Discuss the Coventry v Portsmouth match, tactics and predictions

 

---

[Nick]

Was wondering if the automatic thing would work

Can see us losing to a Carl baker screamer

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

2-0 Portsmouth

Lalkovic and Baker goals.

These two will have an absolute field day in the space behind our two full backs, another long game this will be.

Baker and Doyle will be well up for this you'd imagine. Barton will probably be concentrating on making sure his hair is just right.

At least we know Mowbray can't field a weakened team!

 

[robbiekeane]

3-0 city.

Sordell, Gadzhev, Jones.

Everyone to start moaning about off the field matters again anyway

 

[Nick]

Odds on applause for a Baker goal?

Why what's the rule? How many changes csn be made?

I am.on holiday next week so might go to thid one as only game.can get too for 3 weeks

 

[chiefdave]

I meant more because we don't have enough players to make a lot of changes!

 

[covcity4life]

Oh haha

Burge
Willis
Leahy
Harries
Dke
Haynes
Rose
Stevenson
Lameires
Spence
Tudgay

If he wants to make alot of changes I guess

 

[stevefloyd]

3-0 city.

Sordell, Gadzhev, Jones.

Love your optimism

 

[steve82]

Baker will score, if anyone's seen highlights from Portsmouths game yesterday he had a few shots from outside the box and was one of Portsmouths main threats. Keeper made a few good saves to restrict Portsmouth.
I'm normally quite positive and optimistic but I don't see a win here.
A tough few weeks ahead, and season if we don't get the reinforcement we require.

1/100

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

If he is going to play a weakened team then he should say so I can keep my money in my pocket I don't want to see Portsmouth beating our reserves. It is the second game of the season they can hardly be tired.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

1-1 & we will lose 3-1 on Pens

In front of 6,000 (1,000 travelling up from Pompey)

By weakened team do you mean our current first team?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

No I think he could even weaken that players like Burge and Finch could play.

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

*Shudders*

 

[valeskyblue]

Can only see Portsmouth winning this but going to support the lads. Roll on September

 

[sw88]

Those two changes along would make us weaker. A hell of a lot weaker

 

[sw88]

That said, I can see Burge playing. Also K Thomas replacing G Thomas, Ruben for Jones, other DKE may get a run out. Tudgay should play, maybe that's why he didn't appear yesterday? Not much we can do to the defence mind!

 

[ccfcway]

I predict a defeat with a Baker goal

Not bothered at all. Give the rest of the players a run out.

Is finch that bad? Can't remember ever seeing him play

 

[ccfcway]

We have to keep the current 1st team for league games.

Stick the other kids in the team v pompy

 

[Sky Blue Spud]

Can you pay on the gate. I do mean the turnstile as opposed to queuing for ages at the ticket office.
Thanks in advance.

 

[sw88]

We need to concentrate on the league (say it now rather than after the game )

 

[sw88]

On par with Connor Thomas is say! Surprised he's stuck around this long.

Sure he's a nice kid, just not a footballer

Think there was talk of paying on the day but having to go to the ticket office first rather than paying on the actual gate. Might be wrong though. Would be easier to manage if just had a pay on the gate turnstile for those who weren't fussed about where they sit.

Thanks SW, can't find anything on the offal and such lack of information to fans means that four ST holders probably wont be arsed to attend as we're not prepared to queue at the ticket office due to time constraints.

It would be madness if they stopped the pay on the gate. Just means people will have to queue twice, another reason to put people off going!

 

[johnwillomagic]

I think TM will resy his key players and accidentally stumble across close to out strongest xi on Tuesday.

Burge GK
DKE RWB
Haynes LWB
Harries CB
Ricketts CB
Willis CB
Rose DCM
Gadhzev DCM
Reid ATT
Lameiras ATT
Tudguy ST

2-0 win for City.

Sorry for being late to the party, is it full priced tickets for this match. As in £20 odd per adult?

Think it is £15, cant remember what I paid now!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Fair enough.

I'll probably be persuaded to go!
