Match Thread Coventry v Brighton U21 Match Thread - Tuesday 10th Jan (16 Viewers)

[better days]

I tend to agree, the team they pick for todays cup tie against MK Dons might give us a few indicators towards their intentions.
If they rest players today I can't see them throwing anyone in on Tuesday.

Brighton made 11 changes yesterday. They still beat MK 2 0
Chris Hughton said his main priority is promotion so if he treats the FA cup like that I doubt he'll want to include first teamers in the Checkatrade
Hughton may not even be aware of the game. He's rarely used young players in his teams anywhere he's been

Wembley here we come!!

 

[Otis]

Wembley here we come!!

Ooh goody, which two teams are we going to see?

 

[georgehudson]

So who is available ?
Burge, RCC, Willis or has Fishface shipped him out yet, DKE. Turnbull, Stokes - if fit, Haynes is he aok, Harries - if still being schmoozed by the hub cap stealers,Bigi ( an emergency RB, Rose, Stevenson - if not shipped out by Fishface, Gadzhev, Lameiras, Jones, Reid, Thomas G., Tudgay, Finch, Leahy, Maycock, Shipley,
i guess we'll just have to wait until our football expert (Fisher), tells us more

 

[rexo87]

RCC
DKE WILLIS FINCH HAYNES
THOMAS BIGI REILLY LAMEIRAS
BEAVON JONES

if willis not available would go with leahy at CB - believe his loan ends tomorrow.
would give jones and lameiras as they might be quite good against children
left rose out because of previous injury problems
rest tudgay and get beavon valuable game time

 

[Nick]

What about Reid?

 

[rexo87]

What about Reid?

left him out to give jones and lameires chance to impress. would have reid every day in the league

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

This is a great chance to win and get a run going

 

[shmmeee]

Is it the normal manager for them? Don't U21 teams have their own boss? If you can have half a team of first teamers and he first team manager, how exactly is it an U21 team?

Yeah I think West ham had the coach rather than bilic

 

[rexo87]

Looks like we have every centre back missing so I would guess finch might play especially as hes not in u21 squad today. Also wouldn't be surprised if leahy plays as he played his last game for Nuneaton on Saturday. INJURY NEWS: The City boss gives an update on the availability of his squad ahead of Checkatrade action

 

[shmmeee]

This is the U23 team for tonight, absences might give us some clues:

Coventry City U23: Addai (GK), Whitmore, Ford, Thompson, Camwell, Maycock, Shipley, Finn, Dev. Kelly-Evans (C), Sayoud, Ponticelli.

Subs: Skuza (GK), Hickman, Bayliss, Stedman, Smith.

This is the game before:

Coventry City: Charles-Cook (GK) (Addai ’45), Whitmore, Finch, Stokes, Leahy, Lawton (Shipley 58’), Maycock, Jones (Spence 70’), Gadzhev (Ponticelli ’64), Lameiras (Sayoud 70’), Dev. Kelly-Evans (C).

Finch, Lawton, stokes, maycock maybe in the squad then

 

[shmmeee]

Finch, Lawton, stokes, maycock maybe in the squad then

Doubt Maycock would play twice in two days.

I'm guessing from. The last game: Finch, Stokes, Leahy, Lawton, Jones, Gadzhev, Lamerias will be in the squad.

 

[Nick]

Strange the cup tied new signings aren't in three

 

[shmmeee]

Maybe he's happy with their match fitness, did they look off the pace last game?

 

[skybluebeduff]

Walking up with my sons tomorrow for this game, need my stub for Wembley tickets...

 

[Nick]

Maybe he's happy with their match fitness, did they look off the pace last game?

Clarke did a bit toward the end, but Foley wasn't here then.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Maybe he's happy with their match fitness, did they look off the pace last game?

Didn't RS say that the whole squad needed to improve their fitness?

 

[no_loyalty]

Stokes at CB and Haynes at LB?

 

[matesx]

Stokes says not fully fit till end Jan

 

[Otis]

Is it possible I wonder for us to ask to have Harries back for the one game?

If not we have no centre backs.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

DKE Finch Harries Haynes

Will be the back 4 I guess!?

 

[covcity4life]

is clarke cup tied then? what about foley

never mind just read article

defence is gonna be shocking

 

[shmmeee]

Is it possible I wonder for us to ask to have Harries back for the one game?

If not we have no centre backs.

Have him on trial from his trial?

 

[Nick]

It’ll be a different group to the one who played against Bolton, but they know what is expected. One or two of them felt that they haven’t had adequate opportunity, but tomorrow night they will have that. No excuses.

“It is still a competitive match and the reward at the end of the day is a trip to Wembley.” - Coventry City’s Russell Slade

 

[shmmeee]

We are what? 3 games into Slades reign? Who the hell is whining they haven't had a chance.

 

[Otis]

Have him on trial from his trial?

Sort of.

Just think we may have entered into an agreement for Liverpool to have him for a couple of weeks. We would therefore have to ask for him back.

 

[skybluegod]

Possibly Lawton and Finch at CB? Lawton has played there before, so not out of the question. Can see it be a high scoring game

 

[Otis]

Yeah. 4-4.

No idea about the second half though.

Turnbull will be about won't he?

From what Slade has said he will be playing a weakened team, not thrilled about that

 

[skybluegod]

Turnbull is suspended.

Yeah this we will see Lamerias, gadzhev, bigi, RCC all start, all the fringe players, and then the youth teamers as well.

 

[Nick]

Ah forgot about Turnbull being out.

Would have hoped he puts his strongest side out.

 

[shmmeee]

Ah forgot about Turnbull being out.

Would have hoped he puts his strongest side out.

From the sounds of it he'll put out his only side.

From what we've seen I'd go for:

Burge
DKE Rose Finch Haynes
Bigi Reilly
Jones Thomas Lamerias
Beavon

S: RCC, Leahy, Lawton, Gadzhev, Reid, Stevenson, Tudgay (7 subs right?)

He has already said it will be a different team to Bolton, and that players that haven had a chance will have one. Would expect more changes than that.
