I think the team will be Offiah in for Pol, Armstrong for Thor and Jebbison in for Smith.

Even George Hodgson said that Lindsay looked dead on his feet…I’m hoping PH is brave enough to change things even though he doesn’t like messing with the 3.

The central CB spot is the least taxing position for the outfielders when it comes to needing to rest a player, and there wasn't any midweek game, so unless there was actually something wrong with him, I can't see Lindsay missing out despite having a bad game.

Haji Wright will probably be back in playing off the left with Simms up top, Mason-Clark off the right unless Sakamoto will be back, so he'll probably want Storey, Lindsay and Hughes as the three.

I think it is evident so far this season that the back 3 when all are fit is Storey, Gibson, Hughes and without Gibson it is Storey, Lindsay, Hughes so can’t see him changing this anytime soon and use Pol and Offiah for the right hand side and Small and Vuk for the left interchanging so none get burnt out

I do think Offiah will get used at RCB at some points, as that's where he sees him playing and where he should be playing, but it'll probably be when Andy is back to full fitness and Potts is back in the squads that it starts to happen.

I imagine PH will want to get him minutes in there so he can get experience playing there to help develop him in the right spot so he can become a main starter.
 
Coventry prior to yesterday had 5 Players on 4 Yellows.

I can't remember who the 5 were except for Torp.

Grimes and Eccles got booked. Torp didn't play yesterday.
 
Predicting line-ups is never what you might call failsafe but like others I would expect Armstrong to come back into the centre of midfield and Jebbison to start upfront with Thordarson who didn't play as poorly yesterday as some would maintain and Smith to give way. Otherwise the same starting eleven as Saturday would not surprise me with Valentin and Small starting on the flanks since Offiah is not a wing-back and Vukcevic is unlikely to be pitched straight back in. The really important factors, though, will be that both Devine and Dobbin are on top form - when they are we can something against anyone in this division.
 
Just had a Quick Look on their forum.
Asante out long term.
Torpe and Japanese fella might or might not play, both were out in Saturday.
Some issues about Wright??

Do we kick em while they are down or will we be on the end of a reaction following their defeat at the Tractor Boys.

I think we may come good and give them an unexpected trashing….continue their bad run.

This is the Championship.

Please….
 
Also from their message board.

‘Let’s just go and hammer Preston. They are distinctly average. Nothing to worry about.

Time to ramp up the volume at Deepdale under the lights.

I thought Armstrong stopped moving properly after scoring. I hope I am wrong.
Born pessimist!

You are sadly correct, but hopefully it was just Armstrong being cautious. I thought before his goal he wasn't steaming around the pitch anyway, but it was noticeable afterwards that the situation really had to necessitate a bit of a run, otherwise he was walking or lightly jogging.
 
Watched Cov a few times and they play a very high line and are quite susceptible to pace in behind. I think with Jebbo and Dobbin up top we can cause them plenty of issues. Think we'll struggle to deal with their pace and neat passing on the edge of the box though, can't see us keeping them out.

Think it'll be a high scoring, end to end game and hoping for a win but expecting 2-2 or 2-3.
