    Match Thread Accrington Stanley - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Oct

    I’ve been saying since the first few games in; we’re so one dimensional tactically. We have one game plan: First Half - defend deep, don’t concede, pass to Jones and see if he can conjure anything on his own. Second Half - move further up the pitch, allow Kelly to play box to box, and pass to...

    Good to get the win overall, although it's a shame it was through penalties so we didn't get the full points. However, it's especially pleasing considering the number of changes to the team and the amount of academy players on show. In my eyes it's further proof we have one of the strongest...

    The game seems to be passing DeKE by. We are picking it up a little though. Duck is more involved. Kelly has played well.

    Grimmer gets skinned at least twice a game. He's very hit and miss. Not sure he's better than DKE.

    Pick up the tempo and the game should easily be ours. We aren't playing particularly well and the tempo has dropped but they aren't threatening. I'd keep the team as if for now, but move everyone forward slightly and go attacking.

    Match has gone flat. We are sitting quite deep, not sure why as they haven't offered much. Second goal would absolutely kill them off though.

    Dominating and looking dangerous. Duck and Biamou look a look more dangerous than previous partnerships. Pace and power scares defenders. It helps that Crewe are woeful.

    I would keep the team as is. I've said it all season; pace in this league (and any to be fair) scares defenders, especially the poor quality ones we now face. DKE and Jones will scare them by their presence.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Crewe Alexandra Match Thread - Saturday 30th Sep

    Us to win and over 2.5 goals looks a decent bet, albeit only at 3/1. As is the way with Coventry fans we are extremes; both positive and negative. Saying that, it's justified today after two good wins, especially the manner in which we did so on Tuesday. I'll never forget the JPT game against...

    January transfer window

    Let's hit a run of form and pick up some very impressive victories, despite having a number of first choice players out, but ignore that and create a unsubstantiated worry just to get cheap Anti SISU likes. Pathetic.

    To be fair, while it's still pretty low, the entertainment value has picked up a little the last few games. As you say though, I imagine Crewe will come to park the bus, so we need to be patient and hope Robins has plans a - e.

    Must Watch...

    Yes I agree, it's brilliant to see. I noticed the same on Saturday when we scored the first, every outfield player sprinted to celebrate with Jones, it shows a great togetherness which is exactly what a promotion chasing team needs. I didn't get that feeling at all last year, where as this...

    What a difference supporting a winning team makes when at work. No annoying banter, no embarrassment at your team losing again at the weekend, no need to repeat the same excuses every week. And most importantly even more reason to tell the Wasps fans to sod off. Even if it only lasts a season...

    Great result. Three points on Saturday and confidence will be absolutely sky high.

    To be fair, Biamou is having a good second half, at least in the air. I don't think he's missed a header. We are looking worrying too in control, just waiting for the sucker punch.

    I said it last week and got some stick, but I'm not sure what Biamou offers. I appreciate he's young and raw, so I'm sure he'll come good, but would prefer to see Ponti, at least he's scoring, even if it's a lower level.

    They are top of the league and they are nothing special at all. Should give us hope, as when/if it clicks I think we will be. Individually we have better players than most teams. We just need to be a bit more offensive.

    I literally say the same thing every week - such a lack of creativity in midfield and movement when attacking. So so frustrating.
