Slow, you’d think being the size he is he’d be the man to send up when we get a corner ( and win everything) but the man cannot jump 

 

Him and Soumare kick to the curb should be no where near the starting 11 

I’m being perfectly real…. We clearly see two different players…

 

I see one that hadn’t really dropped a defensive howler this season and dictates play from the back in a way few, if any, other championship defenders can 

 

You see what you see

We’ve not looked fluid but who have Cov played that is decent or likely to be up there. They’ve dropped points against Norwich, Hull and Oxford. We may have lost a few but still, our side beats theirs. 
 

Get the right players on the pitch Marti. Get the KP bouncing.

Personally think that Vestergaard is undroppable at the moment. He’s the only player breaking lines with his passes. We all know his limitations and what he doesn’t bring to the team, but we’ll have to live with those if we persist with the current line up.

 

If Winks plays then we might have more options and not be reliant upon our CB for creativity. Winks and/or James might give us the option of playing a CB whose job is just to defend and get the ball to the midfielders. 
 

I’m not overly worried by Vesty at this level. He’ll be frustrating at times but, on balance, he helps the team tick

[OntarioFox]

This is the most famous person to come out of Coventry in the past 20 years. We must not lose.

Faes is our best CB. It's just unfortunate he's a flappy armed prat with a Brian May perm.

He just won’t go straight with Winks and James will he?

 

Expect it to be Winks and Soumare for his height at least.

 

Still worried he will stick with Skipp given how vocal he’s been about how much he likes him

[Simonb]

Just go and win it. No messing about. We're the home team. 2-1 win and send them packing 

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Who gives a 💩about a club that has won the same as Wigan Athletic 😂

Also they constantly try to prefabricate a rivalry with us.  Like they do with Villa and Birmingham too.

 

They’re always go on about us on their forum whereas we never really talk about them - think we once had a thread about them that had about twelve replies.

 

😂😂😂

Well where I live there is a massive rivalry, Saturday is so important, my life will be a misery if it goes wrong

It’s only the Hinckley area that gives a 💩 though!

We've got to win this, mainly because I can't stand Frank Lampard

This sounds too much like Forest when they talk about us and I don’t particularly like it. It’s a local derby so it’s a big game.

I generally think downtown Leicester is the pits nowadays as a place to spend time, but I had the displeasure of ending up in Coventry city centre earlier this year and it made me realise - it could be so, so much worse. Imagine the Cantina from Star Wars, but with a lot more concrete and everyone is wearing roadmen puffa-jackets. Of the places I've travelled for football, only Walsall rivals it for sheer sketchiness and grey misery.

 

Not sure what the relevance is to the football, but just wanted to get it off my chest. I'm actually grateful that their toilet bowl of a ground is right on the edge of the city, because god forbid you actually have to spend time in that shithole before and after the match.

Must win, make the KP a fortress again.

[adejo92]

Winks, James & Ricardo start and we get 3 points.

 

Stick with the players we've used thus far, it could go either way.

 

I am liking Marti, but he has to start putting the right players in the starting line up.

 

He gets credit for making the right subs, but i feel his subs are only players that should be playing anyway, and should they have been playing from the start, he probably wouldn't be in the position where he needs to make the right substitutions to get us back into games.

I think the only reason Winks didn’t start on Sunday was because Marti didn’t want to mess too much with the team that beat Birmingham. I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t start next Saturday. James will probably start too, either alongside Winks or at number 10. With Ricardo it’s just a matter of how they want to manage his fitness - he’s a Rolls Royce in this division but one that needs very careful maintenance…
