    Perhaps this is your classic MR; contain first half, attack second. Frustrating but if it works we can’t complain too much.

    Beat you to it - I claim ‘first bed wet of the season’ award. Those being genuine will be gutted.

    Binks having a good game. Which is a shame, as it shows how on the back foot we are.

    Torp and Allen have been a perfect combination of weak defensively, anonymous and poor on the ball. Sakamoto and EMC very, very quiet too.

    Horrendous defending from Allen and Bidwell.

    Nervy start is all. We’ll come good and dominate soon enough.

    Sky Sports Plus

    Sky Sports+ is definitely better than Red Button. Better quality picture and replays too. Commentators are poor though.

    Cut through the midfield way too easily twice already. Season over. Change of shape needed. MR Out.

    I’m by no means the biggest Allen fan, but I actually think he’ll excel in this formation. Excited to see a pre-season behind him Torp too. Really excited for today.

    I’ve just caught up with the numerous (now mostly closed) threads on the off topic. The expected post match meltdown will seem like nothing after that!* *not that there will be one tomorrow as I’m expecting a good result and performance!

    Sheaf

    Would be gutted if he went, I’m a massive fan of Sheaf and have been since the early days. He’s also a professional off the pitch and at this point one of the ‘old guard’ considering the amount of change at the club. He’s a big figure to lose on and off the pitch. £20 million though is...

    Wright

    Generally I agree, but the MR quote being attributed to Kitching has come from an ITK we now know had a source (indirectly) in the camp. Therefore there is substance behind this one I think.

    Wright

    I think the OP is bollocks and the poster has a history of loving the negative. However in fairness, it’s Coventry related on a Coventry forum and airing it allows it to be squashed. I think I’m more pissed off about the Kitching stuff, I honestly had no idea. I always thought he was a team...

    Genuinely not the made the game. I obviously love my kids, and she’ll get spoilt today for being so brave etc, but FFS. Was looking forward to a beer, seeing the new players in the fresh and getting back into the the football routine.

    I’ve been sat in A&E for the last 3 hours with my eldest, who may or may not have broken a bone. When my partner joked I might miss the game I laughed, but at this rate who knows! I’ve already written off the pre game pub lunch, which if we play 3-5-2 will likely be the highlight of the...

    Hopefully this is your new (?) source’s Billy Gilmour moment! Or it’s a ‘Saddlebrains Investigates’ situation. Either way, I hope it’s not true. I missed Everton and I was really looking forward to us playing attacking football today!

    Hosting a decent Bundesliga side at home; such an occasion surely warrants half and half scarves? Here’s hoping.

    Transfer Rumour Brandon Thomas-Asante

    Excellent business on so many levels; good player with potential to push on, weakened a championship rival, piped another rival to the signing and he can cover CF and wing. WBA fans I know (and I think the general consensus) is that he’ll become a fan’s favourite with his work rate and...

    Southport Stabbing

    Few days post incident and this one has really stuck with me. I have two girls aged 3 and 4, and they regularly attend dance classes. I honestly cannot comprehend what the parents are going through. Losing a child is surely the worst experience you can have in life. As for the aftermath it’s an...

    Home shirt is fastest selling in CCFC History

    Think I’ve been sucked into the hype. Very very tempted to go and get one today (and likely for the kids too). Anyone know how stocks are looking at the Arena?
