Teams that take a tonking like we did on Wednesday, often react with a positive result in their next match so hoping that's the case with us. We obviously could have hoped for easier looking opposition but it is what it is. I do worry about Hamer's absence given his influence on our home form...

In the equivalent games last season by my reckoning we won 2, lost 4 and drew 4, which makes 10 points. Even though that return would be disappointing to some, any improvement on it would still show the club in an upwards trajection.

Yes, sorry you are absolutely correct. That wasn't the point I was trying to make. I certainly wouldn't support the abuse of our club staff.

Time will tell but at this stage we just have to hope its a blip. Every season produces the odd bizarre result and performance, so let's hope that's all it was. The reaction against Fulham will be interesting, as after last night most people will expect another tonking.

I gave up watching after the 1st half so don't know if things changed in the 2nd (although too late by then even if so), but I was particularly disappointed that we continued to play short from the back, on a tight pitch that favoured pressing, and also when they were so pumped up with the...

.... but its the club's decision to use Ticketmaster!

I believe we had a very big support there in the cup in 1980. Blackburn were only a Division 3 side then, while the week before our young team had beaten the mighty Liverpool, so optimism was high amongst our support. Typically we lost 1-0..

I agree we got a good deal on him, but your 2nd line is ridiculous. We don't know his limits, and given its not long since he came from non league he has huge scope for improvement. If the likes of Jack Cork, Jack Stephens and Ollie Norwood can make it to the top flight I don't see why...

Genuinely nice lad too

As its only hypothetical I would say no, we would be better hanging onto the end of the season and selling then if we had to. In the real world we would probably sell.

Correct. In retrospect I should have ignored your irrelevant post 🙄

If its the incident I'm thinking of I thought McFadzean caught him, albeit accidentally. JH seemed to be nursing a fat lip afterwards.

To be fair they have not yet played at the Arena, or bar one early round league cup game in the 80's haven't played a game in Cov since the 60's. It will be a new ground for them just as Craven cottage will be to most of our fans, which is likely to prove a draw to many.

In terms of the FA Cup we should always go for it as best we can, otherwise we are disrespecting our own history. Haven't been overly concerned by League Cup for a long time however, which has little upside to it until you reach the semi finals. I don't buy into the argument that an FA Cup run...

We should be eternally grateful that CCFC84 didn't get his way, or we would have been watching Gnanduillet or Glen Murray instead!

Can't quite remember the chronology either, but I don't think any political party has an idealogical stranglehold on this issue.

This was arguably Van Gool's best game for us :) Leicester City 1 Coventry City 3 1980-81 - YouTube

It is always going to be problematic and unrealistic to expect bookmakers to police and control problem gamblers, given they are profit led organisations. The answer I guess would be as in some other countries for gambling to be state regulated, but non profit making, so that the gambling...

I understand this is personal to you and I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but not everyone that gambles is out of control. That said I've never understood why the gambling industry hasn't faced the same advertising restrictions as alcohol and tobacco companies have had to deal with.

Not sure how many deductions they had but sure Luton were docked something like 24 points the season they fell out of the league.
