I know I’ve mentioned it on a few individual threads, but I can’t believe I’m the only person in this boat on here (be it regular poster or lurker!). I’m running the London Marathon on Sunday and with my now confirmed start time of ~11:00, it’s probably unrealistic to think I’ll make a 3:30 KO...

Usually I agree, there are massively over the top extreme reactions on here, especially when things go wrong. And tbf being a football supporter is an emotive thing. However, today any negative reaction is justified. We’ve been absolutely horrendous and deserve the loss. Being here is even worse.

I’m not staying around to clap this shit at the end. I usually always stay after regardless of result, but we’ve been that bad. Players haven’t turned up. Two games in a row.

It’s early and won’t happen but HT: Eccles > Torp Lati > Taveres

Not sure it’s entirely on them, they have zero protection. Midfield offering nothing offensively or defensively.

It was coming. They started with no confidence and we let them build. MVE a good option, but he isn’t a winger. Prefer MVE RB and give Taveres another go RW. They have so much space to attack it’s crazy.

Fair play, but you’d be annoyed if you paid for one.

Digbeth is great for ale bars, but it’ll full of home fans. So I think we’re either staying central or going further afield and then Ubering close. There’s usually an official away day pub announced, but I’m not on Twitter.

Not sure you mean that Pete. I do the ‘night shift’ so not had a proper night sleep in 4.5 years, as one of the kids wakes up at least once a night, every night. On top of a stressful job, social commitments etc. So I am constantly tired. Pretty sure most parents are in the same boat. Yet it...

In theory this should be a fantastic Saturday for me; Birmingham game in the afternoon followed by a concert at the Institute in the evening. However, I’ve got the marathon next weekend so I shouldn’t really be having a heavy day tomorrow, meaning my plan is to be as sensible as I can. And of...

Anything more in this? As in made it clear in an unprofessional way (either of them)?

It’s a real shame his Coventry career looks to be going out on a whimper. He’s at risk of leaving a bitter taste with fans too, a la Hamer as opposed to the Vik way of leaving. Whether intentional/consciously or not (and I think likely not), his performances are below par and not influencing...

Agree. Too many times this season we’ve shot ourselves in the foot with stupid, basic mistakes. We cut them out with experience next year and we are challenging for autos.

That is shite from Wright. He’s so inconsistent it’s massively frustrating.

Any replays of that? Wright seemed pretty adamant it was a pen.
