2 years since Robins came back. What an absolute legend that man is. 3-0 city to mark the occasion

Should be a decent game both teams trying to play on the deck. The pitch should be as good as its been for a while with the wet weather nice and slick.

Saying all that will probably be a no score bore draw.

if we score early we could have a goal fest 2 nil win. Which is a goal fest for us.

A decent crowd and atmosphere 11000, 500 Burton.

 

[Paxman II]

Has to be a win right? The next two home games won will give us that outside chance of the playoff's.
No excuses if you want to try and make a playoff place. It has to happen now.
The hard work has been done in recent games so I don't expect the players or MR's to throw that away!

3-0

 

[ccfcricoh]

Agree with all the above, I imagine Thomas will be back in for Shipley, IF we are to fight for playoffs this is a must win really.

A scrappy 1.0 win will do for me

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Bremang 94th minute winner (I'd be gutted if that happened, and didn't have a tenner on it!)

 

[Cigarfingers]

Friday night fun! 4-0 home win!!

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

Think it's most likely to be another close scrappy low-scoring game, but at home I'm confident of a win. Quite happy to keep the team unchanged, but bringing Thomas back in wouldn't be a bad option.

Conor Thomas? He’s shit.

Only scored one goal worth remembering..... but what a goal! Leicester scum.

Yep - still not sure how I didn't break my ankle jumping on top of the seats when that went in!

Something something banner, something something minute, something something raise our plight.

At an x minute of the game etc

To be reported in the CT just in case people who read about Coventry City in the Coventry telegraph don’t know about what’s happening with the stadium

 

[higgs]

I might have a quid on Brandon Mason to score first!

You would get big odds on that one

Gutted to be missing this one as I’m at that Tyson Fury event at the Realto. Would much rather be going to the game to be honest! Going to go for a 1-0 to keep the pressure on the teams above.

 

[ccfcmad1]

What sort of crowd we expecting?

 

[GaryJones]

We are going to win this!
Momentum is growing - shades of last season.
2-1 Win

I really enjoy a Friday night game which makes me feel a bit guilty as I know what a ball ache they are for a lot of the out of town support.

An ugly one.

They have been pretty good recently, have we won most of them though?

Either you are a genius, and we are just not clever enough to understand - or you are a complete Fruit cake
I am not sure which

I am only talking a quid for a random bet. Always have to have one random one in there.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

Used to love sticking a quid on Richard Wood, Reda Johnson or Elliott Ward to score first back in the day. Always great value on centre halves who are decent from set pieces (or take pens)

Yeah Wood and Ward were always a decent bet. That was when there were actual bookies at the ground!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Managed to get to leave work early. Bring it on!

It was when they didn’t change Ward’s odds after he started taking penalties so you’d always get 25/1 - 33/1 on him then once they clocked dropped to about 10/1!

Was much better when you could do it on a bit of paper before the game rather than pissing about on the phone

Agree, worst used to be if I’d been out on a Friday night and had about £20 in £ coins in my wallet end up going with the intention of putting £2 worth of bets end up doing a lot more and covering near enough every player on the pitch!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

I remember once putting a bet on, 90% of the time I’d usually do a quid each on 1 from our side and 1 from oppo first goal scorer and full time score (scorecast), anyway this one game got to my seat 30 mins before kick off, watched the warm ups and Clinton Morrison was scoring every chance looked in real good nick, so rushed down put a couple of quid on first goal scorer.....game started.....And......he had a shocker and was subbed off!

Learnt that lesson from Roy O'donovan. Never seen a player hit the back of the net so often in the warm up before matches. Couldn't score into an open open in a real match. Still remember him going around the keeper and shooting wide in our championship relegation season.

Was that up at Barnsley?
