Match thread - Coventry v Leicester (1 Viewer)

[jabharty]

The last match thread was amazing, so lets show our support again in this thread.
Clingan and McDonald are both ready for a spot in the side, and we will all be left wondering about what Harrison will do for this game.
So, match predictions?
I would say 2-1 to Leicester, but I'm hoping that someone will be optimistic here xD

Harrison out!

(Just getting in there early).

 

[ccfcdan]

My first away game this season. Hoping for a scrappy 1-0 win. He scored a goal Clive Platt, He scored a goal!

I think we'll nick this one. A goal in the 74th minute by Alex Nimely. 1-0

 

[SkyBlueMania]

Either the lads are boosted by a 'derby' mentality and play like we do at home or they simply continue as normal and take a beating away from home. Wrong end of a hammering I fear, maybe 3-0.

I'm very unhappy at the way we are playng so far.

All too slow and predictable. Not even a single shot on goal yet. :facepalm:

 

[jabharty]

Well, the odds are against us, but we have to include the victory v Barnsley in the picture. Could that lift us, and maybe bring us round to win our first game away from home this season?
At most I could predict a draw, but a loss kinda looks inevitable.

4-0 Fester :facepalm:
