As the big game is now a week away, I figured I would get the thread started,
Form (all): Burton - WWLWWWWDWW Coventry - WWWDDLDWDW
Form @ home: Coventry - WWDDW Form away: Burton - LWLWW
Coventry are currently undefeated at home. This will clearly be a very difficult test for the players. We will be in front of c. 18k fans, and hopefully by taking 1-1.5k we can make it a good atmosphere for the boys and make them feel at home...!
Coventry have Walsall on Tuesday - so keep an eye out for how that one goes! Their training facilities are currently 'under water' so this could upset the applecart a little.
I will be attending, the previous two away games I've been to were Shrewsbury and Chesterfield, both with 90+ minute winners, I'd take the same right now .
As a side note... what do people like to see in these threads?

You have to think a draw would be a great result in this match for us
If we won it would be pretty incredible result
We can't keep expecting incredible results can we??

We never expect them - I think that's what makes them incredible.
We've popped Wigan & Gillingham's unbeaten home records soo.... maybe a third and final one for the season???

Coventry away big crowd to see little old Burton,how long before clubs realize we got a good team,Sorry i think the penny has dropped. A draw would be very good result and would keep them below us in the table,The pressure for results is now on.and hope of a promotion push is with us. Clough understands pressure and will help the squad over the next few months,Yes it is squeaky bum time. What a season tension but at the right end of the table

Coventry won't be easy, they have recently signed Peter Ramage, Joe Cole and Stephen Hunt. All very experienced ex-Prem players, all a tad older but we will need to be wary.

From personal experience of going to the Ricoh to watch the rugby a few times, if you're driving give yourself plenty of time even if you've pre booked parking because it's a bottle neck coming off the M6 and can be an absolute nightmare on match day.

I have interpreted the poll as what I think the result would be, not what I'd like it to be. Just to clarify.

Way off topic but it took me 4 hours to get home from there after watching coldplay a few years back. Its a nightmare to get out of if you park too close

A point would be just fine for me, both teams in very good form so it should be a cracking match

An away draw would be a decent result but we may just surprise them and take away there unbeaten home statistic, I have seen nothing to be scared of so far in this league.

I think Walsall are just about the best I've seen in opposition so far this season. I'll be interested to see how they fare tomorrow night at the Ricoh. Could be a good indicator of how strong Coventry are at this point.

Experienced Premier League referee Andre Marriner will be the man in the middle on Saturday.

Been looking forward to this one since we won promotion, so far the weather forecast for Sat is good so it should be a good day out, hopefully we will be enjoying a few celebratory Pedi's in the Robin Hood in Overseal on the way back. COYB Edit:- thanks Peacock for the car park link, all booked and raring to go.

Terraceman has picked up a back injury and looking doubtful for Saturday ! disastrous news, desperately want to go, got some tramadol to try and ease the pain. May have to have a late fitness test on Saturday morning and maybe pay on the gate. If I am fit would anybody be able to offer me a spare car space please ?

Careful with those tramadol, but they may just do the trick for Saturday. Wishing you the best. The car I'm in has 5 fans so sorry cannot offer you a lift, and we'll be parking at Christ the King. Cannot wait for this game, great venue and it's a big game. COYB!
