Referee tomorrow is taking charge of his first ever championship game. He refereed us when we lost 2-0 to Yeovil in League 2.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I predicted 2 goals for Simms in blackburn match thread. Would have been 2 if. BTA didnt get final touch.

2 nil city...Simms to get 2 this time.

Finally getting a proper run in the team paying dividends.

Backing him to get 15 plus goals this season.

 

[Ashdown]

A pretty drab 1-0 victory for the points wouldn’t be a disaster today. A week closer surely to getting our star men back in the fold.

Normally means the tackles will be harder. Torp can work his new magic.

i was a referee (not at this level) and what I thought as ‘letting the game flow’ was more ‘scared to make a decision’

He is due a hatrick.

It’s hard to confident with

(a) It being us
and (b) our most exciting players out injured

But they’ve ground out some excellent results over the past few weeks, so I’m sticking my neck out and going for a 1-0 win.

 

[CovLad94]

Think another win today, depends if they have their two donkeys at the back. Still can't forget Watford last season trying to play out from the back, was hilarious.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Enjoining the fact today’s game means something again, even if that play off spot is still unlikely.

I’s nice to have something positive to play for and adds a level of excitement to today.

We’ve shown periods of good play over the last two games especially, let’s hope we can do that again today or ideally across the full 90.

Confidence will be growing in the camp, as will momentum, and the outside chance play offs are on. All those factors should contribute to a motivated team today.

2-0, Simms, Rudoni.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

2-0 Cov. Simms and Torp

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

3-1 today. BTA, Simms, Rudoni

I wouldn’t say a play off spot is unlikely. This is a funny league and if we can maintain a run anything is possible.

Does anyone know if you can change your season ticket location on matchday?

my cousin can’t make it today, so taking my 8 year with his ticket. We’re in safe standing in block 11 so would rather avoid trying to get him to stand on stuff to see the game!

 

[The watchmaker]

6/7 points off is nothing at this stage and it is hard to make a good case for more than 2/3 of the teams above us staying there.

I'm aware that I am massively overconfident about today's game. It just feels like a win.

Edit: 2/3 of those 5th down!!

 

[covcity4life]

Worth remembering we got a draw at Sunderland with MR having just been sacked, Collins in goal and Lati in midfield. Got to be on it

Yeah you have been so positive since that game...

Yeah it’s gonna be a loss cos everyone is so confident. But it’s not beyond the realms of possibility we win the next two and things look very different, still with a couple of days for a signing too

 

[curly_tom]

It's amazing to read how people feel about everything after a couple of league wins. It takes so little to change the outlook. If we lose today there'll be loads of doom and gloom again. I am as guilty as anyone though. I think we are on the up and have started looking at who the teams above us are playing and whether we can overtake them. Watford aren't that great really so we have a chance. Maybe a draw is a realistic prediction. 2-2

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yeah you have been so positive since that game...

Grow up.

Every post is a dig at someone, even by the bitching standards of this forum he's taking himself to another level.

That would do, just about points on the board for me at the moment.
Though the game down there was pretty enjoyable.

 

[Gint11]

Based on form we should get something from this game but it’s City we’re talking about

For someone who’s supposedly level headed and zen it’s pretty pathetic his point scoring

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Excited to go today. Feel there’s a good chance we can continue to build. Will need to start positively though.

I know all the talk about signings but with the players coming in and the ones coming back I feel we’ll be in a strong position if we can keep up the consistency.

 

[JSL]

Just keep a clean sheet and then guaranteed at least a draw. Sounds simple but it seems difficult to execute although finally getting better at it

Three clean sheets on the bounce would be a huge achievement based on where we were earlier in the season

 

[shmmeee]

Genuinely surprised BTA has played more than any other striker this season. Didn’t expect that at all.

 

[Saddlebrains]

1 change today, Thomas for Binks

 

[clint van damme]

1 change today

Collins for Dovin

 

[Chris1987]

Collins for Dovin

Revert to a back 4 , start JDS and we're sorted.

You jest, but Dasilva for Bidwell is on my list of potential changes!

 

[quinn1971]

1 change today, Thomas for Binks

difference having confidence in your keeper is having, sensible change bringing Thomas in, win today and that’s some turn around

 

[Hobo]

The form book suggests a home win, but this is the Championship where the form book means nothing.

Exhibit A: Sheffield Utd 0 v 3 Hull

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

I think only making one change would be very silly. It’s been a long week we should freshen things up.

You have people accusing others of being child rape apologists but it's me you have issue with lol just think about that Clint.

People need to take the humble pie and move on. Can't have expected no repercussions for ppl mouthing off at me and being proven wrong?

 

[covcity4life]

Any coincidence it's the -7 score who says this? Lampard is a disaster appointment

For someone who’s supposedly level headed and zen it’s pretty pathetic his point scoring
