    Kelly's made a good start. McFadz with a beautiful chop there too!

    XL Bullies

    I'm a dog owner, but it's a Shih-Tzu, and even then it's small for its breed. She still has very sharp teeth, and for some reason hates men with beards and moustaches, and people in hi-viz. She doesn't have enough muscle to actually bite - more of a playful nip - but if she had the muscle and...

    XL Bullies

    I saw a chap walking one yesterday. He was a well built guy, but the dog was pure muscle and was walking him rather than the other way round. The dog veered into the road and the guy nearly face-planted twice just trying to pull him back, all in the few seconds it took me to drive past. I don't...

    Cov Council Going Bankrupt?

    I think the BBC reported part of the reason as "increasing inflation and social care costs". But surely that applies to all councils in one way, shape, or form. I did see some stats that showed a ~10% reduction in the population of Coventry since Covid, which if true (I have doubts) suggests a...

    Looked like Wilson chopped him down, but I'd argue outside the box

    Sheffield Wednesday

    I see their chairman has had a bit of a rant about their fans: Sure there was another chairman who had some kind of 'club statement' meltdown a couple of years back too. How do some owners think this kind of thing helps?

    Match Thread Queens Park Rangers - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 30th Sep

    For those asking for the Allen to play AM whilst Kelly and Eccles go DM, can I ask who we're bringing on if one of the DMs gets injured or tired? This is our biggest issue imo - MR cannot play all three at the same without significant risk. Wish we'd kept Howley, so at least we had another...

    Throwing it away

    I think Kelly and Eccles have looked absolutely worn out in most second halves this season. The fact we have no-one to bring off the bench to replace them means it's almost inevitable that we'll sink deeper and deeper and concede.

    Callum O Hare

    Spoke to JA at the Watford game, and he said O'Hare was a couple of weeks behind him in terms of a return to full training, so given how quickly he returned to the first team I can only imagine O'Hare will be fairly close behind, even given his lengthy time out. If nothing else, his return will...

    We’ll finish top twelve

    Pretty sure (as in, I'm not really sure) but don't we always play better / get more points in the second half of the season under MR?

    This will piss on a few people’s chips

    Playing devil's advocate, so tongue firmly in cheek, but is that not a plus? Aren't we always told that getting points even when playing shit is what good teams ultimately do?

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    We sometimes forget that he's moved to a new country, a new league, surrounded by more new players than existing, with a team learning a new style, and with some key players out injured. It's a perfect storm, but over time it'll all settle down. But how long will that take, and will we have the...

    Think he's wedded to the idea of keeping some of the old players in key positions still. I get why he does it, but we're a sixth of the way through the season now and arguably it shouldn't be needed.

    Ayari has been adequate, but doesn't put in the hard yards yet. He'll come good, but needs to up his work rate a bit.

    Allen for Ayari is my guess.

    Normally every team has at least a 10 minute spell on top in a game. Hudds have had the last 20.

    This is where our weak squad doesn't help. Need some energy in midfield, but the options are ridiculously weak. Put Allen on now, and we're an injury away from being fucked for the rest of the game.

    We're looking very flat so far 2nd half.
