You're 'thick as mince.'Sounds like you’re just ‘chatting whiff’
It's strange that the match thread descended into such deranged hysteria two days before kick off.
Are Rotheram still all large mutants? I'm hoping with us being at home we can get a win out of this one.
True, usually happens just after the team sheet comes out.It's strange that the match thread descended into such deranged hysteria two days before kick off.

“FFS Robbins”‘I think we should play 5-3-2’
‘Clueless, you think we should win 5-0 against everyone’
‘I think we should play 4-5-1’
‘Let me jump off a cliff rather than pay for that’
FWIW I think this will be a tough one and I don’t expect to see us playing free-flowing, attacking football with wingback pushing up from the start and 2 up top.
Although I’d quite like to see 2 up top to see if we can keep the ball up there a bit longer, have someone attacking any crosses we get and improve our goals for column a bit. Happy enough if start out cautiously, but then make some significant changes (as long as the game allows it).
Want Sheaf back too.
If he's fit McCallum at left wing back. I think the game up at Rotherham exposed Mason badly.
Wilson
Dabo
Ostigard
McFadzean
Hyam
McCallum
Kelly
Sheaf
Hamer
Bakayoko
Walker
Sheaf is good in the air, so useful from defensive and offensive set pieces
Kastaneer was the worst player on the pitch with a completely abject performancethat game was the beginning of the end for Mason, though he wasn't the only one who was very poor that day.
What we need is the EFL to let us play 13 or 14 players. Then we can be tight at the back, not get overrun in midfield and have 2 men up front. Why has Robins not got this sorted yet?‘I think we should play 5-3-2’

Kelly and McFadz for that third goal reallyMcFadzean was a close second if I recall correctly. Beaten easily for the first goal, forced Marosi to concede a pen due to a baffling pass in the 6 yard box and conceded the pen for their third due a complete lapse of concentration that led to his sending off.
But as Clint has rightly said there was more than one calamity that day. I certainly wouldn't have liked to be a Coventry player in the dressing room after the game.

True, although we’ve looked less like conceding this season with some variant of 4 at the back, which does negate Dabo’s main attributes somewhat. Maybe we’ll play a game of 2 halves and utilise the 5 subs, or maybe a lot will depend on who’s fit and available. Robins doesn’t seem to be using the 3 centre back option so much recently, would a team that tonked us last season be a good time to revert to a system that was leaking goals (albeit scoring them as well)?We played 4-3-3 in the heavy defeat up there last season. I'd expect 3 centre backs to play tbh. In the home game we got on top of them with wing backs, Dabo crossed for Godden's goal as it happens.

If we can’t go out and compete against a team we finished ahead of last season we may as well give up now.
Is one way of looking at it, another is a team that beat us convincingly once and we scraped a draw off the other time will take confidence from those results. CBA to trawl their forum, but I’d bet good money their fans are viewing this as a game they should go for it in.If we can’t go out and compete against a team we finished ahead of last season we may as well give up now.

Great, so now we need a degree in geology to work out the formation. Wonder if he actually said / meant that word or if he meant (as I read it at first) uncomfortable?INTERVIEW: Mark Robins Rotherham United Preview
The Sky Blues entertain Rotherham United this weekend, the first time the two sides will have met since February earlier this year.www.ccfc.co.uk
“They are tough side to beat and they have a way of playing which makes it unconformable for every opponent.” Robins said.
unconformable
adjective GEOLOGY
(of rock strata in contact) marking a discontinuity in the geological record, and typically not having the same direction of stratification.
Tactics these days are a bit beyond me...

I’d love to see a return to 3 CD’s, wingbacks and 2 up top, just not sure Robins will agree. Glad I’m not picking the team tbf.
I agree. I’m imagining the reaction if we set up to go at them and lose. Would like to see us go for it myself.If we want to aim for a draw in every game we’re in the wrong business.
If we can’t go out and compete against a team we finished ahead of last season we may as well give up now.
We will lose more games this season whether we set up for the draw or the win. Against the better sides sure try and hold a point but against teams around us we need more ambition.I agree. I’m imagining the reaction if we set up to go at them and lose. Would like to see us go for it myself.
Judging by how we’ve set up against teams around us I don’t see it being any different tomorrow I do fear for us against Rotherham tomorrow who are big strong 352 and press hard and highWe will lose more games this season whether we set up for the draw or the win. Against the better sides sure try and hold a point but against teams around us we need more ambition.
