Match Thread Coventry City vs Scunthorpe United Match Thread - Saturday 4th Aug (6 Viewers)

[Esoterica]

0-1 Scunthorpe. Think we're massively under-prepared for this season and expecting a very slow start especially when you factor in having a much shorter pre-season than most thanks to the play-offs. We'll struggle in front of goal and they'll knick one from a set piece at some point in the second half.

Burge - Grimmer, Willis, Hyam, Brown - Ogogo, Doyle - Bayliss, Andreu, Allasani - Biamou would be my team if everyone is fit.

Only 0-1? Unlike you to be so positive!

Thats the team I think will play, maybe grimmer for Sterling, but that would be the only change.

 

[Otis]

We've got no replacement striker, everything is very dark and upsetting and we've got zero chance. Zilch, nowt, none.

0-7.

We are going down.

Probably best to just relegate us now and excuse us from the season.

Woe is me.

 

[ccfcway]

still missing a GK and a striker for me,

Every confidence we will get the striker, but not even sure we are in the market for a GK, which could cost us.

That's said, I trust MR.

1-0, Andreu free kick

 

[Greggs]

Is there new catering this season? Any swanky stuff on the menu?!

Hmm really tricky to know with suspensions and people coming back fro m injury plus new signings how we will line up.

I think I am going to go with a 4-2-3-1 formation and guessing the team will be as follows.

Burge GK
Grimmer RB
Hyam CB
Willis CB
Brown LB
Ogogo DCM
Doyle DCM
Andreau ACM
Bayliss ACM
JCH ACM
Biamou ST

Subs: O'Brien, Sterling, Mason, MacDonald, Shipley, Alessani, Kelly.

One thing I think we can be sure of is that Sterling will play... He hasn’t dropped 26 leagues to be on the bench!

I think the apostrophe will pass the grammar test?

With flying colours.

Indeed, but you might revisit the capital "h" after the first ellipsis....

My old Maths teacher used to use that old chestnut, didn't buy it then and don't buy it now

I bought three tickets today. Looking forward to it, although opening games aren't always the best spectacle.

They have just signed James Perch.

Was boring as fuck and 3-0 massively flattered us I thought.

Cheese and Hyam toasties, I've heard. Are you opening a branch on the concourse this year mate?

[Covkid1968#]

Bought a match package.....now even I'm excited. tried to get a junior sky blue for my 2 kids.....seems virtually impossible so will sort it out Saturday.

On my boat in the morning - beer from 1.30 - football in the afternoon......Boom.

1-0 crap game with a late nicked goal

Sterling in where Bayliss is, Bayliss instead of Ogogo who might not be full speed yet.

I think Ogogo played 45mins in the U23 match on Monday, so even if he couldn't play a full 90mins, he should mange 60mins or so.
