However the point is irrefutable. Were we in Southampton's position with their squad playing a team in our position, regardless of recent form, the majority opinion on here would be for an easy victory. And the mood would be just as nauseatingly cocky

Eccles has to come back or else Sheaf and the defence is too exposed with only one holding midfielder. Southampton are not Brum and I suspect we could be hammered without the extra defensive cover. It seems to me there are two options 1. Straight swap Eccles for Allen. 2. Replace a striker...

But how many chances did he have to do it quickly? It actually makes my point. Need to do that almost every time

Good (in no order) Bidwell, MvE, O'Hare, Sheaf, Saka, the referee. Par for the course: Collins, Kitching, Thomas, Allen, Wright Below par: Simms, the opposition MoM: Bidwell. Should be Saka or O'Hare but Bidwell is so solid, makes few errors, does his best going forward, makes himself...

'feelings' are something only experienced by fans. For all other participants in the game it's 90% money 10% pride, just like everybody else's working life

Can we please start two new permanent threads so that ratings and matchday threads aren't cluttered up with......(politeness forbids me from saying)....but actually I will, b.......x 1. The Mea Culpa thread: This is for people to piously intone how they were critical of player x but now...

Three most likely outcomes Ipswich 0 - 5 City (Wright 5) Ipswich 1 - 0 City (Chaplin) Ipswich 0 - 0 City I suspect the middle one. .

I suspect the fairy tale indian summer of Ben Wilson is over. The lovely story of the perpetual number two and all round good bloke who finally gets his chance, makes the play-off finals and wins golden gloves. Sitting in the dug out again I suspect he may know that is where he is going to be...

Ditto Am I right in thinking we have three left sided central defenders - Lati, Binks and Kitching, or have I got Lati wrong?

This will mean that Lats will have played in three different positions already in his Coventry career.

amongst the 'average' bunch. While we are stretched so thin, I would sacrifice him for an extra midfielder.

Finally got a second to post something. Broke a 60 year record last night and left before 90 minutes, something I have never done before, in fact make a point of not doing so. The game was pretty dire and both sides bang average. It has come to a pass when Wilson becomes our most influential...

...nor was van Eweck's goal very 'tippy tappy'

The best tippy tappy at Watford was by their centre-half. Not sure we can rely on that

assume from below, Binks will play altho many of you prefer combinations without him

We are scoring goals but leaking so I would go one up front, presumably (and thro gritted teeth) Godden. Bring back the midfield four - Eccles, Ayari, Palmer and I assume Kelly. Kitching has to come in given the defensive weakness. Collins for Wilson for the same reason It won't happen because...

Wake up and smell the coffee. Mid table would always have been good this year. That was the case even before the injuries. We are in the same position as the League 2 season in terms of the development cycle just from a much higher starting point and where it is a lot more competitive. Lots of...

why?

I don't think excitement is what we want. A good away point against a form team will do

Don't think about the names think about the formation. We are only allowed eleven players on the pitch. We can't have 4 midfielders and 2 strikers so you have to take your pick. A stronger midfield is imho of more value than a second striker in an away game. We could keep Godden at the...
