Match Thread Coventry City v Oxford United - FA CUP 3RD ROUND - 6th January 12:30 (8 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

Fair enough, but the fans have turned up in good numbers to watch us exit the League Cup in the first round most seasons. Not least at Burton last year.

Not sure that's at all relevant given he was talking specifically about the FA cup

strongest 11, good win breed more confidence and then hope for a home tie against a struggling prem team

Someone like Sheffield Utd, omg the frenzy on here with return of the Gus

I think Robins will field a fairly strong team. I’m sure memories of Wrexham will still be there and Oxford are a decent team currently in the division one play-off positions.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Wilson
Lats Fadz Binks Dasilva
Kelly Ayari Sheaf
Tavares Simms Palmer

S: Collins, MvE, Thomas, Eccles, Allen, Sakamoto, O’Hare, Wright, Godden

I think that's not a bad shout but with Ayari now gone I would replace him with Allen. We have good players on the bench to bring on if we need to because Robins won't want a replay.

My only other thought is that, with Tatsu in his current form, he could probably beat them on his own so how about:

Wilson

Tatsu Tavares

With that strong lineup we don't really need Tavares but he needs a game to help him get match fit and Robins will want to have a look at him in a competitive fixture.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Players like Tatsu mere presence on the pitch occupy two even three opposition players I would play him.

I think we'll play a pretty strong team tomorrow

Oxford?

To be fair to him he's right, the gate at home to Wrexham last year was significantly down on the league average. Same this year. If the FA cup is magical to people surely they'd turn up with tickets half price.

It was only 2K down on league average and bigger than some league gates. Helped by a big away following of course.

All clubs outside of a select few get reduced gates when playing lower league opposition in the early FA cup rounds. Lots of Championship clubs today at home will get very low gates. If we're looking at 15K+ today that's very healthy. Not sure why it's almost being used as an excuse for not taking it seriously.

For cup games, you start from a base of 0. For league games we only sell around 4K tickets per match above ST holders. All those ST holders that don't turn up but are still counted won't be counted at all today. There will be more there today than the Stoke cup game, for a 12.30 game against a L1 team. Decent that.

Play a strong team, get the job done and take some off early. We want a cup run

Return of Gus?
He's never away from the place!

 

[Evo1883]

Got a feeling we will play a relatively strong team today

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Tavares is starting by the looks of it

That should put 2 or 3k on the gate

I wouldn't be surprised although the Middlesbrough picture had Godden and Palmer on so it's not always a good indicator.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Did I read somewhere that international fans can watch this somewhere? Any info gladly appreciated

If it’s at the expense of Simms it’ll be a joke.

There’s a list of channels showing it abroad on the club’s website. I don’t think it’s accurate though.

It’s definitely not on Dazn in Italy.

 

[larry_david]

It's on bet365 for those gamblers amongst us

 

[Tommo1993]

Will wait to see who we’re putting out and maybe lump some £ on Oxford.

 

[Nick]

Woke up not feeling it so we best compete

Do I have to set up an account or something to watch it on bet365?

He will be a wide forward I assume. I know u like to poke fun at the kid but I'm interested to see how he does in this formation. Could be a bonus option for us

Well it kind of is given that would also offer the chance of a cup run.

 

[Covstar]

He will be a side forward I assume. I know u like to poke fun at the kid but I'm interested to see how he does in this formation. Could be a bonus option for is

Exactly this. Might be a good chance to see Simms out wide similarly to Wright and see how he fares especially if we are looking at Langstaff coming in up front. Might turn out to be a good option some days to rest saka and play him there if he performs. He does well running the channels from what I've seen so not a bad option to pursue.

 

[Chris1987]

The game is on the following channels
Australia Paramount+ , Sportsnet+
Indonesia beIN Sports Connect
Thailand beIN Sports Connect
USA ESPN+

Yes and place a bet on the game

 

[Greggs]

Been off the beers for a few days. Is 9am too early to go rogue?

 

[larry_david]

Yeah but usually just deposit money and it plays. I was watching a bit of spurs on it last night. There's no commentary and the picture can be small depend how you watch it but that's what I'll be doing

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Think the 2 figure is more accurate (his mum and dad ?)

 

[Skybluedownunder]

For some reason I can never view pics on here. [mention]Nick [/mention]would you happen to know why or what settings I need to adjust to view pictures?

Come on anybody wavering. Get up there and support the lads. As a bonus, if you can find me in the ground, approach me with the phrase 'Is it you I'm looking for?' and you'll ge ta beer (or a black eye if it's not, probably) Offer doesn't extend to @rob9872 or @Hutch11 who have an unfair advantage!!

Does this offer apply if we see you in the chip shop or supermarket?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

That's pretty good for a half twelve kickoff where we might play our reserves, tbf
