Match Thread Barnet - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Oct (12 Viewers)

[Gibbo]

Interesting that the team is more settled than at any time in the recent past. If the Duck was playing there would only be one query DKE or Vincenti.
This can be a bad thing but in this case I think not. If you have a shed load of new players (only Stokes, Jones, Beavan and Willis among the outfield players were in the club last year and only Willis played regularly for the whole season) it is always going to take time to gel, and with so many, a couple of the new ones were bound to be duds, so to have that degree of stability is quite an achievement. Despite Otis's pleas, suspect Beavan and Vincenti are the duds

I'll be there for this one, which, given that we've only won at 6 of the 40 away grounds where I've seen us play, cannot be a good thing

Be a birthday win for you mate

 

[Edgey95]

2-0 City, Both second half goals. Jones x2

 

[pusbccfc]

I am worried about us being Duckless.

 

[oucho]

I am worried about us being Duckless.

What's happened to him?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

International games for Haiti I think

 

[ccfcricoh]

We've scored in our last 7 games...Barnet have conceded in their last 12.

So surely we've got a goal in us...

Barnet do tend to get a goal as well though but can they against the best defence in the league?!

Head says 1-0 win, heart says 3-0...

 

[Nick]

Barnet are missing their best players and Akinde who would be a threat.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Barnet are missing their best players and Akinde who would be a threat.

We definitely going to lose now...

 

[robbiethemole]

Hope being on the box doesn't jinx us...I going for a 0-3 win. Our defence is solid, and whoever the strikers are will want to impress.

didn't we win last time we were on tele???

 

[Nick]

didn't we win last time we were on tele???

Was that the Checkatrade? What was the time before that? I remember Peterborough with Henderson's fall.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I don't think we've been too bad on tv since we dropped out of the championship.

fixed!

 

[Warwickhunt]

Its a Banana Skin! and we should treat it like a one off cup final they have had to introduce a load of inexperienced youngsters who will be chomping to get at us. We should shut up shop for first 30 minutes to get them to runb out of Steam and Ideas and then start to press the game

I'm really looking forward to this, experience tells me this sort of anticipation is usually followed by crushing disappointment!

 

[CovisGod]

I want to say storming 6-0 win, but I'll be told off for being too optimistic,

So I'm going a safe 2-0 win, goal in each half, Doyle first half, Sub Ponticelli second half

 

[Edgey95]

Will there be tickets on the door? Need one for a pal but cant order one by 12

[Edgey95]

Hopefully Shaq Coulthirst isn't fit tomorrow. just been named player of the month

 

[ready_96]

Confidence is high in the camp, we have to be looking to put on a bit of a show for the cameras.

They're coming in off the back of 3 losses, and have lost their last two at home.

I'm saying a 2-1 win, McNulty with a brace

 

[shmmeee]

Is this on iFollow?

 

[Edgey95]

Is this on iFollow?

Its on Sky, will be loads of streams on Reddit

 

[Ricketts]

0-5

Excuse my ignorance, what is Reddit? Is is something I can get with my Kodi stick? Otherwise it is down the pub for me. I dont like giving Rupert Murdoch money.

That's my only worry about tomorrow (aside from a red card against us) - he is too good for this level (hopefully injured)

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

That's my only worry about tomorrow (aside from a red card against us) - he is too good for this level (hopefully injured)

Even though he wasn't good enough for Mansfield at this level?:emoji_thinking:

 

[Marty]

I feel confident of a big win, 4-0. Jones x2, Kelly and Vinny with the goals.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Even though he wasn't good enough for Mansfield at this level?:emoji_thinking:

Only going on some of the goals he's scored this season - at least a couple of them have been top drawer IIRC? I suspect it hasn't worked out at some clubs due to an attitude issue (P'boro, Mansfield etc) - he certainly has ability a cut above this level.

 

[Nick]

No they don't allow it when it's on Sky, it should be easier to find a link though if on Sky. (or a reason to be in the pub early if not going)

Wasn’t asking for a link, though I’ll probably find one, more curious about the deal. Cheers

Odd rule when ifollow is only supposed to be for people overseas who shouldn't be watching Sky.

 

[vow]

A bit jelly of the folks going down to this match, would liked to have sampled that bar!

Going for a 3-1 win after watching us at Walsall, there are defo competition for places now, long may it continue.
Gonna watch it down Christ the King club.

 

[Gazolba]

0-4 it just clicks at last!!

Who is going to score them?
So far McNulty has one, Beavon zero and Biamou zero.
Ponticelli has one in one, but he's not ready to 'step up'.

Ponti didn't score in his first game
