Parker clearly doesn't rate Benson if he can't get in ahead of Koleosho. Shame because he's exactly who we need if we are behind to give us some magic

More surprised he doesn't get in ahead of Redmond to be honest.

Coventry play with a high line so hoping for a Foster hat trick

I'd prefer to see Redmond coming on over Koleosho tbh. He's had plenty of chances and offered very little.

Given he’s rated Benson enough to put him on the bench for several weeks now maybe he’s picked up an injury. Given his injury record that seems a lot more plausible than saying the manager does not rate him.

Clever from Parker to play speed against a high line defence.

Foster vs Thomas.......let us hope it goes to plan

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 11:50 am

Redmond certainly can’t offer any less than Koleosho. Could be a vital player during the run in.

Fingers crossed for 3 points.

We need that all important early goal today. Watching Lampards pre match talk, he would be more than happy with a draw so we'll have to stretch their defence right from the off. Relying on Fosters pace today and of course the wizardry of Edwards. Anthony getting more hungry for goals each game which is good.

Foster instead of Flemming? Bonkers! How many goals has Foster bagged all season? I’d play Ashley ahead of him.

Sometimes you have to take in to account who you're playing. Coventry typically defend with a high line meaning Foster with his pace could be very handy.

Plus, 3 games over the week, not going to play the same eleven each time

We need to also bare in mind we will need to start with Foster in the last game of the season, so starting him up front rather than wide in a few games before hand will hopefully get his eye in

All about bottle now, we know we have the ability. So far we have stayed strong, fingers crossed we keep it up.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:16 pm

Not that I am expectant, but the Leeds lunchtime kickoff form is dreadful. Something like 3 wins in 13.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:16 pm

Tough game today, Cov have lost 1 of their last 13 home games. Expecting them to have more possession than us and we’ll try to keep shape and hurt them in transition.

Their form in general has been good. They have been easily dealt with by both Leeds and Sheff Utd though

Yep although had some key players missing for both. Fully fit squad today (except keeper).

I wonder if their keeper could be a weak link today

Offside surely

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:37 pm

Only a mile offside, can see how he missed it

Cazaris · Post by **Cazaris** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

Clear offside, absolute joke

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

Not even close to onside.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

Offside?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

Looked well offside, that.

Greekclaret · Post by **Greekclaret** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

Definitely offside.

SouthamptonClaret · Post by **SouthamptonClaret** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

Wasn't even close, miles offside

Goliath · Post by **Goliath** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

That was absolutely blatant on first view without a replay. Utterly disgusting from the linesman. If he can't see that then he shouldn't be in the job.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

How is that not offside?

Venkys4eva · Post by **Venkys4eva** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 12:38 pm

VAR would of ruled that out

Could it be that Roberts, on the deck, has his foot too far back?
