    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Oct

    Southend are unbeaten in 5 but their away form is better than their home form, their last home match was a 0-0 with lowly Oxford. Amazingly they haven't scored at home in the first half yet and have only conceded once while we have only scored 1 first half goal away at Bristol when we already...

    Is Kelly likely to be back in for Saturday? Otherwise can't see the logic behind Ogogo getting the full 90 mins for the U23s yesterday. Kelly seems to be ahead of him in the current pecking order but will be in danger of losing any match fitness he's gained recently if he only gets the odd...

    While I bet this blatant attempt at cheating the ref goes completely unpunished:

    Nations league

    Put Sterling in a position like he was for England in Russia, receiving the ball in a static position where he needs to think what to do with the ball, and he's average at best. He has an inconsistent technique and lacks the football brain to play a deeper creative role. Last night though he...

    Thought Maguire's tackle that the ref also gave a yellow for was fine too. @Nick You'll like Top Tackles on twitter. Here's a good 'un from the Fleetwood Accrington game last week:

    Jordan Shipley - is he good enough for league 1

    Not ignoring it, just enjoying you feeding your Narcissistic personality disorder. I mocked starting Hiwula at left midfield against top of the league Portsmouth when both our recognised left backs were injured and Hiwula hadn't played for weeks. Big difference bringing him into an otherwise...

    Coventry vs Wycombe - player ratings

    Doyle was instrumental in last season's promotion but the standard was a league below and we had many players come into that team through the season, with no previous football league experience (e.g. Biamou, Hyam, Shipley, Bayliss) who he helped immensely but now have a season in men's football...

    Coventry vs Wycombe - player ratings

    Burge - 7 - None of the top class saves of recent weeks but was great under the conditions, particularly first half, claiming plenty of high balls and solid kicking throughout. Sterling - 8 - Looked the part today defensively and going forwards. His assist shows there's still more to come from...

    Absolutely deserved that and great for momentum. Wycombe are as bad a team as we've seen this season though, a fluent team would have smashed them.

    5 points off the playoffs. Just booked a table at the Green Man.

    Think that might have just helped Sterling to MoM over Davies. He's been excellent today. Fully looked like he belongs in men's football.

    Think Hiwula's decision making has gone out the window 2nd half - suspect tiredness. Not played much recently and then 3 times in a week.

    Genuinely shocked that anyone can watch this and think Doyle is contributing anything other than to undermine our own attacking performance. Absolutely shocking today again.

    If I was Ainsworth I'd get Akinfenwa dropping on to Brown like Rhead/Lincoln did against us last year.

    Been surprised how little Wycombe have looked long for Akinfenwa. Ainsworth slowly transitioning away from last year's style of play?

    Davies must have played 6 diagonal passes that have all found their man this half. Been impressive.

    Wycombe are ripe for an absolute tonking if we start using our pace out wide and stop wasting every single dead ball.

    We're not exactly playing silky flowing football through the middle though. It's long balls or diagonals out wide - Bayliss is getting bypassed.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Wycombe Wanderers Match Thread - Saturday 13th Oct

    Sloppy first 6 minutes starting with the kick off that ended out of play after 5 seconds. Aimless long balls from Doyle and Willis, silly free kicks given away and barely 3 passes strung together.
