WOL only had 10 starters listed. I assume Bagan is in?

There has to be rotation with the number of games coming up, but only two of the front five would be first choice. The second half will be interesting - if we are still in the game!

Ralls, Doyle, Hugill on after 60/70 minutes at a guess. So long as we aren't 3 nil down by then, could be a good strategy. Never a dull moment with City. Maybe Barnsley away, first half.

[J R Hartley]

Not much creativity in there

What's Sam Bowen done so wrong to be nowhere near the first team after impressing under Mick?

Hmmmm. Indeed. If he’s not ahead of Eli King then hopefully for the sake of his own career he will move on in the summer.

A potential loss with that midfield

[jon1959]

Coventry have gone full strength.

[ccfcwelshlad]

Be interesting what team is put out tonight; I'd expect a fair few changes, can't go week in week out with same eleven when playing twice in a week for a sustained period.

I dont think can change the defence too much but imagine midfield and upfront will see a fair few.

Not surprised. Hopefully we've got ourselves a tinkerman.

[Vindec]

Going back to our old ways with no creativity in midfield. The promising Doyle/Ralls partnership is on the bench WTF. And Watters, whose general play is non existent, is on in place of our two new promising strikers. WTF again.

[CrackityJones]

Weird call to change that many and not start Ikpeazu

[J R Hartley]

Coventry have gone full strength.

How rude of them

[Citizen's Nephew]

How rude of them

😂

[Citizen's Nephew]

The crowd is measured in phone signal strength. That’s how I ‘m managing to post! Think there’s a fella just turned up with a whippet.

Let’s give king a chance before writing him off eh?

[Dorcus]

Hugely disappointing lineup. In fact Hugilly disappointing in the striker department.

He probably means Vaulks, not King.

[willo1927]

Ralls only just back from Injury
Hugill and Doyle haven't played much football recently.
Probably thinks 3 games in a week too much for them

[Joe Gillis]

Vaulks, oh Lord.

[dembethewarrior]

Vaulks, oh Lord.

At least Bacuna isn't on as well.

Little positives.

As for the rest, rotation, can't be easy playing weekends, midweek, weekends game after game..

Call it a squad for a reason.

Support the boys.

I'm not sure how Ipkeazu could be tired?

[2b2bdoo]

I think rotation was expected after the tired performance. Surprised to see Watters mind.

[Parti Mellow]

Any live streams?

[Vindec]

Getting overrun in midfield. Very predictable but unless something is changed we will lose this.

[Joe Gillis]

If the first 15 minutes are anything to go by we've conceded the midfield to them already, if you leave out your two best midfielders then you're asking for trouble

[J R Hartley]

Nice player that O Hare. Sort of player we are sadly lacking.

Agree.....awful....only one team going to score.....

[fugsyphil]

Why do sky give divers so much slack when cheating for pens.
Both were yellow card offences for me yet they are trying to claim possible penalty shouts
