11 changes needed to the side that lost in such cowardly fashion to Morecambe.
All the current players out, The SkyBluesTalk XI in.

It will be interesting to see what changes he does make.
Can see them coming for a scrap, so hopefully people who will mix it up.
Although Vincenti looks like a Giraffe, sometimes he looks to have a bit of a nasty streak and does get the boot in.
I'd be tempted to have him play centrally between the midfield and attack.

I can't remember us beating a side managed by Gary Johnson, but I could be wrong

Same tactics. Prediction? Who knows. Can't predict anything past a win, draw or defeat.Discuss the Coventry City - Cheltenham Town match, tactics and predictions
The question should really be, which Coventry City will turn up? Obviously they got a right rollicking after last week, but at the same time you would expect a few players to be dropped. I have no idea what he will go with on Saturday.
Expecting at least two changes.

Cheltenham have only won away once this season (at Chesterfield) and kept just 2 clean sheets in 10 away matches, conceding an average 1.7 goals per away game. On 4 occasions they have conceded 3 goals away from home. They are very creative at home and it is this that is keeping them mid table - away they have only scored 10 in 10 but have scored in their last 6 away matches.
They seem to be strong before half time but susceptible immediately after:

This has to be a win, if not serious questions will start to be asked.

It depends how Robins sets us up I think, he should be getting them walking out of that tunnel like they are going to war. If they stroll out half arsed and there's no difference to last week it's going to be a worrying start.
None of this second half bullshit, I want to see a crunching tackle in the first minute to set the tone of the game and going all out for a win.

It would also be nice to see them in a coherent formation. I'd even consider bringing back the dreaded diamond midfield
Burge
Grimmer - Willis - McDonald - Stokes
Doyle
Shipley - Stevenson
Vincenti
Biamou - McNulty
Nazon to come of the bench f he can be arsed, he plays better off the bench with tired defenders anyway.

I can't see us getting anything better than a 0-0.
Saturdays performance has really knocked my confidence in this squad.

Heart tells me we will win this. What we don’t know is how confident the players are. 2 nil.
Reassuring performance.
My gut instinct tells me:
0-0 half time. Boos ring around the Ricoh....1-1 Draw at full time. More boos at full time. As Cheltenham celebrate a Draw.
We will drop out the top 10 first time this season. MR under even more huge pressure now.

I think the Kelly Injury has impact us more than the jones injury...
He really has been immense for us this season and when he's not there its a bigger whole to fill than Jones imo, even though Jones was having a really good season!
Robins said land of the giants when he spoke at the trust meeting a few weeks back, so id imagen that both Max and Vincenti both start need shipley and stevenson to have good games along with McNulty as they will all start with the same other 6 players! we just need to be better than last weekend! and hopefully Nazon on the bench, will be Nazon from Lincoln a few weeks bk! The match winner!
We need a win and i think if we get it, we will start to turn to corner.....

Hmm difficult really but I think changes have to be made......think I would go something like this. Lumps at the back for this one as Cheltenham go long!
Burge GK
Willis RB
Davies CB
MacDonald CB
Stokes LB
Doyle DCM
Stevenson DCM
Vincenti ATT
McNulty ATT
Ponticelli ATT
Biamou ST
Subs: O'Brien, Haynes, Grimmer, Shipley, DKE, Duck, Beavon
Doubt he will make this many changes but expecting a response and for us to scrape a 1-0 win!

Doyle's last few performances since Lincoln have been dreadful, would it be completely unthinkable to give him a rest?

The only thing with Kelly out it would mean maybe 2 of Vincenti / Stevenson / Shipley

It worries me how much your football comments are about 'crunching tackles', 'big physical presence', and 'getting stuck in'. I'd be happy to see us play well and win to be honest, but whatever floats your boat...

Because it's playing in League 2 against a lot of teams who will try to bully us, Morecambe bullied us. We need to set out early to show we aren't going to be bullied on and off the ball but still try and play a bit of football.

I'd be quite happy to play like a random XI from St.Micheal's hospital as long as we won, to be quite honest with you.

Yes, unthinkable. If Kelly were fit then sure, but our two first choice midfielders are Doyle and Kelly. No way Robins would not play the one if the other is injured. Not unless it was a pointless cup match.

I want to see Vincenti in central midfield to try and help Doyle , having Shipley and Stevenson in there isn't working and Vincenti out wide definitely isn't working....Try it Mark you may well be surprised
