Match Coventry City v Tottenham Hotspur | Carabao Cup 3rd Round | Sept 18th | 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This is a really tough one for the manager to negotiate.

He has to rotate. We have a massive league game 2 and a half days later, and we also need to keep a pretty hefty squad happy..

However, if we go out of a cup and there's even a sniff that it's because we've prioritised the league... That is damaging.
Start with four or five changes leaving the big guns on the bench to come on if it goes Pete Tong and we need a guaranteed goal ……..


……oh! 🙈
 
Because of our defensive frailties I'd like to see a back 3 of Cuti, Drag and VDV.
Let our Udogie and Porro attack unfettered!
It won't happen because Ange is so set in his ways!
 
I live in Coventry and been to a few games so have some idea on them.

Sheaf is a big miss for them in CM, not sure he'll be back. Midfield has been their issue this season. Forward wise Haji Wright is a handful, Ellis Simms is a big guy, wants the ball to his feet. In defence they will try and play out the back, but pressure on them and they begin to panic. It'll be a tough game, they're no pushovers and Mark Robbins is a good manager, he'll have them up for this.



Vicario
Spence - Dragusin - Van de Ven - Davies
Gray
Bergvall - Deki
Odobert - Solanke - Moore​
A nice away trip, what's our allocation?
 
Some of us bought tickets to Qarabag. Whoops.

I've got to go to the Alkmaar game as I've promised the eldest he could go but I can't see me going to any of the others. Fortunately I don't have TNT so can avoid the others. Just looking through our fixtures and there's Palace away throughout the whole of September, October and November that I can try and avoid as either being at (being a ST holder) or have to face on TV (because I'm weak and will have to check the score). No idea on December as the TV picks havent been done yet.

Basically, there is too much football on television!
