Coventry, previously the perennial Premier League strugglers in the years of Steve Ogrizovic and Gordon Strachan, now find themselves in the bottom tier of English League Football, making this the first time we have played them in the league. The phrase being sent to Coventry is certainly one which Nicholls, Watson and Sweeney will be familiar with
Having apparently lost our best 3 strikers for this game, and with confidence low after 1 point from a possible 15 this has all the hallmarks of a tricky fixture, and the hope will be that we do not crumble again in front of the sky cameras.
In terms of starting lineup, the loss of Coulthirst is a crippling blow to our chances in this game, and with Akpa-Akpro our only fit striker, the options are limited, to put it kindly. I would go with the following:-
---------------------Ross-----------------------
-------Clough-------Nelson-----Santos------
--Vilhete----------------------------Tutonda--
------------Weston----J. Taylor---------------
-----JCR-----------------------------Akinola----
---------------Akpa-Akpro-----------------------
Subs: RML, H. Taylor, Smith, Sweeney, Bover, Fonguck, Nicholls
If Weston does not make it then Fonguck to start.
I am going to this game, but have had to make my own public transport arrangements as the club are yet to announce shuttle bus arrangements. Are they aware if kicks off at 12:30?
