I have to agree with LJ on this occasion our squad is more than competitve at this level a lot speak crap when it comes to comparing league one squads....sadly sir ernie on that last post has joined the list!

I have to agree with Earnie. On paper we have some individual 'good' players but a good squad is more the sum of its parts than individual players. Our squad is imbalanced, doesn't fit any particular system, and lacks some key ingredients - we have no pace, we have no width, we have no real strength/nastiness in midfield, we lack leaders on the pitch, we lack goals from midfield, we lack any real variation, we have no one who can come off the bench and change a game. but we do have the best striker in the league in Jackson - he played PL don't you know .

Clueless.

Anyone get an update on Reda, did he manage to get on the team bus without injuring himself?

It's as if people are oblivious to the fact that the majority of teams in this division are no better equipped than ourselves.

It's not as if Lee Johnson, Shaun Derry, Phil Parkinson and Robert Page are managerial geniuses either, which makes Pressley's record look even more atrocious.

LJC_CCFC · Jan 24, 2015

@AndyTurnerccfc: Team (4-2-3-1): Jones; Willis, Martin, Webster, Johnson; Finch, Fleck; O'Brien, Jackson, Nouble; Madine. #skyblues #pusb

Good old Finchy is back

LJC_CCFC · Jan 24, 2015

Cue: "Why did we ever let that Loza guy leave"

chiefdave · Jan 24, 2015

So I assume Madine is up on his own again today. When even the player himself is saying that's a waste of time as he's no good up front on his own shouldn't a change be considered?

Let's hope the Reda effect is seen and we get 3 points today, we need to put some space between us and those at the bottom.

What does Webster have to do to be dropped?

Out of interest, how would you set the team up?

skybluejelly · Jan 24, 2015

Have a feeling we will win now reda is back .. Have had a tenner each way on o'brien scoring at 16-1 especially after the birth of his son ..

Glen · Jan 24, 2015

SP will not go either way but if we win no reason for him to go today

Jay88 · Jan 24, 2015

so looks like Reda is left back, I would imagine nouble is left mid again ..... Pressley what is going on! Can't u play players in their own positions? Ent we lucky to have finch back in midfield :-(

shy_tall_knight · Jan 24, 2015

Finch is only 18 he may become a great player but looks out of his depth, but so do fleck & webster

Kingokings204 · Jan 24, 2015

Yes I agree SP won't go after today win or lose so may as well win it tbh. Just parked up and walking in.

Lovely day just set up for us to lose. Perfect

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 24, 2015

Hilarious by CWR to claim the fans are getting on Websters back for one poor performance, he's been a main part of the worst Coventry defence ever over the last 18 months.

dongonzalos · Jan 24, 2015

Not got good vibes about today

Our left side with these two is very concerning I must say.....

Probably the diamond formation, not ideal but we have an abundance of central midfielders and no widemen. I also think centre halves oh this league have a couple of mistakes in them, so two upfront is more effective. It has its flaws, as do other formations, but as a squad our players fit it better than 4231, 352, 442 IMO.

Who would you play at the tip of the diamond? I don't think any of our players really play there? And who would you play as the CDM? Think would need an actually defensive midfielder in this formation? Not having a go just want to know? Who up front? Madine and nouble?

torchomatic · Jan 24, 2015

Is this Madine's last game?

Possibly current loan ends 30th January I think

If all fit maddison would be perfect at the tip of the diamond, I think swanson could do a job there too.

Up top I think you can only play one of madine or Nouble, they both need someone to play off them, and neither of the type of strikers to run in behind defences so would probably go for Jackson.

At the base of the diamond, that's a difficult one, but probably go for thomas then fleck/o'brien either side.

Like I said it's not ideal, but has to be better than playing a lone striker and 2 other strikers out of position.
All fit
---------------Jones
Phillips martin --johnson haynes
--------------thomas
----o'brien------------fleck
--------------maddison
---madine/Nouble----jackson

you think maddison is ready to start league one games regualrly? I would agree it suits him but don't think he is ready for it? I don't think it matters what formation we play atm tbh, the midfield is so poor that it doesn't matter.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 24, 2015

Pretty eventful game so far.

Don't get excited, we're not losing yet.

Reda was full back at Sheffield Wednesday. Wednesday fans I've spoken to reckon it's his best position.

How are we sounding so far?

Boring, two half chances for Yeovil. We had a free kick, Jordan Willis (bizarrely) had a shot and missed. Nothing else to note.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 24, 2015

We nearly score just before HT

0-0 dull
