Match Thread Coventry v Brighton U21 Match Thread - Tuesday 10th Jan (17 Viewers)

I thought stokes wasnt' fully fit?

"Chris Stokes is also expected to make his long-awaited come-back to the senior team after nearly ten months out with a knee injury - having come through 90 minutes unscathed in the Under-23s last week - on a night when new signings Nathan Clarke and Kevin Foley are cup-tied, Jordan Turnbull suspended and Jordan Willis rated doubtful with an on-going hamstring issue."

In an ideal world you wouldn't risk him but given our selection issues and the fact he came through 90 mins of an u23 game i think he'll play. On the bench at the very least.

I'll take my boots just in case, like one of those schoolboy dreams where the manager looks over and says "we need you" and I go on and score the winner. :emoji_bow:

Looks like JJ10 will start

Worried about defence with Clarke not able to play and Harries not being about.

Harries is back! Not sure if he was recalled for tonight or sent back by Liverpool, but we have Harries!

I'm sure the defence will be fine, we'll have harries and then either Willis or stokes depending on which one is closer to fitness

Anyone know what the car parking arrangements are for tonight's match? We have got ST's in car park C but for the previous rounds of this cup sometimes it has been open and sometimes not, then we end up driving to car park A or B. Simpler if we just knew in advance.

Car Park C will be closed for tomorrow night's @CheckatradeTrpy tie - Car Parks A and B will be open as usual #PUSB

Harries was sent back by Liverpool.

Harries was sent back by Liverpool.

So the telegraph are pushing, RS recalled him to play I heard

 

[Mcbean]

If C is closed - its no longer possible to pre book A/ B - is it just a question of going to the gate - they have these number plate readers ?

Least it's not freezing tonight!

It always feels cold to me in the Ricoh regardless of the weather! That's the problem with getting old. :grumpy:

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Anyone seen a teamsheet yet?

 

[Gazolba]

I think that chopping and changing a team excessively achieves nothing.
Bring in a few changes to try them out but changing a whole team just results in loosing.
<snip>

Based on our recent record, I think we need more than 11 changes.

 

[Otis]

Anyone seen a teamsheet yet?

Russel Slade and the ref?

Kick offs not til 19:45 will be out an hour before.

When my wife agreed to marry me she knew she was getting old and grumpy.

Patience never was my strong point.....

 

[Otis]

You know, this is the most exited I have been before a game all season.

Really adds an edge when something is on the line.

Win this and the talk about Wembley will fill many threads tomorrow.

No draw tonight. 90 mins, then extra time, then penalties if necessary..

Let's hope it's all over well before then and we beat them outright in normal time.

 

[steve82]

With 6 changes permitted to comply with the rules I predict this team.
Clarke, Foley are cup tied and Turnbull suspended.
----------------RCC------------------
--DKE---Willis---Harries----Haynes--
--Jones----Rose ----Reilly ----Reid---
---------Thomas----Beavon-------------

Willis is injured so that's not likely to be how we line up

Unlucky!
Explains a lot though

 

[steve82]

Yeah I heard he was struggling.... I've a feeling he will start tho. It's a easy shop window tonight to show his "class"

Plus we've really no one else, only stokes who could fill in or dare I say bigi.

 

[ccfchoi87]

Ruben lameiras starts

Hopefully they are small being young.
