    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Tranmere Rovers Match Thread - Sunday 13th Oct

    After a few below par results and performances MR is well within his rights to make a few changes. Assuming he keeps the same formation, I’d go: Marosi Dabo Hyam Rose Mason Walsh Kelly Shipley O’Hare Godden Hiwula We lose O’Hares creativity in the middle, but it’s mitigated somewhat by the...

    Our Fans

    It’s a real shame to read the various accounts in this thread, especially the racism. Fighting at football is never acceptable, but fighting amongst our own fans is another level of stupidity. Also, whatever the event, grown men doing coke is absolutely tragic.

    Keep the same as is, I don’t understand some of the calls to change the team: Start Kelly - he clearly isn’t ready to come straight back into the team, and why rush when Walsh is a more than adequate replacement (even if he’s becoming a target for some on here). Drop McFadzean - What?! I...

    Gervanne Kastaneer

    Not sure I’m as excited as some after his cameo on Saturday; his touch was off and he doesn’t look technically brilliant, plus his positional sense wasn’t fantastic. However as he grew into the game and got on the ball more he turned into the player we all thought we’d signed. His direct...

    I’m at the game. Plus, people love to be negative, you’ll see.

    Feeling confident. Quiet match thread - bet that’ll change at the first sign of anything to be negative about.

    I’m sure this has been asked before but can you pay on the gate today? I think I've roped two mates into joining us last minute!

    abstaining fans

    God this is grim reading. I personally don’t agree with or understand abstaining fans; support the team, forget the politics. I do agree with each to their own and all that, however posters peddling the same boring negative rhetoric need to find another forum. We’re in Birmingham, we all...

    Screams of desperation to remain relevant. I like him, he’s a nice guy and was a good player for us in his day, but Christ what’s the point. And it gives CT more negative ammunition against the club.

    Why does it appear that every game we’re playing an amazing side we should be wary of. We’re a good side, we’re officially the second best side in the league as it stands. Doncaster (and every other team) will be worried about us. We play the high tempo passing football we are clearly capable...

    Running

    There’s quite a few half marathons coming up in October (e.g. Rugby, Leicester, Birmingham). Anyone doing any? I haven’t ran since the baby was born (four weeks Monday), but still tempted to do Rugby and Birmingham. Just not sure how good an idea it is without much prep!

    I reckon I’m the only idiot here in shorts. The over excitement of being let out the house for the first time since the baby was born, definitely going to regret it later.

    Thanks! Although so good it didn’t warrant a like? Not that it’s about likes obviously.....

    Can people start to realise we’re a very good team, even if we’ve only demonstrated it in glimpses. We’ve played poor teams and good teams (including Portsmouth who everyone seemed to bum), and bar one game, have come away with good results each time. We’ve won ugly and we’ve won pretty. We’ve...

    Player ratings

    Late to the party, but: Marosi - 7.5 - convinced me he was actually s good goalkeeper as well as a footballer with some of his saves. Composure on the ball is excellent, especially considering he’s a L1 goalkeeper. Dabo - 7 - over aggressive at times, but he’s defensively sound and influences...

    Confident of a victory. I appreciate the calls for O’Hare, but I’d keep the same team unless Shipley is knackered. We played some great football last game before O’Hare was on, so I’d like to see them give another go. No point risking Mason, especially when McCallum has one of his strongest...

    I’m hopeful Kasteener comes good, and Jobello too. Plus we have O’Hare and Bapaga if needed. And I’m not writing Hiwula off just yet. But I agree, another wide player/inside forward/winger (however pedantic you want to be), would have been ideal.

    Imagine if we had effective wingers.... They are making options to be fair to them, but end product is poor - Jobello weak and Hiwulas touch is non existent. We’re playing well and full of confidence, just need to make the break through.
