[Greasy Chap Butty]

We were missing 5 players last game including 3 of the back 4

Only 1 at the back? A good chance of a goal. Or shot on target for us then.

Would shamelessly park the bus for this one and hope we get a lucky break.

Insane how much one transfer window can swing things.

I know but I can't see Peck in that side any more

Betting the over and I don't care what the line is

 

[FredZeppelin]

If CW somehow manages to pick our best XI and they all give 100% more effort than they did on Saturday we might get away with a 3-0 loss.

If we defend like we did on Saturday and the same attitude is maintained then it could be 6 or 7.

The owners MUST act soon.

On Tuesday the 8th Nov 2022 we played Rotherham United at Bramall Lane we had 66% possession but we still lost 1-0.....this was the game after we had just beaten Burnley 5-2 at Bramall Lane on Bonfire Nite..we were winning games and in the top half and had the likes of Illiman Ndiaye playing for us...we went to the game expecting to give Rotherham a reyt thrashing..did'nt happen......this is what the Championship is like.

I’ve got a really good feeling about this one

Think you're on the wrong thread mate

Anything can happen. Our game against Norwich is fresh in our minds. IIRC we had 46 touches in their penalty area. They had 2 yellow cards in the 1st half for time wasting including their GK who continued to do so. Nearly the whole game was in their half. We didn't equalise until the 96th minute.

Taking nothing for granted but at least not expecting to lose.

I’m not sure we’ve had 46 touches all season

Be a good sport and declare at half time if you are battering us will ya…

I like your positivity. Have you recently become a Coventry fan ?

 

[Harry's Game]

I think we will go in ultra defensive a bit like we did at Leeds last season … can see it being a similar result.

2-0 to Coventry

 

[Bell4]

No

I just think that we will do well tonight and the improvement’s we have made in small increments will pay off in performance and result

 

[toledo]

If we play defensively like we have the past 2 games, we will lose by several. Hajji White will kill us in the middle of the defense.

We cannot take a conservative approach and expect to win this game.

We also don't have the forward prowess to score goals. The only way we can get something out of this game is for every starting player and sub to put everything out there, chase until they drop, and TAKE OUR CHANCES, as infrequent as this will be.

BUT we cannot play forward, back, side, back, GK, side........ we have to be aggressive with a positive game plan.

Any parking recommendations would be most welcome. Can’t remember where I ended up last year.

Expect the unexpected my friend

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Think we will get dominated in midfield and overrun at the back.

0-2 defeat (hope I’m wrong)

Watch out for resident only parking. I missed the sign last time and was fined - to add insult to injury it was raining when I got back to the car and put the windscreen wipers on - I thought some leaves were wiped off but a couple of weeks later I was fined extra for ignoring the parking ticket

Had the leaves fallen from an “ old chestnut “ tree?

 

[Keen Blade]

I’ve got a really good feeling about this one

You've had a flutter on Coventry ?

 

[Brian Deane]

Half time or full time score?

Forrad passes........

 

[Grey Blade]

No excuses. Just paid up!

 

[Keen Blade]

Nope - Wilder confirmed in his presser that he’s out until after Int Break

He'll be out till NYD when he's the loss-leader priced to sell in our January sales bonanza.

CoH have obtained the list of "crazy club-buyers" from our 'Spy in the Sty' and are busy phoning them all with a better prospect than the pigs , which is dem Blades , by the finest of fine margins.

Ie: We're not broke now but we soon will be

 

[Brian Deane]

I’m not sure we’ve had 46 touches all season

Is that more or less than Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has had this year

 

[Keen Blade]

The only action required of the owners is to sell to someone who's actually interested in football

Avoid parking under trees

That quip is so intelligently funny that you have just shot to the top of my list of humour on this Forum.

If we can't laugh , we'd be crying.

He’s got the first touch of a……

 

[Fernandopartridge]

Can we not do a SISU and lob tennis balls on ?? In the interest of balance ?

Please do, you scored immediately after it happened last time!

Think we will get dominated in midfield and overrun at the back.

0-2 defeat (hope I’m wrong)

I doubt you'll get dominated in midfield. We're really missing Rudoni at the moment and just haven't had control in recent games, even the ones we won.

Next to the bus on the pitch might be helpful
