Monday 8pm kick off Who will turn up? Player wise not fans Would be nice to see some shots on goal From our team obvs
City at home, Coventry in the top 6, they'll see this as an opportunity to consolidate. I fear we might get well turned over. Hope not, UTT...
It'll be a very difficult game. Our lot will have to turn up unless they want a mullering. They are big, physical and have some skillful players. What a combo.
Pandur Coyle Jones Hughes Mac Alzate Puerta Gertrude Palmer Joseph Pedro That’ll be enough to win comfortably.
A couple of left field ideas, Slater has always looked better further forward IMO, would he be worth a go ahead of Puerta and Alzate? Vaughn for me on the left has looked more effective than both Joseph and Kamara, I'd give him and go.
I watched Coventry v Portsmouth last night. Portsmouth did a really good job of getting high up and pressing them, Coventry didnt know how to deal with it and for spells couldnt get out of the half and ended up going long and losing possession. For me, I'd drop Pedro for Joseph who will run all day, Geldhart left, Kamara right, Crooks sitting just off Joseph. (essentially the front Line of against Sheff Utd?) As good as Pedro is, he's been crap since coming back from the suspension. We also need extra help for Coyle. I said last night how they overloaded their left side and targeted Pompeys RB. He got rinsed at their place and they will target him again. Hopefully Puerta might be available.
So first of all this playing on Monday thing, I knew Easter would be coming up soon so I had been putting 2 + 2 together and thought this weekend was easter. Not helped by the Easter eggs that have been in the shops since Christmas. Turns out it's not Easter after all. In another shake up of the balls, I expect to see at least 4 changes to the team, certainly a change in the back 4 and it was interesting to see matty Jacob on the bench last game, will he get a go and Macca shuffled back to cb. Midfield will definitely see changes as we have about 10 players who all have to have a go.
This should have been a 'kids for a quid game'. Its half term, a Monday night FFS and live on the telly. Missed opportunity from our commercial team.
Wasn't aware of that. Perhaps that should be part of the 'matchday experience' or even a part of any offer?
Although Cov have hit the Top 6, they've lost 3 of their last 6 league games. I fancy us to get something from this one especially as for some unknown reason we seem more likely to turn up when playing one of the top teams.
A heads up for anyone planning on using Queens Road to get to the match / park on the avenues area... https://www.northerngasnetworks.co....up-to-minimise-disruption-during-joint-works/
I made the mistake of buying the kids eggs a couple of weeks ago, i need to rebuy them some more this week now..... the game is retro game apparently isnt it, everybody encouraged to wear retro gear, id be happy with a retro performance from around this time 2008 will do.
Coventry seem inconsistent they're either really good or awful. But don't give up and get late goals. I'd like to see Burstow on the left and Kamara on the right with Gelhardt behind Pedro. Possibly Lincoln in the middle if Puerta is ill but I'm still not convinced by Lincoln despite hit excellent cross for Hughes goal. I going for a 1-1 draw
I expect a draw here but get a win in this game and we reach magic number 47 to survive according to my calculations.
Alright, it will probably fail but my guess ends up like this: plymouth - 39 derby - 45 luton - 46 cardiff - 47 I am not confident about Luton though, but even if they get more, we should still be ahead of Cardiff 47 with average.
