v Coventry City (a) - 18/10/25 - 15:00 KO

[...]

A big hill to climb for Vals squad. Coventry brushed aside Sheffield Wednesday this weekend and will be looking to continue their impressive start. 

I don't know where to begin in dismantling city

Coventry are one of very few teams in this division who look like the real deal. The difference between us and them is tragically vast these days, and the best we can realistically hope for is a smash and grab.

The problem is, such is our terrible start to the season, it feels like we really need to get something. Just cant see it.

I have a weird feeling that Rovers might just do that; come away with all 3 points whilst deserving none.

Then lose at home to Sheff Utd.

The international break might have just landed at the perfect time for us, to disrupt Coventry's current form. 

That's clutching at straws though really, if we are being honest. 

I think we're taking a humping here, 4-0 minimum.

[roverandout]

It's going to be a massacre.  Coventry 5 rovers 0

[Mercer]

Lampard has done a super job with them.

Quick and incisive football and look like they are scoring goals for fun.

The international break might stall their momentum a tad but this could be anything from 2 to 7 nil.

A hammering here might just finish us given fixtures to come before the end of November.

[J*B]

I’m going to go 14-0 to Coventry.

If we don't take a point or all 3 off sheff United it's goodnight Vienna

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Nothing for us there.

I have been to Coventry about 6 times from memory and my record is P6 L6. Yep, that's nul points out of 18

So why am I thinking of going again? Because it can't get any worse (can it?) and if we were somehow able to secure a point it will feel like a win. 

And of course this could be our last season in the Championship for some considerable time - so it will sad but poignant to see 2 clubs heading in opposite directions.

Rovers now remind me so much of Coventry City....when they were on the slide years ago.

Bogey team at the best of times and we rarely come out of international breaks without the handbrake still on.

Cov 3   Rovers  0

But we live in hope.

On a plus side are there any good away pubs close by

[simongarnerisgod]

scared by this game,the only victory we`ll get is if val and lampard come to blows,val would spark the smug **** out easily🙂

[joey_big_nose]

Probably should get easily beaten but this is the Championship where any result is possible at any time. 

I was really heartened to see how hard the team fought second half against Stoke. Made me a bit more positive.

Who would buy Blackburn Rovers? 

Let's not take inspiration from the opposition, flying high on and off the pitch with savvy commercials and rebuying previously sold club assets!

I think I'm similar.  I went with a Coventry supporting friend and sat in their end (sorry all) as they scored in the 98th was it after we led all game 

[norwichblue]

We never fucking beat these, even when it feels more “even” a match up, which it most certainly doesn’t feel like now.

Not sure how I’d set up, but I’d probably look at what Wednesday and QPR did, and not do that.

Dreading this one.

Mind you, Boro were winning+scoring for fun last season and we went up there and got a win. Who knows.
