    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Tuesday 1st Oct

    Yes, 1-0. Haji scored a header off a rebound (either a save or someone hit the crossbar). The difference being, we had leadership then, albeit veterans like Fadz, Kelly and Godden who weren’t getting much playing time. Nevertheless, a scrappy 1-0 via a shot that takes 3 deflections and...

    Problems and Solutions

    It’s clear now, after over a year or so, that they’re not. It took COH hitting a rich vein of form to kickstart our whole season. Hindsight is a great thing, but we haven’t replaced COH either.

    Problems and Solutions

    Yes, he did. Not quite sure why I put that. Chalk it up to a lack of caffeine, this morning - the Gold Blend has run out.

    Problems and Solutions

    I know we’ve all said it ad nauseum, but the failure to adequately replace Hamer is the biggest mistake the club has made. A pivotal, inspirational driving force in midfield HAS to be replaced, with someone close to that departed players level. I know they have tried, but come on…we’ve...

    Viveash gone

    Worryingly, if MR goes, we will probably end up with either Boateng or Delaney as interim manager (at least).

    Yes, I have the shits, thanks for checking in.

    We need a reaction from the players, first and foremost. To me, it looks like a ‘downed tools’ situation, however this is mere speculation. It behooves them to turn up and show us what they can do, no more half-arsed, inattentive performances. Will we get it with no experienced player willing...

    Robins had zero clue

    This is a very valid point, and could very well be the core of the issue. Something has clearly gone awry behind the scenes, and either/both theories could hold water.

    Robins had zero clue

    I’d take a punt at the Performance Director having, ironically, an adverse effect on performances. One of many ‘cooks spoiling the broth’ though, perhaps. Who knows.

    Match Thread Leeds United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Sep

    Think I’d have preferred to have my eyes lanced with a hypodermic needle than watch any more of this. This is not what I should be expected to pay money for, as a fan. It’s frighteningly bad. The warning signs are all there: no leadership, no team spirit, no cohesion, zero tactical efficiency...

    Seems to be going rather well, considering we’ve been sliced up like a pepper for 45 minutes…

    Allen Injured

    Be still, my wildly thudding heart… He’s a shit show at DMF, I’d rather he give Andrews a go, personally. The lad is obviously capable. My preference would be to put MVE at RFW/RW and have Lati at RB. If we set out to press and counter, I feel we could pinch this today.

    I think if we score more goals than them, we should be ok. No guarantees though.

    Kathryn Crosby, the widow of Bing Crosby, died yesterday apparently. Aged 90.

    Bertie Hound vs Simms

    You’re missing the point, and I feel, being a tad melodramatic. He is inconsistent, misses gilt-etched chances regularly, and needs those around him to get his confidence rolling. Someone like Bassette, or even Gyokeres when he was here, will lead the line and aggressively attack as per...

    Bertie Hound vs Simms

    So the alternative is to…? Persevere with inconsistent forwards? MR had to do it last season, as we had no options. Now he has options, and should therefore utilise the talent he has when a player is not performing in a manner that benefits the team. For me, nobody is in that team because...

    Fuck this, same old story. No game management, wrong subs. Inevitable as soon as they brought Son and Maddison on, and we don’t kill the game.

    Stormin’ Norman is the way forward, I feel. No disrespect intended to Simms.
