Steve How Hard? Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Coventry v Derby Sat 06/03/21 15:00pm KO Venue: St Andrews Trillion Trophy Stadium After a Taff night in Cardiff which of the players will be sent to Coventry for this one?(ok it's technically in Birmingham but that didn't sound quite right).Back to the tried and tested back four is a must for me. Too much tinkering in that department contributed to our downfall in Wales. Wisdom and Clarke after being rock solid in recent weeks both had poor displays. Of course they weren't alone in being below par so there will be a few players sweating on whether they'll make the starting lineup in this crucial game. I think the only man guaranteed a place is our now talismanic striker CKR. Can he reignite our Wooo factor? Thoughts please.

DCFC Kicks Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Arguably our 2 best performances of the season vs Swansea and Birmingham were in a 4-3-3 (that was with Bielik though). Can we please just put out a solid, tested team (especially defence) instead of a completely different lineup each game.

HorsforthRam Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Fozzy in for Buchanan; the latter seems to look for a backwards pass on any occasion.

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I just got a nagging feeling we'll lose this one just because we rested players and expected to lose against Cardiff. It's just the way it always sodding goes. It's one of the reasons I never blamed Wassall for putting the full team out vs Ipswitch that time (I know what happened to George happened, but hindsight is always 20/20) Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/36968-coventry-v-derby-match-day-thread/#findComment-2075303 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Mick Coop Mo Konjic Nick Pickering Barry Powell What is there not to like about Coventry? I remember a Frank Stapleton debut and a 3-0 win fondly. A much needed win as I remember. As for this game, who knows. Maybe playing your best players in their proper positions and not spending the game pissing about at the back might be a good starting point.

Been lots of times to see the Rams away at Coventry, both at Highfield Road and the Ricoh....good and bad memories. The 6-1 loss when Brown got the worst vitriolic abuse I have ever witnessed stands out. I have watched Coventry a bit this season. Play at a high tempo and create chances. O’Hare is a young player who stands out. We will need to be on our game to get anything out of it. Let’s hope we dispense with the tappy tappy passes around our area and play at a high tempo ourselves ?

I do feel for them with all they've been through over the last few years and they've always struck me as a club that's down to earth and unpretensious. Yes, everything went wrong with the Richo and it only "worked" finance wise if they packed out the ground in the PL year after year, but "a new stadium is the only way" was very much a trend in football at that time. Bit of an underdog club that managed to stick around the prem far longer than they had any right to and have had to survive some horrible trauma with SISU, some of the worst owners in football who aren't the crowd who ran blackpool.

DCFC1388 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Same result as our other trip to St Andrews will do. Expect Bird Waghorn Knight CKR & probably Forsyth all to come in. Marshall too if he is fit. Its a must not lose game for sure.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think they should revive their beautiful sky blue kit and chocolate away kit from the 70s. They should also be forced to pick players called Wallace and Ferguson up front at all times. Unless resting them in unwinnable games like Luton away of course.

brady1993 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 What I'd pick Roos* Byrne Wisdom Clarke Buchanan Bird Watson Shinnie/Knight Waghorn CKR Jozwiak *Assuming Marshall isn't fit The actual team is almost certainly the one that start against forest though in a 4231.
