Match Thread Coventry v Port Vale Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Mar (1 Viewer)

As opposed to the we're fucking shit song, as a bit of light hearted banter:-

We're staying up,
We're staying up,
We're staying up, We're staying up
We're staying up

What is amazing is several managers now have put so much faith in Burge and RCC.
 
I just don't think it's the issue us fans think it is. I don't know why but that's the reality isn't it surely?

Mowbray said there were other priorities

Someone put on here earlier that Tudgay has only had 9 shots all season... is that true,? Absolutely disgraceful if it is

Won't load on my phone but I swear that's what it said here. Player Statistics

Edit: it loaded, it gets worse. That's the joint most of any player. 9 shots in the league.
 
k thomas has a knack of getting as close as possible to a ball and not touching it lol. but he does give us lots of running and chasing down. he also makes runs for midfielders to pass to so he is our best bet for CF right now

also remmember hes quite young. he has what 3 or 4 goals this season since coming back from injury? definitley one to keep for next season imo
 
HOOOO BLOODY RAYYYYYY!!!!!

makes a cold wet Wednesday morning much more palatable

Cracking first goal
 
One thing about Bigi that impressed me was in the closing stages he was imploring everyone to push Port Vale back and close them down. With a single goal to defend our instinct has tended to otherwise be withdraw out of fear and concede late, preventing that alone can make a world of difference.

The most pertinent thing Robins said afterwards is that passion and pride aren't the issue, it's decision-making and fear. It's like he's been secretly watching us all season. As much as I like to see players haring around with urgency (and someone doing so can fire up those around them), I've never thought a lack of effort or not caring is our undoing.

Well we have got what we got.
There is little difference between ether of our keepers IMO.
Obviously our 4 managers this season see more in Burge then RCC.

Surprised people aren't saying there is a clause in RCC's contract stopping him from playing, they have made it up about every other player haven't they?

I'm not sure how reliable that is, it says bigi has only had 3 shots but i reckon he's put at least 10 free kicks straight into the wall or over the bar this season.

Should be written into Bigi's contract that he is never ever allowed to take a free kick again.

Omfg... criminal so why the bloidy hell did he get re signed???

Miscommunication.

He turned up after the summer break with his boots and Tony Mowbray said 'Oh, I thought you had resigned.'

'No' says Tudgay. 'I will go and do it right now.' He then popped straight into the office and re-signed his contract and Mowbray was left red faced.
 
tudgay never supposed to play a starring role this season. hes done ok considering imo. hopefully he wont start again though as we need pace upfront.
 
I think it is true that he has been played out of necessity rather than choice. I don't think it was ever the intention to play him week in week out.
 
Tbh, I've been shocked at how inept Tudgay's been during his time here. Always thought he looked fairly handy at previous clubs but he's been atrocious here.

Spot on post, I've never believed our players don't try, or don't care. I do believe the team is ill equipped for this league, lack confidence and that there is a huge fear factor.

Didn't mowbray prefer rcc?

Be interesting to see what robins does with keepers regards next season.

I think initially he went for burge but an injury brought RCC in who went on to break the record for minutes without a goal so decided to stick with him

Yeah I remember but initially he picked burge like the next 2 managers have done, maybe they trust burge more from what they see in training. I would imagine RCC to be quite erratic and trying different things during training. I don't think there is that much between them but RCC is better. We'll see next year who robins prefers

i think next year a experience keeper will be in and rcc 2nd. hopefully burge out
 
Port Vale caretaker boss Michael Brown told BBC Radio Stoke "We tried hard but we weren't good enough. It's disappointing as it was Coventry."

Nuff said

...onwards & upwards PUSB

He featured in most games under Mowbray at the start of the season.
 
Lots of criticism but Tudgay is actually our leading scorer. The other two, Sordell and Agyei have gone.
