[AFCCOVENTRY]

Another tough game but we weren’t awful against them at Vicarage are last time out. A great Hamer header for us

Kyle will be back and we saw Rose and Dacosta back. No idea how close Walker is and we really need him back.

We looked much more comfortable with wingbacks and Dacosta is a starter. Does O’Hare need a rest? Allen should get a chance.

Can see us getting a surprise win here for some reason
2-1

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Luck’s got to turn some time. Hopefully we won’t get another guy injured for weeks or knocked out by the keeper.

 

[clint van damme]

Pick a team that stops us being so vulnerable in the wide positions.
Make that the priority.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Kyle is back for the game, and he needs to come back in for a 5-3-2 and Dacosta is a must. Sheaf will be out with a hamstring injury.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Being optimistic 1-1

I will be thinking that every game against the top half teams.

We fear no one. Our worst fucking enemy is ourselves.

Just be typical city that we get a win against Watford.

Yep, I expect us to get more points than people might think against the top sides

Can beat anyone in the league on our day (but have also shown we can also be beat by anyone...)

Does Wilson return after Marosi conceded 2 last night in robins eyes ?

Without Sheaf I worry about our midfield. Unsure when Fadz is back but he walks back into the team when available

Robins doesn’t worry about the midfield hence why he’s taken off weekly

Looks like the covid rumours are true so no McFaz or Wilson

With the players we have available this is probably the best team we have.

Hard with no wingers!

Not an issue when we played with wing backs. Back to plan A.

Yep, just have to pray our remaining wing backs don’t get injured

We need to pray strikers can score the goals we need

Every game is being decided by our defensive mistakes and finishing.

Due a massive win at some point...hard to believe we can play that well and not get a result...but we are CCFC!

It’s not hard to believe we didn’t have strikers at the level on the pitch to convert them deliveries same will happen again Saturday unless we get walker back really felt we might of got a proven goal scorer in the window

Dig in and don’t lose. If/when we go a goal down Max or Allen on for Sheaf.

Would go with this too and bring Biamou on later if we need a goal

 

[Esoterica]

Really fear for this one. Deeney is going to have a field day with our timid, naive centre backs and Sarr and Hughes will keep our wingbacks pinned back. Midfield battle is going to be crucial. Hamer and James are going to have be bang on top of their game if we are going to get anything from the game. 3-0 Watford.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Does Wilson return after Marosi conceded 2 last night in robins eyes ?

Not while he’s Covid positive

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

They seem to win a pen every game so that's a natural disadvantage to us.

 

[Otis]

I think we will do okay against them on Saturday. Might even sneak a win.

 

[Magwitch]

Got to revert back to a wing backs so midfield ? I think Robins said Sheaf came off with a hamstring issue if that’s the case I’d expect him to be out, I’d bring in bring Allen and one up top supported by COH so that’s Biamou or Goy, probably Max for me, I’d take a draw now if offered,

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

We will need to score at least two to win as they are sure to get a penalty with Deeney refereeing the game.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

3-2 to city deeney will score 2 penalties

 

[Deleted member 11652]

Watford were awful against QPR. Their left back was right footed and really struggled. They won’t play like that again.

I think I read that Deeney and Gray have one goal from open play between them. Odds on a goal each for them then.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Personally I think Wilson controls his area and comes off his line better than Marosi.

 

[johnwillomagic]

Hmm Watford play my favourite 4-4-2 as a rule....however don't think we now have the players to match them.

I think we go 3-4-1-2 - QPR got a lot of joy down the right so hopefully Dacosta can get at them down that side too.
Think I would line up with the following team injuries/illness taken into account


Marosi

Osti Rose Hyam

DaCosta James Hamer McCallum

O'Hare

Gyokeres Biamou

Subs: Bilson, Pask, Sheaf, Shipley, Allen, Eccles, Jobello, Bapaga, Walker (Fingers crossed he's fit enough for the bench.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Looks like the covid rumours are true so no McFaz or Wilson

Callum is back in training on Thursday.
