View attachment 10406 Feeling confident right now - another good Cov turnout and the sun is shining FFS!

That's dead spooky, cos I'm sat on my laptop in Keresley, but can also see myself in that photo sitting ready for the Gillingham match.

[Gibbo]

So he is starting with 8 of the players that finished last season out by the look of it

I think that is a good thing. Add in Mason who is clearly an upgrade at left back

 

[Nick]

5 changes. No wonder we haven’t a side who have gelled! I get that any of them from midweek could have lost their place today but it still seems a lot!

However if this eleven go on to win the game, it’ll be a master stroke, Atleast until our next fixture when we see more changes

It isn't going to help with 4 or 5 changes every game

Just have to hope this one works and he won't need to.

 

[Ricketts]

Their goalie is 6’9”

Their goalie is 6’9”

Striker is massive as well, hopefully Hyam / Willis can do a job.

I would like to have seen Hiwula up front. Hopefully JCH will bag a couple and prove me wrong.

Same, I really want to see him play up front.

As it's a long way down, let's hope he talks ages bending down to pick the ball up off the deck and we can nip in to score.

 

[Nick]

Looks like 4-4-2.

So who’s with JCH? Andreu?

Looks like it, just behind though

 

[ccfcway]

decent play by us there. confident start

try sitting on a cushion

 

[Esoterica]

JCH looking up for it so far. Some good movement and touches.

 

[Nick]

Their 9 looks like he is going to give us hassle.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

4-4-1-1

Still wondering where the goals may come from but might be all year

 

[ccfcway]

great chance for Andreu, so close

 

[Nick]

Some good play puts Andreu in, he puts it past the keeper but no power on it at all so cleared.

Promising so far.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Sounds like a bright start

 

[Nick]

Thomas did well defensively then when he lost it.

Promising so far!

 

[CCFCSteve]

We have about 4 on the bench.

Haha, unfortunately I’m not sure (pretty convinced) any adequately replace McNulty....or even Biamou (for what he brings to the team) this season...who knows in future though. Comment was also assuming JP goes on loan

Would be interested to see what Hiwula could do alongside someone (JCH) up top

 

[ccfcway]

JCH shout for a pen. no go

 

[Nick]

JCH shout for a pen. no go

Would have been very soft if he gave that.

 

[Esoterica]

Doyle's looking better than he has all season too so far - if Gillingham are going to spend the game hoofing it at their 9 then it's going to play right into his hands.

 

[Nick]

They are trying to wind Doyle up so far with late tackles.

 

[ccfcway]

they are clearly targeting doyle

 

[Nick]

Agree, no hoofing. Looking up to play simple passes.

 

[GaryJones]

Yeah it’s also an offence to enter “onto” the pitch!

 

[Nick]

Agree, no hoofing. Looking up to play simple passes.

Jinxed it I think as he has started doing it now.

 

[ccfcway]

bloody hell, burge doing a O'Brien there. not great at all

 

[Nick]

Burge nearly does an O'brien impression.

 

[Nick]

Their 9 is getting into the game now, he has a good touch.

 

[Nick]

Good play from Thomas, runs and takes a player on and shoots but blocked. Bayliss shoots on the rebound but keeper saves.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Who is it?

 

[Gibbo]

Looks like 4-4-2.

I hope so. Lone strike is bollox
