Match preview for tonight's game available here (http://vivarovers.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/ricoh-roulette-coventry-city-preview/)
-
Well Byron fits the bill but hasn't played for a long time. Maybe risky to play him from the off.
Locky on the other hand will get his head under the bombs so long as you don't expect him to turn and chase.
That means JOC between Locky and Martis is the better option. This gives Dumbuya and Friend to push on and make up for the extra defender, so long as they don't get dictated to by their wide men/man.
Could be an interesting battle between Dumbuya and MacIndoe.
Be interesting to see if we go with a back 5. If both Platt and King play then it would make sense. Also if Hayter comes in who gets the chop, Shiels ?
We hopefully will have too much for them to cope with tonight and if we can take our chances then we could muller them. On the other hand if we show any nervousness at the back than that will encourage them to launch more balls in to the box.
Let us hold firm, let them run out of ideas, then carve them open at will !
Come on you Reds !!
-
According to Radio Sheffield, back five of Hird, Locky, Martis, Friend and JOC.
Dumbuya and Gillett benched.
Doncaster
01 Sullivan
02 O'Connor
03 Friend
04 Martis
11 Lockwood
21 Hird
07 Woods
16 Oster
26 Coppinger
10 Sharp
22 Shiels
Substitutes
33 Woods, 08 Stock, 23 Webster, 15 Wilson, 18 Gillett, 24 Dumbuya, 12 Hayte
-
Mmmmm. Good call actually assuming either Hird or JOC will be keeping Macca quiet (if he's playing).
-
Keiren Westwood
Richard Keogh
Richard Wood
Ben Turner
Martin Cranie
Aron Gunnarsson
Sammy Clingan
Lee Carsley
Daniel Ward
Marlon King
Clive Platt
The 2 Richards are donkeys. Clingan and Carsley could dominate if we let them. Big lads !!
-
terrible team we are totally f**ked !
glad I went for 1-2 in free press !
What SOD thinking!?!
-
Method in his madness (I hope).
-
I reckon SOD will be happy with a draw with that lineup.
-
My only doubt is they have forced us in to playing a game we don't like playing.
We need to stand up and be counted and use our brains !
-
Slack defending. Forgot about the brains bit !!
JOC out of the middle spells trouble.
-
Any particular reason for Dumbuya being dropped? I hope he's got a knock cos he doesn't deserve to be dropped after the last few games.
I can't see us getting anything tonight. :dry:

Really? Surely not?!
When you line up our eleven against theirs it look all one way in their favour. If King is on form then we could be on for a hammering.
Hope Im wrong though. ;)
-
Well to be honest the last two times I looked at the starting line-up for a game and thought jeeezous whats SOD doing?We won both games so im not goner complain.Come on Rovers :scarf:
-
Well don't know about you but I'm already thinking about getting Lockwood off and JOC back in middle. Danny Ward sounds like he's got some pace.
Aint going to happen though.
Woods just missed a great chance !
-
1-0 down we're going to go tits up in this one.........wrong team surely.
-
Wenger of the North
Have faith lol
-
Well on the balance of play had it not been for the goal, you could say it's going to plan !
-
b*llocks ! Another chance gone. Copps saved at point blank !
-
Anyone got the keys for the Yahoo! Lucky Pint tonight, BBC Sheff has stiched us up again. Utd on FM and DAB. Rovers on AM = no signal for me!!! not happy.
If anyone has can they sign me in please The_Mighty_Brian_Rowe
Ta.
-
Oh shit. Martis off. Dumbuya on. JOC into middle.

I've just got in... was Shelton injured?
-
said on player he went straight down the tunnel looked injured
-
Time to bring someone in on loan for the next match.
-
Thanks, I'd wondered if SOD had had a tactical re-think once he saw how it started.
-
were 15th at the moment :S Id bring Hayter on at half time if it doesnt change
-
Ever get the feeling when we get near the box we take too long to get a shot off. Opposition always seem to shoot for fun at earliest opportunity.
-
Bout Time...SHARP !!!!!!!
-
bc'mon king billy
-
Get In 1-1 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
-
Woo Hoo. King Billy 1-1! :cheer:

Dumbuya sounds like he's making a difference again, I get the feeling he's going to turn into some player hopefully! If he can keep working on his final ball then anything's possible
-
Right. Close it out to half time. Sit down and have a think about how we're gonna win this game !!

