Surprised this thread hasn’t triggered anyone yet. He’s always been a class footballer and he continues to improve by adding new aspects to his game and growing new skills too, such as the leadership qualities highlighted in this thread. We’re lucky to have him and I’ve no idea why anyone...

Get your point, but in this case it doesn’t apply. I don’t watch any highlight shows so those words are my own and meant as descriptive as opposed to a reference to the actual rules. I’m not a Ref so I’m not au fait with the exact wording.

1) I thought he had Mavididi in his pocket to be honest. He knew he couldn’t beat MVE for pace and it really limited him. 2) The MVE/Sakamoto partnership has to be one of the strongest in the league. Offensively it is obvious, but defensively they cover each other so well and are constantly...

I actually thought he started quite well and seemed to want to let the game flow, but in doing so become too lenient and then lost control. The big ones for me; 1) Not a pen. No idea what Thomas is supposed to do with his leg/foot after making contact with the ball, his momentum was carrying...

Well there is when you then claim the opposing team are over celebrating the fact they’ve won the game. That’s won - after coming from behind against league leaders in a “derby” - not shielding the ball out for a goal kick with 20 minutes left to play.

Genuinely shocked at how badly they’ve taken this loss. How absolutely embarrassing for all involved with their club. For a Manager to create a bizarre half arsed conspiracy and their “star player” to act like a a petulant child is mental. Spoilt and entitled team who have made themselves look...

Can’t wait to read back through this thread tonight once home and chilled. What a result, what a performance, what an atmosphere. Special time to be a Cov fan once again.

Every single time. Why is it a surprise to the organisers? ‘Get there early’ isn’t really a plan.

Imagine how up for it the players should be for today; sell out crowd at home, local derby etc. I reckon MVE will be especially fired up.

We all knew the team so we shouldn’t be surprised and so I’ve already processed the disappointment (ish). However, some perspective on Palmer. He’s a good player, playing his best football in a Cov shirt. This isn’t bringing Taveres in. We know the downside will be his positional sense, but...

Every set of fans has a minority of idiots. Unfortunately we seem to have a vocal and especially idiotic minority. It’s going to add an unneeded edge to the atmosphere today where likely innocents will get caught up in it. Reassuring to see the response from the majority on here.

Disappointing. In a game where I expect we’ll need to break quickly and make the ball stick, Godden wouldn’t be the first choice. I also really like Simms and am desperate for him to score and get that weight off his mind. Looking positively; Godden feels his has a point to prove and scored...

I use it a fair bit but it can be hit and miss, plus location plays a big part too. Pre Covid I used it a lot when I had to travel more for work, and (obviously) London was excellent for it at the time. There is a Harvester near me which can be excellent or underwhelming. They also have a...

Got a cinema tripped pencilled in for tomorrow night and for the first time in a long time it won’t be to see a kids film! Has anyone been recently and got any recommendations? Poor Things has great reviews and won awards etc - has anyone seen it?

I’m doing Dry January and February, with a small weekend off in February as I’m away for a few days and there’s no way I’m going on a kid free holiday and not making the most of it. I don’t necessarily get the Dry January thing, but I’ve got a marathon to run in April and I need to do some...

This would have been ideal, but typically I’m away that weekend! Cheers - I saw those too. I was just after a view of whether it’s worth giving a trail race a go / what are they like? No worries if you don’t want to share though obviously.

It will be massively disappointing if he goes especially as it feels like he’s only just come back, is starting to find his form and looks better than before. For him not signing and staying until the end of the season is potentially a win/win. He stays and we go up, then he gets a Premier...

While Palmer out wide and him/COH interchanging (intentionally or otherwise) worked really well last weekend, we all know it’s a completely different game on Saturday. If it is Palmer he’s going to have to ensure he stays disciplined. On the plus side, Bidwell is positionally solid and...

I know I said it on the other thread, but it feels so much better signing relatively unknown players from some of the more obscure and untapped leagues. It is one of a growing number of factors which makes us feel like a proper club, with solid foundations in place. Even if he is a flop, I...

Also, these last two windows have been exciting times as a Cov fan. We’re buying for a position of relative strength, with money and we’re an attractive proposition to players. Who would have thought that a few years ago. The dark days of Andre Wright are way behind us.
