Hard to argue against being unchanged... however, Bidwell back in at LWB and maybe Walker for Howley.

 

[robbiethemole]

Play, score goals, win.........simples

 

[Grendel]

You’d hope he will put Bidwell back in.

That’s the only likely change

 

[TomRad85]

Swap the wing backs probably, maybe Walker for Godden. We don't have much of a squad to rotate tbh but he'll have to be using what there is of it.

 

[Paxman II]

Hull just had a good result looking to climb the table. We must not be over confident for this one & we should come out on top.

Walker for Howley? In midfield? Why?

 

[PVA]

Rotate the wing backs, Walker in for Godden. Otherwise unchanged.

2-1 win, Vik plus late Godden goal off the bench.

 

[Julie SBA]

Walker for Howley? In midfield? Why?

Howley played as a 10 didn't he?

 

[shmmeee]

Draw I reckon.

Wilson
McNally Fadz Doyle
BNC Hamer Howley/Sheaf Eccles Bidwell
Gyokeres Walker

S: Moore, Rose, JWE, Dabo, Godden, Maguire, Howley/Burroughs

1-1 McNally

Is Sheaf potentially back that soon?

Said a week to ten days on 24th Feb. It’ll be 15 days since on match day, so it’s possible.

Oh ok nice. I've kind of buried my head in the sand over these injuries. Expecting the worst for Allen and Palmer so I'm pleasantly surprised if they come back early.

Last season we played Sheff Utd, trounced them. Next game, Hull at home. We were awful. Not saying I expect the same but, well, this IS Coventry.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Bidwell in for JWE, be a difficult game I think.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

We've obviously got enough about us to beat Hull, but I'd probably accept a draw if we then beat Wigan and Blackpool (nothing to do with me missing this game but going to the other two...). I'll go 1-0 City though, Godden to score.

I'm hoping a week's rest is enough for Dabo but don't really want to risk it seeing as how light we are. BNC is adequate.

Im hoping Allen will be back by the Watford game and Palmer who knows, I’ve not seen a timescale given at all.

Any chance O'Hare for the play off final?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Hull have a decent squad, but blow a bit hot and cold. Let's hope we catch them on the latter. I'd settle for 2 wins out of the next 3; Hull ought to be the toughest of the three.

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Last season we played Sheff Utd, trounced them. Next game, Hull at home. We were awful. Not saying I expect the same but, well, this IS Coventry.

It was the low point of last season for me. I arrived late just as they went ahead, and then I was leaving to get a head start back up the M1 when they scored their second. Dismal performance.

 

[CV22SBA]

Howley played as a 10 didn't he?

Yeah but Walker couldn't play that position he's a 6 yard box striker.
I'd swap Goddan for Walker and leave Howley in.

 

[Offhegoes]

I'd be tempted to leave JWE in at LWB as we're at home and could use his more offensive approach. Walker for Godden is another possible change, but I can't see Robins doing that. If Sheaf is back then it will be interesting, but Eccles doesn't deserve to lose his place, and am not sure you can play Eccles - Hamer & Sheaf all together. Think he would keep Sheaf on the bench as we have a midweek game

 

[Mr Panda]

I think Robins will pick the same team for this one, just swapping JWE for Bidwell.

Reward Walker for his goal against Huddersfield with a slightly earlier cameo if Godden hasn’t bagged one.

Think we’ll ride on a wave of confidence with the four goals against Huddersfield to take this one 2-0

Really looking forward to Saturday!

Boo

 

[baldy]

Exactly - Walker's not a number 10 kinda player

 

[covhead1]

Gonna be a tough game but we're finding some consistency and that's why we'll win 3-1 and Vik to score at least one.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Walker in for Godden is the only change required. 3-1 win Gyokeres, Eccles and Walker

 

[SkyblueDad]

Can’t see Robins swapping Walker for Godden.
In the midfield he has some options assuming the injured are still unavailable he could push JWE forward in front of Bidwell stay with Howley I think Dabo will start, there are a few options open to him.

 

[Governmac]

Going to be a tough game, only Burnley have conceded less since the world cup.

 

[Gibbo]

I'd swap Walker for Godden, and give him the brief to stick close to Vik to pick up the scraps

 

[Astute]

We've only conceded one goal in the last 9 hours of play.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Vic don’t leave scraps

 

[SkyblueDad]

Godden is the best chance taker of the two, look at his record, he has been quiet the last two or three games goals wise but I know who the opposition would prefer not to play.

I still think that someone with more pace than Godden will get more chances than him waiting for the chance to bury.

 

[stevefloyd]

Performance wise Godden doesn't deserve to play but Walkers confidence must be up a little after his goal and its about time Robins trusted him after chopping him when he scored 2 goals, but I suspect Robins will yet again choose Godden
