    When Saturday Comes - Spoilt for Choices?

    Just wondering a lot of people are talking about jigging about the defence but not many seem to be juggling midfield and strikeforce which let's face it have been the weakest areas ofl the team to date. With players coming back to fitness in these areas I am also wondering if some players seen...

    Platt?

    Cody & Bigi to start seems fair enough given their second half display. However a little surprised Platt not even in the 16? Would expect both him and Deegs on the bench put him ahead of ROD anyway, any know if Platt is injured or is it just a selection choice from AT. PUSB!

    Is Our Squad Really that Bad?

    So I repeat my question earlier - is our squad really that bad? Macdonald sounded good second half...maybe Platt's comeback gave him a bit of a kick up the backside.....three people competing for two places now Wood = Two games, one goal only one goal conceeded, Crainie to come back as well...

    Is Our Squad Really that Bad?

    I have been reading a lot of threads regarding how poor our squad is. however in comparison to most of championship squads bar the big hitters such as West Ham I have to say I disagree. Going with the two players to each squad position thing we are not too bad. Goalies: Murphy - Decent chship...

    A Clingan injury means we are fooked?

    Hmm a tricky one I think personally he is majorly overrated......however we cannot afford to lose any more players at present. However worse case scenario we do have a young enthusiastic replacement in Bigi. In my opinion Clingan and himself were too similar in the team together. Do not know...

    Are We Simply Too Nice? Certainly No Crazy Gang!

    Hmm I think people are getting sidelined by our pretty but ineffective posession football which goes sideways or backwards butlacks tempo and due to this is pretty ineffective. Normally see eye to eye with non-league but not on his last post......let's break it down Passing - yes I Conceed we...

    Bring back Eastwood

    I think definitely more than meets the eye - given goal return from strikers who have been playing Eastwood should at least be on bench even if not fit. I also think Platt should start up top with Juke as it gives us the option to go long.....despite passing the ball round we only go sideways...

    Clive Platt

    Hmm a bit bemused again by dismissive quotes about Platt in comparison with Rod and cmd. Both Latter players have done far less in games and had far more minutes on the pitch. Platt had far less of game time this season and in my opinion has contibuted so much more....I for one think he would...

    Platt's the way to do it!

    Cheers folks from reading Rob's previous comments I knew he was not his biggest fan I still think he is being overly harsh though! :p Maybe he is better as an impact sub but personally think even if you think he is useless a big lump who shakes up defences is more effective than a buzzy...

    Platt's the way to do it!

    I know I am going to get stick but some people seem to have a real pren hoblem with Platt just because he is an honest journeyman. I still feel if you looked at his record in open play he has a similar record than Juke who although I like I feel is very overrated by many. Again when Platt came...

    Juke

    I think Juke is a very hard working player but in my eyes will always flatter to decieve....efoort does not equal ability. I could be wrong but if you deduct pens form Juke's goal accounts the much maligned Platt will have probably contributed more goals and assists in open play. Saw Platt &...

    One the subjeect of Pubs

    Browns what a weird place. I do not live in Coventry but tend to meet up once a year for uni reunion as studied in Cov. We have a bet can we get in Browns or not.......thing is the place is so shit when you get in there and lacking in atmosphere that you are almost upset not to get chucked...

    How did Cody do ???????

    Bit bemused by a few comments from Wallace and others, think they must be trying to make themselves look like saints? I don't think anyone on the entire thread has "slagged" McDonald off at all and I am struggling to see any "harsh" criticisms of him. All most people are saying is that he...

    How did Cody do ???????

    You could tell he had not played much gametime looked way off the pace.......however it adds competition for places and O'Donovan looked much more lively when he came on almost scored with his first touch. With Sheff coming back and arguably maybe Eastwood and Platt on their way back things are...

    david bell

    Hmm not sure the two above were at the game.....was this not the same David Bell who robbed someone through persistence on the byline, and rolled the ball back for our best chance created of the whole match that Juke fluffed twice from eight yards??? To be honest I thought Sammy had a bit of a...

    Boro want Juke on loan

    Yes done deal and Juke told me he is having sausage and chips on the way up as well! What a load of nonsense, I do not believe this for a second! Would be willing to lay a bet he will not go to Boro tomorrow on loan. Juke strikes me as a player who gives his all even if unhappy, we have no...

    Who would you start against Derby?

    Full Backs Just wondering people's thoughts on changing our full backs. Christie looks promisng but a little naieve and Hussey for me has slightly disappointed since he became established in frst XI? I suppose we have not let in many but just feel maybe getting Wood, McPake or Cameron could...

    BIG BEN v the BACK FOUR

    I think Turner probably has to build up match fitness so will probably be on the bench to begin with. However I think people are getting a little carried away with Christie who I watched get destroyed by Wilfred Zaha at Palace! Personally would pick 2 of 3 from McPake, Turner and Wood when...

    Thorn and Subs

    Just think Thorn missed a trick last night? Christie was clearly knackered and struggling last 15. The clear option was to bring on Cameron or McPake for Christie - I know Keogh was playing superbly but he could have shuffled across to right back and one of the above could have seen out last...

    Mindless Speculation!!

    Can people putting titles what I have heard, a reliable source etc please refrain from putting such messages on this forum!! Not one of them seems to really have a clue, as we all don't so it really is a waste of time! I have heard so much crap it is untrue. I realise we are all hoping for...
