    Without Armstrong

    What if we'd only have played Armstrong? Would we have 10 points?

    Is this the reason for his improvement this year?

    John Fleck Contract Situation

    Nice hedge to have though for Fleck. Didn't he do the same last year and then sign for 1 year? I guess nothing took his fancy.

    Should the team run out to this tune...

    I'd like to see them run out to Zorba the Greek.

    Just watched the highlights, two comments: 1) It's unfortunate that Phillips slipped for the goal - we seemed to be defending well in the build up. 2) How was that a penalty? Fleck got the ball and you can see it move before the attacker runs into his remaining legs.

    Victim of a Plague of Ghosts?

    I respectfully disagree, IMO it is imperative that we live within our means and build up slowly. We are where we are today because of over-spending in the past. It may be true that football in the premier league is funded by over-spending but it's a bubble - it cannot continue.

    Victim of a Plague of Ghosts?

    You cannot build a silk purse out of any pig's ear of a business in 12 months. The club appears to have been very badly managed for a very long time. My vote, if I had one, would be to give someone time to turn things around and not to put unrealistic short term expectations in their path...

    Clapham has to go: a maelstrom of pixies

    Is it a coincidence that all the games we have lost since autumn have been the ones that Clapham has insisted we play "the Clapham Way"? He has probably insisted that we play without shape in defence and quite possibly is the reason for the poor form. Jamie - do the right thing and resign.

    Wigan Match Thread

    Why do we have 107 central midfielders and two (possibly 1 if you believe that Murphy is better centrally) wingers?

    Wigan Match Thread

    I think we will win. I'm even going to change my prediction in the competition. We never perform as expected.

    Why don't people indicate anymore?

    On this topic, does anyone else think speed bumps are useless? If anything they slow you down.

    The Enemy Split Up

    I heard enough on the radio to know not to listen to the albums - not in the same league as your stuff ;)

    Why don't people indicate anymore?

    I wasn't going to mention this as it might come across badly... about 4 months ago I came back to Cov for the weekend and noticed how much less considerate other drivers were. No indicating and just pulling out when no right of way. Not saying that it isn't bad elsewhere but I did notice that...

    What have they got and we haven't?

    So, apart from team spirit; a happy dressing room; better players; a bit of fight and belief; bigger stronger players; continuity; good owners; an injury free back 4; variety; consistency; more than 57 points; weakest links being better than our weakest links... What have they got that we...

    Huge uphill task for Mowbray next season?

    I love the idea of a defiant Plan B.