I think SOD's view will be 'if you scrub the first minute we've won the half 1-0.
I'm with SOD on this one.
-
I think Chris Mortley's upped his game a bit, the commentary seems to be improving over time, I think he was trying too hard before. Was Paul M with him earlier btw? (I missed first 25 mins)

I just think he's missing someone with him to bounce comments off and pitch in when the action is quiet - every other broadcaster does it and it works as a formula, means he's not talking to himself all the time!
-
Agreed. Dave Penney is doing it for dee dah tonight.
-
Woods needs his shooting boots on. Sounds like we're giving them plenty to worry about.

That is unbelievable after dominating

It isn't unbelievable at all. It's pretty much expected at this point from us. Sigh.
-
why we put wilson on for oster i dont know
-
I hate to question SOD, but why oh why does he insist on leaving substitutions so late?? Giving subs 10 mins at the end is no good when its obvious some players are not on song.
-
once again donny are the better team. once again we don't take our chances. once again we lose. oh well, at least the leeds fans will be quiet at work this week, haha.
-
We can't finish teams off so we will keep on getting punished.
-
We need to take our chances, simple!
-
Willo missed a sitter.
-
Just missed 20 mins thanks to F**cking player, and what's going on
Why have we not scored with those stats !!
-
Corner - maybe last chance
-
How many times have we heard that - off the line !
-

same old story baz, not taking our chances, sounds like we've had a few off the line...again...and missed a few sitters....again.
-
Can we get Uri Geller in to give us some luck!??? BEND THE SPOOOOOOOOOON!
-
same old story its getting boring
-
game over. 15th in the league?
-
That's a shit result. Coventry are a shit team and we should be killing teams off like these. I'm so angry !!

Whats unbelievable about it.
Time after time this season we have given soft goals away when in a position of strength, repeatedly we fail to take our chances where the opposition do, and repeatedly we refuse to change things on the pitch until it is far too late.
To be honest Im suprised we didnt lose by at least a couple more.
-
I'm sure we wouldn't swap the domination. If we're creating so many chances then it's got to be down to being ruthless in front of goal.
Like I said on Satdi, we've got to get nasty and want to burst the net.

lets be fair, its been this season, and last, and the season before :laugh:
-
Time to get 2 up front ?
-
heard it was a scrappy game :(
-
didn't sound scrappy on player. sounded like a good first half followed by us ripping them to pieces in the second half and again not putting the ball in the net.
the number of times i heard \"so and so takes a shot....and its wide/over the bar\" was unreal, we seem to have a serious accuracy problem
and as per usual kieron (sp) c***chops westwood pulled off a couple of great saves. i hate him. in the obvious sense i'd love him to be our sulli replacement when the day comes, haha.
-
12 shots on target
7 off target
14 corners
Most teams can only dream of chances like that.
They were saying on radio Sheffield that Blades have got the worst conversion rate in the league. I think we must have trumped them now.

That's not the way it sounded at all. 14 corners, 12 shots on target........why are we not burying these teams and why bring on Willo ? Is SO'D just too safe , doesn't fortune favour the brave?
I'm as sick as a parrot and angry at the substitution. :angry:
-
Sounds like Coppinger, Friend and Wilson failed to score from more or less open goals.
If we can pass the ball so accurately in the middle third, what's happening in the final third ?
It has to be a mental thing. Composure or fear of missing ? We've had this before so SOD should now how to go about it.
Same mentality went putting at golf. Think you're gonna miss and you'll miss.
-
You're right get the Sports Psycho onto this one straight away and nip it in the bud.

Bang on.
We wasted so many guilt-edged chances tonight it was untrue. Very frustrating.

you forgot to add your........'and why do we always capitulate in the second half'.
....0f course the fact that there is only 1 game in 9 where there is an argument that we may have capitulated v Cardiff and in all the other 8 games we have been dominant or equal, clearly means........we must always capitulate in the 2nd half.
Descartes, Einstein, Fibonacci, Newton, Pascal, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Babbage were clearly all tossers
-
Just watched the highlights on Rovers player and how on earth Friend didn't score in the first half and Mark Wilson completely missed the target in the dying minutes on the second half I don't know?
:S
