v Coventry City (a) - 18/10/25

[MarkBRFC]

I imagine we'll be at least 2 down before we have even settled into the game.

[Elrovers]

Alebiosu won our POTM. Not a surprise tbh, he’s been absolutely outstanding and definitely the best pick of the new signings. Has been consistent throughout and hopefully his form can continue.

i'm hoping for a win by 2 goals and our season takes off....the possibility is in this squad 

[No nay never no more]

Why is there a full block you can't buy tickets for that divides the away fans?

Never take many there these days but it's usually midweek i suppose.

They are separating the happy clappers from the pro LT non clappers 🤣

We are underperforming compared to our xg. Interesting that Derby are actually over performing - lowest xg in the division.

I'm going. Although I'm sure that away end holds around 3k.... Isn't a cat in hells chance we sell that many. 1500 or so.

I know a few pubs that'll be ok for away fans in the city centre if you want to know.

As a local tip, find yourself a desi pub and have a mixed grill

Any actually close to cbs? There's a few dotted about 

[arbitro]

I understand Rovers are playing the Dingles in a friendly on Friday morning at their training ground. Hopefully some of the fringe players will get some game time.

 

[RoversTilliDie]

Coventry have averaged 3 goals a game in there opening 9 league and cup matches. A tall order this one, I'll be surprised if we get anything out of this one. There were promising signs against Stoke. Hopefully we can give a good account of ourselves against Coventry, and get something from the following 2 home games.

Is it wise with our flimsy squad, last thing we want our injuries.

[Oldboy skyblue]

Hi Cov fan here

There are bars in the fan zone outside the ground , for the last 2 home games all pints have been £3.60 , gets very busy.

Dhillons on the ind estate next to the ground is welcoming and also charged £3.60 

As for pubs close by , there are a few on Longford Rd , normally home supporters but respectful away fans are usually welcome

[Ossydave]

Everything points to a pasting really doesn't it.....

Type of game we somehow win against all odds, then lose 12 in a row after it 🤣

This fixture and the ones following look grim, you'd have to say quite bizarrely/worryingly that Sheff Utd looks about the most winnable.....we won't win it mind.

Yes please. First time going to Coventry and will be getting the train so city centre options would be great. Cheers
