    Midlands Connect - reinstate direct rail link between Coventry Leicester and Nottingham

    Tell them that it’ll be handy to have a link to East Midlands airport as well as Birmingham airport in a couple of years time when CCFC have European Football fixtures. We live and hope in these towns.

    Collins 5 First goal went straight through him. He seems to get constantly caught out at the near post. His ability to release quickly seems to come up short. Bottom line is that he has concedes far more than Ben Wilson. Why not play Wilson for these dead rubber matches? MVE 6 Electric pace...

    Robins great etc. But we clearly need a set-piece and throw in coach. We look clueless

    (With regards to Bayliss) Wasn’t he referred to in the Jak Hickman “Pepsi” video that he (TB) was now being paid “ten bags” at Preston. I guess it means he was earning £10k / week at Preston - one would assume a huge leap from what he was on at Cov - therefore it might well be he would keen...

    -Collins 4 Opinions divided but the bottom line is that Wilson kept about 20 clean sheets last season and Collins has a fraction of that. Cost us the game and any chance of playoffs / keeping O’Hare etc. gets beaten at the near post too often. -Lati 5 Out of form or out of position - possibly...

    Still fuming

    One thing that lets this side down is the total lack of ability with a dead ball. Throw ins? We’ve always been poor and the ball often gets turned over. Why hasn’t this been addressed in coaching? Corners and wide free kicks? Wasted more often than not. Hamer was an exception to the rule but...

    CCFC 10 years from now...

    Just looking back at what we thought was going to happen a few years back. Doom and gloom. Average attendance will be about a 50 year high of 24000 this season (Leeds game and play off run in will boost a bit) and we are competing up in the upper reaches of the Champ. Happy days.

    Get that clown out of goal

    I mentioned before that Collins has a habit of just hoofing long - particularly problematic when we had Godden and JDS and Tats up front in the main. Wilson seems a bit more quick to spot and bowl out. Not saying he’s a better keeper, just stronger in some areas whereas it seems the stats show...

    Collins v Plymouth. He had a habit of not adapting to the players on the pitch. Long punts to the left hoping JDS would win an aerial duel was simply bonkers for example. Wilson kept a clean sheet so I see him starting against Preston. I wonder who Robins picks for the cup now?

    Toro banging in a screamer on his debut probably settled him a bit quicker.

    Just watched it - didn’t see the deflection live. To me, MVE showed him too much room and the deflection did for Collins. On first showing, as stated, it do look like the near post wasn’t covered.

    Collins 5 Conceded 2 and not sure he was properly covering his near post for their second. The replay highlights might show. The tactic of hoofing long balls for Godden and JDS to try to head seems a bit mad. MVE 6 Didn’t quite click for him tonight. Maybe missed having Saka to link with...

    We have too many on the goal line and no one to follow up around the penalty spot. Needs looking at.
