    I think we’ll stay tight for 15 then switch to wing backs and two up front which will work well, especially against tired legs. It’s frustrating watching us play within ourselves, but if our game plan is to do that for a period of the game before we push on, and it works then we can’t complain...

    No fucking replays is ridiculous! What was wrong with the goal?

    Not a Shipley hater, but he’s poor today. Most recent example; Giles had the ball wide looking for an option, Shipley as the nearest man made zero effort to offer for the ball.

    Can someone post a replay of the O’Hare penalty/miss?

    Don’t think we’ve got out of first gear yet, and there’s no real style or purpose to our play. Hoping it’s part of the tactic to sit back first half and go for it second. We’ve done it before. It’ll be frustrating if not as Derby don’t look great; on form and not playing within ourselves and...

    Darren Bent is pissing me off.

    I say it every pre game, but if we play our game, are on the front foot and look to attack we’ll do well, in this case a win. The teams confidence will be in a good place after the last few games and we look so much better when we play with belief. Really looking forward to tonight; going to...

    Running

    Ran a half today, which was very much cross country. Literally running through mud at times, and even uphill for some sections. Really takes it out of the legs. The second part of the half felt like it was continuously uphill and my elevation stats after confirmed it - did not enjoy that...

    I hope MR keeps us the random team selections and tactics. His plan is obviously to give SBT something to moan about and confuse the opposition in one fell swoop, and it’s working. Plus it’s fantastic to see the usual negative crowd embarrassed by over dramatic and nonsense pre/in match posts...

    Holy shit, we didn’t los AND Biamou scored. This forum is going to go into meltdown tonight. Some stiff drinks needed for a few people I think.

    Optimistic we can get something from today as long as we don’t play with fear and play our game. I say the same thing every pre game but it’s true. If we are offensive and confident we’re a much better team than when we are over cautious and scared to move or receive the ball. No doubt Norwich...

    Don’t see how you can’t be happy with this one. If we weren’t on a budget I wouldn’t have been surprised to see him signing long term or even back in the summer. He’s a good keeper and more experience in the squad isn’t a bad thing at all.

    Great find! I’m getting this for the baby and the sleep suit for the 15 month old. I’ll also deal with the disapproving partner; 99% sure she threw away the last CCFC baby grow I purchased.....

    I really like it, surprised at the mostly negative reaction! It’s a real shame about the Council link, but ultimately Coventry is our home and it’s right to be involved in the City of Culture stuff, even if we were initially excluded.

    Just finished the new (ish) season of Bosch, and my partner and I are watching The Undoing, but the next episode isn’t out until Monday. So I need two shoes (!); a me show and an us show. Thinking of trying Lucifer, always wrote it off as a cheesy American chick flick type, but reviews are...

    Fantastic finish followed by an terrible miss! He's isolated but took the goal well and is pressing when required. More signs he’s improving, following a good performance last game. Good committed defending from past it McFadzean.

    I know it gets called out every game, but Oggy really does hate Marosi.

    Positive start, especially considering the confusion and commotion around team selection. Not bad for a desperate man... However it’ll be just like us to concede now.

    Get the calls about the potentially bizzare team selection and unclear formation, but don’t agree with the lack of creativity comments. Could (and should) we be more creative? Yep. But there’s enough in there to make something happen, set up dependent.
