Coventry City are unchanged for their home clash with Barnsley at the Ricoh Arena. With Joe Murphy starting in goal, Richard Keogh and Martin Cranie are continuing their partnership in central defence. Jordan Clarke and Cyrus Christie line up at left-back and right-back respectively. Oliver Norwood and Gary Deegan start in midfield with Carl Baker and Gary McSheffrey joining them. Alex Nimely and Clive Platt will continue to develop their understanding up front. Cody McDonald, Sammy Clingan and Nathan Cameron return from injury and are on the bench. Coventry City: Murphy (GK), Clarke, Christie, Keogh, Cranie, Deegan, Norwood, McSheffrey, Baker, Nimely, Platt. Subs: Dunn (GK), Clingan, Cameron, McDonald, Bell Barnsley: Steele (GK), McEveley, Edwards, Foster, Dawson, Davies, Wiseman, McNulty, Smith, Goldbourne, Tonge. Subs: Preece, Done, Dagnall, Cotterill, Gray
Jeez!!!! starting with 6 defenders. No wingers. So whats plan B Keef if we go a goal behind early (again)?
Have we lost this before we have already kicked off? Sorry but that starting 11 does not fill me with optimism of a team set out to win the game rather one that does not want to lose.
Digby dropped entirely, McEveley chosen yet again, Goldbourne out of position, McNulty out of position? Done Dropped, Davies on his own again, 6 defenders again. Make that 90 years coventry
It looks to me like it's a team set out to try to sneak our way up to 50 points by the end of the season.
I don't mind that, it looks a very possessive midfield with Korey Smith freed up, Wiseman & Goldbourne going wide. Looking forward to seeing how Dawson does, got a feeling in me watter about him- in a good way.
What's the system? ........................................Steele..................................................
