Match Thread Blackburn (5 Viewers)

Hoping for the return of Dabo otherwise McCallum should start. If Shipley is fit Id like to see a midfield of Kelly Sheaf Shipley O’Hare, but Shipley probably won’t be fit to start

With concussion he won't be fit full stop

Oh didnt know about that

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Game day. Hopefully team has some confidence after a decent game against Swansea. Maybe we should get the orange ball out today

[Blind-Faith]

Think we’re going to do them today, I’ve woke up with that feeling! 2-1 come on!

[withnail]

Ahhhh, i remember it will. Blackburn complaining (after the match) that the pitch was too icy despite a Zimbabwean scoring 3 of the 5. Happy days.

....also complaining that one/some of their players couldn't see the orange ball properly due to colour blindness iirc

What do you think then

This is going to shock a few - I think we and particularly MR have learnt a great deal in the first 6 games - In-fact if we had taken an few of our easy chances in a number of games or the luck was with us we would be a great deal further up the table - Bournemouth is the only game we looked off the pace and gave them far too much respect, also our fitness levels and defensive organisation wasn’t quite right -If you remember back to the first 6 games of last season we were not world beaters and looked very ordinary. and the luck certainly went for us on occasions. Today we start moving up the table and I see a top 6 finish

Don't post whilst dreaming! I will come back after 5pm and apologise covboy if we've given them a thumping! If we finish top 6, I'm going to have a large shandy, a packet of Quavers and party hard!

 

[Tommo1993]

I’m gonna say a loss.

 

[covcity4life]

I remember the Blackburn game on SKY. We won 2-1. Julian Darby scored

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Interesting reading their forum they have the same issues we had with Mogga and also they are saying we are a good side and they need to be careful. Some crazy guy is saying they need to drop Armstrong. Also just saw Waggot’s name on there. Forgot he was at Rovers.

They have lost their last 2 games and the teams they have beat are Wycombe and Derby. We need to be careful of their front 3 as that is their strength. So our 3 Cbs needs to be on their A game.

I don’t think we should fear them but we should give them a good game.

They have lost their last 2 games and the teams they have beat are Wycombe and Derby. We need to be careful of their front 3 as that is their highest strength.

We’ve only kept one clean sheet so far so I don’t see that changing today. Need to continue the more positive way of playing we saw earlier in the week. More respect less fear

Not dreaming, as I study the form and confidence of a team – We finished the last game strongly and full of confidence particularly when Kelly came on hopefully we can carry on today. My current estimations with the rub of the green, missed chances and goal line clearances we should have 6 more points than we currently have which would place us in the top 6 now. Incidentally we had a friendly bet between mates last season (10 of us) I was the only one that said we would get promoted I did predict 2nd place and was laughed at. Not predicting promotion this season but top 6

But we have to be more clinical in attack.

 

[Tommo1993]

I’d be more confident if our attack had some pace about it.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I’m looking forward to seeing Hilsner on the left and also Bapaga. Then Jobello as another Lacey option.

 

[better days]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kasta get on at some point as we are so short of bodies today
Apparently he’s lost a bit of timber and is trying to show a better attitude

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yep, been guilty of some shocking finishing so far

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Jobello - "I'm back". Played again for the U 23s yesterday. Might he mean in the squad for today?

No telling how effective he can be but he may become a decent option off the bench, offers something a bit more direct

Obviously he went from playing in L1 to being injured to potentially playing in the championship

It’s a bit of a bizarre post as you would also have to add the ‘nearly’ points for every other club too

 

[TomRad85]

Happy match day everyone. I'm thinking another point today, unless our squad has be struck down still further with injuries/covid.

They had 20 shots against Watford,I worry about us today but I can also see us beating them

Hopefully this is the case & we see what he can do

 

[harvey098]

I’m annoyingly busy from 2-6 today. Does anyone know if I buy the game on iFollow whether I can watch it after 6? (Will try and not find out the score)

Who else is injured now?

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Who else is injured now?

Robins just provided an update, Dabo had a minor operation and is still out, Shipley is concussed and is out. Also, Jobello tweeted something about being back.

Yeah the full match replay is available. Not sure how soon though

 

[johnwillomagic]

Right still plumping for 2-1 City - think/hope team will be as below.

Marosi GK
McCallum RWB
Giles LWB
Osti CB
McFadz CB
Hyam CB
Sheaf DCM
Kelly DCM
O'Hare ACM
Allen ACM
Godden ST

Subs: Wilson, Rose, Pask, Kastaneer, Jobello, Baka, Biamou

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Jodi Jones is 3-1 to score anytime today the same odds as O’Hare

Can't beat a nice Lacey option
