Playing 3 90 minutes games and training in between would need a lot of breathing

Yes, I'm capable of breathing yet still not at the fitness level of a team in the second tier of English football.

Sweepstake on what time the Robins out threads will start tonight?

In all seriousness as with all games this season, I think we have a chance if we play with confidence and play our football. Unfortunately that if is getting bigger and bigger. The players have been disappointing and frustrating in equal measure so far; consistently showing too much respect to the opposition. The times we haven’t and we’ve played our game, we’ve looked more than capable.

I don’t think we need to ring the changes tonight, other than Ostigard for Rose and Dabo if he’s fit. Hamer is obviously a talent, but not sure MR will drop Sheaf.

Optimistic, 2-1.

2-0 Middlesbrough, Chris Rea to head in the first.

It would. Do you know what his issue was and what the recommended rehabilitation strategy is? Cos I don’t. What I do know is that generally we’ve used the U23s for fitness and kids and not as a bomb squad.

We know Hilßner has missed most of pre season, had to recover from a breathing issue, and is having trouble settling. And you want to write him off cos he’s not in the squad after three U23 games, the most recent of which was the day before a first team game.

Missed pre season ?
He played majority of the games

Hamer back in the squad tonight

Jamesimus · Oct 27, 2020

2-1 to us. Godden pen, Hamer to make up for the other week. They get a goal to make up for having the worst accent you could ever hear.

With the short close season, he had no time on the beach.

Nah that was shit.

ccfcmad1 · Oct 27, 2020

Take any sort of win tonight even if a poor performance desperate need of three points, 1-0 city boro og

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 27, 2020

Rose to score.
Hamer sent off before the game starts.
Kasta sent off for starting a fight with the wooden bench.
Kelly to get a shot on target and score the winner.
2-1 to us.

Brighton Sky Blue · Oct 27, 2020

If they high press, 2 or 3-0. If they don't, 1-1

I’m going for a 3v0 defeat unfortunately

It might happen, but I'd be bl**dy disappointed in that - I want us to make at least a fist of it, even should we get turned over. I will press the mental reset button regardless of what happens, but really want to rebuild confidence after Saturday, and before we face Reading on Friday night.

Tommo1993 · Oct 27, 2020

Marosi 4/1

Do you know that Dire Straits and Chris Rea are forming a new band?

They're calling it 'Chris Straits'

Esoterica · Oct 27, 2020

Heart is saying city win with much improved set pieces again, head is saying Middlesboro will be a big, strong, typical Warnock side and bully us off the park.

His issue was discovered just after the Peterborough pre season game, it had been effecting his ability to get up to fitness up until that point. In this article

Coventry midfielder Hilssner suffering with 'lung problem'

The German midfielder may have a form of asthma, Mark Robins says.

www.coventrytelegraph.net

Robins says he has been a yard behind all preseason and hopes he can push on and build fitness. So at the end of August he clearly wasn’t at the fitness levels required and hadn’t been since he joined the club.

The fact you’re now nitpicking I’ll take as acceptance of my overall argument that it’s too soon to judge him and you don’t know what his fitness plan is.

Jesus the lengths some people will go to to slate a CCFC player.

Jamesimus · Oct 27, 2020

I can't remember what game it was, but was a Warnock managed side, playing us at the Ricoh and he kept on wandering onto the pitch while the ball was in play to chat to one of his players. Always hated him after that.

Mcbean · Oct 27, 2020

Neil Warnock - if rearranged - Colin Wanker

You’ll have plenty of the ball, it’s all about if you have the quality to make it pay. I’ve gone score draw.

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 27, 2020

Happily take a point, but what I really want to see is more attacking desire in the final third. I’m hoping that comes with Hamer able to create.

Liquid Gold · Oct 27, 2020

Dreading this but that normally means we play well.

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 27, 2020

Apparently Dabo hasn’t travelled? If so then I worry about the defence. Even with Sam on the right it’s really unbalanced and he keeps getting caught as he naturally cuts in.

Tommo1993 · Oct 27, 2020

I might have put Middlesbrough on the old accumulator.

You can all thank me later.

Hmmm does Robins play stubborn and leave Hamer on the bench or decide a win is more important and play him probably at the expense of Allen...Is Walker out of isolation yet?

Johnnythespider · Oct 27, 2020

I'm finding it hard to see where the next win is coming from, i know it will happen but i would take a solid 0-0 to stop us shipping goals that come from our own mistakes. If we can do that then we can start nicking the odd 1-0 win. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for 3 points.
