Very much the business end of the season for JD now.
The Sky Blues arrive in Town after a much needed win and will have 850 fans roaring them on.
By contrast Colchester will be buoyed by their performance against the Millers. A clean sheet and a point against one of the form teams in the Division always very welcome.
The fixtures of late have not been kind to us Northern Exiles. Indeed my next match will not be until Notts County at the end of the month.
But I will be able to see the last three games of the season; Crewe, Brentford and Walsall. Let us hope that the league position is clearer than last season, we do not want any last game dramas at the Bescot!
JD is likely to stick with a similar starting XI against Coventry;
Walker
Wilson Magnus Eastman Dickson
Wright Bean
Massey Sears Watt
Ibehre
Subs:
Cousins, Sesay, Olufemi, Eastmond, Morrison, Vose, Bonne
The improving weather will surely help the pitch; my biggest concern is the lack of grass covering the sand and mud. In truth the pitch has been poor for some time. Yes I know that rainfall has been excessive, almost biblical proportions but Oldham and Carlisle surfaces were immaculate and this must have an impact upon JD’s passing game.
We now play Saturday, midweek, Saturday through to 5 April and it would be great to welcome Drey Wright back soon, leaving only Josh Thompson on the recovery table.
Coventry played very well at Sixfields earlier in the season. Their problems both on and off the field are clearly hampering their chances. Let us send them back to Coventry with an away defeat.
Enjoy the game.
Up the U’s
PS if we win almost every game, we can still manage sufficient points to achieve a top six finish, incredible but true!

Play-off's back on Pete?
Good news is that I am out of the country for a few weeks so a "hatful" of points due.
Back in time for Notts County hopefully.

Same again for the U's today, but worrying sign is that Jabo still missing from the bench.
Sears strikes early chasing a through ball down the left to slot home. A repeat down the right twenty minutes later sees the U's double their lead when Massey scores with a one to one with the visitors keeper. The U's look comfortable coming up to half time, but Wilson scores from the acutest of angles leaving the U's a tighter second half than expected.
A workman like performance in the second half sees the U's home, and show some resilience and composure, although Coventry have the best chance to level in injury time .
Victory was vital after picking up a point last week, so more of the same also required next, to avoid get involved in the lower reaches of the table.
Special mention to the defence which has looked stronger has the season progresses, and Morrison who did sterling work upfront with little reward. |  |
