beats playing solitaire.
At leats we’ve had one, 15th is a pipe dream for CCFC with that silly billy in charge.
Why are you posting on a Coventry forum at 8am? Bizarre.....enjoy the 1 season above 15th
Do u post on other championship forums or is it just Barnsley and Coventry?beats playing solitaire.

Hamer wants the ball off the defenders with options in front of him, so does James, so does Kelly. None of them want to get ahead and offer an option. Play with technical terms all you like. SBT’s average position graphic shows that. Last season you’d have had Godden, O’Hare and Allen/Shipley in the opponents half probably plus the wing backs. Maybe even Walsh who was happier going forward than Hamer is. Hamer is just very good at hitting it from the edge of the box. Arriving late. After the attack. Because he’s not primarily an attack minded player.
Yes, average position.
I then referred to their touches and it shows that Kelly sits in front of the defence and James & Hamer (in particular Gus) have more touches in the opposition half.
I never said Hamer was an attacker. Not even remotely close to what I said.
But that it literally the point you’re arguing against. People are saying we are playing one less attacker and three defensive minded midfielders.

Whats your top 3 shittest championship forums?At times, all the decent ones, Swansea, Cardiff, Boro, Leeds, Reading, Stoke, Bristol, uddersfield, Wensdeh, Palace, Hove, Plymouth, Brentford, Wolves
This is the one I’m active on most at the moment. It’s a cracking read and some decent posters. Normally just post on sites when we’re due to play them.

Luton, Wycombe, Barnsley.
As you're about @Barnsley , what was this all about?! - Tykes to pay Hull £1m over MacDonald dispute
I remember playing them at HR . A very sunny day and they brought a fewI’m old enough to remember when Barnsley had that one season in the premier league. What an absolute car crash that was.
I would tend to agree with both your comments and @Deleted member 5849.
he’s s definitely improved since he was manager of you and us the first time around. He’s now flexible to an extent. In league two and league one he fluidly changed our system when one wasn’t working.
he’ll however stick with his original plan for as long as possible before changing, and yesthe description about Brentford/ Wycombe was spot on
he actually diverted to the two up front at the start of the season agaisnt unbeaten, top of the league reading.... we won 3-2
I did recall the injuries but he could have ultimately shoehorned other players in to his systems.I'd argue that flexibility was enforced due to injury and he couldn't do what he wanted. I'm not sure if those players had stayed fit he'd have changed things. This is probably the first season where injuries haven't led to us coming across a good alternative, mainly due to it being the main strikers who have been missing regularly. That's not to take away from the fact he did manage to find a different system that did work.
I also think barnsley has a point. MR does still show the traits of having more of a go against teams we should struggle against and then shut up shop against weaker ones. You'd think he'd see the results against the better teams and think "if we can get at them we should have a go at the weaker teams" but he often doesn't.
Assuming we stay up next season will be a big season for him. We'll have had our consolidation season and we have to see a more attacking approach from him to progress. Whether we see it or not will tell us of his mindset.
How are you Brighton?Watford’s was surprisingly decent too.
so he doesn’t see top six sides as a free hit, and turn up playing attacking football with the shackles off ? And pick up a few results against them, must be worse than before then. Used to love us playing the better side to see us have a go.

Kyle Lightbourne and Simon Haworth were our front two, I think? (or am I confusing that the Swindon debacle?)They beat us tbf - it was televised on Sky on a Monday night, as did Swindon.

That was the game at oakwell werent it? 2-0. Swindon weren’t in the league thenThey beat us tbf - it was televised on Sky on a Monday night, as did Swindon.

We always embarrass ourselves against the shite teams to be fair. It's kind of our thing.They beat us tbf - it was televised on Sky on a Monday night, as did Swindon.
Midweek game I believe. Was working in London watched in a shite pub and then milked the expenses for all it was worth afterwards. A significant Chinese buffet and a very large hotel drinks bill
Just pointing out we have taken one more point in the last ten games in comparison to the first tenYou're wrong.
We've been playing various formations against top or bottom sides all season .
The fact we beat Brentford has little bearing on that as its wouldn't happen more than twice in 10 games against them .
We've looked good in games , and got nowt , we've looked bad in games and got points ...
Season started we went at every team and were doing shite ..
We simply don't have the players capable of doing much better ,comes with 2 promotions in 3 years , including the horrendous injury list we had throughout mid season
We've players who played in league 2 , and only a couple with experience at this level .
It's not just about Robins tactics as in the last 2 games we should have scored 6 , we've hit the woodwork a silly amount of times .
It's because we just haven't got the quality required to do much better ...
We've had to build a club up from the 4th tier to the 2nd tier in 3 seasons ...it's not an easy job
Especially when you're not flush with cash and playing away from home for 2 seasons
Barnsley ...as silly as it sounds are an easier club to manage than Coventry City, especially in recent years
True , we've not had our best striker though during this spell.Just pointing out we have taken one more point in the last ten games in comparison to the first ten
One draw more , two wins across both .
Yes that was a shocking night. We did win the home game which was part of a think 6 or 7 game winning run. That run should have continued further but we totally blew semi final opportunity against Sheff Utd at home.They beat us tbf - it was televised on Sky on a Monday night, as did Swindon.
Yeah I was just maybe confused over whether it was style or system etcTrue , we've not had our best striker though during this spell.
Either way ..I think what I said is true and probably proves that quality is and always has been the issue
Sorry mate, misunderstood. Ashley Ward scored for Barnsley didn’t he?I didn't mean in the same season, the point I was making was that we never fared very well against so called whipping boys. Even that Barnsley home game we won late on through a debatable penalty (iirc it was the record breaking 7th straight win).
Sorry mate, misunderstood. Ashley Ward scored for Barnsley didn’t he?
And didn’t Fjortoft score when Swindon hadnt won in about the first 10?
Swindon was 1-1? I think they got a last minute equaliser.They beat us tbf - it was televised on Sky on a Monday night, as did Swindon.
