Coventry City v Brighton & Hove Albion U21/23/40s Checkatrade Trophy Tuesday 10th Jan

[Taybha]

No matter what you may think of the competition we're still in it , was hoping to make it along to the game lift permitting and quite looking forward to it , the team will be interesting ,wonder if it's just too early to give Liam a run out , i assume Coventry will field their strongest possible squad and will see this as a excellent opportunity to get to wembley .

I'm actually enjoying this competition this season, and think it's great for our younger players to have the experience of playing against the senior teams of lower division clubs.

Would love to have seen more of it live, but the majority of games have been away from the Amex.

Russell Slade as well

Interesting that only four academy sides left of which only one is from the premiership. I hope we go for it

Interesting, but I'm not sure what one of their posters was wittering on about when he said their U23s were better than ours.

They arn't even in the Premier U23 League.

 

[Giraffe]

I really can't get excited about this. Can see why league one and league two teams don't want the likes of us in it. But equally can see the devlopment opportunity for our U23's. But in terms of wanting to do well in it, I couldn't care less.

Excellent news.

I only live 15 minutes or so from the Ricoh but I'm not sure I can be bothered. The ground is soulless enough at the best of times.

As for the team I'd think that Ince gets a game as does Rosenior. Hunt, Maenpaa and Towell played in the last round but all 3 played 90 minutes on Saturday so who knows. Up front we look light. Given Manu (I think) and Harper have gone and Lua Lua must be banned I'm assuming James Tilley plays.

I'm going for an old school score of ''Brighton 0''

If I lived 15 mins from the ground I would DEF go!
