Match Thread Coventry City - Leeds United Match Thread - Saturday 6th Apr (19 Viewers)

[Grendel]

Tomorrow will be one of the toughest games of the season, add to that the fact both teams have something to play for, and it’s going to be a really tense watch as a Cov fan.

Interesting to see if MR plays to restrict them as per the away leg or plays on the front foot à la Wolves.

While not always the most convincing defensively, MVE needs to play RB to deal with their pace. Palmer, COH, Wright to be behind Simms, as all can carry the ball forward.

Draw would be a great result and a win another level. Be great to see the in stadium reaction of 4000 of the ‘best fans in the world’ too.

We need to win in reality. Leeds are gung-ho attacking and not so great at the back - it good be high scoring

We have to win. Draw its basically over, loss it is over


That seems to be Robins mentality for the run in. He's got nothing to lose, we're outsiders

My guess based on Saddlebrains comments is this, or something similar, maybe dropping COH or Palmer out for Torp and just playing two behind Simms instead…

Not far off at all

Sounds like we’re throwing the Kitching Simms at them.

Tough game, especially after coughing up the opportunity to close the gap on Norwich by losing at home to Cardiff.

We really need a run of wins now, if we are going to get in the play off group

Leeds are feeling the pressure a bit, so a win is not out of the question. But we need a good 90 minutes today, not 20 or 30 mins like in the last two games.

We need to win in reality. Leeds are gung-ho attacking and not so great at the back

10 clean sheets and just 6 goals conceded in their last 15 games.

I wish we were that not so great at the back.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Most clean sheets in the league!

No they are not, you really don’t know anything do you. People in boxes etc have been sent this

Looking at the attachment i think the fans behind the goal might have been given this as well.

It's not over if we draw and Norwich and Preston lose. Which isn't beyond the reams of possibility.

Don’t know why you’d post early team/formation news when there are literally thousands of Leeds fans sneaking into this thread because they couldn’t get a ticket
