    Thoughts for Coventry

    Heggebo - Dike or Maja? Is there much to decide between these duds?

    Midfield will be key to stop Franks pacey bunch! Do we keep with Molumby and Mowatt?

    Do we keep with Price?

    Gilchrist instead of Imray?

    The best change I would make would be Morrison instead of that clown 🤡

    Let?s hope Frank rests some players! Jed won?t manage Saturday and Tuesday FFS so maybe give Bostock another opportunity.

    Not seen Patel much at games this year is there a reason?

    Has to be Heggebo or Dike up top because they at least win headers and put themselves about.

    Molumby and Mowatt have to play, we have a little bit of control in there when they do.

    I think Gilchrist has to play ahead of Imray, Imray is just too much of a defensive liability.

    I would play Price too, because I think he gives us some legs in the middle and he runs a lot. Perhaps a goal is what he needs to boost his confidence.

    I would play Jed and Jimoh on the wings.

    Not sure what else you can do with this squad. We've got to eek out 3-4 wins and a few draws to be safe. If we keep it tight, we give ourselves a chance. We've managed to do that last couple of league games.

    I would go with most of what you say 123 and like you, not sure who I would play up front. If Johnstone is fully fit I would play him in preference to Wallace though.

    I agree with you LB. Johnston whilst a bit off form needs to at least start. Johnston poses a threat and can run whereby Wallace looks knackered after 30 minutes. How we have declined when Wallace was on the decline 2 years ago when Fellows was a different class and now starting FFS.

    I would go for fiat footed Heggebo up front as at least he holds the ball up where Dike would be better off at Barnsley again!

    That said depending on the next three games we could be on our travels to Barnsley next season. Good Northern pies sold there so at least Myhill will be happy 😭

    Seems a good shout to me too, my only caveat being that -as others have said- if Mikey is fit enough, I would certainly play him even if rotated with Jed. Depending on how Jimbo-Aloba does, I'd also consider giving Bostock a run out. Hopefully Campbell will be back from his injury too to boost our defensive options.

    Well, so far they put 3 behind Middlesbrough, a Boro that put 3 behind us? So, not overly optimistic?

    Just looking at the stats for the Coventry Middlesbrough game as didn’t see the match…

    Shots Cov 10 (4 on target) Middles 13 (4 on target)
    Possession Cov 30%. Middles 70%
    Fouls. Cov 17. Middles 12
    Corners. Cov 3. Middles 2

    Seems Coventry were not really on the front foot, but clearly did enough when it mattered. Mason’s Moments Maybe

    Notwithstanding, I finding it difficult to positive…where are you Soulman buddy - help

    Good morning Paul, I hope you and SWMBO are well. Coventry pressed well and were more clinical in front of goal than Borough but other than that they weren't anything particularly special. As for positives ahead of Saturday........ anything can happen in a game of football involving West Bromwich Albion. COYB .
