[Tredman]

Pretty much the only team we can put out

 

[Lycan]

Yeah that seems about right to me. Dawson/Bueno the only one which could change.

That's the team for me.

 

[Kenny]

So close to Wembley I can smell the fear...

 

[1986]

Santi should start I think even if Dawson is fit .

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm not sure I'd move from the back three tbh, it needs more work judging by the first half on Saturday.

Sa
Kilman - Santi - Toti
Semedo - Gomes - Lemina - Bueno
Ait-Nouri - Sarabia
Fraser

Fraser

You know he'll play Doherty if we do that, don't you. So I'm vetoing it.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

I think Cunha will be a surprise starter.
Bellegarde, Neto, Hwang, all out.
Not heard long term for Dawson, just that he failed a fitness test on a Sore Groin.

I would expect him to play as well.

Sa
Killman-Dawson-Toti
Semedo-Gomes-Lemina-Ait Nouri
Sarabia-Fraser-Cunha

May even see Cunha, and Sarabia in the middle behind Fraser.

Worse case scenario
Cunha, and Dawson don't make it

Sa
Killman-Bueno-Toti
Semedo-Gomes-Lemina-Bueno
Sarabia-Fraser-Ait-Nouri

 

[Stan Hullis]

Doherty will be starting, might as well get used to the idea now.

 

[The Bear]

If Cunha is fit enough to start then it'd be him Sarabia and RAN up front IMO.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

You know he'll play Doherty if we do that, don't you. So I'm vetoing it.

Doherty clouding your judgement once again

I'd much rather play 3 atb with Doherty than 4atb and see us surrender the chances we did to Fulham in the first half again.

 

[Kenny]

Perfect chance for GO to help Hugo B have an impact between now and the end to the season as he has predicted

 

[lemonjelly]

I'd be surprised if Cunha came straight back into the starting line up tbh. Would expect GO to re-introduce Cunha from the bench if he is ready for this game. Far more likely he'll be available for the Villa game on the 30th.

Coventry aren't Fulham though are they...they're below Albion who barely laid a glove on us in a natural leveller of a game.

I'm not going to apologise for not wanting to spend my Saturday afternoon watching Matt Doherty trundle around, I've already done that literally hundreds of times and I don't like it.

 

[Alan]

I'd guess Dan's team but maybe an extra kid in the XI somewhere. Noha maybe.

 

[The Bear]

With the whole 3 vs 4 atb.

We didn't really switch to 3 atb until late in the 2nd half against Fulham did we if at all? When Doc came on.

So we obviously adjusted things at half time and upped our tempo which stopped Fulham getting loads of chances and getting round us down the channels.

If we can play more like the 2nd half against Fulham I've got no problem with playing 4 atb against Cov. I think I'd stick Toti at LB though and keep RAN further forwards. We seemed better with Toti on the pitch as he knows how to come in narrower to make another CB when RAN drops back (if needed).

 

[lemonjelly]

eh? yes, we were 3 at the back for ages before doc came on. as @Lycan mentioned, the start was more semedo/santi/kilman than anything else. And once Toti came on it was absolutely 3atb.

Don't ask me why, but i have a sneak feeling we may see something of mini mario this weekend.

Didn't really even warm up on Saturday, I don't think he's anywhere near but we'll see.
