2 - 2 prediction from me.

[fernandopartridge]

Torp has done the press conference so it feels likely that he'll start. I would imagine ahead of Sakamoto.

Just got up here, shite journey. Staying over night in Premier Inn and some cheap scram at local Hungry Horse shortly, as it's named the Highfield Inn. Hopefully 3 points tomorrow as I'm not sure I can face the trip back if we leave empty handed.

I'm going 3-1 City same team as last week bar Rudi for Kitching. Torp to come on for Tats again at the hour mark.

Go out for a few beers, then get yourself a Parmo.

Dare i ask what a Parmo is? With the family btw if that changes it

 

[eyesee]

I can't even go and watch us play at home till the end of Dec , consultants orders . Just had keyhole surgery yesterday.

...i hope your keyhole is better soon.

It’s a local ‘delicacy’. Chicken or pork cutlet, covered in sauce and cheese. Crazy amount of calories

 

[CovValleyBoy]

then say that. Don’t say he’s short

I swear this “all wingbacks need to be colossuses” thing only started as a way to dig at Dasilva. I’ve never heard it before. Cafu are Carlos were midgets and generally recognised as the best

Is it appropriate to say Cafu & Carlos were and probably still are "midgets" ?

Vertically challenged?

When it’s matchday but you’re not going to the game:

Was Cafu even that short?

 

[shmmeee]

He was 5 9

 

[Bad Boy]

Still out of action and will be for some time so for all of you going to Middlesbrough today, give them a shout for me and safe journey

I personally wouldn’t be starting Rudoni as a wing back away from home. I’d bring Dasilva back in as it’s his natural position

Normally I'd agree, but with a back 3, Sheaf and Eccles not really creative, then we only have MVE and Tats or Torp so I think it's a risk we need to take.

Personally I think Robins is too conservative to go that attacking so probably a moot point anyway

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Don’t want the squad but if any itk bastard can tell me the lwb so I can win a bet I’d be grateful

 

[Kingokings204]

Just in the Wetherspoons. Anywhere else to go for cov fans?

Yeah - the Riverside a bit later

Haven't found anywhere. Walking around like lost in the desert, instead of water, searching for Cov fans.

Here comes my bi-weekly question…is this game available on NowTV/Sky?
(This time I’ve googled and can’t find it…I feel old).

No as it’s a 3pm kick off sadly.

Ah right. Well thanks for clearing up (I’ll make a mental note of that too).

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Infant Hercules is a great little craft bar.
Went last season, nice beer and nice people

 

[Cally Fedora]

I wouldn’t be starting Rudoni at LWB. It’s not a long term thing for me. I’d go back to a flat back four. Sheafs return to fitness means the old system can work. Front three of Wright, Simms, Saka with Rudoni in behind.

It’ll be 5 at the back

 

[Johhny Blue]

He was 5 9

What is he now?

 

[clint van damme]

Simms not even on the bench?
Must be injured.

 

[Ian1779]

Simms??

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Simms not in the squad. Rudoni starting at LWB.

[Ccfcisparks]

BTA in for Simms who appears to be injured as he’s not in the squad

 

[Chris1987]

What is he now?

1.75 metres
