    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Blackpool Match Thread - Saturday 29th Oct

    Disagree with the dig at social media - I like it. It's saying don’t belief every single rumour and actually agrees with your last point - they won’t want social media nonsense going round as it’s another “thing” for them to deal with / a potential unwarranted distraction. Side note; you’re...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Blackpool Match Thread - Saturday 29th Oct

    Not a massive fan of his but it’s probably a game for Kane. Offensively they’re decent and Kane is the natural defender. Equally though I imagine we’ll play more football and have more space on Saturday to do so, so Eccles may be able to play his game more. Would love COH to start but he...

    Depends what you want pre match - it works for us as it’s quiet (we sometimes have kids/grandkids with us), food is always great, they have guest ales and it’s a decent walk down the tow path to the ground. Very different pre-match routine and atmosphere to away days!

    Hops is the only proper micropub in Coventry centre. Beer Gonzo and Twisted Barrel are a go to for craft drinkers too, albeit the menu in the former can be a little too sour or strong ABV focussed. Dhillons at the Spire is ok, but slightly disappointing choice considering it’s a brewery...

    Get in. Surely we have a third in us now. PS two assists for Palmer? He still shit?

    I’m not a fan so I’m not exactly objective, but I absolutely don’t get the Kane sub. Or Panzo really (although assuming that’s due to Fadz yellow?). I’ll say it; COH is crazy rusty.

    That’s like something form a comedy sketch. Terrible terrible goal.

    Ah what? But that Palmer is shit isn’t he?

    This is sort of game we miss offensive wingbacks. Still a goal is coming 100%.

    Goal is coming. Every time we lift the tempo we look a step above. Still COH to come on too. There seems a lot is space to exploit between their defence/attack.

    Still feel it’s if not when. Aside from the first 20, we’ve looked the superior team - reminiscent of last year. Their goal was a sucker punch and poor from Dabo and Wilson. We still have COH to come on and impact the game, and even with it we’ll score. I don’t really rate Kane, he has...

    Fuck off Dabo. Can’t work out if Wilson didn’t move because it was hit that hard, he was caught wrong footed or it’s just poor keeping.

    Starting to feel like it’s when not if we score. HT coming at the wrong time for us. Palmer growing in confidence and looking the better for it. His ability should never be in doubt, he needs to work on impact now - it’ll come.

    Oggy calling Kasey Palmer, Carlton Palmer genuinely made me laugh.

    Unfortunately was a dive; he avoided the keeper then went down! If he ran into him it would have been a definite foul and red card!

    Now it’s a mixture of home and away commentary. Watching at home is not fun - bloody kids!!!

    Strong enough team to get a win. And even more exciting, a really impactful bench too. One of the kids is ill, so absolutely gutted I can’t go tonight as really enjoyed the increasingly great atmosphere and I imagine todays will be another step up. Plus who doesn’t love a night game. 2-0...

    Personally feel he has a lot more to offer. I wouldn’t but surprised if we see more of the player maker side on show if we play the box with COH and Allen/Palmer ahead of him. And/or wing backs playing more offensively. Made the point before, but the performances of players like him and Sheaf...

    Bidwell & Panzo V Maatsen & JCS

    It’s a shame we don’t have a Maatsen like player (I know we tried and it all went weirdly wrong with Adaramola), as while Bidwell has massively stepped up and shown he is a solid Championship defender, if we do revert back to playing the football of last year he’ll struggle to offer an offensive...
