Official Match Thread Coventry City vs Southend United

[McNasty]

Blues: Bentley; White (c), Rea, Barrett, Coker; Worrall, Timlin, Leonard, Atkinson; Hunt, Mooney

Substitutes: T. Smith, Wordsworth, Prosser, Payne, Weston, McLaughlin, Pigott

That will do for me, but a bit harsh on Prosser maybe. That is a pretty serious bench tonight so the starting boys will need to be right up to the mark or off they will come. Hunt and Mooney hopefully fully fit, we shall see.

Least we have a poacher playing alongside Hunt to get on the end of all his flick ons. Atkinson on the wing always baffles me.

 

[mattitouk]

Pleased to Barrett in the starting line up, I think his experience will come into effect here

 

[Streaky]

Think that's tough on Luke, but guess area is right footed and gives a better balance to the back 4

Think its just to make the midfield a bit more solid.

O'Neil not even on bench - is he not match fit!!

And he's a grafter, what we need

 

[Ricey]

Decent line up and a decent bench. I'm feeling confident tonight I think we might just nick this one.

Unless he is injured, this signing makes even less sense than when they first signed him. At that time, I made a post that right-back was not a position we were particularly crying out for. He is only here for one month - can't see him starting a game (and, judging by tonight, I don't think he will even make the bench) while he is with us.

 

[Jam_Man]

We might not be crying out for a right back, but he can cover both full back positions so he is worth having.

People were complaining we didnt have a big squad, now we have more than 18 players some will have to sit out some games, and tonight we dont need a fullback on the bench.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

On a totally unrelated note ....De Gea has left MUFC...

If he is only here for a month, he has another maximum 3 games before his loan spell ends and he won't go straight from being out of the squad tonight to starting against Peterborough on Saturday. So unless White/Coker get injured, can't see what benefit it was to get him for so short a period. If it had been a six-month loan, there could feasibly have been the opportunity for him to get a run in the team. I still feel it was a strange signing.

 

[RHB]

I'm risking Blues Player tonight, it's working and the quality is good so far.

 

[turkishm]

wordsworth on the bench again, is he just not putting enough in to his game for PB liking.

 

[RHB]

600-700 away fans the commentators reckon. Good turn out if true.

It's called getting in cover, the transfer window closes tomorrow including loans and until the loan window opens again we need cover...

 

[BrettieAngell]

come on Southend!
