Think it's telling we took off egosha and obwiku at HT the way the match was going

I'm just going off someone there on twitter, said the game is rough as fuck and we're being kicked left right and centre.

The lad was shielding the ball out for a throw in and their blokes scythed through him from behind

I don’t know why we play this lot every season it’s always a kick Cov exercise.
Treacle town mentality.

Treacle town menty.

Was gonna say the same why do we even play them?

Think this will be the last time on tonight's evidence.

Death, taxes and Cov playing Nuneaton in pre season.

Perhaps it introduces soft schooled but talented academy kids to the realities of competitive football?

Now please explain "Treacle town mentality" as I have never lived there

I don’t like them - some of their fans have a big chip on their shoulder when it comes to us and the stunt they pulled signing Lee Hughes was disgusting

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Not a name I expected to see tonight! 38 apparently.

Hamer's number?

In contention for bench Saturday and probably pre planned

At least we only send the kids and trialists now.

It's meaningless in the scheme of the coming season.

To be fair we started it, Cashman was lucky not to be sent off after 15 mins for an awful studs up challenge.

Good perhaps they will refuse to play us.

only thing it seems to do is introduce some of them to a lengthy spell out

fuck Nuneaton, no more games and no more loans

Nothing wrong with Nuneaton people and a lot are big Cov fans despite our crap situation over the years, but the Nuneaton v Cov annual friendly games theres always an edge to it.

They have been through the mill like us, crap owners over the years, ground sold off for housing, went burst, came back with a name change and relocated in the middle of nowhere, current owner sound as a pound and all things considered has done a decent job there.
Worked with JG, known him for years he’s a proper grass roots football man, apart from being a Villa fan can’t be perfect.
But as I said earlier friendly matches with Borough aren’t very friendly from the players.
