    Match Thread Coventry City - Derby County Match Thread - Wednesday 6th Nov

    Good thing is so do Sunderland. Plus they won’t have Jobe available against us. Hopefully we have a 2 goal cushion vs Derby early to be able to rest, rotate players. Players like Simms, Bassette, Saka, EMC, Da Silva, Kitching who played little or not at all on Sat will need to step up and...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Nov

    Considering it was an anti-red day with Boro's all white kit, it was ironic that their player saw red on the day. It follows on from last week's red to the Luton player which is more ironic I guess. Tough enough to beat Boro 3-0, but we did it while having to also play Birmingham and Brighton...

    Why do we frequently start the season shit ?

    Simple. Our defence is shit and has been shit for quite awhile. We give ourselves an enormous task just to stay in a match, let alone try to win it.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Dieng is not a great goalie. Had an an OG today and parries a lot of shots into dangerous areas. We need to fire away within range of goal and our front players need to be ready to pounce on any spills from him.

    Victor Torp

    Today’s game vs Luton hopefully reveals where different players thrive when played in their natural positions. Torp plays better behind the front 2 and is not a defensive midfielder. He can shoot whereas Sheaf and Eccles don’t have that in their locker and are better suited in winning the ball...

    Ball carrying centre halves

    I think Santos was slow and lumbering in last year’s playoff final that Bolton lost to Oxford. Should try to recruit better than him.

    Haji Wright

    It was Lati who shoved Holmes off the pitch, not Wright.

    In all our wins this season, we’ve scored 3 times. 2 of those by the odd goal. While that is great, I want us to start winning games scoring just once. That would mean our defence has improved.

    Get Bassette or BTA in and Eccles off. Go for it.

    C’mon this is so unjust. 2 dumb lapses but we’ve dominated the match.

    Agree. Would have taken him off instead of Saka.

    Just huffed and puffed but produced nothing. No creativity to unlock their defence. They get 2 chances and produce 2 goals. Our team has no luck either. Ref has been decent and given calls our way. So no complaints there.

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    After getting rid of Adi and Lawrence as well experienced heads such as Fadz, Kelly, Godden etc. we have a young, inexperienced squad massively lacking in belief and resilience at the moment. In the past we had the luxury of being able to rely on the individual talents of Gus, Vik and COH as...

    Player ratings v weds

    Couldn’t care less about who played well or didn’t. Collectively they looked uncomfortable and out of sorts for large parts of the game. Such a shaky defence and midfield that’s easily overrun. In every match it’s not a question of whether we’ll concede a goal, but when. Confidence must be at...
