    Awfull tactics from lampard

    We developing a worrying tendency to go too long and too often, it's horrible to watch. Really played to their strengths on Friday.

    Latibeaudiere

    Kitching's a game off suspension after collecting unnecessary yellows, for example. We'll need Lati at some stage but he's been injured and can't be match sharp even if he's on the bench.

    Torp Injury

    and the idiots who repeat it. Went around faster than the news that Rizzo has a bun in the oven!

    Rudoni injury

    He did his shoulder again in the match he got the calf problem, I pretty sure of that.

    What are your feelings of gordan strachans time as manager here

    People make just the same arguments about Simmo re easier games etc. I certainly count penalties I've seen enough missed over the years!

    Having the cheek to bad mouth the club after such a poor season is why he's disliked so much

    Ballamy was crocked when he came no doubt about it - we were surely lied to about the extent of that injury. Hughes was ok enough, top scorer.

    Rudoni injury

    I'm not sure it is just a calf thing but there was/is a calf problem. Reading between the lines he also has to strengthen his shoulder too https://www.pressreader.com/uk/coventry-telegraph/20251018/281943139100135

    Strachan had agreed a new contract with him only for the board the sell him. That was the beginning of the end.

    What are your feelings of gordan strachans time as manager here

    A month out looking at the fixtures I was always confident that we'd win that game if we needed to. Same again in 97 was it? Wasn't worried for a second! It was very strange.

    As a small club in the PL you might have hopes of winning 1/3, drawing 1/3 and expecting to lose 1/3 of games. In a 42 game season that's around 56 pts. To be honest thats solid mid table and pushing for top half. That is roughly Strachan's record at the club. Could we have expected better...

    Loved him. He never took us down - the board can claim that honour! We had no main striker until John Hartson came about mid-February time! Sometimes came into the hotel bar where we drank in Kenilworth (it could be hard to get quality beer in those days) with his wife on a Saturday night. He...

    Yes. I think Howe is from the same generation, England side in the 50s then with Bertie Mee at Arsenal. Notice Lampard still has the POMO doctrine ingrained.

    Good player. It's a shame he was just that bit too young when we had him. A bit like Ayari was or Clarke-Harris looking back

    It was a lovely ball, possibly/probably a foul though.

    We need Simmo to be performing like this if we want to go up, it's great to see the fight and the desire back. We need all three of the strikers, Haji and BTA can't carry us for the whole season by themselves.

    Bloody Don (Boring) Howe invented the long ball game! We got suckered into playing too long at times yesterday...
