Match Thread Hull City - Coventry City Monday 5th April Ko 8PM (27 Viewers)

I'm not sure I'd start JDS for this one he looked shattered - KKH or Bidwell to start for me with JDS & Rudi on the bench again. I think Hadji will come in for Ellis Simms and Torp may get a start - exciting that we have such depth nowadays.

JDS did look pretty tired first half, uncharacteristically gave the ball away quite a few times. Might be fine by tomorrow though?

I can’t see why Dasilva would be shattered

Played a lot of football recently.

 

[The Big G]

Hull have been awful at home this season but last time I saw them a few weeks ago the pitch looked awful. Cant imagine it will be any better now with the Super league well underway. Think it might be scrappy asf

the guy he was marking had just flown back from New Zealand

He had played one half of football, JDS had played 88 minutes.

That's a concern as it won't suit the likes of Rudoni and EMC

bit harder flying back from Christchurch than Cardiff

It is, but generally speaking you can sit down on the plane and don’t have to run some of the way.

Having a good season though Dasilva, isn’t he?

Wonder if international duty and Friday has affected any of the players and Lampards selection for tomorrow.
JDS looked shattered and Onyeka seems to have a habit of looking like he's picked up some sort of injury at some point in every game....he looked shattered too on Friday......

I doubt he was shattered as he played 90

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Take a point

 

[Jamesimus]

Take three points

I agree but can't see Lamps doing that. A win tomorrow would be great, given we then have two of what should be the easiest fixtures you could choose to close out, so I can see him sticking with JDS as being the "safer" option. I'd like to see KKH and Markelo have a run out down that flank as a pairing to see how they can work together as KKH didn't seem too effective pairing with Saka in the few minutes he's had.

Hull have scored a lot of goals this season , obviously less than us, but still a fair few. I suspect we will struggle with a clean sheet so we need to have our shooting boots on and score more

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Lampard likes Bidwell. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets some game time against Hull

I've seen a couple of their recent games and they're the least threatening side I've seen in the championship of late

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I think we’ll draw this one 1-1, it’ll be a tough frustrating game. Expect us to have many scuppered chances and them to take one of very few chances

 

[skybluecb]

I think we will win tomorrow, we are in fine form. 3 - 1 to us. Rudi on the bench, EMC and Wright to start. Hull didn't look that good against Oxford the other day.

They were poor against Oxford - didn't look like the side from earlier in the season

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

This season has been so fucking ridiculous and I'm so powerfully manifesting the circumstances that lead to us confirming promotion at the CBS on Saturday, so I'm going hell for leather for the most ridiculous possible outcome: JDS or Woolfenden to score an extra time winner

Not ridiculous. I thought Kitching was poor against Derby, so expecting either Lats or Woolf to come in for him tomorrow, probably Lats for a bit more recovery pace.

Eccles looked shattered and he never went anywhere

 

[CovRes]

Eccles looked shattered and he never went anywhere

I heard somewhere that he's just become a father again, so there may be sleepless nights. Although having said that, I think he had a decent game. If he'd taken one of his chances no one would be questioning him.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

It looked to me like Thomas was struggling with an injury or at the least, cramp at the end of the game. A quick turnaround for him if he has picked up an injury

In what way?

 

[Saddlebrains]

I reckon

Rushworth
Milan
Thomas
Lati
JDS
Grimes
Onyeka
Eccles
Sakamoto
Simms
EMC

Haji and Rudi bench but will start v Wednesday BTA Back on bench

We can literally afford to lose this but they arent far off shitting the bed for a play off place, so I think score draw 1-1

 

[wingy]

In what way?

Well he's only just recovered from a calf issue hasn't he?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I meant how did he show he was injured?
I mean he could have had his ankle broken by the American cheat

Be amazed if Haji doesn't start Monday.

But agree on the rest.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Wright and EMC will return for me , maybe Lati too .
Not much else changes for me

Saw that when he was stretching up against the post ..... He had also been taken out at the ankle remember too!

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

In what way?

A few times he was stretching his calf or his hamstring. At one point he supported himself by leaning on Onyeka and doing leg stretches.
