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

    Robins confirms it in his interview after the FGR game that both Kelly and Ogogo are being asked to play roles that they don't like and curb their natural game. Was obvious for most of the season last year - his movements were too repetitive and scripted, from his starting position on the pitch...

    Could hear the crack from one he did in the centre circle during the 2nd half at Wembley even over the noise of 50,000 spectators. Flew into it.

    Suspect it will be something to do with the international break and it not being classed as the usual non broadcastable window.

    Yeah, think it was Hyam and McDonald in the away fixture last season - was when Davies was out with his collarbone and Willis suspended for the early red at Mansfield. Probably McDonald's last really good game for us.

    We did it superbly last season at their place - manoeuvred him to the edge of the centre circle for a lot of the match. It's not without risk as they often play with 2 or 3 runners beyond him, gambling on low flat balls that he flicks on but it's harder to get that kind of trajectory when the...

    Actually think Doyle will have one of his better games tomorrow. He'll be stood on Akinfenwa's toes all game stopping him getting the ball to feet and picking up his knock downs. His anticipation is very good in those situations and it won't involve him having to cover huge distances. He looked...

    CCFC New Statement.

    I think the statement is more aimed at getting Wasps to talk than anything else at this stage. Read to me like they'd written to Wasps 2 weeks ago and heard nothing back so have used this to publicly try to force a response.

    James Maddison video talking about Cov

    Well it is incredulous. But it is also genuinely the psychology behind why some toothless idiot will be screaming obscenities at an ex-player at the nearest available opportunity. I understand it is an unwelcome explanation on a football message board but nonetheless it is an accurate unpeeling...

    James Maddison video talking about Cov

    The anger that fans show towards a favourite player when they are sold is understandable, especially if they have forced the move (not saying that's the case with Maddison). People love these players - they pay hard earned money to see them, put their names on a shirt, sing their names and their...

    A vegan bogey team. Is a bogey vegan? I guess it would be considered an animal product.

    Charlton: A Few Thoughts

    I was crying out for us not to play two defensive midfielders for most of the season last year because of the impact it had on our attacking performance, especially against the lower teams. I'm not arguing about who would be a worthy replacement anyway, I asked what it is Doyle is doing this...

    Charlton: A Few Thoughts

    Genuine question - if Davies is leading and organising the back 4, what is Doyle so hugely important for? He certainly didn't inspire Bayliss and JCH who were largely anonymous on Saturday. Defensively we could have easily conceded 3 in the first half without complaints, and we were pretty...

    You've got competition. Spotted this in the summer on the Tom Davies Him or Me Youtube vid, which made me chuckle. @Moff, not you is it? :)

    Although weirdly not the Cheltenham checkatrade game in November. Guess that's Cheltenham's decision as it's our only away game.

    Does anyone know if Michael Doyle plays darts?

    I'm not sure he can get up and down the Oche quickly enough these days to really have an impact on the match.
