Or evidence that he's not.

So you’d take a risk? I have seen none of the game against Ipswich but from what I have seen I’d avoid playing him - he looks hopelessly out his depth.

Hutch11 · Dec 31, 2025

Just a big a risk playing Bidwell these days

Well, he wasn't at Southampton - I was there. And, as you say yourself, you didn't even see him play.

He was no worse than the rest of them.

To be fair they’ve played very well this season already together for example vs QPR. Just need imo Rudoni to stay more central in the final third

Hopelessly out of his depth is an exaggeration, he looks like a player not used to the speed of the league or our system, which is understandable when he's barely played in either.

Brau made some good tackles against Ipswich but then mostly gave the back straight back. Needs more work IMO

Can someone tell me all will be ok

Release yourself from the "must win" shackles and all will be well

Commenting on performances you didn’t even see is always a classic

I think he is trying too hard. I can't fault his effort and work rate, but at times he just needs to add a bit of composure. That will only come by playing competitive football and building confidence.

Like a lot of the CWR callers in fairness

3-1 away win or Lampard walks

Last time he didn’t play we lost to Wrexham

Who EMC?

He scored the opener at Wrexham

Gint11 · Dec 31, 2025

I think we win this one. 0-2 or 1-3

Warwickhunt · Dec 31, 2025

We are going yo find it tough as Jones will shut up shop to steady the ship so probably a draw.

Brighton Sky Blue · Dec 31, 2025

Charlton forum’s views seem to mirror those of most of the league ie ‘they got lucky at the start and it’s caught up with them’.

Lucky for 23 games is about the stupidest take you can get.

Some comments about xG too. It’s true we were over performing the number of goals scored against the xG but we were leading the xG table all along.

Yeah, we luckily battered in loads of goals against almost everyone we played.

I think we all know that it's injuries, illness and lack of squad depth in certain key positions that has caught up with us. I think we will be alright, at least for second place, if we have a good transfer window.

Got that right, they’re not even worshipping at the right altar!

I don’t like other teams fans hating us so fuck them
Lets shove it right up where furlongs fingers don’t fear to poke

When you’re top or successful everyone starts hating. We’re past the stage of poor old coventry in the doldrums and Sisu as owners.

Now is the best time to be playing us, no doubt on that. Though I would ask any side to do better from the same run of games and the same level of disruption.

Don’t base it on what you’ve read on here about the Ipswich game. Some truly bizarre takes.

He looked fine against Southampton played in a more advanced role.

He didn’t play at PNE either

I actually agree but then it means dropping the only forward showing any kind of form in EMC. Maybe time to test my theory that EMC would make a decent striker.

As would Bobby Thomas

No. EMC scored ( or are you referring to Milan not playing?)

wingy · Dec 31, 2025

Don't know why I thought Tats scored late two late goals, obviously it was just the one.

Because we obviously need to ditch the system that has us 8 points clear at the top of the league

It was almost 442 at times when BTA was playing earlier in the season, he was more of second striker than a midfielder

lordy_87 · Dec 31, 2025

AFCCOVENTRY said:
I think we will see quite a few changes

Rushworth
KKH Thomas Kitch Bidwell
Grimes Torp Eccles
Tatsu Simms EMC

That would be my team too
