    Feeling positive about tomorrow. Performances haven’t been great and obviously the Cardiff result was poor, but barring Hamer we have arguably our first XI available (Dabo/Kane debate aside). I would go two up front - Gyokeres is absolutely getting back to his best, but he was as good alongside...

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    Everyone is entitled to their view, but this is a crazy threat. Our attacking threat would diminish to zero without him. And that’s without even thinking about the substantially weaker alternatives we actually have in our squad. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve said this recently...

    So he is a dick then but just one you route? I get that bit, as I am routing for him. But thus far he’s pretty selfish and not a fan of the way he treats Ruth - thats my main bug bear.

    No spoilers as I’m only on Ozark episode 4 of season 2, but is it just me or is Marty a bit of a dick?

    Still very much this.

    Trouble / Segregation at the CBS

    Away days used to be absolutely great, a real sense of Cov fans together, united etc. Great banter and a real sense of camaraderie. These days it’s full of idiots wanting to fight not just the opposition but each other. I’m sure coke has a big part to play, but now we’re successful (in a...

    Maatsen

    People not rating COH is absolutely ridiculous. He could and should score more, but that shortfall by no way outweighs the numerous other attributes he adds. Measuring effectiveness by goals scored is absolutely dinosaur. Maatsen also gets way too much unfair criticism. He’s inconsistent, but...

    Bidwell

    He was poor against Bowler too. But the overall point remains, Kane and Bidwell together as WB’s is detrimental to our system.

    Bidwell

    I think the third paragraph was especially evident today. Kane and Bidwell together means our ability to play through the wing backs, and push their full backs deeper is greatly reduced. Appreciate Kane wasn’t great today but he can offer an attacking threat through this crossing. Not sure what...

    Match Thread Reading (away)

    There should be absolutely zero moaning. We won. It doesn’t matter how we play, what subs are or are not made. When we play well and don’t win, there’s no compromise, it’s all out extreme viewpoints. Surely this is the same isn’t it?

    Bidwell

    It’s early days still, he’s not played regularly for a while and he’s getting used to how we play. His record is impressive so I’m sure he’ll be an addition to the squad. I’ve said all this before. However, the WB roles are massively important to how we play and he doesn’t look a natural WB to...

    Josh Eccles injury

    Big blow. The closest we have to a Sheaf replacement and we could have done with that today when he was looking leggy. He can’t catch a break. Let’s hope it’s just an unlucky spell and he isn’t one of those unfortunate players who seems to constantly pick up injuries.

    Get him signed up

    Definitely the best he’s played for a while. Positively influenced the game, and not just with his passing range, but helped us play on the front foot. Walked the tight rope of aggressive closing down/tackling fairly well, especially post booking. But he targeted Bowler and helped minimise his...

    Binged Ozark season one a few years ago and enjoyed it. Immediatey started season two and my partner randomly went off it, and I’ve never returned to it. After the frustration of tonight I’m re-starting season two based on the numerous recommendations on here and my initial enjoyment of it...

    Lot of sub par performances this half especially. If we don’t win it’s definitely point dropped.

    We’ve looked tired all game. Definite downgrade WB wise now, and the role is pivotal to how we play. We look absolutely off the pace now.

    Maatsen looks a bit intimidated by their winger and it’s impacting his performance. He is very good but not seen him like that before. Sheaf looks tired. Real shame as he’s key to how we play.Typical Eccles is out as he’s the closest we have.

    Gyokeres definitely back to his confident ways. I’m the biggest fan of Sheaf but he’s a bit quiet today. For all hisfaults Shipley’s movement between the lines is actually pretty good.

    Playing well and we look to create every time we attack. Lack of end product is still a frustrating theme, but that will change. We absolutely deserve and will win this.

    Good to see this absurd stance of making COH to boo boy is continuing. Far more players at fault for the goal and far more contributing a lot less.
