Match Thread Leeds United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Sep (8 Viewers)

[LilleSkyBlue]

It’s a very Hanseatic League lineup

That'll be the new coaching philosophy from now on I should think

[ProfessorbyGrace]

I think if we score more goals than them, we should be ok.

No guarantees though.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Logically, we’ll struggle but think we’ll somehow pick up a point or 3 this weekend. Either way, it’ll be an early start and on the sauce early doors and I’m looking forward to it!

You know, I for whatever the reason believe the same that we’ll get something here. Don’t know why and probably will be twice depressed on Saturday for it but feel Robins will pull a rabbit out of his hat and get something here ( Feel supporting city gives me Bi-polar )

 

[rexo87]

2-0 cov, Simms double

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I fancy us to pick up at least a point here, so Im gonna go 1-1 Simms to score

 

[AOM]

Think it was Leeds away last season where Simms had his first proper good game for us. Hopefully can kick start his league form this year as well

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

9-7 to us, a treble hat trick for Godden.

Dovin

MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell

Eccles Rudoni

Not sure.

I think they'd be on board with stopping the 'terrible defending' but our transfer policy doesn't bode well for 'not winning anything with kids'

9-7 to us, a treble hat trick for Godden.

I actually played in a game that we lost 9-7 in the Leamington Sunday league. Our opponents (Stockton) were already champions, and had been on the lash the night before. Our 'goalkeeper' was a lovely lad who looked like Catweazle, and had stood in for a couple of games. For one goal, he stood in the area, waving his arms around, arguing with his own defenders, while the ball was still bouncing around in our box - they then scored. Most hilarious bit of goalkeeping I've seen in my many years of playing/watching.

 

[skyblue025]

Wouldn't surprise me if EMC starts ahead of Wright due too his ability to track back.

 

[procdoc]

Why do people want us to go three at the back? Don’t you remember how horrendous we were last season before we switched to a back four?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Just seen Jamie’s out for three months. Bens been training at week so assuming he’s good to go. Leave us with four CMs including Jack.

While this is not the side to do it against wonder if a 4-4-2 would help us at the moment so we could replace both cms?

 

[rexo87]

Dovin

MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell

Lati

Rudi Eccles Sheaf

Simms Wright

Lati in front of back 4 to kick the shit out of them

 

[wingy]

KAI Will start! Just a hunch!

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

KAI Will start! Just a hunch!

Is he ready?, I haven’t seen much of him but it’s a huge ask to start in the championship away at Leeds. Would punt Robins plays Joel as a DM before Kai starts.

We played 442 for part of the game against Norwich, we were awful and hopelessly out numbered in midfield.

With only four Cms though, doubt we could play anymore than two while keeping depth in role unless you move Joel up to cover.

 

[procdoc]

Assuming Sheaf is good to start, I’d go with
Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Sheaf Rudoni
Sakamoto Wright
Simms

Yeah just a whim of mine, suspect Sheaf will be missing at least for half of it, it's a free hit on current form?

 

[Cov4life]

I know what you mean about the free hit wingy, but it’s frustrating we’re having to talk like this after spending 45 million. Poor recruitment again is costing us.

 

[Boicey]

I'd be extremely surprised if Sheaf starts. He'll be a 60 min sub I suspect.
Lati will go midfield...

 

[Boicey]

The fantasy was we buy a shed load of strikers and go and attack every game and crush a good few.
Then you wake up and realise it's Cov...

How much did Leeds squad cost ?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Leeds are missing out on James, Woner and Manor Solomon thats 3 big misses and Bamford, Firpo, Ampadu are doubts they’re looking low on numbers

 

[Cov4life]

How much did Leeds squad cost ?

What’s your point?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Get why you say but I disagree. If you want to compete at the top (top 6) you have to go into every game believing you can get the points.

If we’re 2-0 down at the 80th put him on but don’t put him on just because we on odds shouldn’t win there.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

What’s your point?

You're saying we have spent £45m so shouldn't be expecting a defeat to Leeds, so I am pointing out that their squad will have cost a lot more, so maybe we should? By the way, I am not a defeatist - just making an observation! (I'll be at Elland Road losing my voice, regardless)

 

[Boicey]

Leeds finished 3rd last year and we finished 9th. After a year of 'gelling' and quite a few additions we should have some confidence of competing. I hope we don't go silly defensive.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I hope we don't go silly defensive.

 

[Boicey]

That's pretty silly TBF.

I didn’t say we shouldn’t be expecting a defeat to Leeds, however we shouldn’t be in this position where we have one win in 6 and our confidence is lower than a snakes belly after spending what we have.

After hearing Leeds fans on social media, they seem to think they’ll struggle to score tomorrow, so I think we might get a good result.

To do anything this season, there’s gotta be an ounce of swagger going into games now.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Personally think Sheaf will start, and come off at some point rather than the other way around.
