    Should Rasputin be banned?

    I don't think you can ban someone when there is no actual proof that he is Dongo. That said, there's too much coincidence for me: posting frequency, the haiku layout of posts, the content of the posts themselves, the arrival back at the start of a new season, a scattering of comments that look...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Rochdale Match Thread - Saturday 1st Sep

    Said it last week. Luke Thomas = Ryan Kent. End product is 0. Has to at least work the keeper from 2 of the 4 shots he skied.

    Video Mark Robins | Rochdale Preview

    Cuts a lot out from the iFollow video: Ponti to Macclesfield is a season long loan with an option to recall in January. No clause with Sterling but there is an expectation from parent clubs that their loanees play. MR reiterated it has to be at the right standard though. Also Grimmer needed an...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Rochdale Match Thread - Saturday 1st Sep

    It used to get done chess clock style but it was found to be so subject to human error (normally because that human was also responsible for a bunch of other stuff at the games) that they binned it off in favour of this more accurate method. A minute or 2 of forgetting to press the chess clock...

    With Doyle being too slow to get up and down consistently he becomes problematic for me in a 2 man central midfield if Andreu gets dropped for Chaplin. Andreu didn't have a great individual game on Saturday but he floats between the lines and was key to linking up the attacks we had. If he swaps...

    Is that one of those ponzi schemes? I think SISU might have something to say about that!

    Same team and 4-4-2 that started last week's match. City to score early, dominate like last week but Rochdale to collapse. City 4-0. Andreu, JCH x2, Shipley as scorers.

    4-4-2

    He's certainly got the same Haiku posting style! Definitely not a Lannister though.

    I thought that kind of clause has to be transferred into the subsequent contract too these days if it existed in his Norwich contract. So Leicester pay Norwich who pay us type of thing.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I've a feeling Robins likes a project striker every year. Biamou was never a target man at Sutton but we paid a small fee and Robins spent most of last season coaching it into him. Really think he's trying to do the same here too - paid a small fee for a young player with attributes he thinks he...

    I'd be disappointed if that won our goal of the month, nevermind season. Don't get me wrong though, 80% the defending at fault - just felt he could have done better in the moment. Was a much improved overall performance but it's those fine lines that all add up over a season. Game should have...

    Sorry to those who wanted a moving link :) He takes two little steps back and then does a big jump forward, legs akimbo!

    Keepers get beat through their legs all the time BUT I dunno why he felt the need to leave his post and close the player down though, there's no angle to reduce. Just reduced his reaction time, wasn't set properly and made himself vulnerable to a pull back. He doesn't seem the brightest to me...
