Looks like we need the creative goalscoring Azaz today with a good cameo from Edozie to steal the 3 points
Except we don’t have any of our quick players who are good at running with the ball. Looks like a try and keep it 0-0 and hope for a set piece goal to me.
Not sure about that team at all. Not enough pace in it, surely playing on the break is our best option here?
Feels like there's a chance we could end up chasing the game and then those pacey players won't have as much space to work in.
Imo would have been better to start with pace, hopefully grab a goal and then bring on the players better at keeping the ball to try and defend it.

Won’t be easy to counter attack with no real pace in the team. Think this is a sit in a block formation and grab a set piece goal.
Think we probably would’ve anyway in honesty. No Leo or Ross is tough, but I feel better than this than West Brom away Wednesday weirdly… that just had slip up all over it, whereas this has Cov slip up all over it
1-1
I guess Charles will play further forward and perhaps the full backs will get further forward but we will need to get the ball to Larin otherwise it will keep coming back.
I reckon the aim is 0-0 at half time, then bring in some pace second half to nick it.
It is strange to have no natural wingers, but maybe this will confuse Coventry as much as it has us.
Maybe Azaz & Matsuki are closet wingers and will be better than Leo and Fellows.
Or maybe not.

One other thing. Coventry are top of the league and for a reason. They are good.
However, this is the Championship and a side in 7th hasn't been necessarily as good as the team in 1st, but the gulf in class isn't the same as 1st v7th in the PL. Anyone can beat anyone in this league and normally do.

Larin should score, decent start though
