We have a poor recent record against them at home, which surprised me as we usually do alright there iirc. Not feeling great about this one but then I rarely do. 1 or 2-0 defeat, but I really hope we can continue to make the MKM a bit of a fortress. I think we'll need to as we haven't looked up to much away from home.
It's going to be a clusterfuck. We'll line up the same, barring Tufan. We play too deep. We won't hit them on the counter. We'll ship another couple of goals. We'll blame the injuries.
Yeah I think we should play really expansive and high up with the current players we have. That’d be a great idea
You obviously have not met his Chinese mate Le Vee who is an ego maniac and insists on people around him saying his name not only throughout the game but during pre and post drinks too.
Shota - "Tyler (Smith) is back, as well as (Ryan) Longman. The rest (of the injured players) are out (of this weekend's game against Coventry)." "They're (Coventry) a good team who want to play football. They're a solid team who know how to defend and attack. They might lack rhythm (due to lack of games) but they'll be fresher having not had (as many) games or any problems (with injuries)." "I'm just looking ahead to our next game (against Coventry). I'll be giving full information to my team. If they (Coventry) have a good game, we'll know what to expect (from them)." "He's (Ryan Woods) a player who has (a lot of) experience in this league, having played more than 200 games. He played a great ball to Óscar (Estupiñán against West Brom) which could've been a goal." "It's great when families and local boys are involved (such as Lewie Coyle and Rocco Coyle both being named captain). It doesn't happen everywhere. Credit to their parents for giving their kids possibilities in sport. Everybody would love this kind of situation."
If you think we play deep all game then you don’t watch. We only start playing deep when we make subs
Well it’s a long season and I think if we can get the next month or so until hopefully most or all of the injuries are back then every win now keeps us in touch with the top six. Each win is a bonus and I think the home games are going to be vital.
Coventry was the first City in the UK to have an Ikea. This means they have more beds than all the hotels in Portugal. Fed up with her husband’s high taxes on the people of Coventry, Lady Godiva rode through the town naked so he would revoke them. No-one looked at her, apart from some fellow called Tom, and this is where the term Peeping Tom comes from. Although in reality, it never happened, and the story was invented by Benedictine monks 250 years after her death. The name Coventry originated from the word Coventre. The word Coventre is derived from the two words ‘Covent’, which stands in for Convent, and ‘tre’, which stands for settlement. Britain's car industry was founded by Daimler in a disused Coventry cotton mill in 1896. All modern bicycles are descended from John Kemp Starley's Rover safety cycle, invented in Coventry in 1885. The first £5 note in a worker's peacetime wage was paid in Coventry during the 1950's. The city was the birthplace of jet pioneer Sir Frank Whittle, the poet Philip Larkin and the pop impresario Pete Waterman. The expression 'true blue' has Coventry origins and dates from the 14th century, when cloth dyed Coventry blue became very fashionable and expensive. The first tank, the first traffic indicators for cars and the first dumper truck were built in Coventry. The first motorised funeral was held in the city. The phrase 'sent to Coventry' originated during the English Civil War, when captured Royalists were imprisoned in the heavily fortified and strongly pro-Parliament city. They were given a hard time by the local people. Dick Whittington was member of one of Coventry's mediaeval craft guilds. Chuck Berry recorded his number one hit 'My Ding-A-Ling' at a Coventry dance hall. Coventry Transport Museum has the biggest collection of British made cars, motorcycles and bicycles in the world. The minis in the sewer scenes in The Italian Job, were filmed in Coventry. Two-Tone music, British Ska, came out of Coventry in the late 1970s, through bands like The Specials and Selecter. Ghost Town, the Specials’ biggest hit, was actually written about Glasgow, not Coventry. In 1948, work started on Coventry’s traffic-free shopping centre, the first in Europe. Rotterdam’s opened for business months later. Legend has it the dragon-slayer and patron saint of England was born in Coventry and was a central figure for the city.
I think the team will need the crowd more than ever this weekend... Coventry have had chance to bandage up and get players fit... score early, then score again...
There may well be more beds than in Portugal but you will need to assemble them yourselves. Massey Ferguson tractors were made in Coventry. Not any more.
