Coventry City away match thread

To add a bit of weight to my argument I’m fed up of seeing Sam Bell bring nothing to games.  The times he beats a man the end product is woeful and the times he doesn’t he gets brushed off the ball so easily and really does look lost defensively at wingback.

Fair play you got it right!?  I’m not confident!

Twine out…Tommy rested, Wells starts.

Bell in too

McCrorie rested

No confidence at all in this.  Hoping the boys prove me wrong.

Interesting side.

Would have rested Conway & James myself, McCrorie is logical too in view of the time he’s been out.

Lot of games coming up & will need every senior player at some point.

Tbf ……. I can get by the Knight positioning, and Wells coming into the team.  Williams has been great of Late it’s just Sam Bell has been looking like a League 2 player at best.

I wonder if his Dad was someone else whether his career would have took a similar path to Sam Pearson.

I’d have rather seen Gardner Hickman at RWB, James and Williams central and Sam Bell back at the HPC.

Go to confidence island and drink 10 cans of confidence then, nay sayer!

I’ll get behind whoever pulls on the shirt, support them through the game and my judgement will be made come the final whistle.  I’m hoping I’m eating some humble pie come 10pm.

No worries. I usually watch the game behind closed fingers, in a dark room, behind a locked door

Because Sam Pearson definitely would have scored 4 Championship goals in his first 9 games this season..

That’s why he’s playing National League South.

Truly embarrassing, there are several who are equally obsessed with Cornick but you know far more than Pearson or Manning who have both picked him, so pile on to an Academy product who is definitely a valuable squad player.

You’ve said it in your own words.  Squad player.  I’ll challenge anyone to tell me he’d be anywhere near their first pick in any position.  Even 2nd pick for any position when everyone is available.

Would he be anywhere near your starting 11 of a fully fit squad GrahamC.

i love listening to everyone’s opinions and am always open as everyone sees the game differently.

isn't that what makes our game the best game on earth?

You can't play your best available players every game. It doesn't work like that. There has to be rotation. That's why you have squads and not just 11 players. Sorry to break it to you but you can't just refill their stamina like you would on Fifa or Football Manager.

The changes seem sensible to me. McCrorie probably needs a rest as he returns to fitness. Mehmeti has been looking dangerous. Bell looked lively when he came on v Forest. Williams has been playing well. Conway is probably knackered after playing up front in his own, but he can come on if needed. 

Let’s beat them, City. We’re due a win. COYR

Would be pleasantly surprised to see Twine start before QPR personally. He featured fine with full fitness for Hull before joining us, too. Have to chuckle really. 

Grade 1 quad strains can take between 1 and 3 weeks to heal. According to Inspector Google of The Yard.

Oh so typical of City.  Injuries which all clubs have, seem worse for us because of our thing squad, and add in now the build up of games, my optimism after cup games is evaporating fast.  We need points if Manning is going to deliver on target set him.

Come on City play a blinder tonight and confound all of us worriers with three points.

Good news?

According to Liam, Twine's scan has revealed the quad injury is just an irritation and nothing major.

He felt it the day following the Watford game.

12-14 days out.

That's reassuring.

It never is though is it? I’m sure we were told the same about Sykes.

My entry for most negative post on the MDT so far this season is that with this side we'll lose this 13-1 (and that will be an own goal), Twine's season is over, Bell will cross the ball 12 times in the match and every single one will end up in the stand, Max will also kick the ball into the stand around twenty three times, we will pass the ball back to Max from an attacking position on the edge of their penalty area when we could have got a shot away at least seven times and we will be handed a letter from the EFL at full time advising us we are on an FFFP charge.

Worrying..............

Oh, and despite all that happening be careful what you wish for.

To be completely honest at times this season (like when we ripped Swansea & Plymouth apart) yes, at others no.

Sam has a 100% availability record this season, he’s also the only outfield player to have been on the pitch for some part of every single league game.

I run a big team for my job & the people who work for me that I like the most are the ones who come in every single day, not the ones who are good at their job but I can’t ever rely on to do so.

Our squad is small, as usual tonight’s bench includes two totally inexperienced youngsters & Andy King.

This nonsense about him not being good enough is childish, two very different managers have consistently picked him, at 21 he’s already played far more Championship football than his Dad ever did.

I am far more frustrated by Naismith’s consistently poor availability record than anything Sam does.

Can't decide whether to have a massive meltdown before the game and quietly slope off post match when we win, or just be generally negative and snipe at anyone employed by the club for the next couple of hours.

Any tips/ideas appreciated

The latter please. A general forum overreaction/meltdown will be far more entertaining than the game.
