Surely they wouldn’t put a picture of EMC in if he wasn’t fit

Hincha · 2025-04-14T09:42:19+0100

Collins
MvE - Lati - Binks - Kitching - JDS
Sheaf - Grimes - Rudoni
Simms - Wright

Don't hate it

Thomas a massive loss, not that bothered about the other two based on their recent form, albeit leaves us quite short.

Lati's best position is right sided centre back so that's something.

Agree with this. Torp and EMC are good players but I would have had both on the bench tonight.

CB cover is a worry. I would probably pick Lati, but I don't really know why.

Torp I can see but the other two doesn’t make sense to me. EMC was taken off as he had ran out of energy and looked fine coming off the pitch.

Thomas was absolutely fine last game. Would have to be some ridiculous bad luck

Celebrations in 94th mins?
I always wince for the players (whilst obviously being ecstatic myself!) when I see the pile- ons etc....

Match Day Thread - Hull City v Coventry

I'm $hite at predicting, if pushed. I'd go Away Away Home Draw Home I foresee a bad afternoon for us in terms of other results, but if we can't...

It's our first choice XI except for Dovin and Thomas. If we can't get a couple of results without them, we don't deserve a crack at promotion. Simms needs to step up a bit. Bench players need to be on it.

Your idea of our best choice 11 maybe, nothing to suggest Lampard feels the same way about a supposed strongest 11.

TomRad85 · 2025-04-14T09:58:41+0100

Basically the midfield and the attack could work out ok as long as Sheaf and Simms step up and perform in a way they are capable of but haven't really so far this season... over to them i suppose. As for the defence, lets just hope Saddles talking bollocks on that one.

shepardo01 · 2025-04-14T10:01:36+0100

Thomas is the biggest loss in this.
Non match practiced centre-back and a fragile Collins - away from home - makes sad reading.

When Binks came in at Derby, the back four (particularly him and Bidwell) were all over the shop.

CBS16 · 2025-04-14T10:01:47+0100

Need Thomas back ASAP. Got Doug to thank that we will still be able to put out a good 11, just cannot afford any more injuries!

Sky Blue Goblin · 2025-04-14T10:01:52+0100

Assuming injuries are true, 3-4-2-1? Could play Collime, Lati- Kitching - Binks, MVE - Sheaf - Grimes - Dasilva, Sakamoto - Rudoni - Wright?

alexccfc99 · 2025-04-14T10:02:56+0100

The EMC ‘injury’ is making less sense to me as it goes on

He ran across to celebrate the Paterson winner last week, it quite clearly wasn’t done in game so what the hell have they been up to in training

Binks is also shite, Thomas be the biggest miss of the lot

DT-R · 2025-04-14T10:03:44+0100

I think tonight depends entirely on how quickly we can get the first goal. Against pompey, we get the pen for hand ball or Rudonis header goes in, it's a completely different game. The longer the kept the clean sheet the bigger their belief. We get the pen 10mins in and score we walk away 2 or 3-0 easily. Same tonight, the longer we don't score the bigger belief Hull get, the more body on the line defending they do. We score early doors and they have to come out and play and score. We should find gaps. I'm saying 3-0 tonight.

At Sheffield United too i think we suffered from not having the Thomas/Kitching duo. As for Lati, I don't even know if i'm over the piss weak belly flop followed by the late goal at Norwich away.

KenilworthSkyBlue · 2025-04-14T10:05:56+0100

EMC isn't a massive blow to be honest as long as Wright can stay injury free in the final run in.

Thomas being out is an issue. Lati is far too pedestrian and slow to operate in a back four.

Against a forward that is remotely athletic he'll be exposed.

Captain Dart · 2025-04-14T10:06:10+0100

The bench depth is sufficient even if EMC and Bobby Thomas are out. Assuming Wright plays left wing, Simms and Lati start. I don't think we will play 3 at the back because that leaves the bench light on cover if one of the CBs gets an injury.

Collins
MVE, Lati, Kitch, DaSilva
Sheaf, Grimes, Rudoni
Saka, Simms, Wright

Bench.. Binks, Wilson, Pato, Bassette, Raphael, Bidwell, Allen, Sandiford, another academy player.

Marty · 2025-04-14T10:06:57+0100

Lats is shite, Needs to be moved on in the summer. Binks too.

If he has suffered a huge blow at both ends it could be career-threatening.

Or he had an amazing Saturday night.

Nemanja Matic comes to mind. Knee sliding after (i think it was) the league cup?

There's also a "city unseen" video this season of MVE getting clattered in the back of the head in a celebration huddle. Also MVE almost faceplanting the advertisements celebrating a Saka goal. Just MVE, we should ban MVE from celebrating for fear of injury

Blew 2 million on a defender that wasn't good enough to get in the side when he was on loan, what a colossal waste of money.

EMC hasn't looked right since he came back from injury, so wondering whether there is a reoccurrence or some underlying niggle

skybluecam · 2025-04-14T10:24:29+0100

If Thomas is out for any length of time it's horrendous

Lati and Collins starting in the playoffs

what a joke

I know for a fact of a couple of Championship teams who do have a look at forthcoming opposition forum boards.

Agree, hes had this toe issue, wonder if thats just got to point of no return now.

The Thomas one is odd, must have done it training after Pompey game, as he seemed ok. Hoping this is fake news!

I think at this point EMC is clearly first choice, no?

GK and CB are two positions that take the biggest dive in quality when replaced for us.

He may be first choice, but the dive in quality from moving Haji to the left and Simms up top is marginal at best

I keep saying this to people but no one wants to accept it for some reason. Some even lose their head over the suggestion

PVA · 2025-04-14T10:36:19+0100

No Thomas will be a big blow.

Going to need to score 3 a game with Lati and Collins in there

skybluecam · 2025-04-14T10:37:41+0100

Right, I’m choosing to believe this is a psyop masterclass from Frank and everyone is actually fit. 4D chess master!

Mad take! We need depth at this time of the season
