    I can't wait for the criticism of TM after the game for not playing Joe Cole. There will be at least one text/call/tweet about it.

    Joe Cole

    It's interesting how everybody on social media is suddenly a Coventry fan now we are headline news. I love part time/glory supporting fans.

    I would guess 4-2-3-1, with AA or Fortune on the wing.

    Shrewsbury (Home) Match thread

    Slightly random question, but help would be appreciated: I usually drive part way to the ground and walk the rest, but today I'm getting a taxi into town after. Any recommendations on the best place to get one? I assume there are some outside the casino? If so, does anyone know if they get...

    Joe Cole

    Ashley Cole and Carlton Cole are free agents. I would fully support as many Cole's in the team as possible.

    Joe Cole

    I doubt it myself but....I really hope this is true, predominantly due to the amount of ridicule it has received.

    Reda tweet

    He is a solid L1 CB and obviously a talisman for a lot of supporters. However, he is not virtually unbeatable in the air, he was made to look a fools by Noel Hunt a few weeks ago - a striker who is less than six foot. I would prefer him in the team than out, but let's not pretend he is the...

    Burge tomorrow

    This is a little bit of a non-starter. There have been numerous threads about Burge over the last week, with people voicing different opinions, but at no point have I got the impression any negative views will be expressed at the next game i.e. tomorrow. Personally, I think Burge is the weak...

    I hope he scores against us. It will allow the same section of fans to stand up and applaud a goal scored AGAINST us again. Such a touching moment.

    As I typed that, he played a defence splitting pass.......

    He wasn't offside when Martin first touched the ball. Lameries is pretty quiet, potentially give Fortune 20 mins, put JOB on the right and Tudgay at 10?

    Burton Albion (Away) Match Thread

    Murphy is an incredibly frustrating player. His anticipation rating on FM would be 0. Never seems to make the obvious run and gives up if the ball doesn't go exactly where he wants it. But when he has the ball and runs at the opposition he looks dangerous!

    Brilliant first touch (and celebration) from Tudgay!

    Aaron Phillips

    Makes sense. He is poor defensively, and would be exposed even more today against a team who play in the manner of Burton. We we will lose an outlet at RB, as I don't imagine Ricketts will make as any forward runs, but the first objective of a defensive unit is to prevent the opposition...

    Lateef signs

    Similar find to Lameires potentially; at a Prem club, limited opportunity so ultimately allowed to leave and ended up playing in an obscure European league. Lets hope TM can give him the confidence and belief he needs to be an asset. I also know a few lads who played with/against him - they...

    Anyone going to dare do the ratings tonight?

    Burge- 5.5 - doesn't inspire confidence in the crowd or the defence. Distribution improved from recent games, but still could not be classed as 'good'. Phillips - 5 - poor. Justified what I have always thought; passionate, committed, offensively sound but not a right back. He's a RWB playing...

    Johnson is being made to look an absolute fool by their strikers. I don't think him and Ricketts have won a header all game - it's no surprise they scored from a cross. Not enough movement in the attacking third and we are reverting to route one, which won't work with our strikers. Close...

    Still enough movement in that front four to cause problems. TM has opted to keep the usual style rather than potentially having to adapt to start Tudgay. Confident we will make up for last week; 2-0 with a good attacking performance.

    Their Number 9

    He was definitely a handful - it is rare to see Johnson in genuine battles for balls in the air or beimg held off the ball as he was at times tonight. Could be the target man/alternative option we are looking for up front. Crewe are a selling club, so I am sure they are open to offers and I...

    Crewe (Home) Match Thread

    We may have had a high number of long shots, but they have had one and scored. Probability suggests one of ours will eventually go in. Shots from outside the area is also slightly misleading - it implies we have had a number of pot shots. With the exception of two from JOB, they have all...
