    Match Thread AFC Wim'don v Coventry Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Feb

    That was only after the game opened up in the 2nd half. First hour there was fuck all space for either team to play and the pitch was shocking. Jones wouldn't have been as effective had he started.

    He was vocal, especially 2nd half. Didn't use the ball as well as I'd have expected though so as you say, not a huge difference from Bigi other than having more experience.

    Burge 6 - Reasonable handling except for one awful spillage in the first half which he was lucky to get away with. Few routine saves. Kicking seemed ok. DKE 7 - Battled so well for a guy his size and wins more than his fair share aerially. Their left winger Barcham didn't get much change out of...

    Shocking standard of football. Clarke solid so far and being very vocal and leading the back 4. DKE also putting in a good shift. Rawson and Turnbull have been pretty poor. We looked short of confidence from the off, defending like it's the last 10 mins of the Wycombe game from the first...

    Yeah it's the closest, just nothing around there in terms of pubs is what I meant by 'middle of nowhere'

    Norbiton is in the middle of nowhere really – I’d either get off at New Malden (there are pubs around there) or get a drink at the ground maybe.

    Yakubu songs

    To the tune of the Christian Eriksen chant Spurs have (loosely based on Agadoo): Yaaaa-kuuuu-bu-bu-bu, He’s our number 22, Yaku-bu-bu-bu, Gonna join us in League 2, To the left to the right, He’s the City’s dynamite, When he plays up front for us, He makes Tudgay look shiiiiite

    My 2nd game of the season after the Charlton debacle, easy trip after work. It will be this I reckon. We don't really have any strikers fit enough (G Thomas aside) to last 90 at the moment. Keep it tight (lol) for an hour and then introduce Folivi / Kwame as fresh legs up top. Reckon he may well...

    Yakubu

    Quite a few similarities with the John Hartson signing back in ’01… desperation to solve a shortage of goals by signing a striker with fitness issues in February, probably ending up with the same result of relegation.

    Slade's post Oldham interview .....

    That’s my biggest gripe – these are alleged professionals, 2 of the back 4 are very experienced players at this level. Comes a point, like the 3rd goal from Saturday, where the players involved have to hold their hands up and take some accountability for this. Not saying Slade is blameless, but...

    Agree, big and strong definitely the dish of the day. Clarke will replace Harries and DKE should perhaps start over Foley. I've hated Turnbull all season and though he had a very good game on Tues he has a lot of flaws - never seen Rawson so don't know how much physicality he offers. Would also...

    It's pathetic. His interview style is cringeworthy, he can hardly get his words out properly. He's a total embarrassment, consistently fails to ask any pertinent questions that anyone with even a modicum of common sense could.

    Striker situation

    Agreed, this weekend it's looking a bit thin but potentially stronger for Wimbledon next week if we have Folivi, Beavon, Tudgay and Yakubu (hopefully) available. Vernam and K Thomas to come back in the next 2/3 weeks as well, I'd say the options are looking more positive. Need to make sure we...

    Haha can you imagine. Replacing 'Killer lurks about, Oggy keeps em out' With 'Kyel fucks about, Turnbull clears nowt'

    Would have loved to, too tight a timescale to get up to Cov after work from London and back again afterwards though unfortunately

    Wembley Tickets...

    Me and my old man bought a ticket for the Semi just to get priority for the Final if we got there. Watched it from the comfy surroundings of my living room

    A Few Thoughts From Last Night...

    On point 2, I didn't think Reid was that bad tbh. Few nice interchanges down the left in the first half, a couple of times he fell over was due to his studs getting caught in the pitch (I watched on TV so could see that clearly). Sensible sub as Jones up top wasn't working and made sense to get...

    Bit early, it's usually released an hour or so before KO so another 20 mins I'd guess
