2-2 we find some scoring boots but defensive frailties make it hard work.

I would like to think that we'll win this hands down given Colchester are one place from the bottom, the players hopefully realise that we're only 3 points north of them and gap between the goal difference isn't huge and they have a game in hand.

Stuck at work (on a lovely day) but will be watching the live text in my lunch hour.

I feel positive and predict a 3-1 victory with Colchester leading 1-0 at HT. Drama all the way. PUSB

Interesting, they don't lose many when they score the first goal!

 

[Ashdown]

0-1 Colchester, 80th minute....!

 

[ArchieLittle]

Last game I'll get to this season, so going for 1-0, sneak it in the last 5 mins

 

[ollyservetta]

id like to think that with so many players out of contract with only a few games to show some talent ,that will give them the boot to go out and give it all ,but then saying that we have no real talisman to lead the way ,id like to say 1.0 city but got a horrible feeling bout the rest of the season ,id had us odds on to get 4 points out the last 2 games ,with the way the squad is I don't think you can predict anything ,only total inconsistancy.I try to be positive , but you got to be honest,

@Coventry_City: FULL #CCFC XI: Burge, Willis, Pennington, Johnson, Stokes, Ward, Fleck, Barton, O'Brien, Nouble, Proschwitz. #PUSB

 

[Otis]

Does he? CWR saying no team news yet. Where have you got this from? If legit, please share full line up. Thank you very much.

 

[Otis]

Right, raffle time. Name the minute Reda either gets injured or sent off! ;-)

4-4-2? Interesting

 

[LJC_CCFC]

@ColU_Official: U's to start at Coventry: Walker, Brindley, Eastman, Khumalo, Wynter, Gilbey, Lapslie, Moncur, Massey, Porter, Murphy.

Murphy on loan from Norwich is a talent and has bags of pace.

Ah the confidence... I'll go 2nd!

4-4-2? Interesting

Could be 4-4-2, 4-3-3/4-5-1, 4-2-3-1? As long as it works I'm happy.

 

[smileycov]

i fancy us getting a 3 - 1 out of this.

What position?

 

[LJC_CCFC]

What position?

Looking at that team it could be 4-3-3 with Murphy and Massey on the wings and Porter up top. However Murphy can play anywhere across the front line.

 

[kg82]

Could be 4-4-2, 4-3-3/4-5-1, 4-2-3-1? As long as it works I'm happy.

True actually, Nouble on the left. More like to be 4-5-1 isn't it

 

[Otis]

Ah the confidence... I'll go 2nd!

2nd minute to get injured. Sent off a couple of mins later?

 

[Otis]

Interesting perhaps, that Oggy and the keepers are doing their routine down the other end today

 

[Otis]

Maybe City will warm up down here too. Good move if it happens. Warm up in front of where the most of your fans are.

 

[Chipfat]

Johnson will Score a header, get a card,, give a pen away and a 2-1 cov win,,,,,, we would all take that..

I sincerely cross my fingers and hope Reda stays fit and does well.

Seconded, he's the one in that team that jumps out as a threat. Interesting to see which wing they put him on - whoever he is facing, Colchester have potentially identified as a weak link.

 

[Otis]

Yep, City down other end. Also keeps the away team away from their own fans. Good sensible move.

Brindley, Khumalo, (both loaned in the last month) Gilbey and Moncur all good footballers at this level.

I still fancy us.

Nouble needs to step up to the mark today. If he does his stuff we will give them a lot more to worry about.

So do I, start with the right tempo and we have enough to win the game.

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

The danger man for them is Massey. Keep an eye out for him.

 

[Otis]

Suddenly they are Barcelona? ;-) All these players we suddenly need to watch out for? They are bottom 4 I believe. ;-)

 

[Nick]

Where's Martin?

 

[chiefdave]

Reda hat trick today then!
