    Match Thread Coventry City - Leicester City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Jan

    Same 4231 formation, hopefully. Palmer in if Wright is out, Kitching in for Binks, who could justifiably be a little disappointed, as could Lati. Collins MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell Sheaf, Eccles Saka, COH, Palmer Simms Heart wants to say 2-0, head is saying high scoring draw, 2-2

    Assured, composed & professional, mostly. Was very pleased to see a strong line up with an obvious gulf in class showed. Thought all who played a part did their jobs well; Tavares ring rustiness to be expected. I thought 7’s and 8’s throughout. Sheaf over Palmer, just, as MoM for me, with...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 1st Jan

    So, does MR stick with 4231 or sacrifice an attacking option to fill an extra midfield berth?? Means for me: do we play Allen or Lati, or neither? For me, I suspect he will (and I hope) we go with: Collins MVE/BT/Binks/Bidwell Sheaf/Eccles or Lati Saka/COH/Wright Simms Rotate Palmer & COH for...

    For me, he didn’t do anything in the game to justify his place ~ simply couldn’t bring myself to rate him on that level of effort or performance.

    Hellishly frustrating. My opinion we did ok in the first half considering the changes and that Allen and Godden were passengers, largely dominated the 2nd and changes made a difference. Collins, 5. Difficult to tell from my vantage point but seems he either got the wall wrong or his own...

    Really pleased we went to a back 4. All did well in my view, with Bidwell the pick. Collins 7, Lati 6, Thomas @ Kitching 7’s, Bidwell 8. Midfield 3 all worked hard, 7’s. Still think we are missing a piece of the jigsaw though with not much available in the squad to add the needed quality and...

    Generally we are lightweight; plenty of the ball but largely ineffectual; no attacking threat and very little coherence. Team lacks a solid spine, seems devoid of leaders(hip), and is low on confidence. Other than that everything’s rosy. Wilson 3, shocking for their opener and progressively...

    Great to come away with a point and could (should) have snatched all 3 at the end, but looking at ratings so far I must have been at a different match. Robbins 5 for me today; very odd team selection but redeemed by the substitutions; Ref clueless. Our passing was well off today all over the...

    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    I do agree. Today highlighted why investment in a CM was needed (not necessarily a direct Hamer type replacement) and we have little options to change personnel on like for like basis. We’ve invested heavily in defensive options and 2 strikers so it seems unlikely we will change formations...

    Ratings v watford

    Some good, some bad, some ugly… a little different to last week as I thought Wilson and back 3 had the run around all afternoon but both WB’s vastly better. Today probably shows the folly of not investing in a CM as Eccles was poor today in my view and the bench didn’t have the right option...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 26th Aug

    My thoughts for what they’re worth: Wilson & back three all played well, esp Fadz & Lati. MVE seems to lack fitness, sharpness & confidence but I’m sure all three will come; Dasilva had a good game. Sheaf solid and a great first half; Eccles, I thought did well in parts but tired significantly...

    First idols

    As a kid it was: Ian Wallace; Steve Hunt; Danny Thomas. Always enjoyed players who got me "off my seat": Keane (albeit a short spell with us he's probably my all time favourite player in a city shirt), Ndlovu and Huckerby

    First city game

    1-1 v Ipswich, 27th Dec 1976 8 years old, with my Dad, on the Kop (recall us moving right to the very top for some reason) Being December, remember it was bitterly cold, wet, and decidedly dank, no surprise..

    18, between U and W... Strategically located adjacent the steps for the convenience of 8yo daughter and the run to the facilities. Fortunately, frequency of said runs is reducing in line with the increase in on pitch entertainment...

    What would YOUR Team be V Tranmere?

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I can't see the pitch having improved from the Preston game unfortunately so I think we will see a lot more back to front football tonight with the midfield largely bypassed with us trying to play any kind of passing football in the final third. So on...
