Move Klose 303 Posted February 26, 2021 8 of those should play every game when fit. Leaving the spot next to Skipp, on the left and no10 open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,225 Posted February 26, 2021 Would like to see Dowell start as Cantwell is injured, and Gibson if fit replacing Zimbo. Otherwise unchanged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted February 26, 2021 Vrancic and McClean will play instead of Dowell and Rupp. Placheta will get the nod if Onel unfit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 26, 2021 I would suspect that Gibson will be in the squad on Sunday as Omobamidele played today for the U23s. Marco played as well, so he is on his way back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 26, 2021 Away at Wycombe... I feel like we need the directness of PP as opposed to another technical player. Shame Onel is a doubt as it would have been ideal for him to come in and just rewards for a strong sub appearance last time out. I'd be tempted by getting Dowell in there over Vrancic from the start as well or possibly even putting Hugill in for a 2 man attack. In an ideal world, we take the game to them, overwhelm them with high tempo and press, grab a couple of early goals and then we can ease off a bit in the final 20 or so mins ready for the Brentford game. Clearly it is unlikely to transpire like that exactly but I think we are best going for it rather than being patient, I can see Wycombe trying to do us on set pieces and trying to slow the game down. Some PP inspired chaos should be too much for them to cope with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 239 Posted February 26, 2021 I would rest Skipp, Pukki and Beundia for this match. Time to rid the Beundia hoodoo with a few goals and a secure win.             Krul Aarons Hanley Zimbo Gianoulis      Kenny Sorrenson Rupp   Dowell               Plachetta                  Hugil  That team is easily good enough to beat Wycombe. Would really like to see Sorrenson start at the heart of the midfield as that is his preferred position.    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted February 26, 2021 That’s the sort of team and statement that usually backfires NWC! I’d rather play our best team as it gives us the best chance of picking up the points. Worry about Brentford, once we’ve done that. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly, but DF obviosly thinks these players are good enough or he wouldn't have signed them. If we can't beat the basement club with what is still a very strong team for this division then we will have a much bigger problem moving forward if/when promoted. Hugill, Rupp and Sorrenson were on excellent form before injuries/lost place - I'm sure they have played with similar scenarios in training. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,296 Posted February 26, 2021 Easy for me.... Krull, Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Giannoulis Skipp, McClean Buendia, Vrancic, Dowell Pukki Though I’d be happy to see Sorensen get a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,158 Posted February 26, 2021 There are other options on the left if Onel isn't fit. Idah has played there a few times including earlier this season and Mumba didn't play for the U23s today having done so last week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leave McLean alongside Skipp Yep true but without Cantwell, Vrancic has that ability to see and make that pass. Idah deserves a chance too. Interesting choices.

TheGunnShow 5,935 Posted February 26, 2021 Vrancic should come off the bench for me. Besides, it worked nicely against Wycombe last time. If I were Farke, and assuming everyone's been about average in training with no late injuries, I'd go with this. GK: Tim KRUL (Or Teemo Krul if you're a Coventry commentator) RB: Max AARONS RCB: Grant HANLEY (C) LCB: Ben GIBSON LB: Dimitrios GIANNOULIS (Or "the Greek lad" if you're a Coventry commentator) DCM: Oliver SKIPP DCM: Lukas RUPP LAM: Przemyslav PLACHETA CAM: Kenny MCLEAN RAM: Emiliano BUENDIA CF: Teemu PUKKI (wait, according to Coventry commentators he's in net as well, right? 😉 ) Subs: Nyland (GK), Zimmermann, Tettey, Sorensen, Vrancic, Hugill, Mumba, Hernandez (if fit), Dowell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 527 Posted February 27, 2021 Has PP really done enough to start? Again Vrancic just isn't doing enough to start, and yet gets the game time that Dowell isn't, so he can get up to speed. This would be ideal time to give Dowell a start, with Stieps the most likely candidate to take over now he's back. Think I'd prefer Mumba on left instead of PP. And if not Dowell in No.10 today, i'd push Mclean up there and slot Sorenson next to Skipp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
