Errr… home game for me, but nowhere worse, I would think, for fans travelling from Cov…

I like what I see of Obikwu, but it doesn’t look as if he’s going to get a chance here at the moment, so surely a loan, and possibly Dausch?

There were some pretty poor refereeing decisions over the weekend. How Joelinton wasn’t sent off for dragging the Bournemouth goalkeeper down by the neck…… And then in our game, the guy grabs Wright whose just running off with the ball, and then swings a punch at him. The ref booking them both...

Hard to disagree with your comments, an all round poor performance to be sure..

It’s true that Simms does not seem able to hold the ball up and bring other players into the game. Initially Wright was the same, and we have missed Vik who was able to hold the ball and occupy at least two of the opposition’s defenders. Wright is improving in this respect, but the number of...

I have a football fan cousin who lives in Mechelen, and although he supports the city‘s second team, he keeps abreast of all things KV Mechelen. He tells me that their fans are sick to have lost him, really rated him. He played 22 matches for them in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, scoring 5...

Fair enough my friend, I don’t think we’re a million miles apart. Let’s hope the Gateshead player does make a full recovery, and that they are both able to continue their careers. Interestingly, Olley has released a classy statement today where he‘s very gracious regarding Dion, and Gateshead...

He may well be a good lad, I don’t know him, and my comments are about a tackle that got him immediately sent off, and I make no comment about him as a person. Your post just seemed to celebrate Kelly-Evans while totally ignoring the impact on the Gateshead player.

You maybe want to rethink this?

Yep, I suspect from the reaction of the heed players, that it may have been similar to the David Bust injury at Manchester United. There wasn’t any fighting, just massive concern for the player, apart from Kelly-Evans. If the challenge is as bad as is being suggested, then there needs to be...

Just noticed that some idiot called Boosh has been on the Oxford forum trying to wind them up.

I haven’t got a ticket, but you can get a home ticket from their ticket office up to kick off time, which I will be doing. The only requirement is to be able to sit on your hands at least 5 times when we score.….

I agree with the sentiment here. There’s no doubt our squad is much stronger, but have we replaced Hamer, Gyokeres, or a fully fit O’Hare? Have we got that spark that turns us from a solid top half of the table team, to a top 6/autos team? Perhaps Rudoni or EMC will provide that spark, time will...

I’ll be travelling to Ashton Gate on Tuesday without a ticket, will go in the home end, unless somebody has a spare ticket I can collect (and pay for) on the night. Will be another ground ‘ticked off’, and looking forward to seeing City for the first time this season.

I think their fans maybe. They’re pretty pessimistic about the new season. As for us, yep, I think we probably have been over-hyped, but early days (obviously), need Sheaf back and let’s see as the season develops.

I haven’t seen the game, but I was surprised to see he’d picked Allen. Think if we are a top 6 side, then Allen doesn’t start. And shouldn’t Wright have started?

Yep, sat in the Everton end for that one, couldn’t get a Cov ticket. A good performance, but Everton definitely on the beach. An important result, because would we have won the cup if we’d been relegated in that season? Wonder how many players in that team were in the Cup Final. Quite a few, I’d...

Good luck to the Cov fans in Berlin today - hope you have a great day, ticket or no ticket, win or lose! It’s been good to hear from you!

It was interesting to hear, I think, Lee Dixon, saying, ‘ I will be amazed if this is a penalty‘, but when he saw the referee called to the monitor, he said ‘I’ll be amazed if it’s not a penalty’. Says it all about how ref’s are being influenced in their decision making by VAR, and not always...

Agree, the defender has the right to try and block the shot, and Kane’s momentum from the shot resulted in him kicking the defender’s foot. What’s the defender supposed to do? Say ‘after you, Harry’? The referee, who I thought did ok otherwise, should have had the bottle to stick with his...
