Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec (24 Viewers)

Imagine as recent as 2 years ago calling 25k gate shit.

We have 21k season ticket holders. Probably 1k from Hull. 3k ticket sales on current form is still very good.

Didn't we have 12k season ticket holders two or three years ago ? I recall that was seen as pretty good back then. We've always had very unimpressed season ticket numbers until now. It's a bloody miracle we have 21k. Brilliant .

@Tommo1993 I can't quote your post for some reason but the last few seasons when we've had WBA in a midweek evening KO, a hotel has been uused close to the Hawthorns from a traffic point of view.



Team arrives at midday, has lunch, day-let beds for rest then pre-match meal before heading to the ground.

Staying at a hotel for home matches is unusual. Normally only larger, top end EPL teams do this, or teams with big budgets. I'd suggest we're doing it from a team bonding perspective. Good idea if you ask me.

As for the Xmas party suggestion, don't be silly!

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I'll build myself up for disappointment. 2-1, if we can take our chances and not make any stupid mistakes then I feel we'll win. PUSB

WE ARE MASSIVE

4-1, about time we put the ball in the net instead of rolling it to the opposition keeper

Players are staying together in a hotel tonight....

Wonder if this is cos of the early kickoff so we can control the morning.

Just seen Rudoni post on insta Norman at a hotel. Maybe a Christmas team party thing?

Rudoni would be better off removing himself from social media and start thinking about how he can be a better football player, currently over paid, unprofessional and no where near a replacement for COH.

Rudoni has done decent for us this year. If it not wrong on Finn Azaz has more goal involvement from the centre of the pitch?

Strongly disagree.

@shmmeee Never done it before for early KOs. Defo an FL thing coming in.

For the ones who don’t live local, could be a great idea to get them a bit more fit

 

[SkyblueTexan]

we have to be looking for 3 points tomorrow. need to start positively, and get at them.
4 big games coming up that will surely determine if we are looking up or looking down for the rest of the season.

I’m looking sideways

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Never use a Rich Tea

I'm now wondering if that's how Hob Nobs got their name?

 

[Chris1987]

Time to accept that our defence is shit and go all out attack. Kitching for Lati , Torp for Sheaf or Eccles , Simms for Norman

 

[David O'Day]

i'd go

Dovin
MVE
Thomas
Kitching
Bidwell
Torp
Eccles
Rudi
Saka
Simms
EMC

He was saying about changing the routine and getting them in the mindset earlier. I’d imagine for a 12:30 ko you’re looking at a fairly early start even if players are coming in so may as well have everyone together and get cracking straight away and ensure everyone gets a good nights sleep.

For a home game? Weird. I sleep better in my bed rather than in a hotel.

Assume this is on Lampards request due to the early kick off, doesn't want players travelling too early on the Saturday morning.

The actual reason is quite funny actually....


Was on the sleep coaches advice for 12.30 fixtures as, and i shit you not, a few of them are taking the piss being on PS5 Etc until the early hours........

 

[Para1140]

So KP45 returns to the CBS today. Whether he plays or not is another thing but what sort of reception will he get given he instigated the move away.
will it be the same as OHare or the embarrasing gush that Hamer go taking that corner ?

personally I would just ignore him

 

[EalingSB]

Flying in and out for this one. Land at Brum at 10.45, taxi to the ground, Mahou Lounge, quick family visit and fly back at 19.40. Got my 14yo with me and she’s never seen us win including Stoke and Swansea this season. Hopefully ends today!

That’s on the players then. They are youngsters I guess, but it’s a bit annoying to have to resort to a hotel for a home game so they can be “managed”! Just be responsible adults lads and get an early night before the game.

Should confiscate the PS5s and ground them.

 

[Jamesimus]

I think he might go same team for today. I don’t know though. I don’t know what the answer is anymore.

I couldn’t blame him for swapping Lati out for Kitching, but also looking for “defensive consistency” and keeping the same team?

Silly cow never heard of Nintendo Switch?
Hopefully we get another Mario Kart celebration today then if they aren't too knackered.

Bloody hell. Even Bellingham plays fifa until the early hours. We know they all do. You can’t control that aspect of their lives. A thing called self responsibility and desire.


What next? someone to wipe their arse properly?

Wasn’t this the rumoured reason simms didn’t play v Boro on the morning of game a up late playing bloody games.

I can't watch Lati wave a leg at an attacker walking past him again.

Exactly, what are they fucking about on PS5 for when they could be playing Tears of the Kingdom.

Honestly, if I was the sleep coach I’d get the lads in a room and make them play PS5 for 76 hours straight. Then they’d go straight into a double training session followed by a game in the under 21s. I think that might put them off.

Haha. I said he stayed up late watching Dragon Ball Z. I made it up using my imagination…

Like Homer Simpson being forced to eat donuts?

Also, good gaming taste you have, that game is a GOAT even if I cba to go back and finish it.

I used to have this running under 11s.
Other managers had the same problem and used to go online and get their players off them on a Saturday night.

I heard from couple of places that’s it’s been issue so perhaps perhaps it’s both

 

[CV22SBA]

Strongly disagree.

Look at the stats you prat. #1 successful passes. #1 goal assists
