Discuss the Coventry City vs Cambridge United match, tactics and predictions

Londonccfcfan · Jan 28, 2018

Massive game. Players need to be on it and focussed on the bread and butter.

The atmosphere won’t be great, as only die hard 7k will be there.

Cambridge are no mugs. Were 3 nil up at Notts county few weeks ago before they ended up drawing. They not playing too badly, they have had a long rest since their last game. So will be fresh and up for it.

We played them off the pitch and lost at their place.

3-1 Coventry, Kelly,Bayliss and Shipley.

I’m hoping for lots of negative predictions please.

We need Davies back in I think.

It is a massive game. Like Robins says, every game now is like a cup final.

Could be third with a win.

So, so important to bag another 3 points here and on paper it looks good. We have an excellent defence and Cambridge really struggle to score. Just 27 goals in 28 matches.

We have to fancy our chances.

In case no one's noticed..after every fa cup tie we have lost the following league match.
Maidenhead. We lost to Mansfield
Boreham W . We lost to Morecambe
Stoke...We lost to Exeter.

We need this to change after MK Dons.
Draw wouldn't be enough.

Yeah, but now boosted by McDonald's return and Kelly and Vincenti back in the fold too.

Doyle limped onto the team bus, Tuesday may be too soon but then it's Doyle so he will play.

Ibehre hasn't featured in the last 3 games for Cambridge or January for that matter so I don't expect to see him.

Cambridge top goal scorer with 9 goals uche Ikpeazu is fit however and will be a handful for sure.

Ice bath, physio, the blood of 12 virgins and hopefully he'll be good to go!

Usually struggle to get to weeknight home matches but fortunately going to a conference in Brum on Wednesday so I'll be up the Ricoh. Crucial game

BackRoomRummermill · Jan 28, 2018

Be warriors , 3 nil win and dominate like we should be doing

covmark · Jan 28, 2018

Massive game that we desperately need 3 pts from. I'm going for a nervy 1-0.
Biamou to score for the 3rd game in a row.

Everyone's predicting a win.

Mcbean · Jan 28, 2018

We need everyone to be 12th man - Tuesday - cant wait - fuckin work in the way aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Liquid Gold · Jan 28, 2018

Managed to get the day off so I can do a midweek game! Means we’ll inevitably lose.

It’s Tuesday I think

Tommo72 · Jan 28, 2018

Score draw for me, they are an awkward team and we struggled with their physical approach earlier in the season.

Think he means he'll be in the area the night before?

Bit concerned you might be right. Never liked Shaun Derry, and hoping we don't get outmuscled after the weekend's exertions. First goal will be really important re: atmosphere. Fingers crossed.

Yeah I know. I'll be staying in Cov Tuesday night

The Reverend Skyblue · Jan 28, 2018

We played so well in the game at Cambridge second half we were superb but still managed to lose.
As someone has pointed out each time we've won in the cup we ball s it up the next league game.
We've lost to some dross at home, FGR and others so I'm praying we can scrape through this with a win.
Come on you mighty skyblues

Guess he will travel up Tuesday for the Wednesday meeting, thus getting to the game on Tuesday.

clint van damme · Jan 28, 2018

can we be the team to show that extra bit of consistency and put some daylight between us and the rest? Got to win games like this i it's going to happen.

Covstu · Jan 28, 2018

Draw written all over it. Think we will struggle and a bit of a hangover from Saturday but I am hoping I am wrong

Yep, draw written all over it which is why I am going for a 3-1 win.

Sky Blue Pete · Jan 28, 2018

Burge
Grimmer
Willis
Mcdonald
Can see Haynes playing
Bayliss
Kelly
Stevenson
Shipley
Biamou
McNulty

Expect subs to be used

Barrett
Vincente
A n other

Really hope more than 7882 in the crowd but don’t think it will be

2-1 hopefully

Can we not have shiny brand new ones instead?

Mucca Mad Boys · Jan 29, 2018

With our home form of late, I think we really should be winning this game. However, it’s also the kind of game we usually lose, and we’ve just had a tough cup game whilst Cambridge had a week off. Would take the scrappiest of 1-0 wine. But I think we’ll probably draw this one 1-1. I’m looking forward to this though!

Warwickhunt · Jan 29, 2018

CCFC will kick us in the bollocks as usual. No consistancy

torchomatic · Jan 29, 2018

Unfortunately, I can't get to this. After all the excitement of Saturday too. I'll be glued to my phone though and looking on here.

You wont be the only one, Pretty much like 4 of the 8k wont make it either.

sb84 · Jan 29, 2018

anyone know the state of the pitch for tomorrows game? It looked pretty awful at this point last week.

Esoterica · Jan 29, 2018

Cambridge's away form is dire - just 2 wins away all season and they have the worst attack in the league scoring 27 goals in 28 games:

They are currently on a 10 game streak without a win on the road:

In terms of their goals for and against they have only scored 9 goals in total away, failing to score in 8 out of 14 games. They have conceded plenty at a rate of 1.79 per game but they have also kept 6 clean sheets (2x 0-1 wins and 4x 0-0 draws). They conceded 5 goals on their last away trip vs FGR:

The timings of their goals conceded is also interesting - a huge amount in the last 15 minute of both halves, particularly at the end of games:

They have also not scored an equaliser all season away from home. Against the top 10 sides this year, home and away, they have P11, W1, D4, L6 GF 8 GA 21. No need to remind you who the 1 win was!
They've lost their main centre back and captain Leon Legge to a shoulder injury and are in the loan market for a new defender having played an 18 year old Harry Darling at the back in the last 2 games, who has spent this season on loan at 7th tier Royston.
With our home form everything points to a comfortable win but we've been poor immediately after Cup matches this season, played a tough weekend game while Cambridge were free and who knows what state the Ricoh pitch is in. Throw in the pressure of potentially reclaiming an Autos spot and this game could just as easily be 0-0 as 3-0.

To be fair I am a STH so would normally be there...can't speak for the other 4K.

That's ok then. As long as we have your money.

ccfcricoh · Jan 29, 2018

next 4 games - we lost 3 and drew one in first round of fixtures - so hopefully turn that fortune around!

If we want to cement playoffs and push for autos - not much else than a win Tuesday and Saturday to give us a but more leeway for the tougher Accrington and Luton games coming up will be acceptable.

I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 win (Penalty)
