    Match Thread Coventry City at Cheltenham Town Match Thread - Saturday 28th Apr

    Nobody special, just a team based north of Coventry. You? Although I have missed a few games this season to watch Cov, however I’d say I’ve regretted it 75% of the time!!

    Match Thread Coventry City at Cheltenham Town Match Thread - Saturday 28th Apr

    I am worried about tomorrow. It would be typical Coventry to continue to implode, lose tomorrow and watch Mansfield win 3-0. I know it is against his nature, but Robins NEEDS to play an attacking team and tactics. If we play for a draw tomorrow we are shooting ourselves in the foot as either a)...

    Is there a future for the kelly-evans brothers?

    Dion was one of the few positives from last season, so it’s surprising to see he has been nowhere near the team. Even if he is injured, I’d keep him for next season. Unfortunately Devon has been poor in the games I’ve seen; not direct or pacey enough for a winger and potentially not good enough...

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    But even the two January signings could be argued against as a) we shouldn’t have needed to sign a winger as we should have addressed the position in summer or b) they are bad signings by MR. However, I accept he’s been unlucky with illness and the fact Barratt is one of many who can’t transfer...

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    I don’t want Robins to be sacked, and I appreciate he has taken us to within touching distance of the play offs, but I am becoming frustrated with him. He has been given a lot of slack for losing two key players, and rightly so, but that was how many games ago and we still haven’t really worked...

    Terrible terrible night. I’m on the way back to London now and have had time to reflect over night otherwise I genuinely think I’d have given the whole team a 0, bar Doyle. Burge - 5 - could have claimed the fourth and a dodgy moment early on when he let the ball get away from him after he’d...

    Match Thread Coventry vs Lincoln Match Thread - 24th April

    We have started the second half the same as the first; tactically clueless. No idea what our game plan is. There’s is clear; long ball and time waste. We are literally clueless in the air. McDonald is a liability. Take Shipley off and let’s attack. When we pass and move they struggle...

    When we actually get the ball down, pass and move, we look good. We need to do it more. Shipley is having a poor game offensively.

    Typical City. Defence looks really vulnerable already. Not sure what formation we’re attempting to play. Shipley almost seems to be making up the three up front. Bizarre. As I type McDonald gets bullied. Shock.

    Match Thread Coventry vs Lincoln Match Thread - 24th April

    I don’t know much about Rhead other than the fact he is reportedly an old fashioned target man. If so, I’d drop McDonald, he’s not been the same player the last few weeks and I’ve seen him (and Willis) get bullied too many times this season. I’d keep Willis in as his pace is an asset, especially...

    Genuinely can’t work out if Kelly and JCH are good or not? Pointless Ponticelli playing thus far.

    To be fair it was an idiotic pass to play, but McDonald should never have had his pass blocked, he had loads of time. Both absolute liabilities.

    Tonight will be a real test of character after the last home game. I’m hoping they don’t let us down and that includes MR with selection and tactics. I’m missing my (fairly important) game tonight for this, I really hope it’s worth it. 2-0, Bimaou x2.

    Probably, but that still means 1/4 midfielders has any creativity. And even that is hit and miss. I’d stick with the same team. We’re at home and need to win, surely attack is the best way to go. However, we know Robins fears attacking so I doubt it.

    Haha true. Although I wouldn’t put it past L2 refs based on this season.

    The worry with dropping Bayliss is the immediate lack of creativity. Especially if he drops back to 4-4-4-2 with Shipley, Kelly, Doyle, ??.

    Actual Carl Baker Day - It has happened!

    Don’t understand the hate for Baker. He didn’t consistently set the world alight, but he had the ability to change games. Still did last season. As had been said before, if he was fit would anyone actually prefer Vincenti/Barratt/DKE over him? Granted he isn’t fit, but if he comes back and...
