Yeovil is obviously the reverse of the opening game of the season.
I think it's a surprising stat that almost certainly only one outfield player will start on Saturday who started the season opener.
So out of that team that started only wood and Murphy started on tuesday night!!!
Looking back, it seems odd that the likes of Baker and Sheff weren't in the side. People forget how bad they had been at the end of last season
Also, what ever happened to Brown? Is he still at CCFC?
I think it's amazing that people were gutted back then by a draw away at Yeovil. It was deemed as one of the results that should lead to the sacking of our manager.
Draw at home tomorrow?
Personally I would not be too gutted by that.
Win would be great though.
Coventry City
01 Murphy
02 Clarke
03 Hussey Booked
16 Barton
24 Wood
35 Brown
10 Fleck (McSheffrey - 34' )
15 Kilbane
09 McDonald
17 Ball (Elliott - 64' )
27 Daniels (Jennings - 85' )
What ever happened to Daniels!?
Jennings Elliot, Baker, Sheff and the Edj were on the bench.
DMC had not signed yet, Clarke is his replacement
Clarke and Christie keep battling for that right back spot.
So Adams Bailey Moussa that's what has really changed.

Draw wasn't a good result at the start in the same way it wouldn't be tomorrow.
Whichever way you look at it, there's 6-7 changes from the first few games. Those 3/4 players you've said have made a huge difference to the dynamic of the team.
He played the next match against Sheffield.
So could have been injured carried a knock, or needed to force his way in.
Possibly. Perhaps Edge had a knock and that's why brown played. Perhaps mcsheffrey was not well hence kilbane playing. Perhaps Daniels should still be in the team.
Who knows.
Interesting to note once again the 9 AT signings and where they now feature in the side.
Malaga
Brown
Kilbane
Ball
Jennings
Edge
Fleck
Barton
Elliot
Don't wish to get into yet another AT slagging contest, but hardly any of those 'very good' signings now getting game time is there.
Could be said that out of those 9 only 2 have truly been a success (Jennings and Edge). The rest have been bit part players for the most part.
For me Barton is looking a poor signing. Fleck, jury still out. Malaga, poor signing, Brown, Kilbane, Ball, poor signings. Edge and Jennings, good signings, Elliot, jury still out. He's only played 15 games.
AT did say all 9 were very good signings, so I do think he made a number of mistakes in signing many of the 9. Kilbane was a gamble I certainly think was worth the risk, but Brown looked an absolutely awful player. Almost of Sunday football standard.
What's happened to Fleck? Is he injured? He wasn't even on the bench on Tuesday.
Barton hasn't been poor, he's scored 3 v good goals and had a good assist.
Well whoopeee do. 3 whole goals and a super duper assist. 19 games, 3 goals. Why hasn't he played for England yet I wonder?:claping hands:
Poor argument that. Yep, 3 good goals, but not a lot else from him and much of the time he doesn't even got on the bench. Poor signing. Really hard to argue otherwise.
Not saying he's not a good player, just that he's a bad signing.
Who's saying Fleck is poor?
Jury still out for me.
Sheff creates a lot more than Barton.That's why he is in the team ahead of him. Not that Barton can play left wing anyway. Barton also lacks pace and in the centre of the field with his non-existent tackling ability he can be a liability at times.
Just can't see he is suited to this level/style of football.
The Fleck part was for the Grendels and Stupots of the forum.
I do think Barton should be on the bench, with Fleck starting, and Moussa LM, but my point is, for all those who 'rim' McSheff, he hasn't done much more than Barton and less than Fleck.
What annoys me most with Sheff is that he is probably our most wasteful player, he tries to score a 35 yard screamer on his right foot, not gong to happen, and it ends up in row ZZ, his crossing is very hit and miss, hits a peach, then blazes a cross out for a throw-in on the other side, not to mention he's a weak defender. He's frustratingly hit and miss.
The score changed as well
The score changed as well
Did against Sheffield united as well. Point is?
