NEWS: Coventry City to face Peterborough in live streamed double-header this Saturday

Coventry City will face Peterborough United in two live streamed friendly matches this Saturday.

Makes sense, instead of 45 minutes for each side they both get 90 minutes

 

[Oh for an Ian Gibson.]

I’m assuming this will give both clubs the opportunity to give all the squad a full 90 minutes as the start of the season gets nearer.

 

[Nick]

This is now the match thread.

Fiver to watch 2 games, not too bad at all.

A good idea because players can get more minutes of match time rather than 60/40.

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

A great deal that – sky blue super Saturday – get the beers in!!!

 

[bawtryneal]

How exciting !!

 

[AOM]

Extra time multil-ball!

 

[AOM]

I reckon new home kit first game, new away kit second

 

[harvey098]

I cant wait to see the state of this forum if we lose two matches in the same day

 

[cc84cov]

2 games in 1 day = double moaning from me

 

[Johnnythespider]

Think I'll give it a miss and pop down to B&M for some bathroom essentials

To play two teams you’d need about 25 players so you have the odd sub incase of injuries. If Kastaneer still doesn’t get a game you know he’s in bomb squad

What do u reckon for the score lines?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

As it's our last friendly we must be playing a first XI in one game, so the other will be a development squad. I'd have thought the managers will have agreed which one will be the first team game and which the development as would be pointless each one being a first XI v development. Won't learn a great deal from it.

At the moment though difficult to know who might be available.

The telegraph are saying the Peterborough live streams (£5 deal) are on Ifollow but I don't think that's correct.
Has anyone seen any info about the website where the games will be streamed?
CCFC website is only showing the Carabau cup game available on Ifollow.

The box to pay seems shoddy. How do you sign in after to watch game? Not asking for a password just an email

 

[AOM]

"Both games will be streamed live - this is being provided to us and Peterborough by an independent company, not through the EFL iFollow service.

Fans can purchase a pass for the game for £5 in advance and then £7.50 from 10am on matchday."

What do u reckon for the score lines?

I think we will go through on aggregate ( possibly on away goals).

 

[shmmeee]

Having no idea who is actually fit (assuming no Dabo, Dacosta, Rose or Jobello) any more and assuming a first XI and a second XI:

Marosi
McFadz Hyam Ostigard
Pask Kelly Hamer Giles
Jones O’Hare
Godden

Wilson
Thompson Drysdale Williams
Burroughs Eccles Allen Mason
Shipley Hilßner
Baka

Allen is a first 11 player ahead of Jones

 

[aloisijohnnyaloisi]

Yeah I’d say switch JJ for Allen or Shippers and this is about right

Id like to see Jodi in that role in a decent team instead of the U23s, and Allen might be needed at DM if Kelly’s injury flares up, so I’d want to give him more practice in the role, but generally I’d agree yeah.

I think Shipley would be preferred in DM to Allen, as an alternative to Kelly [if he's unavailable].

Oh ok so after you pay i assume they email you the password?

Either either for me. Both are out of position there IMO, that’s why we need a DM next.

I get it now, 42Live appear to be the providers, and the video will start on that screen once a password is entered.
So the telegraph are wrong again, it's not on Ifollow

It's more than O'Hare and Jones will play in a very similar way. If we're looking at two ACM's IMO you're better having more of a mix with one who will take players on and one who will either play passes or look to get beyond the striker.

Unless Jones is going to be asked to do the latter he's more an alternative to O'Hare rather than a partner.

So for me Allen and Shipley are vying for the first ACM, Jones and O'Hare the second. I suppose I should include Hilssner but still not seen enough to know which he'd be competing for. As a more natural winger you'd think it'd be more the Jones/O'Hare group but so far not seen much that suggests he's looking to take on his man first opportunity he gets.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Shipley's not big on the tackling though. Neither are overly suited to the role.

Again, from the CCFC webpage .... " Both games will be streamed live - this is being provided to us and Peterborough by an independent company, not through the EFL iFollow service. " It's the CovTel, when have they been right before ?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Striker next before DCM I reckon. But likely to require one of the current ones to be out the door to accommodate (almost certainly Max)

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Either either for me. Both are out of position there IMO, that’s why we need a DM next.

I agree that we need more cover at DM, but expect Shipley to get the nod ahead of Allen at the moment.

 

[sc1940]

Yes, I just received a receipt and password from 42Live
Went straight into my junk folder, good job I checked

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Maybe Jobello could be turned into a back up RWB and Dacosta could be turned into a LWB when Giles leaves if we dont sign him then Pask can be back up CB and CDM with either that Williams or Eccles or Drysdale option on the bench?
Just an idea I dont expect to be agreed w to be honest
