    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    I think more than 3 games but it's hard to get away from the accusation that Robins isnt a manager who can operate at the top end of the championship. He had 20m to spend which at our level is a war chest and we had 8million Wright on the bench and 6.5m worth of defenders who cant make the 1st...

    Did robins know they changed formation?

    When you value Hadji Wright at 8 million I think it puts the microscope on a manager.

    The Brentford/Brighton model

    Let's not beat around the bush all those signings, Kitching aside, who was regarded as expensive at 4.5m from league 1, were within the model of seasons gone by with a bit of extra cash from the VG signing. However where some people are understandably at a loss is how the club's record ever...

    9 million Euros

    In short your feel we have spent 14 million euros on players who dont impact the first team? For a club like ours, if that is true (and jury is still out) it's truly shocking and there should be some accountability.

    Simms + Wright = ?

    I appreciate your optimism but based on what you have seen so far this season what price would you say hadji wright is worth?

    Birmingham match moved to Friday night

    Why is it that it's all home games being moved for Sky?

    No FA cup replays

    If that is your view it's a shame. There has been many shocks in front of sell out crowds that will live long in the memory and folklaw of clubs. No other football competition has the potential to do that. Some of the fans of the super elite clubs do take it less seriously, especially with the...

    Birmingham match moved to Friday night

    Agree Pete why does it always seem to be home games that are moved?

    No FA cup replays

    Appeasement of elites with too much power, at the expense of the rest (of the pyramid) sad really. Surely the solution is they play their u21s and take their chances with the talent they have used their vast riches to acquire, often from the lower leagues.

    Preston Tickets

    Agree, seems a lot of pessimism about filling the allocation, win a couple of games and tickets will be in short supply. We don't have a MK dons equivalent away day and while it's a bit further Preston does allow for 4000+ fans which could make for a memorable atmosphere

    Sweden v Belgium shootings

    I am not a theologian but I find it insanely sad that most major religions believe in the concept of a god but some will kill each other while arguing over how we get there.

    Additional Bristol tickets available Monday

    What is the capacity of the away end at Bristol. I have seen a few different figures quoted online

    Embarrassed to be a cov fan

    To balance it up I saw 4 Norwich lads about 25yo say to a dad waiting to get out of car park A you got any teeth mate as all the people I have seen around here dont. He was doing it in an aggressive way and looking for him to bite and start trouble. He was a top class pri&k. Its a shame the two...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    There could be something in that to an extent but America along Australia and New Zealand are probably the closest culturally to the UK as you can get. When he joined the Turkish league that may have been a factor. With regards to how moving effrcts a players ability to preform, the young lad...

    Average away followings

    Any news on extra Bristol tickets. I didn't buy mine as i was waiting for someone who has less points to be able to and they were then sold out! Any news on when the others go on sale would be great. I read the away end can hold 4500 so could be as many as 2000 more maybe?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Wednesday 4th Oct

    Always been mystified by the 'earn the right to play' statement. How does that work in reality? I get training hard and showing your ready, but in reality if the team keeps winning and the manager is loyal to winning sides (which most are) it's hard to earn the right while sat on the bench and...

    Dean Austin

    I know hindsight is easy but we had Binks before we spent 4m on Kitching we had Simms before we spent nearly 8m on Wright. Had that 12m been spent on one top perm and one top loan signing in the midfield where would we be! Agree Binks looks a decent player and Kitching will struggle to take his...

    Strikers Who Came Good

    In fairness to Simms, I think some fans on here who were expressing understandable concerns about Wright's abilities went OTT and put it equally and unfairly at Simms door, even though he was only getting cameo appearances. Having watched Simms in pre season I never had doubts about his ability...

    Looked like the Sunderland player went down a bit easy for the penalty!

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Goals dont tell the whole story however. There are many forwards who aren't prolific but are vital to the team as they make up for it by excelling with other attributes. I think it's the concerns about his other attributes that are more of concern.
