It's the same set of players, with no manager, & most likely no new manager by the weekend, so less guidance, & hopefully any scouting they've done on us etc will have had a setback too. Put the same effort in as Tuesday & there's no reason we can't wipe the floor with these. I know it's looking slightly worrying given our record, & it obviously will end at some point, but I don't think it will be Saturday. UTV!

These Vale guys are the real deal if Coventry get owt theyll have earned it but conna help feeling its lambs to the slaughter

Up The Vale what a season of football its been already Many thanks to Bruno, Wiffa and the boys

Brown should come in to replace Grant, although I feel like Amoros deserves to be given a chance. I'll be happy with either for this game. Coventry might come refreshed and motivated after their manager has just gone, and despite their record it won't be a walk in the park. If our players turn up expecting them to just roll over they might be surprised. Give them a bit of respect but get at them from the off, as an early goal could drain any newly found motivation from their team.

They come to Boslem and get a result:angry:

 

It doesn't work like that

[PVFC764]

Well, hope the usual doesn't happen and Coventry under the new caretaker manager suddenly find their scoring boots. We always seem to come across teams doing this and the new boss/caretaker effect happens.

Tony Mowbray has spoken to the Coventry Telegraph following his resignation from the Sky Blues.

 

"I came to get this club out of this league and it looks like that’s not possible," he said.

 

I think he's put them in a great position to get out of this league!!!!!!!

[Santa]

Cov are quite a young side aren't they?

 

It would be interesting to see if they have it in them to bounce back as many teams with caretaker managers do.

 

The first goal will be important.

People keep saying this but I can't remember it happening, ang examples?

[Fosse69]

Why should we fear anyone at home? We have beaten the league leaders and one of the promotion favourites, complacency is the only obstacle to another win. The only positive for Cov could be that Mowbray lost the dressing room in the close season, and now they will raise their game. So it is upto Bruno and all the team to treat them with full respect, and whip the goals in for another home victory.

[Biddulph_PV]

Damn it!!!!!!! This always seems to happen to us. You can almost guarantee us dropping points on Saturday. I'll take a point now.

[valefan16]

I would point out that Mowbray took over Coventry just before we played them at their place in 14/15... everyone feared a beating and we promptly beat them 3-2. No excuses we should be winning this with our home form.

[Houston Valiant]

Calm down lads, the Vale are in top form at home. Without taking too much for granted , I think the Vale have enough to beat Coventry on Sat. 3-1 for me.

Hope so, I betting on it!😆

[The Wonder of You]

As long as we continue to play as we have been doing I cannot see us fearing anyone at home. Play our normal passing game and let them worry about us!
