Any of the ITK heard about incoming this week?
Bollox. Was listening to the Stoke game like some on here.
Sheaf and torp dont play the same role. And the problem with Sheaf’s form this year is he has been asked to.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR PEOPLE AT THE BACK
Sheaf is a defensive midfielder. He is there to break down opposition attacks, take the ball off the centre backs, allow creative players to be creative and do the unseen work.
TORP, SHEAF AND RUDONI DO NOT PLAY THE SAME ROLES

Ngakia played like Dabo (after all the injuries) and their striker to put it simply, could not be arsed. Moaned all game at his teammates yet stood offside for most of it.
Their fans were brilliant to be fair to them. Shitshow at the moment yet not far off it at all.

Watford were shit, very very lucky they are already at nearly 50 points.
Thought it was interesting that for one corner in the first half, Latibeudiere looked to Bidwell for instruction on whether he should advance.
Another corner first half, Allen looked at Bidwell, who again directed him where to go.
On both occasions Bidwell stayed back whereas usually he would be one of them in the penalty area.

Weather you like it or not “Sheaf” is “NOT” a defensive midfielder. He is a modern day spine player. Has all attributes and his best ones are going forward. His defensive attributes need picking up on as was Eccles. Fortunately Lampard had the guts to drop the latter and fortunately the other is injured. 2 seasons ago I would agree but Lampard has seen and done something with them both out of the team. It’s not a coincidence. Really isn’t.OK FAT FINGERS

Another little gem from their forum:-
"A draw could've been a fair result as they didn't create an awful lot apart from the two goals."

I get this. But isn’t it ok to not want something to happen but then change your mind when it’s not as bad as you feared? I was against the change of manager (not vocally on here) but am warning to it. I think that’s ok xSome of them posting in the thread now pretending like they had no issue

They’ve got this new functionality that prevents people accessing on different devices. The only problem is that it seems to take something like 24 hours to reset after logging out of all devices.
I contacted them about it but unsurprisingly they didn’t reply when I pointed it out.
Thoroughly professional performance yesterday. Bar Torp, I don’t think anyone was particularly outstanding, but at the same time nobody was below a 6. It was the type of mature performance we haven’t seen from this squad as they controlled the game. Thomas was solid at the back, and credit to BTA in the 1st half who looked our most lively player. The consistency in selection is clearly paying off as this team looks more settled & confident than we’ve seen this year - great to see us stand up to them physically as well.
Considering the success we have had in the past 4 games with this midfield, I’m starting to think whether the midfield addition we need may no longer be a 6 but instead a 8/10 to share the load with Rudy. I thought he looked out on his feet towards the end but we do not have a natural replacement. It’s Torp & Allen’s shirt to loose with Eccles on the bench & Sheaf to return, do we need another 6 to add to that ?
Special mention to their #8, he was head a shoulders their best player and looked a handful on & off the ball.

BTA had two close goal attempts, he definitely offered more threat than Simms. The stats back it up, more shots, more shot creating actions, higher xG, more progressive passes and dribbles

We're not missing the Sheaf who mostly turns up for the City.
Gives the ball away far too often imo.
Too casual in possession.
& we are not missing Mark Robins either. Sorry Mark & yes you were magnificent.

One of the funniest bits yesterday was Singers Corner singing 'EIEIEIO, Up the Football league we go'
then for the last line singing on autopilot 'Robins is our King' , then most laughing as they realised the words needed changing, Second time around, they corrected it.

3rd team on the trot to moan about losing to 'a poor/average Coventry team'. Elite tactician, I'd say.
Their fans were good though. Not sure where those fans have came from as their home support is wank and I don't remember them ever singing like that on previous visits to the CBS.

Agreed. Chakvetadze was their best player in our away game too, and again yesterday.
However, I think we dealt with him reasonably well, which is a testament to our defence, as he is definitely "better" than a Championship player.

There was only one fair assessment on their forum for yesterday, it was a bit funny reading some of them. One of them said barring our two goals , we created nothing, erm… hold the back page, we could have been three nil up after 15 and also the guy who wrestled Tats to the floor should have had a second yellow.
