    Video Doncaster Rovers Away Reaction | Marko Marosi

    Burge would have conceded some of those shots if he was still our keeper. Glad we have 2 capable keepers now.

    8 Games in 32 days

    There is a limitation to human endurance. We don’t have such a big squad like many people think. Yes, we can interchange a few parts and pieces, but the more games we play with little time for rest in between matches raises the risk for fatigue and injuries. And if anyone were to get suspended...

    I wasn’t referring to the town. Please see the original message and the context in which I made reference to the football team.

    Time for Cov fans to show up at St Andrews, be vocal and be the 12th man and cheer us to victory against these fellow promotion challengers. Big win today and one I thought we had to win after last week's draw. We have a game in hand on the top 3 and after next week, we will have an additional...

    McCallum should have scored, but they should have had a penalty. Their players seem to fall too easily in and around our box. Shipley's goal was very well taken. We need to keep up the pressure on their goal and not sit back and invite pressure. Need a second goal to try to kill this off. Timely...

    Looking at that bench, I wonder if we will ever see Hiwula play again for us. Been ages since he played and didn't even get a sniff in the FA Cup match. Still remember his great goal vs Portsmouth early in the season (I know he also missed several gilt-edged chances along the way including a...

    Looks like Darren Moore and McSheffrey were on a spying mission in midweek to check out our team. Hope we’ve done our homework on them as well. Would love to win this one as it would be a big statement. Time to start beating the teams in and around the top 10 to get some separation.

    I agree that starting Shipley, O’Hare, Kelly and Walsh as part of our midfield to support Godden in attack is probably our most potent offense and one that could generate goals. We could bring Allen and Biamou in the second half if this formula doesn’t work. We should not play for a draw and...

    Heard gate receipts will be split between us and them. So hope for a good turnout.

    Interesting line-up. The most interesting bit is how Marosi is named in both in the starting 11 and as a substitute as well (see link below) Coventry City v Bristol Rovers - live updates

    Where will we finish (new)

    Prior to today’s match, I would’ve thought that a win today a MK Dons and a draw next week vs Doncaster would have really been a good set of results. After today’s draw, I feel it is imperative that we beat Doncaster next week. That will be a big ask considering their recent form. We need to...

    This is going to be a very tough game. They are a team that’s on a roll now and suddenly high on confidence. New manager, Russell Martin, has turned them around and sounded very confident in his pre-match interview. Their player, Alex Kibley, won player of the month for Dec. So we cannot take...

    Match Thread Match thread - F a cup 3rd round - Bristol Rovers

    Entertaining match. Could have easily won it if attempts by Godden, Shipley and Westbrooke had found the net. Rovers had a great attempt to make it 3-1 when the post saved us and that would have killed the game. Walsh was my MoM. Well taken first goal and forced the OG for the second goal. Still...

    Tough call. Tempted to rest key players like Godden, Kelly, Shipley, Fadz etc. and rotate the squad a little to give others (like Hiwula, Mason, Allen, O'Hare, Baka) more minutes and freshen things up a bit. For me. league is priority #1 and then comes the cup (although I know we need the money...

    The "Half" way point

    Looking back at the past 5 seasons, on average a team needs around 72 points to just make the playoffs and around 90 points to get second place (autos). Since all teams are playing 2 fewer games due to Bury's expulsion, I think we need to factor that somehow into the equation. I think mid to...

    Bright Enobakahre

    Not sure about this one. Many valid arguments made here by all. However, when he’s on his game, he gives opposing defences a torrid time. Also, I recall that Hiwula thrived when Bright was here. So I think it might be worth taking a chance.

    Is this our year ?

    We need to stay grounded and take it 1 game at a time. As of Jan 1, only 10 points separate the top 10 teams. It’s anybody’s guess who can make it out of this pack.

    Great result despite conceding what I hear was a sloppy goal and weathering a nervy start to the second half. Most results (bar Rotherham) went our way although we have a game in hand over Rotherham. All in all a very nice start to 2020 and let's keep it going.
