!

Massive opportunity for Simms, he simply must put in a battling performance today.
Im a bit concerned that he may become isolated without BTA in the starting line up.
But with Eccles in midfield it allows both wingers to bomb forward and get crosses in for him.

Hopefully he will get on the end of a few and give Lampard a tough decision to make once Wright is available.

Ffs plays one game for the USA and picks up an injury.

Didn’t he get injured this time last season as well?

I think so.

Oh god its not his sisters birthday is it?

 

[Winny the Bish]

Swear to god if Karlan Grant turns into a lethal goalscorer against us again to get his first goal of the season I'll hit the roof.

[covcity4life]

Big game for Simms. I'm excited!

 

[ptr]

Hope Torp is fully fit now. Big game for him today.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

If it's only mild quad injury should be 2-3 weeks out
