Match Thread Coventry City vs. Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Mar (7 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Almost too nervous to make a prediction. 8 cup finals left (then another 3) if we’re going to do it. Still don’t believe we will but by god I need the hope right now.

Have SBT Bookie bet on 1-0 so that’s what I’m going. Baka to score.

Both teams to score in second half, odd number of goals and over 11 corners.

Big game today, real chance but put even more pressure on Donny, theyre away at Luton, could we be in the play offs come 5.30... im going 1-0 city with bright dancing past 4 and a rabona over the keepers head off the bar and in, whilst doing his laces up as a celebration..

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Just seen that Oxford have only won away once all season which would normally make me nervous but fuck it! 2-0 City, 3 wins in a row, play-offs by tea time

Bright and Hiwula

 

[covcity4life]

Did a predictor for rest of season wjere cov won 4 home games and l 2 d 2 away

We missed out on playoffs by 2 pts

That was drawing tp donny away last game so i guess most would take beong alive going into finàl game but it shows how tough it will be.

1 game at a time and we must try to win all 4 home games.

P.s hope its warm today. Havnt enjoyed sunny ricoh in ages

In the past, that would point to a nailed on away win! All the dreaded combinations available too... ex city player to score (Ruffels - probably hasn't scored all season too!) and a bigger crowd too....!!!
Have times changed though!!!???
Hope so!!!!
Can't (don't want to) call it!!!

 

[Garryb80]

Think likely that Thomas may be out......therefore think it will be the following.

Burge
Mason
Sterling
Hyam
Willis
Shipley
Kelly
Bayliss
Bright
Hiwula
Baka

Subs: Addai, Grimmer, Brown, Meyler, Wakefield, Ponticelli, Bremang

Meyler is away with ireland so wont play

 

[Nick]

Jordan Graham who plays for them is from Coventry as well

 

[clint van damme]

Just watching Walsall v Barnsley.
Didn't realise Barnsley are unbeaten in 18!!

Read somewhere yesterday that Meyler was only on standby for Ireland and hasn't travelled.

Basically we need to win the 4 home games then win at least one of the away days probably 2. Depends who keeps their nerve

The don’t look very good either. Such a poor league all round.

He made the first squad but missed out when they cut it down to 22 So he's available today

Judging by this game I definitely think we'll score.
Just whether we can keep a clean sheet or not.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I was going to this game, even bought tickets until I realised I had other priorities! Today is a great chance to leapfrog Donny. Feeling quietly confident today, Cov are in all my bets today so itll be a draw!

There are going to be more twists before the end of the season. We could drop points today and pick them up against Barnsley, it's been that kind of season.

Prediction: 2-0

Why do so many footballing Jordans come from Coventry ? Weird that .... :couchpotato:

 

[larry_david]

Barnsley 92nd min winner. They'll be buzzing next week now. Haven't conceeded in 7.

Walsall should have won comfortably though

Yeah, I often lay awake pondering it

 

[Nick]

Team unchanged

[Great_Expectations]

Still really looking forward to today.

The team will be full of confidence and surely motivated to make play offs.

Today is the day all the good football combines with clinical finishing; 3-0, Hiwula, Bakayoko and Bayliss.

He’s shit.

Joking, not joking.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I also hope today isn’t all about SISU OUT and the crowd actually get behind the team.

 

[chiefdave]

What’s actually wrong with Chaplin?

Something foot / ankle related I presume as he was on social media a couple of weeks back with one of those air boots on.

 

[ccfcway]

Loads of people wearing wasps scarves today??

Armed police as well.

Clearly not yet ready for Div 1 as a player. Pompey knew what they were doing

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Decent following from Oxford.

 

[bawtryneal]

Stating to fill up nicely and Oxford have brought 1600 ish
Could be 13k.
