    Burge 7.5 - couple of good saves (I also reckon he tipped that thunderbolt onto the crossbar), again commanded his area well and did what he had to do Grimmer 7.5 - close to his best game for us so far for mine, was very threatening in the second half Willis 7 - yep, he was good Davies 7.5 -...

    Vincenti

    Not the worst idea in my view. I'd still want at least one of those two holding midfielders to be prepared to play further up the park for spells where we are on top though.

    It'll have to be five own goals at this rate!

    Look I don't wanna be that bloke but this is a game where having a strong lad up front to compete in the air and/or hold the ball up would be useful. They press high, our defenders have no composure or passing range and therefore bang the ball long upfield to two tiny forwards; we lose the ball...

    Coventry City Podcast

    Big fan of the pod myself - when you live so far away and it's impossible to find anything English football-related (that's produced locally, anyway) that isn't wanking itself silly over the same five fecking Premier League clubs, having a pod about your own team is a bloody godsend for keeping...

    Team togetherness

    We don't exactly have the best track record with veteran players who have lower league experience :happy:

    Ratings vs. Grimsby

    O'Brien - 7. Assertive again, though it appears he has been going to the Lee Burge School of Goalkeeper Distribution Grimmer - 7.5. A very solid performance, capped off with a goal from a corner McDonald - 7. Pretty good Willis - 7. Also pretty good Stokes - 7. Also also pretty good (really...

    Yeah, true that.

    Looks of stronger build than the others too (though apparently Biamou is slightly taller), which is another string to his bow.

    I do think Vincenti gave the ball away a bit too much for my liking, but other than that he was alright. I stand by my thought that he'll do well for us.

    Thanks lads. I've now read it and....well he's entitled to express an opinion but I think giving a dude a 9 for 20 minutes' work is a bit over the top!

    Hey look I can accept that we all see things differently but this makes no sense whatever. (Also what's the link) :happy:

    Ratings v Notts Co

    O'Brien 7 - commanded his area well, didn't have to make any real saves; did have a couple of dodgy distribution moments Grimmer 6.5 - was solid, but unspectacular. Does like to get forward but didn't do much when he got there. Would like to see DKE for a comparison McDonald 8 - really like the...

    To be honest, this is the most excited I've been in ages, largely because the whole iFollow thing means that I can now actually watch us play week in, week out like an actual proper supporter :joyful: Think it'll finish 1-1 today, Beavon to score. I reckon it'll take a little bit longer before...

    Walking into Highfield Road for the first time. Having heard countless stories about it since I was a young 'un, just the experience of going up the stairs in the East Stand, and walking out and seeing the pitch....man I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Hearing the SBA sing for the...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Knowing our luck, we'd get the success that resulted in the bulk of these add ons falling due....right as the financial bottom falls out of football and the money dries up!

    So you want to buy CCFC......

    From memory, yes, it did. I only say that because as a former shareholder, I seem to remember trying to line my uncle up to go to a meeting on my behalf. Though I may be misremembering.

    So you want to buy CCFC......

    The "SISU have invested ELEVENTY BAJILLION DOLLARYDOOS" argument has long fascinated me. Do they not realise that they are essentially saying that their acumen is so great, they have pumped all this money into a football team....and the result is that they are two divisions lower than they were...
