Match Day Thread Coventry vs Southampton, Wed, 13 Dec 19:45

A must win game to stop some on Not 606 losing it

Seriously though, we need to win, but there will be twists and turns over the next few months so I am a bit placid about it.

Even though we are in the championship, we are in such a better place than last year.

This time last year we had Nathan 'fittest man in Europe' Jones in charge.

I wouldn't put as 'in charge' but more like charging towards total oblivion.

I thought that all midweek Championship games were on Sky? Seems like not tonight?

 

[Brinkworth Saint]

Watford were looking the more likely to get the winner, imo, but then our old friend Wesley Hoedt had a heavy touch and gifted the Ipswich player a one on one with the keeper.
A bit of good fortune for Ipswich but credit for their resilience and for taking the chance when presented to them.
Hopefully we will be creative and clinical tonight.

Can't think why we got rid of him.

Thanks, not seeing it on NowTV (I normally do under bonus streams) - Will wait until nearer the game. I have Saints Player as a backup.

I am in a meeting until 8pm anyway so can't watch it anyway immediatly . Hopefully by the time I get on we are 1 or 2 up

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Ugh, no Downes.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

No Downes, but good to see Dibling on the bench.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Otherwise fine. Should have rotated Manning and Bree maybe. Aribo for Charly is fine.

 

[tomw24]

Ugh, no Downes.

Aribo was excellent on Saturday so not too concerned.

Aribo is in for Charly. Agree though, eager to see what he can do. Charly was woeful against Watford.

Aribo and Charly both started on Saturday.

Fair enough. I hope its Aribo as CAM though.

I suspect it will be Smallbone.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Aribo played a lot of different positions for Rangers, I think that he will be more advanced than Smallbone.

Not convinced. Smallbone's been getting forwards a lot under Martin and Aribo's more physical.

I'm content either way tbh.
