I didnt say Van Ewijk may not be ready. I said if he's not then Sakamoto could play there. Same as Godden could replace Wright.
It's just a guess at the starting XI, nothing deeper than that.

About as believable as hoying bottles of piss at Sunderland fans. Much like the Mackem cunts they are probably just projecting as its the kind of thing them happy clapping gremlins would do.

Sorry for being pedantic, "but may not be ready" "might not be ready" "if he's not ready to start "
All mean the same thing.

Still very reliant on Vardy and he’s 37 in January

Palmer has been the best player in pre-season. He's a certain starter.
Hard to judge this one. Leicester have a new manager, and have had a poor pre season. They still have a great squad, but how many of those want to be there?
We will have at least 6 new players in the starting X1. Got a feeling Sakamoto is going to cause them some real problems whether starting, or coming off the bench. 1-2 (To City)

Our defence haven't been tested pre season so my heart says 1.1 but my head says 0.4.
That's my go to usually. Drinks are expensive though.
Yeah I realise that, thanks, but I didn't just pick 2 random pubs off a map.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes because to my knowledge it doesn’t really look like they’ve replaced the creativity they lost in Maddison/Tielemans. I don’t see Winks providing that
That isn’t to say they haven’t got players that can still hurt us but I think we’re playing these guys at the best possible time whilst they’re still in their transition period.

I’d be a bit more pragmatic in this game.
I’d love us to play an attacking lineup but would t want to risk going a couple of goals down within the first 20 mins.
I’d start with Wilson in goal, he deserves to play. Then my back three would be Thomas, Fadz and Lati.
At wingback I’d start van Ewijk for his pace and Bidwell for his defensive capabilities. Also with Wilson, Fadz and Bidwell you have some familiarity in the defensive areas from last season.
Midfield is the most intriguing for me. Palmer has had a good pre-season, however I’d go with the three of Sheaf, Kelly and Hamer. The reasoning behind this is that we will no doubt have to spend a lot of time without the ball and Kelly is excellent at organising.
up front I would start Simms and Godden. They have started every pre-season game together and throwing Wright straight in (if he’s available) alongside Simms would not be my choice.
That leaves us with a good, creative substitutes bench. Palmer, Sakamoto, Wright (if available), Dasilva and Eccles can all make a difference if required to do so

Don’t think any of the Ember Inn’s in Cov show the football.
Is there actually a list of Coventry pubs somewhere who show the matches? Would be useful.

1-1 draw is my prediction.
I also think Binks is going to become a crowd favourite very quickly!

Win this match and our season is lit 
Agree with this, except I'd go Palmer over Godden to help get control of midfield. Palmer will be well up for it after a frustrating end to last season. He's capable of bringing van ewijk Hamer and simms very much into play and is a goal threat himself. Wright Sakamoto Godden all great options from the bench

Lose and we’re goin’ downWin this match and our season is lit
It’s a fair point and I know leaving Palmer out would be very harsh considering how good he’s looked all pre-season.

Agree with most except the brain fart re Palmer. You might as well drop Robins
Why is it a brain fart? Sheaf, Hamer and Kelly helped take us to the playoff final with pragmatic displays against Middlesbrough. Palmer does deserve to start but Leicester are a good side who will test us defensively

On a similar note I wouldn't be surprised to see Eccles start at right wing back. Just for one game.

Any Sky Blues in Plymouth?
If so where's decent to watch the game please.

No idea what team altho the logic in Procdoc's submission is pretty good.
Fair chance some players we fully expect to be superseded later in the season may well start - Wilson, Bidwell & Godden. Bidwell in particular - McFadz has got to have someone he knows in the back line.
Even so, sadly it's a defeat 2-0.
