Mo Konjic and Gary McAllister at the Ricoh?

Coventry City v Rotherham United, 02 November 2002 that was a 2002 game. No idea why it says Ricoh

McCallister in nets too!

Marosi
Dabo
Mason
Fadz
Rose
Hyam
Allen
Walsh
O'Hare
Biamou
Godden

Subs: Wilson, McCallum, Drysdale, Kelly, Westbrooke, Shipley, Baka

This with JJ for Westbrooke

Can we pay on the gate?

A random thought related to football which didn’t deserve its own thread:

Since we’ve been relegated from the Premier League we’ve played home games at 4 different stadiums: Highfield Road, Ricoh Arena, Sixfields and now St.Andrews

Has there been a club who we’ve/will played a league fixture against at all 4? I thought Pompey were certs but I don’t think we played them at Sixfields

Gillingham? Not sure if they played us at the Ricoh mind

Weather looks crap

Yes they did it was at the first game back at the Ricoh.

Just has a look and Gillingham is right

 

[Nick]

We also hammered them there, I think Murphy got a hat trick?

Bloody hell can't believe I had forgotten about that, two of the better Ricoh games haha

Think we'll win 3-0 tonight! Wonder if Jodi will start??

Seems to be doing well in the u23s but my gut feel tells me he's still some time off from starting for the first team. Given the amount of time he's been out of the game he'll need to be eased in slowly.

As long as some players are rested for bigger matters on Saturday. Feel confident still.

On the other hand, half expecting JCH to play a blinder, rendering all this talk of the next round pointless.

 

[steveo1987]

We're gonna ruin the blues pitch tonight

 

[robbiethemole]

flippers and snorkel at the ready!! seriously is there a chance it gets called off?

 

[Tommo1993]

Reckon we’d have heard of at least an inspection by now

According to the Daily Telegraph. Ponticelli is likely to start. Yes, really .....where do they get this from?

I'd be surprised if that happens
A few other fringe players will be involved though

I didn't say I believed it. He hasn't even had a run in the u23s as far as I know. If I was a journalist making something up I would have gone for something more credible

Can't see that happening in a million years.
Ponticelli has only played a couple of U23 games for us and virtually nothing while out on loan.

The other consideration is that if he plays for us tonight he won't be able to play for another league team this season

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

I’m sure the instructions from the boardroom are to win this and get through for financial reasons. So I would be amazed to see Ponticelli start. Doubt he will even make the bench.

 

[shepardo01]

They haven't won under their new manager yet... 7 games...
Guess who is not here tonight....
Yes, their new manager!!
Hope they don't feel pressure is off under their coach who is in charge tonight!!

Do you mean in the FA Cup?

 

[better days]

Do you mean in the FA Cup?

As far as I know the FA cup is included in the rule that players can only play for two teams in a season

 

[ccfcway]

5 changes

Allen, pask, Biamou, o’hare and mason in

Dabo, shippers, Westbrooke, Macallum and godden out

 

[ccfc92]

No Godden....

 

[Nick]

Kastaneer is properly bombed

 

[matesx]

Kastaneer is properly bombed

What a waste of a wage

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Surprised Godden isn't on the bench.

 

[PVA]

More changes than I thought he'd go for, I thought he'd only make one or two but I'm glad as I was hoping for 4 or 5 changes.

A lot of players have played almost every game, so it's nice to see the likes of Dabo and Shipley get a rest.

Good to see O'Hare, Allen and Pask get a start, hopefully JJ at some point too.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Expect to see him join some random Dutch second division side on a free this month.

Disappointed that Godden is nowhere near as it leaves us woefully short up front. But still, strong team that even with changes and an opportunity for Biamou to shine.

Agreed didn't expect 5 changes.

Good to see Pask make debut. And JJ!

Kastaneer must be on a decent sum with all the hype they did around him as being too good for this division
