Classic letting your opposite number know you are there. Weak ref most of the match missed the intention there and all the shirt pulls and pushes from Stoke.

We wanted the Forest centre back on loan with a view to buy if we got promoted, but they want to sell due to FFP. BNC, I agree. Players with experience who are not too old or injury prone rarely go out on loan.

I agree we can play better than that and frankly we have to. We beat loads of teams better than Stoke last year. Pre-season performances time and time again prove to be a meaningless indication of the real thing. Stoke were rubbish in pre-season and played us off the park in the first half...

Agree with the observation that with Oxford on Friday we will field a mainly second string team. Bristol will have a longer recovery time (I assume) before their next match so will play a slightly stronger side. Will be interesting to see how the "second choice" players perform. As Eccles...

This was a proper match not a pre season non contact game. Our midfield was very poor and bullied by a team with loads of their first choice players missing. They were ready for our wingers and tactically out though us in the first half. Second half we bossed it but never looked like scoring...

Read somewhere the percentage sell on disappears or reduces after this season.

Is it the crocs?

I'd take that now. Predictions in the Championship are impossible to make as (to use a cliche) every team can beat each other. I have mentioned before, teams that were also rans last season have got better managers and are much better organised. Many matches home and away will be battles and we...

Hit wrong button. Was Kitch's man. Dovin was at fault. Wilson or Collins would have been crucified.

Hit wrong button. Was Kitch's man.

I think we will go up this season unless we have really bad luck with injuries or sell a couple of our best players. However, whilst the relegated sides will be favourites, there are a lot of mid table sides from last year who changed their managers and improved their form. A lot of those teams...

The Swifties take up all the tickets. Biggest draw in the world who hoovers up all the money..

They fuck you up, Coventry City

Facts not drivel. Would love to hear your evidence based observations.

Kudos for making a mistake and owning up.

I think you are probably right but until details see the light of day we will not know. I really hope it is not some trivial excuse because Adi was not a yes man. See his response to Mourinho about his coaching methods. You need balls to stand up to the special one when he was at his peak at...

He came in when we were rock bottom sure and playing shit football. We finished higher every year apart from last year when our cup run and injuries caught up with us. We were a whisker away from a cup final. That says with Adi we have never stood still, and there is no evidence to suggest we...

The new Assistant Manager (AM) has a hard act to follow with Adi, as he has been our most successful AM ever. He was consistently successful previously at Chelsea. That is evidence based not speculation. I have seen endless theories on here about players not liking him, bullying and falling out...

We need to be in a situation where players are pretty near max fitness when they start. Players often say they are not 100% when they play such is the intensity of modern football. I hope gone are the days when managers say we will give a player an injection before a match and hope he is OK. Or...
