    Match Thread Coventry City - Watford FC Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    Yeah, I don't normally pay much attention to performances of opposition players, but Chakvetadze was superb all game. A class above the Championship I think.

    Dean Austin position untenable

    We didn't all think it though. Some of us have tried in vain all season to counterbalance the absurd bollux that's posted on here after every defeat. It reaches the point where you just have to sigh and let it go.

    If you live within 45 mins walk of the ground, I can't imagine that driving was ever worth the bother.

    The consensus on here is often nonsense. Our problems this season have been in the two penalty areas.

    Got to be Roy Barry alongside Gary Gillespie. That would be awesome.

    Colin Hendry was a good player in his day, but truly awful for us.

    Transfer Rumour New signing pending - Rabbi Matondo

    There was definitely a match in the late 1960's when our entire forward line (7 to 11) was Scottish. Carr, Gibson, Martin, O'Rourke and Hannigan? Possibly Quinton Young instead of one of those?

    IMO the correct meaning is what you've said in quotes. The Telegraph have put the comma in the wrong place, and I suspect it should be after the word 'games' 🙂

    Got to disagree here - today stood out as a really poor quality game IMO

    Bidders New Contract

    Surprised it didn't come up with this... "Cross and Blockwell" - an amusing wordplay on two of his footballing skills and his reputation for drinking canned soup

    Anyone we bring in has to be able to do way more than Maguire did.

    Dasilva New Position

    I agree he was probably bought to pay LWB, but for me a good wingback should be able to motor up and down the pitch all game, covering a huge amount of ground and doing attacking and defensive duties in equal measure. I don't see that in him, just a neat footballer who can play in tight spaces.

    Dasilva New Position

    Always felt it weird that he's considered as a left back. Totally unsuited to it. Could imagine him better playing centre mid in a possession-based side. Not sure he could do it in a league like the Championship though.

    I don't doubt your recollections, but Spider was a superb and reliable left back from a defensive point of view, and his popularity was justified. I doubt if he ever scored a goal though (I can't recall one) and I imagine he had very few assists. Those stats probably weren't gathered in those days.

    I seem to remember Chris Cattlin made a big impact straight away. Didn't he mark George Best out of the game on his debut? Memory might be playing tricks of course 😏

    More xG Stuff

    The chart reinforces my feeling that our general play has been decent nearly all season (bar a small number of poor games or horrible halves). The problems have been in both penalty areas, which obviously translates into points being lost. I actually think we've had more than our fair share of...

    There's been bloody silly negativity on here all season.
