    Who’s your forwards for the next game?

    As title suggests who’s your front pair in a 442 or 4 in a 4231 should you prefer that option for Saturday v Luton to try and kick on before the festive period where big ground can be gained or lost very quickly. It’s important to gain a bit of momentum at this stage of December. *Thread...

    relegation mode

    Mid table has to be the minimum realistic aim for any side getting promotion, so I’m looking to consolidate this season. The positives are we’re 21 points from safety, but the stats if I recall correctly say very few sides have gone back down to L2 the season after promotion. Sent from my...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 15th Dec

    I’d happily swap our results and be struggling against the leagues best if it puts you 2nd in the table like Luton. Luton seem to score with ease and are a good side, really don’t fancy us at all on both our form. However we thought the same going into the game last season at Kenilworth Road...

    FA cup today

    Very poor, a handful of games being televised in the Cup is a good windfall for lower sides and you can justify but ones that are televised just for overseas coverage is terrible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Unrest at Scunthorpe... Difficult times at Scunthorpe this season which has prompted a interesting statement that the chairman has put out Scunthorpe have won just once in the last 10 league games and shipped a staggering 44 goals this season. Scunthorpe are already on manager no 2 of the...

    Our Finishing

    Why you opposed to seeing Hiwula given a run up front in a central striking role? In three seasons in average sides he’s got 9 goals in league one. It’s not breathtaking by any means but potential is there to go beyond the 10 goals mark easily. I’d back him to get 12-15 goals happily...

    So, two weeks before Christmas

    It’s fine lines occasionally, take our early chances the games play out different. The similarities to last year are uncanny, tho I’m not so sure we’re gonna see the same upturn as this league a bit more unforgiving than L2 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Our Finishing

    Not the best of fortunes we’ve had this year in 1v1 situations, JCH scored in the FA Cup game v Walsall but then narrowly missed Saturday, he dragged one wide against Portsmouth too. My minds telling of another but cannot think of it. Hiwula took his at Bradford, Chaplin over hit his chance...

    Unfortunately it’s a issue we’ve not been able to iron out enough but is a huge aspect of the modern game with the players coming through the system. Look at the side against Walsall, in goal Lee Burge isn’t very vocal, in defence on Saturday your only talker at a push is Tom Davies...

    So, two weeks before Christmas

    The 5 game winning run raised expectations for too many beyond reality of where the squad is for this season and I don’t see our fortunes changing too much for the rest of 2018 in terms of consistency tho a win won’t be far away. We’re not far away generally and a match for the majority of the...

    Our Finishing

    Exactly his confidence has gone and now and his overall game is impacted and needs managing by MR, he’s only 21 still and proved he’s the ability to score goals in his early stages of his career mostly at L2 level. It’s all about the pressure and confidence right now and settling away from...

    Our Finishing

    It’s for all to see he’s a striker who be more natural to play off the shoulder and off a natural 6’2”+ target man who opens the space for a player like Chaplin to be more a predator in the 18 yard box. In this set up he’s more often than not being asked to drop into the hole in between where...

    Our Finishing

    Confidence seems a issue in front of goal, that can be as temporary or longstanding and why strikers tend to end up moving from club to club at this level till a good season, or a managers system fits and all the pieces line up occasionally. To much hope was put on Chaplin for my liking under...

    Wasn’t able to attend yesterday and not had chance to watch the game back and only seen the brief highlights. How did we set up in a attacking phase, general shape, formation...etc? Kelly on corners I’m guessing? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Luke thomas - massive concern

    McNulty was the same for a good chunk of last season. Snatching at some chances and never seemed to get a good connection on the ball. Just takes that bit of luck, confidence then builds off that and momentum and belief comes when the chances come. A run of goals then flow in batches Sent...
