Cov V Leicester teams and match thread

Teams

Leicester- Schmeichel, Peltier, Konchesky, Mills(c), Bamba, Vassell, Wellens, Abe, Danns, Nugent, Fernandes
Subs: Gallagher, St. Ledger, King, Dyer, Weale

Coventry- Murphy, Keogh, Cranie, Hussey, Christie, Clingan (c), Baker, Bell, Bigirimana, McSheffrey, Jutkiewicz
Subs: Dunn (GK), McPake, O'Donovan, Wood, Thomas


So despite the media thinking Richie Wellens was going to be the captain it now looks like Matt Mills is the captain

 

Sven moves in mysterious ways.

 

No real surprises there other than perhaps Fernandes starting and no Kingy. Mind you, looking at that Cov team this should be a walkover. Doesn't seem to be much substance to it...

 

The 5 subs thing is stupid. No Michael Johnson or John Pantsil

 

What do people think the formation is? 4-3-3, 4-4-2.

... odd really.

i had a horrible though danns may be used as a 4-3-3 winger, shame really.

wheres gally?!?!

 

... bench i see. Very disapointed actually. Gutted about king too.

 

Probably be:

Schmeichel
Peltier - Mills - Bamba - Konchesky
Wellens - Fernandes - Abe
Danns - Nugent - Vassell

I agree that 5 subs rule is just ridiculous. I can see some very unhappy players this season.

 

A brave move leaving King out. My heart screams against it, it my head is thinking we can't afford for him to go missing in games at this stage of the season, we need to establish ourselves.

 

how can abe start instead of gallagher?!

plus id have swapped weale for howard/waggy- is there really a need for a sub keeper?

 

Even though King does go missing sometimes he is always good for a goal. What we should try is King as a striker. It would be worth a go

 

I'd love to see that... Maybe Sven would too

 

Don´t get me started on this F****** rule ARRRRRRRRR!

 

waste him a little i think- his main strengths are long shots and his late runs into the box from midfield- not playing off the shoulder of the last man.

 

I dont think he is available for the Rotherham game because he is playing for Wales but I would of started him up front with somelike Waghorn

 

What happens if JS gets injured .

Bamba in goal would be a laugh!

 

then its very unlikely and we may lose the game... we would probably win more by having an extra striking option than losing via a goalkeeper injury.

 

Stringer just said there is more Leicester fans there then Cov fans
