Bonus win lol, in your opinion we should have lost that game so we might aswell hand the points back?

I didn’t pick the team just working out the thinking

Robins has deliberately played that team to make a point to Doug about not getting more transfers done in january.

 

[MalcSB]

The only thing this thread is missing, is someone suggesting Robins has deliberately played that team to make a point to Doug about not getting more transfers done in january.

That’s you subtly making just that suggestion.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Sacrifice an FA Cup quater final?

Wright and Saka on the bench if needed. Strong enough defence. Let's see how it goes before we cry our eyes out.

The point is we’re playing Maidstone United and I get that we need to respect any opposition but the rotated squad should still win that game comfortably so I’d rather not sacrifice a league game that a win puts us back in a highly contested top 6.

Lets hope our mate, Keith Stroud, is on form again tonight !!!
We haven't done too bad with him in charge just lately.

 

[covcity4life]

For the people moaning about the lineup - this is why you might want to consider resting first choice wingers like Sakamoto against lower league opposition in the Cup

So we should have gone out of the cup to prioritise a midweek away game in league that won't decide anything?

Think he's chosen right personally

 

[Macca]

Like we did against Wrexham?

we should be capable of overcoming a team 2 promotions from league football

 

[skybluecam]

Like when Wright plays on the left?

Wright regularly played on the left at his previous clubs.

Guess how many appearances Simms has out wide and who they're for?

 

[SBT]

Like we did against Wrexham?

If your squad is significantly better now, and you’re playing against a significantly worse team then…..yes, obviously?

Looks awful on TV, cant ee the other side of the ground.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Obviously mindful of their attacking strength down their right flank so Dasilva in front of Bidwell to offer some support.

They usually play a back 3 of late, Bali Mumba is a very good , attack minded RWB & with Whittaker on the right of a front 3 they would likely cause us problems 2v1 in that area.

I'm going to curse this, but if I were Robins I would actually be targeting Mumba if he plays later. He's looked poor every time I've seen him, and hasn't provided much end product this season playing in a higher position. He was previously frequently at full back, but hasn't been playing as that this season. If for whatever reason he does come on and play in that position though, put Wright or Sakamoto on to run at him.

After watching this game at Wembley I couldn't believe how stand-out bad he was. Bolton can thank the fact he played that day.

Team that day

Shall we see who plays where before we moan about it?

We won 6-2! It was not an especially close game.

It’s not as simple as saying if Sakamoto was rested against Oxford then he could start tonight, but if you’re asking me which game I’d rather have him start then it’s a no-brainer for me.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Just seen the team, fucking hell

 

[Nick]

Was that stand still being built last time we were there?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Don’t see a lot wrong with the starting line up and it leaves a strong bench to change things case of sitting back and first half and debate how things are at half-time.

 

[Matt smith]

To be fair if we lose tonight we’re still more than in the race

we shouldn’t be sacrificing any game, but we were always going to have to select this sort of side once or twice

Team that day

Waghorn and Tavares. Wrexham must have been laughing all the way home about that, let alone the result.

Havent we played Sheffield Wednesday in the cup inthe meantime?

 

[itsabuzzard]

Wtf is that, Robins has thought f*ck it, Callum is out so no point trying today

 

[HadjiChippo]

I’m expecting a well rested Godden to run wild tonight

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Bit misty here

 

[SkyblueDad]

Just seen the team, fucking hell

Do expand on that daft statement

 

[Evo1883]

Cracking turnout by the SBA

 

[Nick]

I’m expecting a well rested Godden to run wild tonight

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

The fuck is this light show bollocks- kidding on like its the Bernabeu

 

[Sbarcher]

Roses are red
City in blue
Plymouth nil
Coventry 2

 

[Nick]

Lati captain over Godden?

 

[SkyblueDad]

I’m expecting a well rested Godden to run wild tonight

Not even in the squad he is obviously injured.

 

[Jarvo87]

Weather is dire

Absolutely, as was the ‘light show’ - what was that about….

 

[Nick]

Not even in the squad he is obviously injured.

What?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Agree 100%

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Simms is scoring a goal today… I saw a sign earlier today. A van pulled up in front of me that said ‘Simms Removals’

 

[hamertime]

Can’t even see it, probably for the best
