Coventry 1-1 Walsall

[ccfctommy]

Should be a cracking game this as we have this and Burton at home on Saturday.

Our last game was 5-0 away to Crewe, so I'll imagine TM will play the same team. But we have signed Andy Rose and Peter Ramage (he could start) since then.

I'll imagine Joe Cole may start after last weeks game, will be interesting to see him and Armstrong and Maddison together if selected.

How many will Walsall bring, Saddlers fans?

 

[GFC4EVA]

Draw please

 

[SaddlerJonny]

I imagine we will be unchanged from our game with Brentford bar Jason Demetriou coming in for Liam Kinsella if he recovers from his injury in time.

I can see Cov winning this one pretty comfortably.

Cole has to start for me.

Be very harsh to drop Phillips after his last performance, too.

 

[ccfctommy]

Cannot drop him after Crewe.

We are always shit at the Ricoh. I will never forget my feelings at the end of the 5-1 defeat a few seasons back. That was 15 without a win. I was close to giving up football forever. Coventry are scoring for fun and have an impressive team, having had a huge game Saturday whilst Coventry rested, I'd massively take a point and look towards our games in hand to push on.

The fact this is a Tuesday now instead of a Saturday and people some people will have chosen a Saturday in London after Brentford, with us taking 1,600 there, I'm thinking we may struggle for 750-1000.

Shame this wasn't a Saturday as we'd have nudged over 2k IMO.

I'd take a hard fought 1-1 right now.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

A win would be massive here. We've done quite well in regards to turning up for big games, especially at home, but it's obviously not going to be an easy game. Just hoping we don't get battered.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Run around tirelessly please Cov for 90 mins and wear yourselves out for Saturday if you don't mind......

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

1-1 me thinks

 

[AnotherSaddler]

1-1 me thinks

I'll be happy with that.

 

[WFC]

Looking forward to this!

Fuck knows on score line

We will, and then we rotate our big attacking squad.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Good for you. Still not scared though. Bigger they are they harder they fall. And that's how we like it.

Think you will win tomorrow as you are on a roll. Should be a cracking game between two of the best teams in the division.

 

[Saddlerrad]

I'll be happy with that.

Me too, everyday of the week. For me it's the biggest game of the season, we probably will (with Coventry on fire, a woeful record at the Ricoh and them having not played on Saturday), but we could really do without losing. If we do that, I'll be over the moon. It would also give us confidence to take into a marginally easier set of fixtures (on paper of course) with Blackpool and Fleetwood to come in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Thing is whoever wins or loses this in the grand scheme of things, nothing is decided...so it's not a disaster for either party.
would imagine both will be challenging for top 2 spots in May and are the two best sides I have seen this season by some distance.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Draw please

Agreed

 

[THE TERRACEMAN]

A blood n snot kick up required with loads of injuries, bookings and sending offs for both sides with the game ending 8 a side and 0-0 would do nicely.
In my opinion Coventry and Walsall have been the best 2 sides we have played this season and I wouldn't like to predict an outcome, obviously a draw is better for us. Looking forward to our game there on Saturday although I am doubtful for the trip with a back injury and face a Saturday morning fitness test !

 

[Geosaddler]

Shame this wasn't a Saturday game in terms of attendance but really looking forward to this. I've given up on predicting Walsall scorelines so no idea on the outcome. One thing is for sure this is gonna be a really tough game. We've generally upped our performances against the 'good' sides this season so who knows.

Any advice on parking lads? I'm hearing mixed report on parking in the Arena Shopping Centre. (some are saying its ok and nobody has checked for years and others saying fines are dished out unless you spend in the shops etc?). Other than that I was toying with parking in the car park on Winding House Lane?

I've paid a fiver to park on the Winding House Lane car park, if you book via the ricoh arena website, you'll need a printer to print your ticket.

Have you payed online for the winding house lane car park? We usually (and were planning) to just turn up and give them a fiver.

Parking in the Tesco car park will be fine, especially for night games. I can't remember the lat time they checked, but don't think they've bothered since we went down.

Hope the drainage is good at the Ricoh it's binning it down here and it's all moving in that direction with more forecast later.
