    Total and utter, woeful sh**e, after the first 15 mins. Collins, MvE, JDS piss poor Thomas and Binks very marginally better. Improved when Lati came on but couldn’t have got worse Saka - how on earth he lasted the full 90…., dreadful Sheaf good 1st half, off it completely in the 2nd. Torp...

    FA cup 3rd round. Thirteen quid. Not bad.

    Absolutely agree, sensible pricing. Also quite fancy a 6pm Saturday KO too

    Cardiff player ratings

    Thoroughly atrocious performance. Another Saturday afternoon to question my sanity. All of the starting XI way off the standard required for Championship football, against a poor Cardiff side but at least they had some fight about them. We were One paced, no movement/creativity. 62% possession...

    Palmer leaving

    Same. Can understand why views differ on KP. I generally saw more positives than negatives with his place in the squad but as many have said, consistency was the main issue. Let’s see what happens through the rest of the day………

    Assuming no major in’s/out’s, this is my preference for starting XI - I know not very probable (I.e. Sheaf and KP starting) Not a fan of playing two so left footed cb’s and don’t believe Lati has done much wrong to merit losing the shirt. Binks has the other spot and don’t see this changing on...

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

    It’s hard for me to fathom, after 1 or 2 games, as throughout the season we will play how we did against Stoke and win, similarly draw and conversely play much better and lose. We will likely lose +/- 15 games this season, is everyone going to worry every time we do… ^This absolutely 100%

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

    The preseason optimism has been replaced with pre match nervousness and negativity around this one, which is a bit hard to fathom if I’m honest after just one meaningful game… First home game of the season, decent day weather wise, good crowd in fine voice, and whichever permutation MR puts on...

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

    Tend to agree. Very tough neighbourhood, or at least was. Strangely, some of the worst violence I’ve seen inside a ground has been on the London Road end - quite bizarrely, a preseason friendly v Lincoln particularly sticks in the mind, around 80/81.

    Born in Cov but from 5 lived in Aston, nr Witney, early 70’s before moving back to the promised land in mid 80’s. Great era and area to grow up in as a kid. One week Highfield Rd, next week old Manor Ground - I’ve always been Sky Blue but lots of old mates from that way who are Oxford fans.

    Stoke Player Ratings

    Taking 6 as a benchmark for a competent/expected level, and on the basis of the performance, the lack of energy, creativity and application to get even the basics right, these look about right ~ slight nit pick re Dovin and Bidwell, who I’d probably both rate a mark higher.

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Well that was disappointment. Goal was against the run of play but too many players with below par performances over the 90 - simple misplaced passes, poor control, wrong passing decisions. We didn’t match their physicality and generally seemed to play the game in half pace mode. Midfield area...

    I dont want to get in a long debate and you make fair enough/point, and each to their own pov. I’m sure Ticketmaster have reasonable security protocols in place, I’m not sure about CCFC’s generic email/storage system. Personally, I am probably too cautious, but having had personal data stolen...
