Agreed, very good Pete.  One "schoolboy error", though.  McGoldrick is now at Ipswich so should be no danger to us today ;) .  Forest recalled him and then sent him there.

Hey, I'm just glad he's not playing for them today.  Far too good a player for L1

Post by: Bristol Red Rover on March 29, 2013, 01:13:28 pm
They did well getting McGoldrick and paying him a "fraction" of his wages. Though that was still beyond their means in a desperate gamble to get back to the Championship.

Interesting game today with Cov being an attacking side and us tending to sit back and counter. Maybe without McGoldrick we have a better chance, but I'm not sure its the best tactic to sit too far back.

An interesting part of today will be the midfield subs. I think it will be Lundstram to start with Furman benched. So then there's the CM like for like swap of Furman and Lundstram or the slightly more defensive move of Furman on for Copps. And the usual Paynter on for Brown/Hume, and I hope to see Wakefield get a game but suspect we'll be doing a Bennett on for Cotts.

I also reckon Quinn will be starting - Flynns RP interview sounded a bit like a smokescreen to me.

Post by: Dutch Uncle on March 29, 2013, 02:01:53 pm
Re Bennett for Cotts - Cotts is on 9 Yellows. I think the amnesty for 10 cards may kick into play this weekend so I can see him being subbed later on.

P.S. Good read as always Fuzzy

After the game next Saturday (6th)
Are you sure? I thought card amnesty day was the second Sunday in April.

<added>
Just checked on the FA page and it is the second sunday in April. I doubt Cotts could go 5 games without a yellow - thats then 2 games out.

Jones is on 8 yellows, Hume 5 yellow and a red.
Title: Re: Sky Blues v Rovers
Post by: Dutch Uncle on March 29, 2013, 02:30:02 pm
Team (from BBC site):

    33 Woods
    03 Husband
    05 Jones
    14 Spurr
    16 McCombe
    19 Griffin
    11 Cotterill
    12 Lundstram
    26 Coppinger
    09 Brown
    17 Hume

Substitutes

    01 Sullivan
    15 Wakefield
    20 Harper
    35 Furman
    08 Paynter
    18 Sinclair
    23 Bennett

So Griffin in for Quinn only change; Furman and Harper on the bench

Edit: Presumably Griffin at RB, but might it possibly be Husband at RB, Griffin CM and Coppinger wide?
Title: Re: Sky Blues v Rovers
Post by: RoversAlias on March 29, 2013, 02:54:03 pm
Sensible option is a straight swap, Griffin to right back for Quinn. No point messing it all up and putting 3 players out of position.

Is this game available to be listened to on any radio stations today chaps?

Not going well so far. Copps been substituting in the middle of the park but Coventry are too good a team for that.

Let's get Furman on. Tell the full backs to get forward when they can, get Copps further up the pitch. Might have to get Husband off (although I'd prefer Husband at full back than Spurr).

Not long back in, we deserved something for that second half performance, having been shocking in the 1st where we just didn't turn up.  Apart from swapping Husband for Furman, I can't understand why the players didn't make the same efforts in the first 45 mins.

Griff MoM for me, made some excellent attacking forays and defended calmly.  Should have had a penalty, especially as the ref gave a foul against Copps immediately afterwards for a lesser challenge :(
