Matchday #43; City vs Scunny; 22.4.2011; Ricoh Arena, Kick off @ 3pm (1 Viewer)

[The CableGuy]

City face the only team who pose any kind of relegation threat to them - Scunny, 12 points behind the Sky Blues and over 30 goals worse off. With Preston and Sheff Utd unable to catch the City with 4 games of the season remaining, a point or more for Andy Thorn's team would mathematically guarantee Championship football for another season.

Scunny grabbed a vital victory at Palace in their bid to avoid relegation, but they will surely face a sterner test at the Arena against a City team whose recent form from the last 6 games reads as: Won 3, Drawn 2, Lost 1. By comparison, Scunny have won only 2 of their last 6, including a stunning 4-1 whipping of league leaders QPR. Today's victory at Palace was their 1st away win since late December.

The Sky Blues will be looking to put this relegation-threat nonsense to bed and to push on towards a respectable mid-table finish, despite all the off-the-pitch turmoil which Hollywood could base a feature film on.

Nope - lets be really positive 4 - 1

On Friday, Good Friday, City play host to Scunthorpe in what will be the first Good Friday afternoon home game since the club joined the Football League in 1919.

Coventry firms still work on Good Friday and fans working for these are likely to miss the game and the decision to play on Friday will have upset many people of a religious persuasion.

4-0 Keogh (he's got to get one before end of season) King hat-trick
Were safe but I'd love to go undefeated for the last games

 

[Nick]

I think Keogh is due one as he has been close a few times.

I noticed that even Josh Ruffles was better odds against Millwall and he wasn't even on the bench!

 

[CovScott88]

Im going for 3-1 City. Goals coming from King, Clingan and Jutkiewicz.

5-0 come on lads it's about time we really battered someone. We never seem to keep going to the end when we're up and this could be the day

Must agree with you Rob, we are overdue to really hammer someone this season.. This seems as good a time as any.

 

[Coventry La La La]

5-0? I can't see them being a walk in the park when their going to come out fighting for their championship status.

 

[SkyBluesAndy]

Would love to thump them as it looks like this is my last game this season but they will be no easy ride. 2.1 sky blues

 

[Hcut PUSB]

I go for the big scorline theory, 6-1, King 3 Juke 2, Clingan 1 from a stroming free kick. ( who cares who gets the consolation goal).

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

3-0! Its the week of the Juke, backed Keogh last game and still think he is due one if he goes forward for corners. Gonna have another punt this week.

Take a good result into Monday's tricky tie with the 'brough.

 

[smileycov]

4 - 1 king 2 juke and baker

 

[6 Generations]

Would love any sort of victory, but we must beware of a resurgent Scunthorpe under an extremely talented coach in Alan Knill.

I predict a hard fought 2-2. But i sincerely hope that we win.

[flammablepiss]

I think a good 2 or 3 nil win !.... lets say 3, just to keep this positive vibe going !

 

[Nick]

Let a sloppy goal in! I think Baker needs to come off!

 

[ccfc luke]

I was quite dissapointed by todays performace, i know the game didnt mean anything but i thought we would give more effort than we did for AT especially. A very lack lustre performance in my book.

Once again - coverage of the City game on BBC started with the opposition coach unloading the players.

I've got used to it now, we get the same shit served to us via the BBC every week. The football league show is a joke run by Leicester clown's
