I thought it was reasonable to go from a loss to an eleventy billion win.

Okay, if it's Murphy v old man I will go for a 1-0 in the 94th minute off the ref's butt cheeks.

That better?

Will do for me ! (BTW the "old man" played in the 0-0 at the Ricoh)

Lanno · Mar 12, 2016

1-1 for me. City to take the lead and concede an equaliser in last 10 minutes. Hope I'm wrong!!

Incidentally I've stuck a cheeky bet on the following League 1 fixtures:

Barnsley v Southend (home)
Bradford v Donny (home)
Burton v Fleetwood (home)
Chesterfield v Walsall (draw)
Colchester v Wigan (away)
Gills v Crewe (home)
Swindon v Millwall (draw)

Odds: 212/1

Not bothered about performance l, formation or tactics as long as we get 3 points I don't care

We will not keep a clean sheet, but will score more than Blackpool.

2-1 City Armstrong & Henderson

Otis · Mar 12, 2016

Looking like we may well need 3 points today and 3 points next week to have any chance of getting straight back into the top 6, so a big ask.

You would expect Bradford and Barnsley to win today and Barnsley have Fleetwood next week.

Luckily, Football's a funny game, so hopefully Doncaster can do the improbable and beat Bradford and we can hope that Southend can get something at Barnsley.

Bradford are away at Wigan next week so might slip up. Barnsley are at Fleetwood.

Bottom line is though we have to win today. We could possibly be 6 points outside the top 6 come 5 pm.

Be interesting as to how today pans out, but a draw probably won't do us much good at all.

Ooh, I like riddles!

Is the answer Reykjavik?

johnwillomagic · Mar 12, 2016

I think we'll win this one for some reason Cov to win 2-0. I now do not have a clue what team TM will pick
not sure he does now tbh but sure he will stick to bloody 4-2-3-1 formation! :facepalm:

He has already hinted at Armstrong playing just a little deeper, so I would say behind either Henderson, Tudgay or Fortune.

steve82 · Mar 12, 2016

Teams will most likely be:
----------------------RCC------------------
Ricketts---Martin----Stephens ---Stokes
----------vincelot -----Fleck------------
Murphy --------------------------Cole
-----------------Armstrong------------------
--------------------MAF---------------------

Tho I'd prefer this team if he sticks 4231
----------------------RCC------------------
Lorenztson---Martin----Stephens ---Stokes
------------vincelot -------Rose-------------
Murphy -----------------------------Cole
-----------------Armstrong------------------
---------------MAF/Henderson---------------

Otis · Mar 12, 2016

Unless Ricketts gets injured, I'm afraid he's in!

Either of those line ups should win this match.

Eitehr of those line-ups should win the match if it was last September, October or November.

Covcraig@bury · Mar 12, 2016

2-0 Blackpool

Your right, don't no what TM sees in his recent performances to say he's a starter. Very poor.
Lorenztson gives us better options going forward and defensively too
Horses for courses today with a poor pitch, so leave the donkey Ricketts on the beach

ccfc_Tom · Mar 12, 2016

1-0 blackpool

Football in general is shit to us as cov fans! We don't do getting luck!

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 12, 2016

I can't see us getting anything from today's game.

Pitch is crap and that means we can't play a passing game. It's a lump it up front day and that means we should start with Henderson and MAF with Arms sitting behind them to run onto flicks.

I would be tempted to push Lorentzon as a winger for a laugh and put Rose in with Vinnh for some energy.

I would leave Maddison and Murphy at the Travelodge so they can be brothers and eat plenty of Colemans mustard.

SkyBlueMatt · Mar 12, 2016

Just past Stoke, should be in the pub before 12. Going out after so come on city, don't ruin my night!

skybluelee · Mar 12, 2016

Fuck knows why but I think we will win today. 2-1, Henderson winner.

dongonzalos · Mar 12, 2016

We need this so badly

SlowerThanPlatt · Mar 12, 2016

1-1 draw I think. Late goal for them.

sw88 · Mar 12, 2016

2-1 win in prediction league but for a feeling of 2-2 draw with us taking a 2-0 lead and letting our heads drop.

Forever the optimist, eh

(Plus usually what I say never happens so I'm hoping what I've said re heads dropping doesn't happen !!)

Kingokings204 · Mar 12, 2016

Win today. I feel it. In shenanigans On the sea front having first beers of the day.

Just left the Castle for the walk to the ground

stupot07 · Mar 12, 2016

Interesting to see how they line up. The prerequisite change in midfield, Ricketts keeps his place despite playing poorly, will Maddison be out of position on the left wing? Or will Armstrong be shunted out wide with Maddison in the hole, or fortune out wide?
