Leicester defenders will be pissing themselves if Its Godden and no Simms.

Godden could have had a hattrick against them on the opening day.

4 tickets remaining!
Think we'll lose 2-1........I'm praying that I'm proven wrong
Think atmosphere will be amazing, hope kitching does start and Palmer to start on the left with simms up top. Palmer has 60mins in him most as his work rate will have to be on the money tomorrow as well as his discipline to switch on and not make daft holywood passes. Godden to come on for him on the hour mark

Worked against Leeds. Would we have got the point playing 4-3-3? Who knows.

We got lucky at Leeds. They missed some golden chances

 

[mark_ccfc]

Close match, 1-1 at 90 mins, Simms to score a screamer at 90+2. City hang on for 2-1.

You're never going to go and restrict them to nothing so I think "got lucky" is a bit of an over statement, I can only remember one clear cut chance they missed.

I do remember standing in the crowd thinking that they were going to score a winner in the last 20 minutes but maybe my memory of the number of chances they had is blurred ( probably an age thing )

Yep and we missed a couple. That Haji and O'Hare chance was a mess from both of them. Palmer had a good one too.

I think during the game there will be more comments about the referee than the game on this thread. Hope we don't play for the draw!

Robins has suggested we won't in his interview

To any Leicester lurkers:

Safe travels.
Whether by car, coach, or riding on a family member's back like a horse, I do sincerely wish you all safe travels and a pleasant trip. And, without contradiction to politeness, wish you all a speedy and safe trip back out of town lest your 6 finger hands scare the children. Best wishes, to your and yours.

With Wright out, play a midfield 3 of Eccles/Sheaf/Latibeaudiere and play O’Hare off the left. Would give me far more comfort than Palmer tracking (or not) James Justin.

If Palmer played on the left and was tracking Justin i'd be more worried as Justin will play Left Back today Ricardo is the right back and he doesn't attack like a normal right back. He'll invert and play in Defensive CM when they have the vall

Ah, we’ll see. Looks like Ricardo was LB and Justin RB in their last league game.

If his role is to track the inverting full back I can maybe cope with that, and that might free up the middle for O’Hare to play in there, but if he ends up the other side we might be in a spot of bother.

The times I have seen them on TV it's been Ricardo at RB and The LB is basically a 3rd CB when they have the ball

They are in a 4-1-2-3 without the ball and 3-2-2-3 with the ball, it's all about extra men and overloads in the middle form them.

Torp trained Wednesday, Thursday , Friday think he’ll be on the bench.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

What’s the likely starting line up then?

It'll be the 11 players that kick off the match, but that's not important right now

Could do with 12 including the ref

 

[Tommo1993]

Just another game. No bigger than the others.

 

[procdoc]

Would happily take a point today but think they’ll have too much for us . 1-3

feeling ok about the game

 

[coop]

Be a great game as long as we score first I think stopping them scoring early will be key.Win lose or draw let's send them home with our atmosphere ringing in there ears.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Well it’s the time of the ex Everton youth strikers today. Simms v Cannon

 

[Nuskyblue]

Me too weirdly, hopefully it's not misplaced!

 

[David O'Day]

similar feeling to when we put 4 past Fulham

sadly also similar to a lot of times we have fucked it hard

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

It’s not a game that is going define our season. Scum are expected to win. So just enjoy the day and the players should relish the derby. As long as we put in 100%.

 

[stupot07]

They have won 21 out of 26 games, today is the first time I actually agree with this term but it's a "Free Hit".

Had a weird feeling Allen was going to be put on the left wing in place of Wright, but probably not now sounds like Godden is playing.

Need to see if Robins will start both Godden and Simms.

Exactly the same thoughts - the one thing we don't want is an early goal for them, flattening the home atmosphere.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We arent going to lose Tatsu is on fire and he will ruin them

 

[Jamesimus]

feeling ok about the game

Same, not too bothered about the result as long as the lads give a decent account of themselves. Obviously I’d love us to win, but that is always the case! They are a good team but all of the pressure will be on them, not us.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[Saddlebrains]

Palmer starting on the left

Simms on Bench

 

[Marty]

I think Torp will be on the bench today, if we're winning comfortably or getting hammered, we can get him on and get some minutes into his legs, probably treat him like an injury return until he's fully upto speed.
