Would love to be watching this one tonight lads but I’ve just paid £10 for some real football to watch the best pressing team in the league.

Tommo1993 · Dec 1, 2020

There it is, 2-1 Shipley first goal

4-2-3-1 with Giles starting on the right again I assume. Probably swap from time to time with Shipley.

Agreed. I’d probably sacrifice sheaf for this game to go 2 up tops. 532

That’s pretty drastic

cc84cov · Dec 1, 2020

No sheaf then,Giles,Shipley & O’Hare should cause them all sorts of problems tonight with their running

Sky Blue Pete · Dec 1, 2020

Dabo limp can’t have been too bad!!

Have to say I’m really surprised Ben Wilson is first choice but it’s only fair I suppose

After his performance against Naaaarwich, good to see Wilson being kept between the sticks. Otherwise 4-1-4-1 again. So expect Walker to be starved of service (again) until the subs are made

PVA · Dec 1, 2020

Decent lineup and solid bench.

I'm just glad that Robins hasn't thrown the towel in with his team selection again.

Philosoraptor · Dec 1, 2020

I think extra points are awarded tonight for the website which has the craziest Coventry opening formation based on the team sheet.

Basically you’re manager is far too negative, instead of seeing this game as easy 3 points like every other manager in the league, he’ll see it as, if we lose Derby are 3 points closer to us, we better not lose. this approach will then give the worst team in the league a fighting chance against you. You should be going out to batter them but instead you’ll be trying not to lose.

I’ll trust Robins’ judgement over some random Barnsley fan thanks

SleepyGinger · Dec 1, 2020

Just don’t think we’ve got the players in the squad to play this formation. MR a knows better than me though, looking forward to this one, come on city!

AFCCOVENTRY · Dec 1, 2020

This formation doesn’t bring the best in Dabo.

But let’s see. Giles pushed up again.

procdoc · Dec 1, 2020

I like that lineup a lot on paper. I hope O’Hare is playing in the 10 role

Nick · Dec 1, 2020

is wazza their manager now?

PVA · Dec 1, 2020

Pretty sure he will be, with Shipley on the left and Giles on the right.

Londonccfcfan · Dec 1, 2020

Think it's an attacking line up.

CanadianCCFC · Dec 1, 2020

Good team, maybe could’ve done with Biamou for Shipley but I think we’ve all learned to trust Robins lol

PVA · Dec 1, 2020

Nick said:

Interim.

He wants the job though.

John Terry is in the running too.

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Dec 1, 2020

Why is Shipley playing?

Hope he proves me wrong tonight.

I think his squad, player and game management have been excellent

I can see Shipley and O’Hare swapping positions throughout the game

Why ? He played really well Saturday and was a contender for mom

Deleted member 2477 · Dec 1, 2020

Happy with that side and plenty of options on the bench

Esoterica · Dec 1, 2020

The start of a massive 6 games. We've dropped so many points against the bottom 6 since MR has been back in charge but it has been improving every season.

L2: P12 W3 D3 L6 (6th)
L1: P12 W6 D2 L4 (8th)
L1: P11 W7 D3 L1 (Winners)
Championship: P1 L1

Total: P35 W16 D8 L11

We will only know if this is an attacking or defensive 4-2-3-1 when the players are out on the pitch. If the defence is deep and there's a massive gap between the DMs and AMs as a result, or if the fullbacks aren't getting forward much, then it'll be the same as the last 3 games - tight for an hour and then open up a bit. Should be more football played though through a front 4, and less crosses into an empty box than with wingbacks and a lone striker. Formation suits the players in it well.

Going for 2-2.

Neither should be anywhere near a managerial role

Nor your missus.

SeaSeeEffCee · Dec 1, 2020

Would have preferred to have seen two up top but I suppose you can't go too wrong with the formation that's kept us two clean sheets in two games.

It likely won't stay that way the whole game unless we squeak in front with it

Mouth. Firmly. Shut.

AFCCOVENTRY · Dec 1, 2020

What time will this be on the red button? 7.30?

AFCCOVENTRY · Dec 1, 2020

Derby have made 5 changes.
