Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Aug (5 Viewers)

I would bring in players who could stake a claim for regular starter - BTA, Latibeudiere, Eccles and Palmer.
Though Latibeudiere and Palmer get regular stick on here, both show a fighting spirit - something that was severely lacking on Saturday.

Would also add da silva onto that list. Think he could surprise a few this year.

 

[rexo87]

Go strong. Mainly because I’m going to watch

 

[procdoc]

Couldn’t give a fuck about this game to be honest. I still feel a bit deflated from our performance on Saturday after a really positive pre-season

 

[Viktor17]

All about performance and intent tonight for me - want to see reaction and some DNA of how we are going to play. Result irrelevant.

need to keep 4 in from Saturday - dovin / thomas / binks deffo to create trust (we chopped and changed too much there) and then probably Allen as I wouldn’t start him Friday.

Lati / da silva / wright / Tavares / BTA / palmer / andrews maybe to start

 

[shmmeee]

Early season. TBH I’d be tempted to put the same team out and tell them to put the weekend right. Unless anyone is particularly unfit. No more midweek games for a couple of months so fatigue shouldn’t be an issue.

 

[Sick Boy]

The calls to play Wilson after our new keeper has only played one game are just bizarre.

Think maybe because we often play an alternative keeper in the cup. I'd stick with Dovin personally to give him some more game time.

Agree - I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t play. I expect we’ll play a pretty much full strength side after Saturday.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Let's hope they're not taking the new sleep coach too literally tonight

 

[covcity4life]

Nothing bizarre about it. Alot of teams play with a different designated cup keeper.

 

[Balli001]

Then you will be very disappointed

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Dovin
Thomas Binks Kitching
Sakamoto Lati Allen JDS
Palmer
Tavares. Obikwu

go strongest team

 

[mark82]

Think it'll be strong, but not full strength.

 

[pusbccfc]

Just checked...


You need to start 4 outfield players who have either played 40+ games, were in the starting 11 last week or will end the season in the top 10 appearance list for the club.

A few names may not hit that requirement. Taveres, DaSilva and Kitching? Has Lati made 40 appearances?

 

[CovLad94]

Not really fussed about tonight's outcome, however need some positivity and a morale boost after last Saturday. I'd expect Wilson to start and either Kitching or Lati to start, my guess is something like this:

Wilson
MvE Lati Binks Dasilva
Eccles Allen
Palmer
Tavares BtA Mason-Clark

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Dovin
Lati Thomas Kitching DaSilva
Allen Eccles Palmer
Tavares BTS Wright

 

[Offhegoes]

Dovin
Lati Thomas Kitching DaSilva
Allen Eccles Palmer
Tavares BTS Wright

That's the team I'd play - With Wright, Allen, Eccles & BTS playing an hour, and giving game time to Obikwu, and perhaps young Dausch as well.

 

[Sick Boy]

Nothing bizarre about it. Alot of teams play with a different designated cup keeper.

It’s more that he’s only played one game so far and there were times where you could tell there were a few misunderstanding between him and the defenders, which is to be expected.

I get that but I would be surprised if he starts tonight personally. Just for morale etc too I expect Wilson to be thrown a bone. Dovin will be back in on Friday night

 

[Saddlebrains]

Only a couple of changes from Saturday apparently

Can't wait for Robins to use the 'players are tired' excuse on Friday

Hmm surprised! Looking forward to hopefully progressing though. I started the fa cup bandwagon from round 3 and everyone ended duo joining in. Same will happen here but would need us to make final 8 before most jumped on I think as less prestige

he did this last year tbf. I remember us playing a pretty strong side vs AFCW and losing

 

[covcity4life]

I imagine jds lati Eccles Wilson will be the changes if we only making limited ones

 

[Flying Fokker]

The wheel goes round.

 

[Governmac]

MvE probably playing going by his latest instagram story.

 

[Offhegoes]

To be fair, we were so flat and passive on Saturday, he probably thinks they need another game. Players have 8 days rest after Friday night.

What’s the shape?

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

I'm guessing at the focus being on Oxford, so a line up of:

Wilson
Burroughs Lati Kitching DaSilva
Allen Howley
Tavares Palmer Mason-Clark
BTA

Opps - didn't notice Saddles post! So obviously, I'm totally wrong!

Good to hear. We should be going for the win.

Just to clarify I was taking the piss

I don't have a clue really

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Will be relatively strong tonight. Burroughs, Howley, Dausch and Obikwu are all playing for the U21s away at QPR.
