    Or play Hiwula centrally adding extra pace to the side. We’re not far off a decent side, bit more composure and luck in front of goal and we’re good value more often than not. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Those stipulations you point out are what MR asks of him tho, he’s following instructions be it effective or not. I’d imagine he’d not of anticipated playing this much himself this year but really their hasn’t been any other available options till last the last few weeks. I hope he stays on as...

    Jodi Jones ACL

    It’s a modern problem within the game now, tighter knitted pitches of synthetic and real grass and bladed boots are the issue. I don’t think it’s something as a club we’ve done wrong in the science areas of warm up routines and conditioning of players. It’s just bad luck. ACL injuries are on the...

    Stats are in our favour Coventry have lost just one of their last 28 home league games against Luton (W21 D6), a 1-0 defeat on New Year's Day 1987 in the top-flight. After drawing 2-2 in their most recent league meeting back in March, Luton will be looking to avoid defeat in back-to-back...

    It’s a very technical affair at the top end. Being a pundit for sky is now the safest job in football, unless your Andy Gray. Sky tv have helped in the swing in the way the games played by over analysing things but while it creates good tv it kills managers careers. Brian Clough once famously...

    Like everyone has said feel for him after a long break to then be done for again. I think the club did the right thing with his recovery and it’s just very bad luck. Very very difficult for him to be anything other than a L2 player in the future now if he’s even that lucky I predict given...

    U23 v Palace

    This is most likely 2+2=5 situation but I mentioned about it the other week. Could it be a Joe Anyon? MR knows him from his Scunthorpe days, might be forward thinking for a January shuffle. He’s surplus to requirements at Chesterfield but available on loan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    It’s a good fair question, one you’d have to ask them tho as they are the ones who do it differently. ;-) On a more serious note the games changed over the years and I suppose there is a number of factors. The culture of fans are changing, tv deals are getting bigger, neutral fans and...

    My favourite answer to this is..... Football is a simple game over complicated by tactics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Gillingham too, added to the title of manager of the season 2013/14. All managers have bed spells, really bad spells or some success. * Tony Pulis has never actually been relegated as a manager I believe. (Sorry) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cold hard fact now don’t calculate the fact he’s currently committed to a season long loan to Macclesfield Town, or at least till January. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    All to easy to sit here now and look back and say it’s not working or go as far as to write him off, but if we’d of gone with Ponticelli minus the injury and experienced the same form with Chaplin thats not working to how many would like, confidence has gone how many would be shouting if we’d if...

    It makes me laugh how long ball tactics is bemoaned so much and labelled prehistoric football. Fans of a age of say 35+ grew up on football with effective strong target men and tricky quick wingers with no nonsense midfielders who could play, purposeful balls up to the big man who if your lucky...

    He has only just gone back after being injured tho? That’s a fair assumption in a months time if he’s not getting games or a marker for where he is in his development Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ponti

    That was my first thought but then you look deeper into it it’s ok. A few points to consider... He’s returning from a reasonable lay off so the match minutes he needs, it’s a level he’s comfortable at so that goal brings back the confidence too from his lay off New gaffer wants to see what he’s...

    I think a brief/clarification on positioning in a defensive shape is needed a Ryton when watching this back. If your splitting hairs on your left wide man who you want to hold position on the left don’t have him positioned at the near post for a right hand corner, JCH could of been in his slot...

    Really, that confuses matters more! This is a screen shot for the 1st goal. He’s in shot but plays bypassing him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
