but we now need around 42 points from 20 games

so that is something like 12 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats
give or take that will be automatic

so we need to start winning a few and get maybe 4 or 5 back to back wins - otherwise , may be a step too far

Not massively different to what we have been doing then. Just need to cut out some of the sloppy late goals we've conceded in some games, but given the defensive injuries we've picked up this season I think we can cut the team a bit of slack.

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Jan 13, 2016

I think this season is going right down to the wire, so we need to take as many points off our promotion rivals as possible. In my opinion this is a must win game.

A draw against Walsall doesn't sound bad on face value but the fact we threw it away in the last ten minutes needs to be put right on Saturday. 4 points from the two games is acceptable, but I don't think 2 is if we want automatic promotion.

RCC

Phillips-Ricketts-Ramage-Stokes

Fleck - Vincelot

JOB - Maddison - Lameiras

Armstrong

GaryJones · Jan 13, 2016

Dont feel too disheartened about drawing with Walsall - they were one of the best teams we have had at the Ricoh this season - beat Burton on Saturday and we will be smiling again.

People keep saying this. But we are one of the best teams in the division too!

Wyken Sky Blue · Jan 13, 2016

Think this is an easier game to win and I think we will. 3-1 Cov.

We are good enough for a top 2 place.

letsallsingtogether · Jan 13, 2016

We need to win all our home games so 2-0 City

Sick Boy · Jan 13, 2016

2.0 win; it makes me laugh that all of a sudden drawing with Walsall was a decent result.

higgs · Jan 13, 2016

1-1 draw anything else is a bonus

Not in my eyes needed to win that one and the Burton game now we will find it even harder.

Steve.B50 · Jan 13, 2016

Let's hope we play the whole game like we did the first half last night, on that form we will beat anyone in our league.
my view we will still go straight up and Walsall will go up with us.

Wait a minute

First you used to go on about posters who thought we already promoted(even though that's not true)

Then you scoff at those thay expect Burton and Walsall to drop off(still could happen)

But noe you are doing a 180 and laughing st those who happy with a point vs a good team.

So you don't like cov fans optimistic and you don't like cov fans who not positive enough

You just dint like cov city i think. Another moaner.

Tickets selling well for this one. 900 left online.

exhallskyblue · Jan 14, 2016

When is Armstrong's loan up? any news on an extension?

jimmyhillsfanclub · Jan 14, 2016

Originally due to expire 16th Jan......last we heard from TM, the loan was all set to be extended to end of season & just need "rubber stamping"....

skybluelee · Jan 14, 2016

Burton haven't played for two weeks. They will either be uber-refreshed and run around like spring chickens or will have lost their competitive edge due to lack of competitive matches.

Either way we'll win. 2-0.

All quiet. Expires after Saturday's game.

Well it was more important than losing to them. Especially when there is still twenty games left. The table positions in January mean nothing come May.

I think it was a decent enough result, even though they're not top they are the best side I've seen this season (and I've seen us play every game). I still think they will be top 2 in May.......

Best away record in the division. I know we've got a very good home record, but they're not up there for no reason.

Sky Blue Pete · Jan 14, 2016

Walsal lost 2 points in their last game as well as us

no_loyalty · Jan 14, 2016

Lets all hope Burton have an off day like they did on 17th October (4-0 defeat at Fleetwood)

Grendel · Jan 14, 2016

It's difficult to guess the team - given past history he tends to move personnel around when it's two games in a week.

If Stokes and Hunt are fit I'm guessing;

RCC

Phillips
Ricketts
Ramage
Stokes

Fleck
Vincelot

Fortune
Maddison
Hunt

Armstrong

covhead1 · Jan 14, 2016

Its got draw written all over it, another 1-1

We need some aggression and impetus, so I'd opt for Ruben instead of MAF.

I'd like to see Hunt start, to see what he can do in L1. He'll either be anonymous or explosive.

chiefdave · Jan 14, 2016

Stokes back in training today apparently. Hopefully he'll be ready for the game.

Sbarcher · Jan 14, 2016

Have we any idea of ticket sales for this one?

The Gentleman · Jan 14, 2016

Second game on the trot for me! looking forward to it and as long as the weather holds I reckon a 3-1 win and the Wheatsheaf gets defended to from another marauding mob too!

coop · Jan 14, 2016

Burton are expecting 1500 to turn up and are predicting a 1-0 backs to the wall win.They are going to play on the break game.Clough was there Tuesday and if was me I'd be attacking our full backs as they are very much exposed.But hopefully Murphy and Armstrong will be on there A game.

shmmeee · Jan 14, 2016

I think I'm over Walsall now, onwards and upwards.

I'd go for:

RCC
Ricketts Ramage Stokes Haynes
Vincelot Fleck
JOB Maddison Murphy
Armstrong

S: Burge, Phillips, Bigi, Hunt, Lameiras, Cole, Tudgay

I think we'll be too good for them. 3-1.

wingy · Jan 14, 2016

Sounds like Hunt's very much in the equation so assuming Cole was never starting this one its between Murphy or JOB to make way.

shmmeee · Jan 14, 2016

I think we need Murphy's pace, especially with no Kent. But then would Hunt's passing ability give us a similar dynamic to the JOB/Madders/Lamerias trio of early season? And does Murphs need a rest? Would Hunt give better protection to weaker fullbacks than Murphy?

Nice problems to have.

yeah all considerations,certainly protecting the full back.
Which side does that young Duffy play?
Left I think.
