Coventry City v Brighton & Hove Albion (Official Thread)

[perseus]

The worst kit I ever seen was when Coventry turned up at the Goldstone all looking like dog turds.

I can't believe any kit could be worse than the pink chewit wrapper away kit with NOBO plastered across it.

Hawsey thinks Martin is on the bench instead of Kuipers.

Though team news not yet released.

What's wrong with Kuipers, Chaigneau and Sullivan ?

Is that because the 'big dutchman'* is going to play as the target man today?

Much worse. Ghastly! The pink kit was just silly.

Robinson in for Reid dropped to bench according to SSN so Jake and OGH up front?

Kuipers does not travel

Robinson Recalled At Coventry

Mark McGhee has recalled Jake Robinson to the starting line-up this afternoon for the clash with Coventry at the Ricoh Stadium.

The 19-year-old striker will partner Gary Hart in attack, with Seb Carole switching to the right of midfield. Paul Reid drops to the bench.

Elsewhere Chris McPhee's performance for the reserves in midweek has earned him a place among the substitutes.

Adam Hinshelwood is also involved for the first time since rupturing his cruciate ligament in March last year.

Goalkeeper Michel Kuipers did not travel; 18-year-old Richard Martin has been recalled from his loan spell at Kingstonian to provide cover on the bench.

Coventry make one enforced changed from the side that beat Hull 2-1 in midweek; Andrew Whing replaces the injured Richard Duffy, who is ruled out with a knee injury.

Albion: (4-4-2) Henderson; El-Abd, McShane, Butters, Lynch; Carole, Carpenter, Hammond, Frutos; Hart, Robinson. Subs: Martin (GK), Hinshelwood, Kazim-Richards, McPhee, Reid.

Coventry: (4-4-2) Fulop; Whing, Williams, Page, Hall; Scowcroft, Wise, Doyle, McSheffrey; Adebola, John. Subs: Ince (GK), Morrell, Shaw, Hutchison, Impey.

Referee: Uriah Rennie

Pleased with that change, Robinson up front and Carole on the wing could hopefully bring back some of the pact counter attacking stuff from earlier in the season.

Kuipers will probably be going out on loan at some point next week then.

Probably the team I would have picked. Maybe CKR for Robinson or Hart in the starting line-up. McPhee just because of his hatrick.
Kuipers is assumed to be injured

[Lord Bracknell]

Jake on his own upfront? Or with OGH?

 

[Bigtomfu]

Nice Ground- has an air about it that makes it different to most other airfix kit stadiums.

Isn't OGH the target man ?

Lee Barnard (Spurs) would be a scoop!

 

[Albion Edd]

I think its good that Robinsons starting, but why drop Reid, he's been playing well, whereas Chippy and Hammond have been poor recently surely one them of them should be dropped.

I suspect McGhee has had a disagreement with the stupid ausie drongo.

Forecast: 1-1 draw. Anything more will be a bonus. Anything less and who gets the blame?
