Match Thread Coventry City - Tottenham Hotspur [LC] Match Thread - Wednesday 18th Sep (9 Viewers)

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Do Spurs have the most aggressive press in Europe? And is it still the most aggressive press if they change most of their team? We really don't do well against high tempo press high up the pitch, so should be interesting.

In Europe ? Is that why they've had such a great start to their season. There manager is under pressure already

I feel like had my pants pulled down for £53 for me and the daughter hearing the team news

poor form all round from king and robins charging that for 2 reserve teams

What's the team news?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would like that to reflect the price then

show me where I’ve moaned today

Don’t go then you complete and utter pellet.

the shite you put on here is completely ruining this forum.

Think they will play a strong side as its a chance of them winning a trophy as there never getting in the top four this season.I would play Bassette with BTA up top.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

not one person when the draw was made said let’s play Allen, Tavares etc…

the hypocrisy on here is astounding

Think you’ll find I wanted us to bow out honourably and Swansea was much more important.

 

[Nick]

The likelihood is we will lose and the odds are stacked against us .. that's not negative that's the reality of the game tonight .

Being positive is hoping we can get a result , even our percieved second string is quite strong on paper so it's not like we will be playing u21 players .

The point about playing full strength twice in 4 days is a pretty valid one

We often play twice in 4 days though.

If he puts a second string out, will be disappointing.

They are going to want a chance of silverware so will want to get the game won as soon as they can. We can't put a reserve side out and give them a head start.

Got a feeling we’re going to get absolutely whalloped tonight. Would take a plucky one goal loss.

Think it depends on how we lose. If robins basically throws the game like he has done in the past in this cup after charging so much for tickets. It will be a piss take.

 

[torchomatic]

I see the good luck message from Coventry City Council on Twitter has gone down as well as expected.

 

[fatso]

It was the 97th minute

Now me, I'm always more confident against the big teams. Not saying we'll win but I never expect us to get thrashed.

Don't want it to go to penalties as, obviously, we're not very good at them.

 

[HadjiChippo]

James Maddison, Calum Davenport, Robbie Keane

Johnnie Jackson, Tim Sherwood

Johnnie Jackson and Sherwood

Add Steve Sedgly. Sub at FA cup final then moved onto Spurs

 

[wingy]

The young lad who was in the cup squad in the 80's Tony Sheridon or the like, the bloke who played left back Irish!

I thought very similar before we played Man U.

 

[Tommo1993]

Didn’t Dimitar Berbatov play for both?

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

I always thought Steve sedgley had absolutely no idea what to do with a football.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Speculation about the line up again like before Saturday. The usual inference that it's set up to lose by the usual people. It's tedious lads.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Genuinely the most boring take

Get used to it because Robins even said tonight is a free hit.

I remember the song from back in the day. Football didn’t start until ‘92 these days though.

Villa seem to be OK with Premiership 5.30 Saturday kick offs and Tuesday away in Switzerland in the champions league with virtually the same team. Surely the team do less physical training to account for 3 games a week

 

[Jamesimus]

I only trust team news from @Saddlebrains

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Predicted line up from Evening Standard in london


Vicario
Spence Dragusin VDV Davies
Bentancur Sarr Bergvall
Werner Solanke Odobert

Not heard of any of them.

That’s not what free hit means?

A game against a top premier league side will always be a free hit because you can’t expect anything from it. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t play our strongest side.

 

[napolimp]

Not heard of any of them.

Well Bentacur recently got charged by the FA for racial abuse. Classy.

(I have actually heard of basically all of them, was just doing what Spurs fans will do when they look at our team sheet)

 

[Tommo1993]

Only thing I’ll be disappointed with is an absolute thumping.

Far bigger fish to fry on Saturday.

Going off what robins said they do

 

[Great_Expectations]

Not been on SBT all day, so no idea of any rumoured line ups (either side), injuries, ticket sales or other moans.

But it’s been a long day and despite the fact I know we’re likely going to lose, I’m now pretty bloody excited.

Just want to see us give a good account of ourselves and give them a game.

Tatsu is back
