    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    And that 1 on 1 between Simms and their FB which was a fair shoulder charge but the guy went down like the sack of shit he is and lino fell for it. Appalling decision. The only thing he did get right was the no offside decision for their second goal. I wonder if Dovin was sure it was offside and...

    All of this could be avoided by Binks challenging for the initial ball in from the free kick. He just stood there and watched the guy have a free header. Poor from a CB

    Just watched the Sky highlights back at their first goal - Binks not challenging for the header when the ball first came in was the primary mistake, but then Simms was waiting for it to bounce and missed his kick, when he should have taken one pace forward and got his head on it. Poor all round...

    Eccles

    Funny that some had him.down as bossing the .midfield. when my view was more like this. Too many passes went astray for him last night.

    I think this thread underlines the beauty of the game we love - unlike a sport like baseball or NFL, you cannot simply boil it all down to stats and say who was best - it's how we observe (maybe where we observe from) and create our subjective opinions. I'm sure we all sometimes feel that we...

    I think it was a very strong all-round performance, but a few observations:- Rudoni was popping up all over the place, fought hard to win 1v1s, but his pass completion was quite sloppy. Eccles, Torp and Tatsu all need to sharpen up their passing for us to move up a gear. There were a lot that...

    I suppose it's not showing how many ST holders won't show (but they will count them as attending anyway, bizarrely)

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    I worry about RB. I don't believe we have anyone who plays there consistently enough or consistently well. MVE is too attack-minded, Lati drifts in too often, leaving us exposed. Who else have we got??

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    Surprised it's so low - there are no more than about 1,000 tickets in our areas available currently. Reckon 29k even with Oxford's pathetic showing.

    Things that annoy you

    They had a woman (a grown woman) - a self-titled "Swifty Superfan" on 5Live this morning talking about having been at Wembley last night. This was the THIRD time she had seen her on this tour, so has more money than sense (well, that wouldn't be difficult!). Honest to god, get a fucking grip FFS!

    Parking

    Yep - well aware! I'll wear my fastest ones!!! It used to be really handy that the people who operated the site at the top end of Blackburn Road used to let you cut down to the canal through their yard for 50p on matchdays. Miserable buggers have built on it!

    Parking

    There are no Arena zone signs on Streetview like on all the residential streets. I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back keep it to myself if it is still free! Just a short walk through Sowe Valley Park (or something) then the bridges over the canal and railway into the North side of the CBS.

    Is the Blackburn Road industrial estate still available for on-street or has that been included in the no parking zone now?
