    Match Thread Gillingham Away

    I can't see Sheaf or Ostigaard playing at Gillingham or any of Saturdays starting eleven, they will be needed Friday. They can work on fitness during the week in a controlled envirpnment. Rose Dabo Walker and Bakayoko yes. Time for some youngsters like Eccles to gain experience. With no...

    He is only 22 players normally mature and are at their peak between 25 and 30.

    You don't even have to win the ball sometimes, just challenge and make it as difficult as possible for the attacker.

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    We would be lost as a Cat 1 club and the outlay isn't worth it. We have a good reputation rightly for developing players. They know Coventry will give them a shot at first team minutes if they are good enough; or at least loan them out for first team minutes.

    Player Ratings v Bristol

    If Eccles is given a shot I wouldn't be too worried. I thought he has looked half decent when I have seen him. The reason I said Pask is he prefers to play in centre of defence and who has been brought up as a technical footballer at West Ham. I believe he has had some experience playing as a...

    How many points for safety?

    Every team has to reach safety first, even the team that kicks on from there and wins it.

    Once Dabo is back I would suspect it will be Pask.

    Player Ratings v Bristol

    We probably tried to rush Kelly back a bit soon, especially with Sheaf not being fully up to speed? Hope it is nothing too serious as we need Kelly. Shipley is not a DM - so lets not be too harsh when he is just trying to plug gaps in an unfamiliar role. Hamer, Sheaf and Walker all seem...

    Fans marks Kelly 23 min n/a Yet Walker 23 mins and getting 5 or 6??? Is the first 23 mins less influencial than the last 23 mins?

    People often focus on shots, dribbling, passing and tackling. Just on the ball stuff, because they just follow the ball. They don't always see runs off the ball, back tracking their man, closing play down. Basically the knackering work. Thats why alot of our midfield were knackered after 70...

    Match Thread Bristol City V Coventry City

    He has already stated he wants a couple more, but it will be down to budget. I think we will have to off load a couple first. Its a shame Kasteneer didn't impress when away on trial.

    Lack of chances to train. Remember season ended earlier for us than Championship teams.

    That would be my guess...is it a loan or a delayed purchase?

    Match Thread MK Dons (Away)

    In fairness to Oggy he accepts Marosi tries to play it short and that is the way City play. But he did say the way MK pressed you can't always play it short without putting defenders under pressure. It is about decision making and sometimes you need variation and go long to find the space...

    Reasons to be cheerful

    The early sending off made it very difficult for us today. We had to work really hard and there were lots of positives. We created as many chances as they did with 10 men. This is the sort of tough game we needed fitness wise.

    It takes about 5 to 6 league games for all teams to settle. When you go down to 10 men and have lost centre of midfield it is a hard rut to get out of. Robins gambled with subs and formation and it paid off. Both sides should have scored 2 or 3 today. First competitive game and several...
