[Sky Blue Harry H]

Lets be honest Sakamoto has looked awful so far this season and Bassette has zero experience

Sakomoto when he came on against Leeds looked after the ball better than most. I think he just needs game time, and he'll get back to his best.

[PVA]

- Sakamoto hugs the touchline too much, he's never played centrally for us

He played there twice last season.

Once at Swansea away where I thought he did pretty well. And at home to WBA, can't remember how he played that day tbh.

 

[TomRad85]

WE all know that Lati will be shoehorned into the side somehow

Somehow i'd almost erased Lati completely from my brain as a possibility, i think as a coping mechanism. Robins seems to have the opposite problem.

 

[skybluecam]

I'd consider going back to 'The Box' but there are issues:
- Simms can't start because he doesn't press enough
- Sakamoto hugs the touchline too much, he's never played centrally for us
- Wright has looked poor as a central striker
- Rudoni's workrate is needed behind the striker, but he could also break from the double pivot like Hamer used too

So would it be BTA and EMC behind Wright? Rudoni and Wright behind Bassette?

If you want pure workrate it would be BTA and Rudoni behind Bassette.
For goal threat it's probably EMC and Wright behind Simms.

But do any of them actually work?

Saka played there early on last season tbf

 

[Bugsy]

If there was a time to sing this song, it's tonight...PUSB

 

[AOM]

0-0 all over it

 

[Kingokings204]

0-0 all over it

we’ve had 1 clean sheet in the last 200 games.

Just doesn't work with the personnel we've got now. Allen and Rudoni might have worked at the top of the box but the former is injured. It still leaves no options beyond that really though.

 

[AOM]

I'm sticking by it Not even sure if a draw would be a good result or not...

Probably would take it as long as we win Saturday

 

[procdoc]

I have a really bad feeling about this one. Which hopefully means we will win. When I’m confident we always lose so maybe it’ll be the opposite tonight

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Dovin
MVE
Thomas
Binks
Bidwell
Sheaf
Eccles
Rudoni
Sakamoto
Simms
Wright

Thats the best side on paper so its shit or bust.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

He’s been considerably better than Bidwell. I think the love in for Bidwell is because more people dislike Dasilva so what do we do now?

Bidwell hasn't had a great start to the season but I feel much more comfortable with him in the team over Dasilva, who is too susceptible to getting beat by a simple long ball over his head, and who also leaves the team weaker physically at a time when the team as a whole doesn't have an abundance of strength in it. Ideally we'd have signed McCallum in the Summer but unfortunately that ship has sailed.

 

[Nick]

He's been at fault for a couple of goals being out of position and is often targeted.

 

[Nick]

i would like to see Bassette up front with a partner

Also we see a better MVE with Tatsu

Probably more chance of his Mrs starting up front with him

 

[Nick]

Is it going to be a mcfadz love in tonight?

3-0 down but singing his name followed by woke up this morning feeling fine

 

[Pusb1]

is the game on sky tonight? travelling with work so not able to make KO

Can’t we just ignore both of them?

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Think it's on the red button Sky option

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Unless diving was Ill youve got to assume wilson will play again
Think saka and wright have to start
The rest of the team pretty much picks itself

 

[Nuskyblue]

I can't go, hopefully not a blessing in disguise!

Time for a change I think.

3-4-3

Get all our best players on the pitch and play on the front foot, got to win or the season is gone you have to think (top 6).

 

[David O'Day]

it;s one of the skysports+ games

 

[Nuskyblue]

He played there twice last season.

Once at Swansea away where I thought he did pretty well. And at home to WBA, can't remember how he played that day tbh.

He has the technical ability to do it. I'd still prefer him drifting from out to in personally.

 

[Kingokings204]

Where has saddle gone? I thought he was going to tell us robins has lost it and Dovin is up as a lone striker

 

[Sick Boy]

1-0 thanks to a Wright penalty.

 

[Jamesimus]

1-0 thanks to a Wright penalty.

What I would give for a horrible scrappy 1-0 boring game where we win via a lucky penalty and neither side have any good chances…

 

[mark82]

1-0 thanks to a Wright penalty.

Snap your hand off for that right now.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I reckon we will lose 1-0 in the 90th minute with Matt Smith fully reverting to his CC84 persona, shitting himself all over the forum and saying we will be bottom by Christmas

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

If we lose in the 90th minute I hope to dear God that Samaritans have extra staff on tonight.

 

[Matt smith]

I mean if we lost tonight we’d basically be bottom of the division, so much for the importance of a fast start.

Well, we wouldn’t necessarily. If Cardiff win they’d still be below us.

If Preston and Portsmouth both lose, they would also remain below us.

Glass half full!

[Jamesimus]

I actually wouldn’t be too fussed about the McFadz love-in. Feel like he earned it while here.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

What’s the weather like in Cov tonight?

 

[skybluegod]

I think we'll win tonight. Just have a feeling.

Not able to get to the midweek games living up north, but hopefully start a run going into another home game at the weekend.

 

[Johhny Blue]

we’ve had 1 clean sheet in the last 200 games.
