There must be a half and half scarf stand around here somewhere because there are multiple people walking past with scarfs. I’m sure they are all Coventry fans. How did these day trippers get tickets when do many season ticket holders missed out?

Are we winning yet?

It’s up on the bridge. Heard quite a few proud to know a few players’ names

Maatsen at AM?

 

[Perryccfc]

Maatsen must be playing further forward

 

[Evo1883]

Can't work out if it's Eccles and sheaf CM , then hamer and o hare attacking midfielders in a box formation

Bidwell right side , maatson left

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Slightly odd team

 

[Ccfcisparks]

5221? With Maatsen and O’Hare either side of Vik?

 

[kg82]

I’m so confused! Unless one of Maatsen/Bidwell is going to play RWB and we’re playing 3 DM’s.

 

[Harries11]

Anyone know of a way to stream this?

 

[Nick]

Looks like maatsen attacking midfield?

Bidwell right side , maatson left

that's how I read it, what else could it be?
Eccles RWB, Maatsen midfield? Be a strange one that.

 

[no_loyalty]

Happy with that team, assume Maasten is playing as an attacking midfielder?

He’s played CM before.

 

[SBT]

He’s gone full Southgate - MORE wing backs!

 

[Gint11]

Let’s hope we get the 3 points. Cmon you Sky Blues

 

[Tommo1993]

Half and half scarves. Shoot me now

Id assume so

Don't shoot you , shoot the sellers

Anyone know of a way to stream this?

Reddit soccer streams will probably have it

 

[Evo1883]

I feel like logically , it's easier to push hamer to attacking midfield , play Eccles in his natural position and play one of bidwell or maatson out of position ... rather than play 3 or 4 players out of position

Safe journey to those travelling today, and those queueing outside the pub for the 7am opening !!

Reminds me of England V Camaroon in the 2002 World Cup. It was on in the wee hours of a Sunday morning. You couldn’t buy alcohol on Sundays in Canada at the time. We had a creative landlord at our English pub who not only let a few of us sleep over in the bar but came up with a creative menu that included 4 “beverages of your choice free with your breakfast

 

[clint van damme]

Half and half scarves. Shoot me now

or better still, shoot the people wearing them.
You could end up in footballing hell today, half and half scarves in front of you and ubers talking loudly about how they went to Middlesbrough behind you, thoughts and prayers mate.

 

[clint van damme]

He’s played CM before.

For us?

 

[usskyblue]

Heat map wise we’ll be looking something like this..

Eccles has played RWB last few games so is in that mindset. You want to play Hamer and one of the LWBs out of position. Maatsen AM, nailed on.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Gone pretty strong, but slightly odd choice. Two left sided defenders, no natural right sided one but one on the bench.

 

[It’sabatch87]

Good view today PUSB

 

[shmmeee]

For us?

Nah, though he’s had a habit when we’re chasing games to go there by himself. Not a chance in hell we’ve replaced Hamer with Eccles in the middle rather than bringing Allen in.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Just seen Kevin friends on the VAR. Leicester lad ain't he?

Who is Kevin and why have his mates been given this very important job?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

9:25 from Cov, just calling into Reading. Coach C

Yep in the same place as you. Say hi if you can work out who I am

Definitely making eye contact with people now to see if they nodded

Like a modern version of Brief Encounter.

It does seem that is the case but I'm not sure he's gonna suit the role at all. Very odd with the likes of Allen, Waghorn and Jodi available.

Slowpoke suggested it the other day, and to me it's an odd idea. Fingers crossed it's a stroke of genius.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

I can see Maatsen being good in an advanced midfield position

Eccles more defensive than Allen , possible reason to play him CM instead .

It's probably maatson AM but not what I would have done
