    Match Thread Notts County v Coventry Friday 18th May

    If the conditions and pitch are better than Saturday, which surely they will be, I’d back us to win. We were the better team on Saturday in spite of the conditions, we’ll be even more impressive if they are improved for Saturday. As has been the same all season, when we actually play football...

    I agree Willis is the better choice of the two, plus he has pace which is always an asset. However I’m still not as confident with him at CB than Davies when playing against long ball tactics.

    Not sure how the panel works but if they need a unanimous vote then I doubt they’ll be successful. Disagree re Willis/McDonald being suitable replacements for Davies. I’ve seen them get bullied too many times.

    I’ve seen it now. There’s enough doubt around intent, so for that reason surely it cannot be a retrospective ban. Plus if the player involved (Duffy) is not claiming it was intentional surely there is not enough of a case to ban him. But the EFL are clueless fools so who knows. He’s our best...

    Frustrating game as we outplayed them and were clearly the better team, however a combination of the awful pitch and their tactics worked against us. Burge - 7 - did nothing wrong and was in tough conditions for a goalkeeper, especially one whose confidence is frail. Kept his concentration all...

    Penalty Decision Replay

    It was a penalty. The referee was absolutely awful last night, he offered zero protection and was inconsistent in his decision making. The choice of referee for the next game is vital.

    Observations tonight....

    I wouldn’t drop Biamou for JCH, unless we want a player who will spend more time on the floor than on his feet. I’m still not sure what JCH actually offers other than an attitude. He obviously has talent but we’re yet to see it. Saying that, playing all three could be an option, especially as...

    Tom Davis

    Unfortunately I really don’t think he is. Willis is a good L2/L1 CB, but he’s been bullied way too many times this year. He has different strengths to Davies. In terms of the incident I can’t recall it at all for some reason. Is it in the highlights?

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 12th May

    Pre game settlers have started in Byatts! Usually only have a sensible two with lunch/dinner at the pub with food pre game, but as it’s such a big game and we’re starting earlier than normal, and even arriving at the ground earlier, I can see it being at least double that. I’ll see you all on...

    Feeling a bit numb at the minute, but I think it’s because I’ve been with my girlfriend all morning who doesn’t actually care so it’s been a distraction. Which to be fair I did ask her to be. Going to meet my dad and mates in just over an hour, I have a feeling the reality of it will kick in...

    I’m genuinely not sure how I feel. It’s waves of nerves, excitement, anxiousness, confidence and worry. Either way, however people are feeling, there should be a realisation of how significant a game this is. It’s ten times bigger than the JPT final for me. I’m sticking with 3-0, although...

    Westbrooke signs for next season

    Surely that’s perfect for a 4-2-3-1 with those three behind the forward. Three attacking centre midfielders with two shoehorned onto the wings - that’s Robins idea of perfection isn’t it? In all seriousness I could see two of them playing together, dependent on formarton (e.g. christmas tree)...

    Pathetic. I bet they think they’re real wheeler dealers. No, you’ve just made £5 at the expense of your own fans.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 12th May

    Player v player we have the better team, so the result depends on two things: 1) the mental strength of our players 2) MR’s tactics. The latter is especially important; if Robins allows us to attack and gives the front 4/5 freedom I think we’ll take them by surprise and win comfortably...

    Help of all City fans!

    Good idea. I’ll bring my CCFC scarf!

    Away leg ticket details

    Definitely not, with 4000 available and 2 per ST I expect them to be sold pretty quickly. Purchasing ours first thing tomorrow.

    What's for Lunch?

    I have sushi most days for lunch. Boots do a pretty good Salmon and Prawn Sushi salad. It’s a pretty healthy lunch and you avoid the stodge of a sandwich.

    L1/L2 2018 released list

    Just googled it - yes, for assaulting a police officer. Not his first time in court either, although he was found not guilty first time round. Him and JCH in the changing room could be interesting.
