Pre-Match Thread Coventry City v Southend United

[WESTY_SUFC]

I'd like to see;

Smith

White
Coker

Ferdinand
Thompson

Atkinson
Amos
Leonard
McLaughlin

MAF
Robinson

subs: Youth GK, Demetriou, Timlin, Wordsworth, McGlashan, Cox, Ranger

That is some bench too ! yes, not a lot of defenders - but White can cover CB, with Amos or Demetriou at FB as can Timlim if needed. I'd actually go as far as giving Wordsworth an evening off, but only maybe to put Innis on the bench (is he banned or injured??)

Id go with that team too. Got a good balance to it

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Good team Floval :thumbsup:....likely to happen :thumbdown: :angry:

 

[LennySUFC]

Anyone else think Wordsworth is burnt out? Let's face it he hasn't played a full season for a long time. Could do with resting him tomorrow night.

Smith
Demi Thompson Ferdinand Coker
Atkinson Leonard Timlin McGlaughlin
Robinson/Ranger/MAF Cox
​

I have no idea who should partner Cox.

 

[Danshrimper]

Smith ( if we had another goalie would drop him)
White, Thompson, Ferdinand, Coker
Atkinson, Amos, Leonard, Mclaughlin
Ranger, Robinson

Got to give Amos and Robinson a start. Great to see McLaughlin back and White in at right back a must but will Brown be brave enough!

Why would you drop Smith? He made a number of good saves on Saturday and couldn't have done anything about their goals. Ridiculous comment.

 

[Danshrimper]

The players looked knackered on Saturday, a lot of them need a rest and the team needs to be rotated and should have been rotated a couple of weeks ago. I would go with:

Smith
White Thompson Ferdinand Coker
Atkinson Leonard Amos McGlashan (would say McLaughlin but he didn't look 100% on Saturday, too soon to start)
Fortune Cox

Unfortunately, Brown will probably end up not making the changes that are needed and end up dropping Fortune who despite being by far our most threatening attacker on Saturday, Brown felt it necessary to bring him off after 30 minutes.

I wholeheartedly agree.

EVERYONE beats Coventry!.........................:unsure:

 

[Napster]

Smith
White Ferdinand Thommo Timlin
Mclaughlin Leonard Amos McGlashan
Ranger Fortune

Bench Cox, Wordsworth, Coker and Atkinson

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Would quite like to see us start this with 2 wingers actually. Doubt this will be the lineup but I'd quite like to see the following:

Smith
White Thompson Ferdinand Coker
McGlashan Leonard Amos McLaughlin
Ranger Robinson

 

[Napster]

Smith
White Thompson Ferdinand Coker
McGlashen Leonard Amos McLaughlin
Ranger Robinson

great minds and all that - but I'd drop Coker and have Fortune against his old club.

John White has been chosen by Phil Brown for the pre match interviews at the training ground. Maybe an indication he might start?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

McG instead of Atko ? IMO, start with Atko and make optimum use of McG's pace later on....??

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Smith wont be dropped as Oxley still unfit and out for some time.

Where i was sitting on Saturday he cant be blamed for the first goal but i think he could have done better for the second.To his credit he made some decent saves after that.Those on front should take a long look in the mirror.

 

[Taunton_Shrimper]

Needs some change to freshen up, not wholesale. Taking a gamble to start Amos at this stage is to much imo.

Smith
White, Thompson, Ferdinand, Coker
Atkinson, Leonard, Timlin, Mclaughlin
Ranger, Robinson

Smith
White Ferdinand Inniss Coker
Atkinson Wordsworth Lenny McL

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

There will be changes as PB has said we have 2 or 3 potentially serious injuries after saturday.

 

[mrsblue]

Must win game ,City concede for fun,we need to go after them.

442 with Robbo paired with Marc/Ranger...personally I would keep Wordy in too.

 

[GDM]

The general consensus here appears that we should drop our two top scorers:thumbdown:
