[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

Birmingham, Coventry, West Brom, Wolves and Walsall all at home today same KO.
10 sets of fans on similar trains.
3 games practically derbies.
Couldn't write it.
Might not be many Old Bill at Cov.

Has anyone got x2 tickets for today’s game?

My nearest away game, and expecting absolutely nothing.

Hopefully see a few of the new players, would love to MPH in the 10 roll ,Currie back at left wing back because it looks like we are going to play 3 at the back .The young Turkish lad in .But with everyone even fit I think Coventry will be pleased they are playing us. Areally tough 3 league games coming up ,we could be in real trouble by the end of Feb and really cut a drift sadly .but will be there

I reckon Emakhu could come in from the start seeing as he's ready to go, and hopefully we can welcome back McDonnell and Currie back after their recent knocks too. Those three alone would be beneficial additions to strengthen our squad vs last time out

Modern football! What about the geezers rocking up with a handful of fivers?

 

[uptheus]

Let's hope for an upset today!

Yeah, and hopefully in our game!!

Well I don't think there is any chance of the new signings upsetting the cohesion of the team as there hasn't been much of that all season.
Play like we did against Leicester and although Coventry are a lot better than them I think we have a chance of getting something out of this.
Just don't go giving silly goals away.
Or silly free kicks away.
Let the ball do the work and take any chance we can to score
COME ON YOU YELLOWS

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Let's hope for some kind results in other games too. 6 pointer at Norwich.

Might be a stupid question, but why do all games start at 1 minutes past the half hour/hour?

Live commentary of the game on talksport 2 from 2.30.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

If we have to play 3 at the back can we at least go with something like:

Cumming
Makosso Long Davies
Mills Brannagan Konak Roosken
MPH Lankshear Emakhu​

Just hoping to not get embarrassed at the moment, we have looked a bit of a mess the last two games but hopefully we have sorted that out and can be competitive.

Amazing how long ago that Leicester win seems when in reality it’s two games and two weeks ago.

[Oxfordpete]

I am hoping we don’t have a back 3 we were torn apart last time out

False 9?!

Good to see the new guys, it doesn't look like thise here at the start of the season will get us out of the mire.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Five changes for Cov:
