    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Rochdale Match Thread - Saturday 16th Nov

    One doesn't see this line-up pouring goals into the Rochdale net. Indeed, one fancies it not to get any goals at all! Sure hope someone proves me wrong.

    Pressley sacked

    I've read this thread title a few times now and each time I think 'Thank the Lord', then remember it has already happened. Mind you, I had no real animus towards him. I even rather liked the way he came across in the media but that 0-2 Boxing Day defeat at Doncaster I'll never forget.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southampton U21 Match Thread - Tuesday 5th Nov

    Whatever the justification: giving young players a run out, rotating the squad, trying out new combinations; there cannot be any excuse for that first half. Eccles, Kastaneer, Walsh and Shipley have been abysmal. The tentative playing it around our area with passes across the box continues and...

    MK Dons - TLS Match Report

    Yeah, audacious penmanship bro. A more entertaining game than you let on though, I feel? Maybe it was better on ifollow with a cup of tea than at the Fake Bowl surrounded by energy drink vessels. Peace

    McFadzean

    I saw John Stones playing for England against the Netherlands in June - didn't he give away two goals by doing what McFadzean does? Otherwise I agree with you. I wish McFadzean would just launch it.

    Marosi - 5 not wholly convinced by his efforts on the first goal but at least had the presence of mind to start going long early in the first half Dabo - 3 poor all game McFadzean - 1 one of the worst individual performances you could script for a defender Hyam - 4 docked points for being...

    Please can we stop playing it across the area? Please? We have just done it again.

    What's wrong with McFadzean? He is constantly playing us into trouble, every game. I mean, what's wrong with him?

    Match Thread Rotherham United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Oct

    Generally poor. O'Hare is flickering though and Mason playing well. Kastaneer has done a few surprisingly good things too. Marosi and McFadzean are giving chances - and goals - away hand over fist - the second today was a carbon copy of last week's mistake. I've been having the old kittens all...

    Ratings versus Oxford

    Marosi 7 top-drawer saves but has a shaky look about him at times Dabo 6.5 two OGs all the same and lost the ball dangerously once trying to break too fast, nice cross for Godden's goal though Rose 6 marked as part of defence conceding 3 - truthfully didn't notice him much Hyam 7 any number...

    Transfer Rumour Incoming - Callum O'Hare - Season Loan

    I can assure you Forest certainly do dislike Leicester pretty keenly, even if Direby are the bigger rivals Grew up in Notts in the 80's-90's

    Marosi 7 - made one very good save Dabo 5 - neither as enterprising as Grimmer nor as classy as Sterling - yet McFadzean 6.5 - a very big presence but did he overdo it? Rose 6 - more or less solid Mason 6 - all right, made a few good overlaps and put in some decent crosses Westbrooke 6 - all...

    Bayliss off?

    Yes, I agree you did, in particular because you are right about keeping hold of the core and building on it. Not cashing in and then trying to get a load of new players to gel. Bayliss going is a real stinger. Preston! Hard to believe that that's the state of football today...

    Squad as it is

    Some nice measured posts in this thread, like it. I felt Burge got far too much stick, but it had become time for him to go. Pity it's to Sunderland. Probably Marosi will be better, especially without the history of gaffes Burge had built up. No idea about Dabo but I still miss Grimmer and his...

    Disallowed goal

    I asked this question in the match thread - having watched it back loads of times I can only assume the ref blew up for Bright not falling over (and thus looking guilty) when their player launched himself into him on the edge of the box. I find it strange this hasn't been mentioned more often-...

    Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 4th May

    Why was our goal disallowed? I've watched it back countless times - looks like their man launches himself into Bright who, back turned, stands his ground. Must have missed something - or maybe the ref realised a Baka goal would upset the delicate skein of the fabric of reality?
