Heart says win, head says draw.

Still think we need a player to start a scrap on the pitch, get the atmosphere going.

None of this holding their hands applauding their fans crap.

Let them know we are there from the off.

You're not wrong. We had that in Vincelot last season, he was the midfield enforcer we'd missed for years. Our midfield and squad as a whole are far too passive and weak.

he got scared after a bit.

Just needs mccann to get up after a bad tackle and the whole squad to fly in and some handbags.

Somebody please needs to stop being a pussy and instead of crying after being kicked get up and call them names in their face. Tell them they are shit, stand on their feet on purpose.

I reckon mcbean would

We have been bullied on and off the ball in recent games. Need someone to put the foot in, grab the game by the scruff of the neck and boss the game. Someone also to put a rocket up the teammates.
Where's Dennis Wise when you need him.

If in doubt.

Would prevent mistakes like turnbull made.

It's league one, not la liga

 

[Otis]

Anyone know what time the turnstiles shut? Or do they just keep them open?

Am in Aylesbury at the mo and might not be back in Coventry until about 8.15 or so.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

No rush, Otis. If you phone they might delay kick off until you arrive. that's if anyone answers the phone
City 0 Oxford 4.

foreigners are terrible at football too!

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'm sorry, call me ignorant but we should be beating teams like Oxford at home. Fucking hell, Oxford and we can hope for a draw?!? I'm changing sports.

They were in the first division the year we won the cup you douche. You do realise that we're not the only team to have fallen on hard times. They went from the first division to non league and are now climbing back.

Whilst i wholeheartedly agree with your point, the use of the word 'douche' robs you of a like.

Is the team news 6.45 on night games?

I can save you the anticipation, tonight we will be playing 11 clowns disguised as footballers in a formation that doesn't suit them.

Thought it was usually 7.

Lucky you

 

[chiefdave]

My optimism is wearing thin but I'll go for a 2-1 win.

Can see it being a small crowd tonight. Cold and dark at night now, rooted to the bottom of the table with constant bad news. Plus Champions League on the TV. Not much to persuade anyone who doesn't have a ST to attend.

 

[chiefdave]

Lucky you

If they're closed you'd probably get let in by a steward if you've missed that much of the match.

One of my favourite panini shinies, behind ours of course.

I believe it's an hour before kick off, so yes.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That's what we need to do in January. Sign a load of big bastards from League 2 and kick our way out of the relegation zone.

 

[vow]

#CCFC XI: Burge (GK), Sterry, Willis (C), Turnbull, Page, Stevenson, McCann, Bigirimana, Lameiras, Agyei, Sordell.

 

[vow]

 

[Nick]

Agyei in then

 

[oucho]

So only one change from the team that did such a great job on Sat - I suppose continuity is important to be fair (shame in our case it's continuity of shitness)

 

[Liquid Gold]

Burge means we need to score 2 at least to win

 

[lifeskyblue]

I would have started either Reid or jones or both. Wright was too wide Saturday and sordell isolated. Hopefully agyei can give sordell some support and play alongside rather than way out wide.

To be fair although he was rooted when a few crosses came in he did produce one excellent save and was not at fault for goals.

I agree 100%. Would probably play 442 myself - same back 4 and keeper but with Reid and Jones as wingers, Bigi and McCann central and Adjei playing with Sordell up front. Stevenson and Ruben to come on and inject some second half energy.

 

[worc0257]

Here's me 31 years ago. If we could win 5-2 with Wayne Turner in the team, we can win tonight.

 

[dutchman]

Coventry has a psychological advantage because Oxford will be thinking the same as you lot, that City will be a pushover.

At the moment that what I would do...especially at home. Bit of excitement and flair. Might just get us fans on the edge of our seats.

To be fair we have been getting on the edge of our seats all season - though just mostly to get through the exits ahead of the mass exodus of people leaving in dismay.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Bigi and Lameries to have stormers.

2-1 win.

We can hope......

 

[skybluejelly]

Loads of oxford paying at the gate probably over 2000 for them tonight .. fair play to them

They don't look a team of bruisers warming up. See how our defence plays today. Trouble is can't see us keeping clean sheet at the moment.
