    Match Thread Coventry v Watford

    Second half against Forest was much improved, but it wasn’t just the formation change, we also played more offensively. My worry is we’ll show too much respect to Watford and we’ll set out defensively which makes us a worse team, especially as we aren’t really good enough to play on the...

    I’ve had it and quite enjoyed it. I remember it being quite a strong one - just checked and it’s 6.8%!

    Jaipur is an excellent beer, as are the others I’ve had from Thornbridge - not bad people to be friends with, very jealous! I can’t quite make them all out, but I’ve had Electric Boogaloo before and enjoyed it, Moor Brewery are usually pretty good and I had a Salt Brewery beer for the first...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Anyone who has watched Black Sails, how did you watch series 4? 1-3 are on Prime but 4 randomly isn’t and I can’t find it anywhere else obvious (Neflix, Sky, iPlayer (and equivalents) etc).

    DaCosta

    He was excellent. However I put it on the match thread; is that is norm or did he have the game of his life? If it’s the former I’m surprised we haven’t seen him before, even if at LWB. Can we find a way to get him and Dabo in the team? He is reported to be able to play LWB, but he looked...

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Reading the thread you’d think Baka and Biamou are solely to blame for the loss. Would different strikers have made a difference? Maybe. But let’s not forget Biamou did his job and scored. The issue was the other end - if we could defend we wouldn’t have been so heavily reliant on our third and...

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Let’s hope this is one of those games where Baka puts all of his positive attributes together. Granted he hasn’t touched the ball yet, but we can hope.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Looking a lot more likely to score. As we’ve said numerous times; we look so much better when we play offensively. ~25 minutes left - plenty of time. Dacosta having the game of his life! Hamer not so much; for all his creativity he has lots of poor passes in him.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    ANOTHER terrible and sloppy goal to give away. Marosi could have come, but that’s terrible from Rose. Bizzare to bring him on as his fitness and sharpness must be nowhere near. Pask could have moved to CB if we wanted to switch to a three.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Full backs are the weak links at the minute. McCallum sloppy on the ball and looking vulnerable defensively. Pask at fault for the goal, terrible defending. Not excuse as while he’s not a RB he’s a defender and that was basic. Hoping it doesn’t impact his fragile confidence.

    Initiated by Sheaf and brilliantly finished by Biamou. Thats surely going to cause some meltdowns on here.

    I know Mason has been written off but he’s better suited to a back four.

    Positive periods of play so far. Sheaf looking confident and wanting to play forwards. Pitch is terrible. Really like Gyokeres.

    Sweepstake on what minute Oggy will criticise Marosi, subtly or otherwise? I’m going for the 8th minute.

    MR will know even more so than us that it’s a big game. I just hope he doesn’t revert to ultra cautious as it makes us a worse team. If it’s defensive for 45/60 and then push on once they’re tired it’s more acceptable and has worked in the past, but not ultra cautious and hoping for a fluke...

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Definitely a big game tonight and it’s one I’m looking forward to. I would stick with the same team, albeit I’d be slightly worried about tiredness as this is the third game in a week for the same set of players. Important for MR to manage this properly through his substitutions - which isn’t a...

    January transfer window

    Surprised Eccles hasn’t gone anywhere on loan (apologies if loan window doesn’t close today?). He’s looked full of potential when I’ve seen him play and you’d think he’s behind Kelly, James, Hamer, Sheaf and potentially even Allen if he plays deeper, for the CM spots. Potentially argue the...

    Fabio Tavares - Sky Sports Rumour

    Never get the criticism or negativity around this sort of signing (even if it’s just a rumour at this point). Why wouldn’t you want youngsters with high potential within the wider squad. Low risk with a potentially high reward. Don’t underestimate the effect of playing with better players...

    Running

    Once I’m over Covid, running again and feel I’ve regained some fitness I’m up for that. Your route today sounded really good by the way - love off road and canal tow path running.
