    I have been thinking about that and given how deep Grimes sits why not effectively play him as the third CB? Worry with that is that the FB have to push forward leaving space and we saw they can cause problems in behind with pace. I'm basically trying to pick 11 players who would be able to...

    Irony is that a certain CoH would be perfect for that situation. Only other one who could do it IMO is Torp, who can also shoot from range, but is out. Could Rudoni adapt to being played as a 10 and carrying the ball? Might sound mad but if we're still a goal down with 10 mins to go I'd...

    But they needed to acknowledge that was because they needed to score and he had space. That was never going to happen in the first leg of a play off game.

    If I were Sunderland boss you'd have to be thinking of just playing the same tactics again. They have a lead so can afford to and we've shown all season we struggle to beat it. But at the same time because they're at home the fans are likely to get restless at them seemingly inviting pressure...

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    I feared Sunderland would turn up and just defend and they did. And once again we did the thing that has failed all season even against the poorest teams in the division - AAATB, take ages to make any attempt to break them down and when a shooting/crossing chance comes in more often than not...

    We hardly created any chances despite them defending for 90 mins and got caught out the few times they tried to break, scoring two.

    Wilson - 5. Maybe could have been stronger with their first and was left totally exposed for the second. Dasilva - 6.5 Did an admirable job and didn't get caught out behind too often, MvE - 5. Got to lose at least one mark for that backpass. Thomas - 5.5. Seemed to be covering their striker for...

    Indeed, but I could tell from 5 mins in it was a game we were going to struggle in. All season when we've played that ponderous, slow passing around at the back when teams sit back and choosing to turn back when a chance to cross or shoot presents itself. We have possession, don't really create...

    Well we did lose the first leg, so the tactics weren't ok.

    Forte Disallowed Goal

    No they're not - they're the toss of two coins. We lost both. Both times.

    Not a particular stone we want to be throwing given the ongoing situation with our (former) drummer.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    So basically people that can't get a home can go fuck themselves because some financial institutions might not make money as quickly.

    Not if its violent conduct, so lets hope a massive scrap starts. Then the replacements can get sent off for two bookings in the second leg.

    VE Day

    Indeed, though it is also a day to realise we must not be complacent. We have the major world powers being run by Trump, Xi and Putin. Then there are the likes of Meloni, Orban, Netanyahu and Modi as well as others in South America and likely Africa, plus the likes of Le Pen and Farage gaining...
