Our worst performance last season was this fixture although we put that right in the home game.

It looks like we are better on the road than at home, but the Sky Blues won't be a pushover this season.

1 - 1

I will be there, missed Forest yesterday. Still haven't been to home league game (weddings and having covid reasons). If we get 3 points here it will be huge. Coventry look a good side this season. Not sure of what team i would pick, but what i do think is Bacuna and Ralls should not be shoe-horned into the team if fit. Would be great to have Giles back in. However, Moore and Colwill should start.

I woudn't change the starting line up, other than Giles for Bowen. Collins is doing a load of the donkey work and is unlucky not to have got a goal yet. Moore still can't be match fit and should be eased back in as an impact player when the opposition is tiring. Collins and Harris will have pulled them every which way, so the sight of a fresh Kieffer coming on after an hour would not be good psychologically for most defences.. Just at the moment, I would use Colwill the same way, as he and Moore appear to be developing an understanding.

That's the problem we prefer it when teams attack us and that's how our play is suited but when we are at home and having to break teams down we struggle hence why the home form isnt very good.

Agree with this. When you have a performance like you did from the subs yesterday then understandably there will be fans wanting them to start next game. But playing them from the start doesn’t necessarily work does it.

And you really want to have players on the bench that are capable of coming on and changing the game. At the moment Moore, Colwill and Harris are the three that can do this.

It’s all about game management isn’t it. I think MM is still working out the most effective way to use the squad.
