    Coventry City v Leeds Utd

    Wednesday 6th [email protected] | CBS Arena

    Leeds face a challenging trip to Frank Lampard's Coventry City on Wednesday evening, looking for their first victory in CV6 for almost 15 years.

    Despite the 3-0 thrashing at Elland Road last September (courtesy of goals from Messrs Gnonto, Bogle and Piroe), the Sky Blues have always been somewhat of a bogey side for Leeds, though that's exactly what we said about Cardiff, and look what happened there! Fat Franks side currently top the form guide with four wins, a draw and a loss in their last six games, a point more than Leeds.

    Leeds remain top of the pile, ten places and twenty-two points above the Midlanders. Daniel Farke's side will be riding high on confidence, particularly with Junior Firpo's dazzling return from injury, marked by a hat-trick of assists.
    Manor Solomon, Dan James and Joel Piroe were outstanding too, and should keep their starting places head of Ramazani, Gnonto and Joseph.

    The gaffer will be in no hurry to bring Pascal Struijk back to the starting line-up until he's completely ready. The 25yo has struggled from a niggling hamstring injury for the past five weeks. He managed fifteen minutes against Cardiff, and will start on the bench again midweek. Ethan Ampadu will continue to deputise. Patrick Bamford is still receiving treatment on his troublesome hamstring injury, and not due back for several weeks.

    Matt Grimes could make his Coventry debut after his deadline day move from Swansea City, replacing Ben Sheaf in midfield, who has a muscular injury. Leading scorer Haji Wright (ankle) and midfielder Ephron Mason-Clark (hamstring) are still several weeks away from returning to action following respective injuries!

    Time to wipe that gormless grin of fwanks dial for sure, we owe him one ....I was unfortunate to be at the semi when these lot did us in 87' at Hillsborough with a gutting goal in the 99th minute to win 3-2.... it's payback time for both :emoticon-0178-rock:

    Smashing Fwank the ****er is almost as enjoyable a prospect as putting 7 past Cardiff.

    Morning all. I can't see them sitting back at home as they're in such good form, so they could play into our hands. I don't think there's a team in the Championship that can go toe to toe with us. I don't think Fwank can build the wall Parker did.
    Should be a good game and a point could be good.

    Tough game this one. They beat us last season at Coventry.

    Hoping for a gritty, scrappy win. I'm usually super confident but I reckon we could lose this one.

    It's weird mate, I have a nagging doubt about this one too. Would be a really bad time to end the unbeaten run with Sheffield United & Sunderland coming up <yikes>

    Afternoon all.

    Im going for a win. Totally agree with blonogasoven on this one. It will be either a very close game (0-1) or a high scoring one (2-3) - who knows!

    I confidently predict it will either be a win a draw or a defeat. It could be low scoring, could be high scoring, could be close or a drubbing either way.

    You beat me to it, I would only add to your excellent summary that it could also be a 0-0.

    I'm going to be positive and another win. very important we get the first goal though we need to be at it from the get go. Yes they in form but they wont go gung ho after seeing Cardiff trying to go toe to toe Fat Frank will know it could be criminal. it will be back to the opposition playing ugly looking for fouls and freekicks to get the ball in our box. if we are switched on and the Ref is normal we have a great chance they aren't a top 6 team.

    We will win this. May be a close affair, but we are far better the best squad and resulting team between us both. Come on lads. Lets win! Make another statement

    Can’t really complain when most have criticised that he only plays “one way”. Try and win the bullying tactics we usually face when we’re against the home opposition.

    There’s the problem right there. I’ve never seen a normal one.
