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

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

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

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

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).

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.
