Big critic of Lati, because, well, he’s mostly shit.

But also, when he has been good it’s been at centre back.

I have to believe he can step in and do a decent job. He’s a committed fella and seems a good professional and I want him to do well. I’m willing him to have a man of the match performance! Step up Lats!

EMC although a loss, I think we can cope without for now.

Do you actually take time to read posts first or just blurt out the first slice of fresh gibberish that comes to mind?

I didn't say it wasn't an issue. I said it wasn't a massive blow, which it isn't - certainly not compared to Thomas being out which very much is given who's next in the pecking order.

'Not an issue' and 'Not a massive blow' aren't that far apart are they.

You literally said if Wright doesn't get injured its not an issue. That relies on Wright and Simms staying 100% fit and in form for 8 full games.

If he's out we are significantly weaker

Our best run of form this season came with Wright/EMC/Sheaf all out. If true it is a blow but if Frank adapts correctly we'll be fine.

My biggest worry is using a 4 with Lati/Binks & DaSilva away from home. It screams 2 goals conceded.

5-3-2 will serve us better. Stay solid and wait for the useless teams to make mistakes which they inevitably will (Swansea away a great example of this)

I remember many on this forum lauding the signing as if he is the second coming of Maldini.

He was crap last season and has been crap this season.

Reminds me of Paul Williams in that one thing he did (Williams’ goal vs Tottenham, and Binks pull back leading to the Semi Final penalty) somehow masks the complete incompetence he has as a defender.

Not really, they're two entirely different distinctions.

By me saying it's not a massive blow that's me saying that while there's a negative impact, it's not a catastrophic one. Saying it's not an issue means there's no issue whatsoever.

Thomas being out is a massive blow as there's no replacement apart from Lati and Binks who shouldn't be anywhere a starting XI unless absolutely necessary.

And well done you've just repeated exactly what I just said. If Wright remains injury free I don't think it's much of an issue. That's not to say I don't think it's non-ideal as we'll need rotation in the final stretch. But it's not a catastrophe.

Ideal if Eccles and BTA can now return to action this friday/monday to soften blow a little.

Then hopefully Thomas is only couple of games, back for luton maybe.

Anyone know if there's a way of finding pubs who are showing the match (not in Coventry area)? Is there a site online or something?

In all seriousness, why do we keep leaking this info on here, and giving the opposition a heads up. I can't believe that opponents don't look for this stuff - you can then adjust your team accordingly. Why would we want to give them a heads up, just for the sake of saying 'hey lads, guess what' on a forum. Genuinely don't get it. Why (especially in our position) would you do it?

might be a ploy

A potential 13 hours of football left though, who knows what happens someone might step up if we get another injury but I certainly think we'll miss EMC and Torp. Thomas would be a disaster

Not piling in on this ITK war or whatever, but the concept of Thomas being injured just seems unthinkable to me.

The bloke could get hit by a truck outside the stadium before the game, and I could still imagine him walking out onto the pitch ready to play 90 minutes.

Not the source, but a source. If we're keen to find out stuff, it would be naive to think the opposition wouldn't.

way to miss the point, if the club do not want team news leaking why should it be posted on here?

What an entertaining read this was

It would take a very brave manager to choose his team because of what an anonymous person has said on a website full of idiots arguing with each other. Especially if he looks back a bit further and sees people taking the p1ss for him getting things wrong

Wright out left and Simms through the middle is a change a lot of fans wanted anyway.

Thomas is a big loss, but he’s also not entirely foolproof. He’s prone to errors and poor distribution, so let’s not escalate this to feel like we’ve lost prime Maldini. Lati is a step down, but he’s a solid enough defender and he’s entirely committed so he’ll give a good account of himself.

The starting XI is more than strong enough to win and the bench isn’t as weak as made out, Allen, Paterson, Bassette and Rafa can all change games. Granted to differing degrees, but this is still a step above our play off season bench offensively.

Rafa? Based on what?

If true, they'll know.
A few years back my mate was on Rooney's coaching staff at Derby
For the FA Cup game, all the noise coming out of our side said we'd rest players.
He was saying no, you're going strong.
We went strong!
