Fair play to Luton, traveled in numbers on a horrible day.

How come the naughty corner is empty, staying for an extra pint in the warmth of the pub?

Allasani could be a secret weapon as the season goes on if we can get a system to fit him.

A impact sub could be a good introductory role

What's the weather like at the Ricoh? Down here in Dorset we've got high winds and heavy rain. It's bloody miserable.

It’s cold, wet and windy. Forecast is to get worse as the match goes on.

 

[Johnnythespider]

It's fuckin cold, 3 points, gloves going on, see you after

 

[Esoterica]

I like these players in this 4-3-3 formation. No square pegs. Get the ball down and play city!

Reckon it's a 4-3-3/4-5-1 with front three of Thomas, JCH and Hiwula. Hope it's more 4-4-2 with JCH and Hiwula as a front two.

If Baka's not injured that's incredibly harsh. Thought he did enough to keep his starting place so to not even make the squad is very surprising. Seems clear that MR has an issue with him. He does have that lackadaisical style that can make it seem like he's not trying but JCH can be just as frustrating at times IMO.

Shrewsbury scored

Very defensive start, it’s a clear 4-1-4-1. If it works fine, but all it’s doing is inviting pressure. We haven’t had one attack or phase of play yet. Doesn’t bode well.

In a sports bar with no soccer Saturday keep watching this thread but nothing

4-1-4-1

We have an issue scoring goals... Let's play JCH up front on his own!

 

[Esoterica]

Anything happened yet?

Been pushed back very deep already. Burge has had a couple of dodgy kicks off the floor, Grimmer looks uncomfortable in possession, need to get Thomas on the ball more, barely had a touch yet.

 

[PVA]

We can barely touch the ball and when we do we can't string more than three passes together

Luton look like they are playing with an extra man.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I've only got the radio so I'm not going to repeat that as it's likely inaccurate. It's Wich rather than Eakin though so factually might be a bit better.

 

[Grendel]

Good chance pulled wide

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Sounds like we're giving them a attack on defence training session. Poor start - only good thing is we've not conceded.

 

[covcity4life]

Davies is playing poor. Get your act together

Also Jch never on same wavelength as his team mates. At what point is it him who needs to change?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We've set up to lose the game.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Bollocks! Thought we'd scored then. Anyone at the game able to tell if it went in?

 

[Nick]

We've set up to lose the game.

Is it that negative?

 

[covcity4life]

That goal looked in to me

 

[sw88]

Goal line save by the keeper! Looked like Lino might have been on his way but wasn’t to be

 

[Great_Expectations]

Looked over the line to me.

Only thing we’ve done so far, but a good sign it caused issued. Surely evidence to MR to let us attack. Sitting deep is a stupid tactic.

 

[Paxman II]

that was in!

 

[PVA]

Pretty sure that was over the line.

Should be 1 up, not that we deserve it.

 

[covcity4life]

Yeah. I don't mind losing if we gave it all we had to score as many as possible

 

[clint van damme]

That goal looked in to me

Same. Though there's no way the ref or linesman could see it clearly from where they were.

[Nick]

Who was it?

wtf ?!!

 

[Great_Expectations]

Any danger of JCH doing anything?

 

[Esoterica]

Looked in to me in real time.

Never understood why teams think trying to defend against attacking teams is a good thing to do - it's playing right into their hands. It's like seeing a structural beam bowing and thinking "I know - I'll add more weight onto it"

 

[Grendel]

Impossible to judge if over or not

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Looked a goal to us.
