    Rob Gurney v Clive Eakin

    Played football against Dent. Had an extremely unlikeable streak that came out whenever he was losing. Which he was every time he ever played against me. 😛

    Rob Gurney v Clive Eakin

    I like Clive a lot. He’s like a slightly barmy uncle who gets everyone’s names wrong at a family party but his commentary is good, and his knowledge of refereeing provides a good balance with Oggy’s knowledge of tactics and the players. They’re a great match really.

    In general terms, if you play 3 in midfield, you have a creative 10, a sitter, and a guy who goes box to box. The box to box role ticks all of Hamer’s boxes. I think he’d score 12 goals if given the freedom in a full season.

    He's 'only' 33. That said, I do think 3 central midfielders has played a significant part in his recent success. Not sure if he could play in 2 man central midfield at this level still. I think his biggest issue though, like Godden, is staying fit for an extended period of time.

    I still remember Kelly getting slated after the defeat away at Forest Green Rovers in Feb 2018. He went off injured in the same match that Jodi Jones did his first ACL and didn’t play for 10 weeks after. He got absolutely slated in his first match back, that FGR game, while people were loving...

    For a moment I thought Hasis Sunkin was our new Turkish striker.

    The thing I’m looking forward to most today is the 20 different ways of spelling permutations on the match thread.

    Season tickets details

    I wouldn’t be surprised if King turns out to be an absolute egotistical maniac who has signed some weird deal with SISU that didn’t actually cost him anything up front but sees them get a huge wedge if we go up or on the sales of players somehow. There’s something uncomfortably narcissistic...

    Did he go for 'Viktor' or 'Gustavo' in the end?

    The penalty

    As long as Bidwell doesn’t take a weird run up and shoot with the outside of his foot, like all his shots yesterday 🙂

    The penalty

    Not sure I believe Robins on this one. I think he’s purposefully playing it down. Has Vik ever taken a penalty when Godden is on the pitch before?

    Norton-Cuffy is having his best game by an absolute mile today.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 29th Apr

    Would definitely be thinking about Allen for Kelly at half time, not the Kelly has played badly but just to structure the midfield in a way that we have an additional progressive pass when we get the ball deeper. Can't string 3 passes together currently without having to go long or rely on a...

    Eccles, Kelly and Hamer playing a very flat 3 currently. Birmingham getting a lot of bodies forward and the half spaces are enormous for them to play into.
