Matthew me Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Not sure how seriously we took the Newport game, so assume Chelt will be our only pre season fixture Looks like Cov will play three games before taking us on. Is there a danger we're a bit undercooked? New manager, potentially new system, etc. I would of expected a replacement for Pompey asap, surely it wouldn't be that hard to arrange a game with the sags at short notice.... And it would surely be a confidence booster ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red DNA Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 It would be funny to thrash them but you know what a bunch of cloggers they are, we can’t afford to lose players early on. It’ll also be difficult to get them out of our stadium once they realise what they’re missing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 New manager but it's a system we used last season which only just finished. League one finished a lot earlier so it's natural that Coventry will have played more. I'd say we will probably arrange a behind doors friendly to replace pompey.

They didn't have one friendly against other sides and they looked sharper than alone. This. Man City looked the best team post lockdown & trained in house.

Baldyman Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Our last game was only 4 weeks ago and we’ve been back training for the last 2 weeks. Coventry haven’t kicked a ball since March !
